I saw I got an email about FFVII Remake earlier today and got excited.

It was an email from Gamefly telling me their copies were delayed. I'm not currently subscribed to Gamefly.

Cleared the first few chapters.

It's doing a lot differently enough where at times it no longer feels like a remake, but more like it's own thing.

The more you progress the more the story beat changes feel unnecessary.

When it follows specific moments from the original it's awesome.

When it goes off on its own bit, less so.

Yeah but the ghost spirit stuff from the trailers is really no good!

So far, the maps give off XIII-2 but with XV level visuals.
There's also a lot more padding than I expected. Like I expected new storylines and sidequests to take fill a decent amount of time, but even the simple stuff from the original has been padded up beyond expectation.

It just feels right now that they've overcomplicated a simple solution. But I've now been steered back on course towards stuff from the original and it's cool again.

While some of the additions are really neat, some are like why is this here?

Maybe new fans will like it more, cos I think for fans of the original, you know every upcoming story beat and get a little frustrated by the roadblocks they put between the cool old game moments.

The spirit of "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII" lives on in the remake, it seems!

I mean... it's stretching out Midgar to a full game, what did you expect?

Still doesn't sound that promising, damn. I'll still be there day one though!

I think you could have stretched Midgar out to a 20 hour game and I'd have been ok with it.

Stretching it to a 35 hour game? Maybe wasn't needed.

The things I've already read, and now reading what voltch is saying, is concerning me greatly. There's one main thing I've heard, and I'm waiting to see someone here who's played it, get to it and tell me that everything will still be okay.

Though my dumbass is still very likely to buy it anyway.

Should have just made open world mIdgar with very little story. MGSV this up. I'll take woefully underdeveloped story than this.

100 hour game with like 10 dedicated to the original ffvii missions.

Good. They needed to flesh out Midgar more. It was the worst part of the game.

In a way they're not fleshing Midgar out the way you would hope.

A lot of the old dungeons became XIII style corridors and a loop that repeats a few times with a puzzle or two thrown in.

Turns 20min sections into 45min+cutscenes.

A true one at that.

Midgar was so boring. When I replay the game I fucking rush through that shit as quick as possible.

One good thing is all characters really feel different when you play as them.

VII often felt like everyone was interchangeable aside from their limit breaks.

Hey Voltch, out of curiousity, have they explained who this girl is yet? She shows up early on and I have a theory about her, but she might also just be a quest giver that I haven't encountered properly yet.
