Anybody try this? Not sure if I want to go through the bother of getting it to run.

Wow - fascinating window into a subculture I'm glad I don't hang around. The comments section on this article alone reveals all kinds of really distorted priorities and concerns.

rank the ffvii minigames best to worst:
--golden saucer shooting--snowboarding--motorbike with no control over speed but you have a sword--tower defense egg thing
hm, i feel like there's a couple i've missed
xp oh have they released details about how thats gonna work?

submarines. i kinda like the feel of the submarines.

Submarine game was incredible too. Way better than it needed to be
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 6 December 2015 04:34 (eight years ago) link
i'm sort of excluding anything that takes place with the standard set of interaction5s in the game's normal engine. lol that i forgot about chocobo racing though. I GUESS i would rank them worst-to-best
6. chocobo racing (one boring track, having to do it over and over, breeding just not v fun)5. tower defense (fiddly and anti-fun, and one of the places the game's standard look really works against it. and the difficulty level didn't scale very interestingly.)4. motorbike and swords (defending your convoy doesn't actually matter, impossible to lose really, wish you could accelerate. sort of feels nice though, you could start from here and end up with a sort of ok endless runner)3. snowboarding (physics feel janky but man it's so 1997 it's amazing)2. golden saucer light gun without light gun game (it's a nicely put together course, if only you actually had a gun)1. submarine (no challenge but weirdly atmospheric (i just like submarines a lot), i like how it feels kind of like a fighter place sim underwater)

Remember all of those awesome spell cutscenes that lasted for five minutes that were amazing the first time you used them but quickly became so outrageously annoying that you never used the high-end spells more than three times?Also, Cait Sith! WTF?

when i was a kid i would go nuts for those summon cutscenes every single time, so screw you 2006 dan perry
― qualx, Sunday, 6 December 2015 06:56 (eight years ago) link
Summon cutscenes were the best. I will be very surprised if they can top them. Bahamas in particular.
So I guess it will now be multiple games, and people are freaking out, playing the outraged consumer, etc personaly I think its fine and cant wait to see what they do. There is a lot of concern the world map will be cut. Thing is for a good half of the original game you could really only go one or two places at a time. People upset they wont be able to walk to Kalm when in reality isn't it just a big field from Midgar?
Then again that sense of scale once you left Midgar was a HUGE moment in the original so hopefully they can still nail that.

Remake is going to be episodic supposedly so they can release it quicker

Man fuck this episodic bullshit. If it means that open-world exploration is severely curtailed at best then... I don't know.
Stupid of me to get excited about a video game dammit.

mini games are dangerous. I remember just losing all interest in the story in FFVIII and just playing triple triad constantly, only playing the story to provide new games of triple triad
― COVID and the Gang (jim in vancouver), Friday, 3 April 2020 17:55 (four years ago) link
i'd be cool with them expanding the FF7 maybe HALF as much as they seem to have done, and then cranking out the games twice as fast.
that's how it works, right?
but seriously, i have no interest in playing a 250 hour full re-make of FF7, anyway, especially if that takes 8 years to put out. if it was around 125 hours, maybe, and over 4 years? that's way more in my range

The early hours of this are more like Yakuza than I expected, i.e you walk around a vivid urban sandbox having chats and doing sidequests and uh also there is an awful deranged Goro Majima expy who loves fighting you

I'm seven hours in and approximately 40 minutes into the plot of the original game
Looks great, spend a lot of time just looking at stuff and soaking up the vibe, it's kind of bittersweet idk
The combat mechanics work for me, clattering people with Tifa doesn't seem like it'll get old and there's plenty of stuff for you to do in combat with each character right from the start
A lot of the hardcore fans seem excited that Biggs, Wedge and Jessie have (extremely) expanded roles, but a lot of the interactions with Jessie are just kind of distractingly uncanny gibberish. Britt Baron is a bit more natural as Tifa
There are at least two Skyrim guys in this game whose voices I'm extremely sick of

it took me a few minutes to place the voice actor who plays Wedge: it’s Matt Jones, who played Badger on Breaking Bad. And the character is kind of like an optimistic, less-stoned Badger

jim i swear every year someone does it on iOS with the serial numbers filed off -- e.g. here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/elementimals/id452197048 -- but i don't know if there's any recent versions still working on modern iOS iterations

i am not sure if this game is "good" but it's fun and very strange and very much interested in its own remake-ness.
