Can i make a prediction with everyone? Im guessing we are going to get about 5 games to tell a story 1 game told 24 years ago. Right now the tally is up to 2 games. Time will tell.

This type of post again? yawn

*rubs eyes*

What year is it?

Hey man if they’re equally as long, content-rich, and feel like a “complete” game I don’t see what’s wrong with that. I’d rather have an insanely long game that spans 5 discs rather than a rushed single disc story that would omit content.

andy851087d ago

As a fan of the series I'll say there's nothing wrong with that. In my opinion it wouldn't have been possible to release this as one 100GB game. It's easy to make locations when it's 1997 graphics and you're walking through each area with a top down view for 15 seconds. But when you're at ground level camera every single area would have to be fully mapped out and immensely detailed. Imagine just the Midgar areas like that, now imagine every screen in the game like that. It would be 500 GB and we probably wouldn't get a world map with the PS4 limitations, plus the fact designing all those areas would take many years.

Eh. I hope not. Five games, so we'll finish it when? 2030? Yeesh.

SDuck1087d ago

Just reminding that 1 game was already 3-4 discs long 24 years ago so it did had the content of 4 games. Only difference here is that you have to wait for disc 2 because development is not as fast as it was before

I hope trophies automatically unlock once the saves are transferred.

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

MeteorPanda19d 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?

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.

MrNinosan46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

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

ravens5245d 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.

VIK212145d ago (Edited 45d 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

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

ravens5245d ago

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

ravens5245d 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.

Barlos46d ago (Edited 46d 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.

Tapani45d ago

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

Rebel_Scum46d ago

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

I_am_Batman46d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim46d 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_Scum46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

I disagree Batman
