Yeah, this entire tutorial room is fucked up. Fortunately, I don't think it affects all players. Watching two of my friends play FF7 when it was rereleased on PS4, they both missed this entire building.

I dont know ask the director of the game.
There is japan town, desert area, ice area, forest area, temple area and the final dungeon is an ugly ass crater.

I wish the whole game took place in midgar, but we gotta check those jrpg boxes, we need a world map and a car that you use for 10 minutes then never again!
The amusement park was good but it could have easily been inserted into Midgar too

>>

No I agree I just see a lot of people saying the opposite. Midgar is the coolest in terms of art direction all the cyberpunk shit is just thrown at the window so quickly just to make sure not to scare off any FF fans.
>>

>>388673303

Eat a dick. Golden Saucer was the best part of the game. I only hope they go fucking bananas with it in the remake. So much improvement could be done to it without affecting the rest of the game at all.
>>
>>388674012
Don't worry if you're lucky it might get a whole episode of the remake dedicated to it.
>>
>>388673303
I agree 100%. Midgar was a cool setting, Shinra felt like a menacing threat, they were building up a really nice atmosphere with how oppressive and dystopian everything was. Then it all ended and we were right back in Generic RPG Village in a generic grassy field trying to stop an evil wizard from taking over the world. Maybe if the whole game had taken place in Midgar, it might actually deserve some of the praise that it gets.
>>
>>388673110
There's even a second one in Junon.

Each minigame will be a separate paid DLC though. Make sure you get the season pass. :^)

I know, we could have gotten such a cool story that really focused on the fact that your party members were LITERAL terrorists, dealing with both the citizens who are thankful that you're fighting Shinra and also with the ones who hate you for the collateral damage you cause. Oh well, we can always dream...

>What?! Finger??!

I was wrong it was not a reactor but a tower or something, its been a while
But just look at this and try to tell me that the rest of the game is anything like this at all.
This is the peak of the game, it peaks before it has time to barely begin

No one knew who the Avalanche was and there's plenty of dialogue with NPCs saying good and bad shit about them.
They basically stopped being Avalanche when Sector 7 dropped down and after that it was a ragtag of misfits that wanted revenge.

What's a bigger drop off: FF7 after Midgar, or FF8 after disc 1?
>>
>>388676662
The entire FFXIII trilogy

FF8 has that giant ice cream monolith and the futuristic city.

FF8 drops when you go look for the blue seeds in their faggy boat though

Why was it the best part of the game?

>>388673303
I tried to play FF7 again and a lot of areas are a chore, yeah. I think Midgar was really good but rest of the game was fine
>>
>>388676491
False...
>>
>>388674996
It was a pillar holding up the plates above the slums, pillar gets sploded and the plate falls and crushes everyone in those slums, one of my favorite parts of the game and it ends so early
>>
>>388672545
Does this game ever stop being boring as fuck? Just got to Red XIII's hometown.
>>
>>388676662
For me, it's definitely FF7 after Midgar. Even people who don't really like FF7 will probably disagree with me, but whatever. I just went along for FF8's wild ride, basically treating it like a parody of JRPGs rather than a legitimate game in its own right, and I had a great time with all the goofy shit that happened after disc 1. But I can see how if someone was really invested in FF8's characters and setting in disc 1 that they would be more disappointed in FF8's drop off.
>>
>>388677021
No, it doesn't. If you're not into it by that point then you probably won't be missing anything if you just drop it. I forced myself to play through disc 1 three times, finally beating the game on my third try, trying to force myself to like this game because of the incredible hype around it, and I finally concluded that I just don't really like it. It's just not for me. It's fine, not everyone is going to like every game.

IX has been my favorite FF since I played it for the first time in 2004. Glad to see that more and more people are coming around.

Except for the shitty card minigame and trance system.
And the final boss.

IX is great and it really closed the circle plus they should have just stopped after that. I remember waiting for ps2 final fantasys thinking they would be great but nope, they fuckked them all up.

Huh, you didn't like X? X is my second favorite after IX, and it's the last great FF game imo.

>>388683624
They introduce interesting mechanics that are then never expanded upon or revisited like that one boss that only barret can attack because its too far away or the triangles that encapsulate a party member and you had to attack to disable.

FF also has all these status effects like frog that amount to nothing.
Why do I need an item for every single one of these status effects if I can just cast esuna instead
>>
>>388673886
Not since 9. There is no overworld in any FF game from 10 on.

Neither, FFVII and FFVIII are pretty consistent in quality.

FFIX after the first disc is the biggest drop in quality in the series. And FFIX wasn't even good in the first place, it just goes from tolerable to fucking trash-tier.

