Nothing.
Sephiroth showing up so fricking early all the time
The story? Nothing
The title? 100%, because its not a remake
To be fair it is an apt title in itself, it's the communication and marketing around it that was dishonest.
I mean, yeh
But people was expecting a remake as in, what we understand for the word when referencing games and as you say the marketing for it was that of a remake
I can perfectly understand how people would get mad at it
so The Thing 1981 isn't a remake? fricking charlatans
It's a sequel, it's not supposed to have the same story
Dude I'm so fricking tired of having to repeat this to absolute baboons, how do you still not know this like 5 years after release
Quite a lot. In fairness, it's a sequel so not necessarily intended to replace the original. In reality, though, many of the scenes that should have remained virtually unchanged have significant differences that are worse.
For example, the plate collapse is a joke. The entire section of Aeris walking around looking for Marlene while everyone escapes is ridiculous. Is she in a hurry or not? Seemingly nobody dies and you can return despite an entire fricking city being dropped and all that's around is a bit of rubble. Biggs, Wedge and Jessie all have long drawn out death scenes, despite the players being in a hurry. In the original they have very short bits of dialogue telling you to go on; now they have 5 minute "dramatic" cutscenes.
Also, the Shinra building prison escape. No blood trail, just a purple goo mess. Padding in the form of Hojo's lab ruining pacing. The president is hanging off of the side of the building for seemingly no reason, then Barrett goes inside to have a chat with him while the rest of the party wait outside because...???? And of course, Sephiroth is not menacing in this scene because we've seen him every 5 seconds gurning at the player over and over.
>added homosexualry
>added censorship
>made Tifa's breasts smaller and covered them removed physics and also made her legs skinny
>removed blood from the game
>added kingdom hearts nonsense
>added diversity NPCs, Black folk, poojeets, etc
>Sephiroth is a good guy now
>various filler nonsense like jess background story bits
overall is a different game
moronic schizo stormgay
prove me wrong you inbred mongol
>made cloud troon out ans enjoy it
>and also made her legs skinny
They're actually way too thick.
Tifa's legs were sticks in the original.
how did Sony trick people into thinking that this was cutting edge graphics?
Its a sequel
completely fricked, so I wouldn't focus on that. The combat and personalities of the characters are perfect but the overarching story is completely fricked. Kingdom Hearts-tier king of fricked. Pure nonsense.
I've gotta wonder how strange it was for people who never played the original and went into 7R expecting a remake to, in the middle of an emotional moment where potentially thousands of people are dying, see a wacky animated cat suddenly bumble onto the scene and start crying. Surreal.
I think as long as you keep your expectations low and without nostalgia goggles, the game would still be fine even though it is not 100% original.
As for the story frickup, so far nothing really major, so we shouldn't judge, but Sephiroth was showing too often and it was so annoying.
All and all, it was a great game for both old fans and those new to the franchise.
The Sephiroth bit I disagree, because it is a sequel, so you already know him
He is not supposed to be this mysterious threatening villain that he was in the original, because the original has already passed
Frick in Rebirth you play as him
In Rebirth you play as him because in the og you play as him.
I have 0 remembrance of this
The nibelheim flashback.
Well technically the nibelheim flashback is just one giant cutscene so now they decided to not make it that.
But as you said, wasnt that a cutscene? Also you play as "current" Sephiroth too I think from what I saw
Havent really paid too much attention since its a PS5 exclusive anyways
It's just flashback, no current sephiroth
you do not play as sephiroth. he is in your party but not controlled by you.
It's a sequel.
Yes that's the twist.
Amazing it’s taking Rebirth for people to see this. The time jannies should have been the largest hint for the smooth brains.
Add the moogle dropping a fortune you fool
red pill: It's complete love letter to fans of the original, and not at all messing it up.
It's a love letter to the compilation/KH, not the original.
Maybe if you want to be generous, but they tried to double dip and also sell it to the people who never played the original and these people are getting a narrative mess.
as stupid as the compilation could get, it never had multiverse time travel bullshit
How the frick did they turn a 6-8 hour section of a 50 hour game into its own video game?
By padding it the frick out
those 6 8 hours were rushed as frick.
Yeah because it's the "BIG EVIL DESTROYS YOUR VILLAGE" setup that Square is known for.
The game is 35 hours if you take your time and do as much as possible on your first playthrough. It's a runtime that suits what is actually happening in the story. The same content in the original game seems rushed in comparison
>The same content in the original game seems rushed in comparison
You need to go back to the Jurassic era to get the oxygen density needed to support a cope of this size.
>R-1 ends with them avoiding advent children's events from happening
>advent children still happens
AC is prequel, it links up alright
>So just how much did they frick the story up compared to the original?
What do you mean "compared to the original"? It IS an original game.
What, you thought it was a remake or something?
It isn't even slightly similar to the original.
It improved the story but ruined Sephiroth and everything about him
Sephiroth was an extreme narcissist and schzio in the original.
He was a mysterious figure in the original, and ther remake used him as a "lol I'm watching you Cloud all the time like a gay stalker XDDD" meme
He wasn't mysterious. They have an entire flashback of him finding out he's an alien immediately after you leave Midgar.
Sephiroth being a "stalker" makes perfect sense and it fits what sephiroth was about. He wants to break cloud into doing his bidding. In the OG cloud casually just happens to break.
Cloud was broken from the very second you start the game.
He wasnt, he was wrongly fixed. He needs to break again.
I have extreme FFVII autism. I beat it multiple times as a kid, and multiple times as an adult, I even did a 100% completion run which took me hundreds of hours. I'm scared to play the remake. I feel like I'm going to hate every second and that it's going to shit on everything I love about the game. Should I just bite the bullet and torrent it anyway? I don't want to seethe the entire time kek but I'm also extremely curious and have been avoiding it for a long time now.
You will likely enjoy it
You will seethe
that depends on why you like it.
I played through VII 36 times and 100% it 11 of those times. I was infuriated by the Remake every two minutes and couldn't play more than two hours of it before quitting it forever.
It’s a sequel so who cares
>everyone expecting it's a sequel
>turns out it's a prequel
I worked hard to maintain the acceptable narrative in this thread with only 30 people in it. Another good day.
