Playing on normal mode. The combat feels pretty good.

Seems like theyre going a little overboard with Sephiroth foreshadowing. The original really just let you know that something weird was going on with Cloud, now the villain is constantly thrown in your face right from the start pretty much

I like that you can hear most npc conversations just by walking by them without having to select them

when I was fighting the shinra soldiers on the bridge one of them announced You are in trouble! which was fucking hilarious

well I played the original and about half of the demo

I saw a couple early trailers but nothing that really showed off more than the first reactor area. I also watched the gameplay vid they released months back that showed the sewer boss battle, but thats it

Mines still downloading. Not only is my slow ass internet taking forever, but my cousin keeps going out of his way to interrupt the download. He turned it off last night when he was told to leave it in sleep mode. So I set it up to download again this morning before work, got home to see that it hadn't downloaded any. He had turned it off again, but mom made him start it up again before I got home, so instead he set it download like a dozen other updates first. I'm not even gotta get the requisite 13 gb finished today...

He is mentally challenged, but a lot of it is just him being selfish/a brat. Oh well, it's not too bad to have to wait, I was just looking forward to this and it's just annoying for him to be doing this.

I wasnt huge on the Sephiroth stuff early on either and not a fan of the changes that they did make to the story but Im trying to keep an open mind to a reimagined version of ff7.

This game is gorgeous, Ill definitely give it that. The reactor explosion has a lot more gravity to it when you get to see the aftermath of what happened to the people in real time. Im not sure how I feel about how (spoilers for parts that are not in the original FF7) Shinra decides to add to the explosion to make it bigger in an attempt to make Avalanche look worse, but at least it is in line with their characters.

Biggs, Wedge, & Jesse feel a lot more personable in this version. I love how much of a flirt Jesse is. She in particular has a lot of personality so far.

Overall, this game is a lot of fun so far. Im really liking it.

Mead posted...

Its a valid complaint, but I feel like this game is for people who have played the original, and this story is pulling back the curtain to allow us to see more of what potentially could have been happening. So Im ok with it, but again, the complaint is absolutely warranted.

Bulbasaur posted...
he did it [Barret singing the victory fanfare] after the last fight at the first reactor and I just got a big giddy smile on my face

More specifically, I think he does it when he levels up. He only did it for me once, but it was at that time.

Ha, were basically at the same spot. I went to bed last night after Cloud met his neighbor on the other side.

I don't know? I might fall under that because I didn't want to get it because it didn't feel like a whole game since it's only a small part, but now that it's actually out and I got a extra thousand dollars I kind of want to.

Currently at Mako Reactor 5 (for spoiler purposes, so keep that in mind if you choose to click the black boxes). Got interrupted by real life yesterday and have not played since then. Enjoying the game, but I am of two minds about the new content. On the one hand, there is a whole chapter devoted to Jessie and her family, and I thought that was excellent. On the other hand, everything involving Sephiroth and the "ghosts" makes it clear that this is not a remake, but a 2009 Star Trek-style alternate universe. And Roche is a dumbass. Very easy to tell which parts belong to the original canon, which parts have been added, and which parts have been added by Nomura in particular (i.e. the parts that suck).

I'm about 25 hours in, nearing the end-ish. Just doing a bunch of side quests.

I've been really enjoying it. My biggest complaint is that the AI is effing awful. Characters are completely useless if you aren't controlling them. Given just how bad they are, I'm thinking they used to be better, but got toned down in favour of making battles a bit more difficult without making them damage sponges. But each character has been fun to control in their own right, so that makes up for it a bit.

I liked the idea of actually having people from SOLDIER in the game. Always seemed odd to me that despite being their elite fighting force with multiple, you only ever really encounter nameless mooks in the original... And even that was not exactly common.

But then we got Roche. Not exactly what I was hoping for.
