OG holds the heck up. Played through the entire thing with the kid last year, and he's been bothering me asking for another full playthrough ever since =P . It's excellently paced, narratively interesting and digestible with some great twists, has a Star Trek TNG quality cast of characters, the best video game OST ever made, and it's quite fun to play even if you're lukewarm on JRPGs in general.Unless you really want to keep yourself away from any spoilers, warming up with OG isn’t a bad idea at all.
The only thing holding it back is the wonky translation. Apparently there's a PC mod which greatly cleans it up though.
Then they will not get my money.If it is on Switch 2 I think it'll be like 32GB on a cart and the other 75GB or whatever you have to download. Think people are just gonna have to get used to that kind of a setup. Devs are not even going to both trying to fit games onto the cartridge especially for monster games.
Guess they’re gonna sell these at $300-500 in eBayBest Buy's preorder bonus steelbook for this is pretty fantastic:
It's not a SE thing, it's the same for all japanese game companies and especially during TGS. They all have a very different way of promoting their games compared to Nintendo, with lots of livestreams and interviews.Shows that SE really are desperate to gain as many preorders as possible for their AAA games.
Square Enix really have a different PR strategy compared to Nintendo, compare the amount of info they give about their games before release vs what Nintendo usually does. Shows that SE really are desperate to gain as many preorders as possible for their AAA games.
I. can't. wait.
Literally my first thought. Make a new game like this, new characters and setting but keep the combat and general tone. That'd be like the perfect direction for Final Fantasy to go in.Holy moly at the new TGS reveals. Please let this be the new template for the next mainline Final Fantasy.
It reminds me of FFXV, although if I remember correctly, XV had a bit of lag when opening the menu, which does not seem to be present here. Perhaps it's a flex of the more advanced technology. I do think it looks a little odd, but I can see myself getting used to it very quickly.The free form exploration looks a bit janky at times; jumping around from rock to rock for instance. Clashes somewhat with the realistic visuals, I feel, but looks good otherwise.
I did like the menu style of Remake more, tho. When they open it up for the potion, it looks ... weird. A bit of a mess of blue, grey, black, and white. Minor complaints, admittedly.
Probably. Or they purposely limited the demo for the difficulty to feel right during the demoIt reminds me of FFXV, although if I remember correctly, XV had a bit of lag when opening the menu, which does not seem to be present here.

Speaking of the menus though, it shows everyone as level 21, while the Junon area demo people played had the party at level 22. I seriously doubt you'll only gain one level between Kalm and the Junon area, so I'm betting these are specifically set levels for the demos. Makes me wonder what level we'll actually start at.
Of course I could be wrong and the exp curve is much slower now.
nothing better happen to Zack
It installs more data onto the console.A thought came to my head id wanna know if someone has an idea. If games dont even run on the discs anymore, what does the second disc even do, a second download?
Does it really need a second disc to do that?It installs more data onto the console.
Yes, if the assets are large enough and you want all the data on the discs (as opposed to a mandatory download).Does it really need a second disc to do that?
I think the game makes you play one match to introduce it, and I believe there's a reward for beating everyone (which is less than ten people), but otherwise it's not required for the main story.I really really need to get around to playing the Yuffie DLC soon. I want to have a bit of a break between the DLC and Rebirth. It’s not very long, is it? HLTB has it at like five hours. Also, is the Fort Condor game required? Because that doesn’t look like much fun to me.
No. Fort Condor isn’t require. It’s okay but it’s just a mini game they introduce. I think they make you play it once for the game to continue. And then you can Choose to challenge others.I really really need to get around to playing the Yuffie DLC soon. I want to have a bit of a break between the DLC and Rebirth. It’s not very long, is it?

I didn't know Fort Condor was in Intergrade but I'm glad to know Square kept it true to its original form.I really really need to get around to playing the Yuffie DLC soon.

I thought the pacing of the levels was very good actually, and better than the main game.As for the game. It’s very short. I found it mediocre in the end actually. The writing was dumb too. But the voice acting was good. And looked nice visually. Same structure really of Remake. You just have to learn to use Yuffie’s weapons.
I really think it could, will probably come down to the story.This game will break the sub-90 Final Fantasy curse on Metacritic. I’m absolutely sure of it.
