I Really Hope Square Enix Is Trolling Us

GeekParty's Tim Evans: "To many, including yours truly, this weekend’s reveal was so disenchanting and lackluster that it felt like a black hole of excitement, taking any positive feelings that I may have had left for Square Enix and extracting them."

The Dream stays alive.

On a side note, we all need to relax a bit over this, was it Square Trolling? Yes in a sense.

But maybe if this does well enough, they will see sufficient consumer demand to make a PS4 remake.

And really is letting the next generation of PlayStation gamers play this really that bad of a a thing?

There is no way that you believe this. Do you know how many times FF7 has been released and rereleased? No amount of "if this does well" will get them to do a remake - not until they find themselves in a financial position where it is their only option.

Muzikguy3468d ago

The dream may still be alive, but SE keeps burying it more and more. With all the released versions so far on multiple platforms there's no way this one port will tell them to remake the game for PS4. Look how many times they've released all their popular games of the past. It's just easy money for them now. They really are trolling us. I totally despise what this company has become! From SNES to PS1 they were my favorite.... It's a shame really

InTheZoneAC3468d ago (Edited 3468d ago )

how many sales does SE need to justify a remake or remaster?

they've released it on ps1, psn, pc, phone and soon to be ps4. These guys are pulling a Nintendo in terms of releasing what gamers want from them.

All these years wasted that they could've spent slowly putting this game together.

I'm glad KH2.5 came out and KH3 is coming, but I would like a FFXII or XII HD remaster on ps3 or ps4...

yeah it was definitely the way it was announced I don't know how my mind was able to be so happy and so sad at the exact same time and me not die

No mention of fixing the audio issues the dialogue audio is too low this has been reported many times on social media the volume has to be turned up and music has to be lowered to hear the characters properly :(

Babadook72d ago

I have a question as someone who is considering buying the game soon. Is this a fixable issue? Can you just lower the volume for music and sound effects and keep dialog at default?

shadowT2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

yes, it is no issue at all. Just go into settings. Do you have already played the first Remake or the OG?

M3talDiamond2d ago

There are a few youtube videos and reddit tips with some tips on fixing the sound issues but sadly they didnt work for me

M3talDiamond2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

@Babadook7 There are a few videos on youtube with tips on how to fix the dialogue audio this but sadly they didnt work for me. There is an option to lower the music and sfx and keep the dialogue audio at 10 but you have to keep the volume up high (well for my TV I do) but when you are in battles and cutscenes the audio is higher so you have to adjust the audio again.
@shadowT The audio issues doesnt affect everyone there are some people on reddit complaining about the audio and there are other people saying they dont have any issues at all. I think it depends on the TV I have a Samsung QLED 4K and FF7 Rebirth is the only game I have audio issues with.

Babadook72d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Thanks for the answers all.

@Shadow yeah I have the Remake and finished it and loved it (loved the OG also back in the day). My understanding is this is even better than Remake.

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda33d ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5259d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5259d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212159d ago (Edited 59d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

MrNinosan59d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5258d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5258d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani59d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum60d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman59d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim59d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum59d ago (Edited 59d ago )

I disagree Batman
