Zoomer with ps2. I actually do know this feeling because I played FF9 on real hardware. I am ambivalent to this though and only experienced as an adult so no irrational nostalgic attachment
>only experienced as an adult
You'll never get it...
It's not because of his age, it's because of the time frame. Even adults back when multi-disc PS1 games first came out would have thought it was cool in the sense of, "There's so much game here, it can't be fit on one disc. Technology is getting so awesome." But he was brought up during a time when technology had surpassed that, so of course it'd mean nothing now, regardless of age.

Yeah you're right. Thing is things like that are lost to everyone nowadays. Watch movies that are 100 years old. We are all missing things.
>That's a limitation, not a feature
Yet these limitations is what birthed innovation and soul beyond anything zoomers will ever experience with their terabyte-sized streamed piles of garbage
Ah yes, the soulful innovation of shipping your game on multiple discs. The devs these days couldn't even dream about being this filled with innovation and soul.

Meanwhile you jerk off your iFone to unlock more gender options LMAO
It had its charm, it felt as if you had finished the chapter of a book. In the case of FF7 these screens were randomized and included pictures of all the main characters.
I dont like how they completely changed to tone by putting Sephiroth everywhere, even in the intro.
Also, the time jannies.
It should've been a straight up remake, like the PS3 tech demo.
>It should've been a straight up remake
The original game already exists
FF7R is genius because the opportunity cost of a remake is a new game, and the marginal utility of remaking a game that's already good is minimal
I knew they'd never do it, japs like to try and subvert their audience, if you don't predict the twist then it was good and smart. It's like later Agatha Christy stories, she would choose the killer at random to mess with the reader because she was tired of people figuring out the mystery too soon.
There was an npc who states "One of the stairs is colored differently. You can get in that way."
In the new version, they changed this line to "One of the stairs is pigmented differently. You can get in that way."
In this case, the word "colored" was viewed as a pejorative and censored despite the context having nothing to do with the phrase "colored people". It's a change so comically hyper-sensitive that the usual crowd calling for this sort of censorship probably thinks it went too far.

Did they consider just not putting a disclaimer every time you boot up the game and nobody would notice or care?

By their own strange logic, I'd say pigmented is even more offensive because pigmentation is what determines skin tolor. I don't know why they didn't go with "painted" or anything else instead.

The changes are very nonsensical.
Some are to avoid being sued, like renaming items named Colt or Red Bull, fine.
Others are just names of things that was a bad translation from the original, also fine.
But then there is that color/pigment thing you mentioned. Nobody in their wildest dreams would see the word "color" and think OMG RACIST! Not even the Tumblr crowd is that stupid.
And others just make no fricking sense! The "Atomic Power Plant" was just renamed to "Power Plant", you would think they would have an issue with the word "Atomic"... yet, there was a bomb renamed TO Atomic Bomb.
It feels like a group of people all with different ideas of what should be changed were each given a turn for 5 minutes to change what they wanted rather than anything even the least bit planned or coordinated.

I'm reminded how the CTR remake is basically spot on in every way but decided to change it so Oxide in the intro doesn't say the people of earth will be his "slaves" when he wins, but instead his "minions". It kind of changes the whole meaning because those two words are not synonyms.
Would they have needed to spread the game across so many discs if they didn't bloat the game with terrible FMVs? The promise of the benefits of CDs seemed unfulfilled when it really just led to disc swapping, annoying load times, and failing lasers.
FMVs are pretty much the only thing on the different discs, like 99% of the game is on all of them.
I don't mind disc swapping though, at least how it was implemented in FF7. You do it twice in the course of the whole game, it's nothing. If you had to do it each time you visited or returned to a different continent, maybe it would be annoying.
It's kind of weird but I do miss this to some extent, changing discs and knowing you're about to put the next one in, knowing it's full of content and there's one more after it imparted a strong feeling of length like there was so much more to do.
>The "Evangelion layout" is white text on a black background in differing directions
That is correct and it's an iconic layout that has been parodied and copied a number of times, including modern memes. > and those images you posted are not real cards.
What ae you trying to prove? They're based on the real physical cards from 1996.
>your little brother destroyed disc 2
It's not necessarily their fault, but some of them do experience this either way.

