Square Enix should have titled this game as "Phinal Phantasy VII Phantoms" instead as "Final Fantasy VII Remake"!
This game is neither a Remaster, Remake nor a Reboot, it's just a sequel to the original game, thus, "Final Fantasy VII-2"! The next part, if released, will eventually be "Final Fantasy VII-3" and so on ...!
Remaster = same story with graphics upscaled. (Example, FFVII for Nintendo switch is a remaster)
Remake = Same story with graphics remade from scratch. (Example, Resident Evil 1 for GameCube, Ps4, etc)
Reboot = Different story and characters design totally changed. (Example DMC:Devil May Cry)
Since this game is just about a story that happens after the events of the original game, none of the mentioned options above are valid for this game!
"Final Fantasy VII Refund" is an alternative title since original fans of the game will certainly ask for refund because Square Enix is deceivingly selling the game as it being a "Remake"! (I don't know if enraged fans should either return the game and ask for refund or if they should upload videos to YouTube showing them smashing their physical copies of the game!)
Basically, this is not even a Final Fantasy game, this is a Kingdom Hearts game! If Square Enix had titled this game as "Final Fantasy VII Kingdom Hearts", I wouldn't even be here rating this game because I simply don't like and don't play Kingdom Hearts games! But since it is being marketed as the remake of the original Final Fantasy VII, and Square Enix is really insulting the original fans of the game by doing so, it is absolutely obvious that this game deserves a 0 rating score!
"Zelda: Breath of the Wild" world map is estimated to be 60% bigger than "Skyrim" world map, and Nintendo did a spectacular game for Nintendo Switch! Yet, look at what Square Enix is delivering for PS4 after 5+ years of development, an unfinished remake which is only 1/7 part of the original game that covers only the Midgar city part! (This is unbelievable!)
Square Enix is really not confident about this remake, so they just desperately decided to add Ifrit, Shiva and the original FFVII Ending scenes in the part 1 of the remake in case the part 1 fails to sell and the whole remake project gets stuck in part 1!
The hate for this remake is already so Big that people will eventually start hating the original Final Fantasy VII game they once used to love!

The spectacular Red XIII side mission mentioned by the game developers! (Not so spectacular at all!)
The level of treachery and arrogance needed to rework the story in the manner they have done is beyond belief.
ReplyDeleteIm saying things about the remake that I would normally NEVER say about FF7, and they are bad things. Sure, there are good things, but honestly, im torn and tired between all the good and the bad. If this is all Square Enix can come up with after 5 years and with a coronavirus epidemic going on the project needs to roll over and die. This is an embarrassing swan song for the developers.
ReplyDeleteShitty remake. it's time people realize the Final Fantasy series truly is the bottom barrel of the JRPG genre.
