So to understand this game you need to watch advent children and read some short stories? Is that what I’m reading here?

I really wasn’t a fan of that approach with Kingsglaive even though it wasn’t a bad movie. A friend of mine picked up FF15 and was confused on what was going on. He had no idea about kingsglaive even existing.
No. It's nothing like that.

There's a mystery to the plot in regards to how much Sephritoh/Aerith know about the original game and we are speculating about it.

Could just be visions of the future/fate/prophecy or could be an alternate timeline/time loop. We don't know.

It's a perfectly understandable mystery plot and additional material isn't really adding much.

I don't know if that's totally true, I think it gives tidbits out for those that really are paying attention to theories and deep diving having watched/read additional material. Before Crisis and Advent Children seem to figure into this stuff. The idea that the 3 Whisper you fight at the end are Kadaj, Loz, and Yazoo is pretty well supported by the evidence. But I agree they leave a whole lot up in the air to have some mystery to the whole thing, there's just some solid evidence if you really deep dive. Whether or not that's all just stuff people are making fit or they actually planned all that shit out is another question. If they actually planned it all, pretty impressive to craft a story that gives enough for a mysterious end to part 1 for everyone but with some extra juicy tidbits for those with the knowledge.

Sorry but this guy sucks and is a sham anyway. He just writes reviews on what the general gaming public thinks weeks after a launch. (And this was about the most unfunniest thing I have seen... I mean, brutal unfunny. But, I am glad your wife liked it at least.) I showed it to my wife and she said, "This guy makes a living doing this? You're 500x more funny in listening to you from up 2 flights up lighting up some really bad player in that remote controlled car soccer thing you play".

It's funny we agree on that guy, just doesn't seem like a real review in the slightest.

I think I agree.

I watched him a little bit live-streaming this game on twitch with his buddies. I found that they constantly missed and talked over stuff in the game. Honestly it’s his game time with his friend so I get that he’s going to play it how he wants.

But I just can’t take his review of this game seriously.

He didn't mention the textures on Cloud's bedsit door and the corrugated metal walls of some of the Sector 5 shanties, that's at least 15 minutes of content. Instead he wasted time talking about the stunning animations you see in every battle.

Dunkey has a good review:

I don’t care if he likes the game or not. But every review he does panders to what is popular and basically restates majority opinion on the web. I guarantee you if community opinion was poor, this ass hat would still not be funny, wearing a stupid mask to signify publisher greed, and yell “ya don fucked it up“. It’s easy to see right through this idiots schtick.

The game he is reviewing is irrelevant.

And yeah, pretty hard to even start watching a review when the guy straight up sham wows his entire audience with some brand of energy drink for two minutes. That was so so so bad. It was a missed opportunity with a butterfinger/square Enix joke though.

Dunkey's review sounded like a 14 year old trying to sound cool hating on the game, just as bad as the other guy but in the opposite way. Any review that says the characters/VA doesn't feel real I just have to roll my eyes at, because if there's one thing the game gets right other than the music is the characters and how they interact.

Also I didn't want to shit on Ut but it amuses me to no end when I'm in Hojo's lab looking around thinking about people freaking out over some random door texture.

He actually did mention that there are a few texture issues in his review. But I knew that it wasn’t a real review the minute he didn’t even know the name of one of the characters (Briggs vs Biggs). And there was a lot of megacringe for one video

That was me. I didn't even know about the movie until I beat the game. Which was fucking retarded as everyone you saw in that clip after the first chapter fucking died in the movie and the game never mentions it.

I sort of always assumed that would be the case even before part 1 even came out, the locations and general progression will be the same as the original even if the overall story was changed/tweaked.

I finally finished FF7-R, it took me a tad under 60 hours (!) just doing a normal playthrough with all side content, kinda feels bad since I read average playthroughs are in the 40 hour range but I'm just a slow tard who likes staring at shit all the time.

Visuals were fantastic, obviously some texture stuff you sorta notice but faces and most locations were gorgeous. I'm mixed on the combat, it was interesting and cool and complex enough to feel neat but at certain times I felt super frustrated and just at the mercy of RNG, I'm gonna try hard mode eventually but not sure I will enjoy it.

Super glad I played the game, the story seems a lot simpler than what I vaguely remember but I honestly don't remember much. I didn't understand really anything happening in the final chapter. I might replay the game on the switch (the original ported) just to see the story. Definitely glad I picked this up and played though.

Absolutely loved every character including autistic Cloud, in this day and age where every character must be strong, independent, fierce, powerful, ,not need a man/woman, be sexually amibigious, etc it was nice playing a story where people felt and acted normal.

Shower thought.. Aerith smashes people with a chair.. Sephiroth is an international fighter.. and we venture into his domain and effectively destroy his announcer table.