Maybe if we all clap our hands, it will bring him back to life?
Yeah that terrifying feeling of something might go wrong was such a great thing wasn't it.
Nobody thought this.

I am a Halo zoomer who played FF7 on real hardware in 2012 ama
>Multiple discs
>only in retro games
Are you sure?
We'll see how long that's considered retro.
This game is older now than FFVII was when FFXIII was released
That's a limitation, not a feature. Nothing beats just creating a playlist of the discs in an emulator to avoid this crap.
>That's a limitation, not a feature
I mean, /vr/ does love it's limitations
a man's gotta know his limitations

There's nothing stopping developers from just segmenting their stories into chapters without disc swapping, you know. FFT does it.
B-b-but anon this is soulful. You zoomers have no taste for any good.
Boomers waited seconds to change discs. Zoomers have to wait years to insert disc 2 (remake)
They chose that image to maximally play on your emotions, and having to physically walk up to the console and change the disk just cements the moment.
I think they do because 360 games also had disc-swapping messages
Got to experience this with tales of symphonia and I was born in 2002, get bent gay lmao
im more of an insert diisk 3 head myself
>create 4 virtual disc drives and mount all the isos
>never have to deal with it
They'll know a similar feel.
that already exists in the ff7 remake
>ff7 remake
I'll wait until the entire thing is released then pirate the complete edition with mods to remove the "changing social norms" stuff
I dont like how they completely changed to tone by putting Sephiroth everywhere, even in the intro.
Also, the time jannies.

That tech demo gave me so much false hope

>to remove the "changing social norms" stuff
like clothes?
>be a westerner
>complain about western imperialism
>actively seek asian brainwashing
Why?
when they do it, it's about being on the "right side of history", they view it as fighting evil rather than taming savages
Nevermind, I forgot about israelites being behind all of it. Tap water really messes with my head.
Is the word "color" not being offensive asian brainwashing?
What exactly was "problematic" about FFL?
There was an npc who states "One of the stairs is colored differently. You can get in that way."
In the new version, they changed this line to "One of the stairs is pigmented differently. You can get in that way."
In this case, the word "colored" was viewed as a pejorative and censored despite the context having nothing to do with the phrase "colored people". It's a change so comically hyper-sensitive that the usual crowd calling for this sort of censorship probably thinks it went too far.

PS2 is a zoomer console
These screens always remind me of ThorHighHeels, lol, he is the supreme admirer of Squaresoft aesthetics.
I hate gen z too but I’m also so glad gen x wasn’t this obnoxious and gatekeepy to us when they turned 30

The feeling of what?
Having the game stop until you swap to the next disc
>1st disc is 70% of the game
>2nd disc is the remaining game
>3rd disc is one dungeon
But why.
Because the ending is a long FMV
>expands your game into two discs while having 0 relevance in the game
nothing personal, tovarisch
It's kind of weird but I do miss this to some extent, changing discs and knowing you're about to put the next one in, knowing it's full of content and there's one more after it imparted a strong feeling of length like there was so much more to do.
>that visual layout
As some anon said in some other thread, the Eva influence post-1995 in japanese media is palpable.
more like “impact” haha
Your image comes from something that came out after FF7.
Based on trading cards that have been using the Evangelion layout that started back in 1995.
The "Evangelion layout" is white text on a black background in differing directions, and those images you posted are not real cards.
>The "Evangelion layout" is white text on a black background in differing directions
That is correct and it's an iconic layout that has been parodied and copied a number of times, including modern memes.
> and those images you posted are not real cards.
What ae you trying to prove? They're based on the real physical cards from 1996.
gen x were stealing boomer book designs
I don't think Evangelion's design is that original, but I'm not sure it's actually from that book.
>Zoomers will never know this feeling
Good for them. Disc swapping is ass.
