Overall, I liked it. But one part that really bothered me was the sequence before the Sephiroth fire scene. It 100% should have been just a cutscene instead. Trying to have awkward "interactive" moments which I guess what they were going for was immersion, kinda kills the tension and pacing of a scene. Hope there's not many in the full-game. Same for the valve part in the reactor which should have been done with 1 button-hold, though that bothered me less so I'm not that uptight about it.

are there open world areas in the demo
No and neither there will be in actual game. They just big hallways like the world map in OG until you get the airship
The same open world as widening a path with climbable cliffs like ff13 open zone or dark souls zones without poison swamps
See Nomura-slop
Tell shills "not buying"

No regrets
It was a direct downgrade from the original scene. Slowly stumbling around and then crawling was pointless. Also, the violence was more tame than PG-13 movies.

No Final Fantasy is trying to be "violent" but the ones specifically going for that like 16, SoP, or the type-0 games. This is a bad shit-post method of complaint to go for. And before you say it, the blocky popeye men getting sliced, shot, etcetera in the original only happened because it looked ridiculous and abstract enough to not matter.
>No Final Fantasy is trying to be "violent"
You never played a final fantasy game.
You absolute Black person. The original game has trails of blood and snakes impaled on spikes. 7R had a trail of glowing Jenova jizz and no blood. Sephiroth killing the three villagers while you were crawling looked like he was slapping them with a stick.
Yes, I'm aware of that. And as said before, they could get away with most of it because of the visuals. Also, Rebirth has blood as we saw with Tifa getting slashed in the trailer and the ESRB listing "pools of blood", and the giant Snake is impaled in the game.
>looked like he was slapping them with a stick.
Just like the original you purists love so much.
lolno
NTA but how did the swordplay differed from the og Nibelheim flashback where lego-Sephiroth swung his polygon stick at the villagers?

Nomura can only talk excuses and blame lower ranked wageslaves for his frick ups. Why doesn't he name the things he's responsible for then? They must be awesome, lol?
>Why doesn't he name the things he's responsible for then?
I remember going back last year to finish ff15 after I stopped at the levi fight because it bugged out. I never realized how shallow the combat was until that part. It's especially bad in the penultimate chapter when you have to walk down hallway with ring
>I never realized how shallow the combat was until that part
How slow are you exactly? Should have been able to tell from the very beginning.
Worst FF game by far and one of the worst JRPGs of all time.
No one pointing out they are just standing there with guns pointed at Sephiroth, not firing. Come on, man. At least give them swords so its somewhat believable. Are they suppose to be too scared? Please.
It felt like it was supposed to be more like everything is happening in slow motion to me in between crawls. It looked goofy to me as well that they had guns and no one was able to get a few rounds off in his direction.
>Are they suppose to be too scared?
Yeah I'm sure that what was supposed to be conveyed. They were scared and frozen. It was just a little awkward though since it went on for a few seconds too long. Would have been better if the gun-guy shot at Sephiroth between the seconds of frozen-fear.
This, and Cloud waddling around for a bit too long were about my only gripes with the demo.
Fricking hell. I feel sorry for my kids knowing the kind of games I grew up with.

The mansion and everything afterwards needs re-work. The music, cutscenes, atmosphere were all off and didn't feel nearly as impactful as the original.

Cool.
Who you taking on a date /v?
Tifa, Aerith and Yuffie
Spoilers when?
What sort of spoilers you looking for?
Temple of the ancients its the end with a rushed city of ancients with jannies shit again and sephiroth oh and no rocket town
I've never played crisis core, should I?
I like FF7 OG and somewhat enjoyed remake (bit confused at the end as you might guess).
Honestly, nah. Game sucks. If you really care about learning more about Zack (everything you need to know you learn in the last Nibelheim flashback in OG) just watch a youtube highlights of the game or something.
>Rebirth is going to run up to the BEGINNING of the Forgotten Capital
What is going down in this game bros
yes pls delete all "slow walk" /crawl sections from the game, was annoying enough in remake.
I feel like some of those qte sections were mandated by Sony just to show off the controller fuctionality with its reactive/haptic shit. Just pointless self-indulgent crap.
Likewise I liked more than I disliked but the mako cleansing machines you gotta push around just sucked. Everything about it made a pretty janky feeling game feel sluggish. Also don’t put a chest at the lower level you are forced to climb down the latter then back up to retrieve with absolutely nothing else down there.
The whole time from when Cloud gets gimped through the slow walk through town I was annoyed only to get greeted with getting knocked down to crawling with shoulder buttons. I can’t believe that nonsense got past the brainstorming session. Playing as Seph was a highlight at least.
They even got wrong the fight against the dragon in the truck scene
They still used Nibel area native enemy
Stop complaining! Bunch of cry babies who never created anything in their lives. Do you realize how lucky we are to be getting this game and how amazing it is? The art on display is phenomenal. Who cares if some of the rocks or plants are a little more low res. I want the game to run at 60fps. Just shut up and enjoy something for once. Gamers are so exhausting
Hi kitase you fricking suck even at upgrading your work from the 90s
Is the demo mostly open world/exploration or mostly flashback/story?
It's the Nibelheim flash back. Not much exploring, just like in OG. There will be second demo with Junon area 21st Feb
The initial demo is the Nibelheim flashback with story and combat and is linear. There's an update coming at some point between now and the full release that adds an exploration area.
You cant explore freely you just get bigger hallways than remake with a little verticality with materia putted in some cliffs/platforms
This demo is flashback stuff, open world demo happens in a couple weeks
This demo is the Flashback, up to the Sephiroth in the fire scene. There's another one probably the week after next that will be in the Junon region, the same demo and area that influencers and journalists played.
The worst thing about the demo is it being 720p on 60fps mode
720p isn't bad.
you're talking about a resolution that hasn't been a benchmark for entertainment for over two decades anon
>that hasn't been a benchmark for entertainment for over two decades
What do you mean? It's still been used a lot these past two decades
Is all the hate on the demo on Ganker real? It seemed pretty good to me other than the stupid vacuum cleaners.
It's mostly just typical Ganker bad faith/shitposting
Have you been to FF7R threads? They always like this. There's 1-2 guys having been at it for 4 years now
Do people here even know what open world actually means?
About the same impression. I had fun with the demo but I'm baffled they botched the burning of Nibelheim so hard.
There's none of the sense of terror that comes with the Those Chosen By The Planet implementation in the OG FFVII, instead there's the stupid stretched out limping segment and the even more moronic standoff, with a butchered "epic score" remix of the theme and One Winged Angel.
Also the whole walking limped in the burning section like its the last of shit
>waaaaaaah Final Fantasy has too manh cutscenes frick movie games
>waaaaaaah this videogame has gameplay
Watch a movie
So I heard Squeenix deleted their ethics department recruitment page. Completely.
You guys think something big is going to happen?
They outsourced to sweet baby.
Frick.
There goes my happiness.

>Old story script seems to have gotten wet, crumpled in the trash, pulled back out a decade and a half later and paraphrased with a heavy dose of PC seasoning sprinkled throughout it's highlights
Wow. Didn't see that coming.
for me it's FF16

>let me throw myself into death for no reason
good idea
The limping annoyed me more than the crawl. I don't even think the valve was that bad. It made use of the triggers getting more stiff as the valve tightened.
The music was good but 400+ may be a bit much
Its a todd lie like the 800 endings in fallout 3
kys barry. luminous is still dead and tabata is still fired.
I can't believe Square has made me nostalgic for FF12.
