Current Events > I've started playing FF7 Remake

(+) Yeah! (+)

Why didn't they just copy this combat for 16? This is so much better

Yeah, I liked FF16, but the FF7 Remakes are the perfect mix of strategic ATB and real-time combat.

This. If only 16 had party members, but FF should always have spells and some strategy behind.

They tried to go full action in 16, which I liked. But it lacked the depth it needed be truly great.

I can only parrot what everyone has said. FF7's combat is so much better.

It also would have solved one of the biggest issues in the game if there were more weapons and accessories to use as rewards for side quests

I wonder what the Final Fantasy 16 Remake will be like in like 30 years

They were like "here's DMC combat" but literally only gave you one weapon. Gauntlets, Polearms, Daggers...Or he could've had different classes - they made it work in Stranger of Paradise for god sake lol.

It was boring and no amount of using that dog was gonna make it much better

Also all there was to the game was combat and some talking to people. The crafting sucked. The exploration sucked. The story wasn't good enough pull it along

Idk why I even stayed with it and beat it

I much preferred 16s combat. FF7R felt like it wanted to be a character action game but doesnt fully commit to it.

I get it, but honestly the whole time I've been playing Rebirth I've just wished I was playing 16 instead.

I mean, I definitely didn't think it was boring, but mostly because I really like action games, and it has enough for me to keep me engaged. I haven't played a bunch, but so far, 16 has my favorite FF boss battles, and characters like Cid and Dion are definitely going to be memorable.

I do wish it had an actual party, though and like you said, though, the stuff like crafting is embarrassingly underdeveloped. I'll be going back for the DLC personally

Yeah. Eventually I just realised the game was on a loop of bad fetch quests and exposition > trash mobs and pretty mediocre combat > more fetch quests > maybe something cool actually happening with a style over substance boss fight.

Eventually I just got tired. I might jump back in eventually, but it really put me off
