Anyway, I don't mind that Square is taking this remake trilogy in new directions. I don't mind that the multiverse plot is complicated, abstract, and upsetting to some fans. I don't really mind how confusing it is, and I honestly *barely* care if I wind up understanding it at all. Instead, I mainly want to see that the characters (and the love that fans hold for said characters) are treated with care, and that the remakes pack the same emotional heft of the original. That's one of the things Remake did so well in 2020, and what Rebirth was crushing in 2024... until Chapter 14. By leaning so hard on the multi-verse and multiple versions of every character, and by robbing us of the gutpunch that is masamune impalement, Square siphoned every bit of emotion out of one of gaming's most iconic scenes. An off-screen "kinda-death," a dozen boss phases, and several ending cutscenes later... and the only two emotions I felt were confusion and disappointment. They really could not have fucked that up any worse. --- Burnin, Blazin ... Copied to Clipboard! |