No he wasn't. He didn't become "emo" until Advent Children. He was depressed during his internal identity crisis because it's revealed he wasn't who he said he was, but he got over that as soon as he came out of the comatose state.

But then, AC came around and 100% of all his other cameos, where Square-Enix decided Cloud needed to blame himself for everything bad ever and have massive guilt for no fucking reason whatsoever anymore despite saving the entire planet and having friends who trust in his leadership and power.

Him having 90s hair in the 90s was fine. He doesn't have 90s hair in the ...teens? Whatever it is now: he has faggot hair. He has hair that's something like 11 inches long, is wispy like a cloud and he seems like Meg Ryan in her rom-com films. It's bullshit. Nomura knows what he's supposed to look like. But not for this, it seems.

Cosmo Canyon is great because it's such a contrast to Midgar, but it would have worked better if most of the world was high-tech like Midgar (or at least approaching it at some level like Junon) was instead of first thing after you leave it stumbling right into Kalm, a generic final fantasy village that wouldn't have looked out of place in a game like FF9.

I just had an idea about this. I wonder if it is sort of like stockholm syndrome.

Then when it becomes a popular opinion everyone will assume you're being a "hater" when you hate bad things.

FFVIII punishes you for leveling up which is lame, the junction system is pretty bad, and besides Squall, Rinoa, and Laguna the cast is so underdeveloped they almost feel tacked on.

FFIX had a huge quality drop after disc 1. The villain is shit, most of the characters are underdeveloped, and trance sucks. The music, and character designs are great though.

XII is just bad. Atleast Fran is cute.

I disagree. The whole game is pretty solid. I agree that characters like Amarant and Freya are a bit underdeveloped. Quina doesn't need development.

>Zidane spends the entire game being selfless for his new friends, and in the end when he loses his shit his friends help him for the first time. He gave and it came back to him when he needed it most

I sort of agree. Hence why I said "a bit". I mean, she does get her shit resolved for the most part but it also feels like after Burmecia she has like....zero dialogue. She's just a quiet stoic character, sort of Auron except Auron had a lot of reasons to talk to Tidus.

>FFVIII punishes you for leveling up
No it doesn't. It simply scales your random enemy encounters' level to match. Doing so means higher-tier item drops, higher-tier Draw Magic and continued challenge no matter what location you are in. However, bosses remain at a fixed level, making them easier to defeat as well.

>the junction system is pretty bad
The junction system only applies to your stats IF you get summons (most people miss Questzacoatl at the beginning (or ever) and Siren (from a first Boss Draw). I say this only to mention that you can't "abuse" the junction system when you don't know what you're looking for or how to do it. Specifically, you can't abuse it without playing Cards, Drawing fucktons of magic, leveling up your GFs to get CardMod and MagRefine and whatnot...and only early on. It's otherwise quite coherent and applicable. Junction attacking magic to Atk? Better atk. Junctioning Fire to your StatAtk? You hit with fire attribute. Etc.

>cast is underdeveloped
Cast is bullshit. Cast it a mercenary, who's job it is to kill sorceresses, gets a job to kill a sorceress and fails. Then, it turns out everyone is related, including a dad who's the ruler of a society that's 1000 years more tech savvy which he "saved" by pushing a dyke into stasis like an oaf and they all said, "great now you've got so much charisma that you're the President who we don't listen to."

>XII

Yes because you have to do the most overpowered method to beat sephiroth. You're a fucking idiot. Just apply that to any game and call it shit.

>>388689486
Trance does suck, but it's better off sucking. Limit breaks are a fucking terrible mechanic. In FF7 you keep your characters furied and spam limit breaks. In FF8 you keep one character low on HP and spam limit breaks. In FF10 you have ways to fill up your limit bar super quickly so you can spam limit breaks. They ruin each game they're useful in.

First, the bosses are level scaled. Second, the increase isn't actually that sharp until you get inside the caves and start fighting Behemoths.
Also, Zanarkand and Yunalesca are way harder and they come immediately after.

Did you really think you were just going to stay in Midgar the entire game? Every FF game up to that point had you traveling the world. It would have been such a disappointment if you were stuck in one city the entire game, even if Midgar was a great setting which is certainly is.

Yeah this is one of VIII's biggest problems. Zell, Selphie, and Quistis are just literally not characters, they're just props that show up in battle. I've literally never played an RPG with flatter characters.

>FFIX had a huge quality drop after disc 1. The villain is shit, most of the characters are underdeveloped, and trance sucks.
Them's fightin' words. The journey to the Iifa Tree on disc 2 is the comfiest part of any video game ever.

Also, I'm not sure how you can think Kuja is shit compared to Sephiroth or any other FF villain. At least Kuja seems like he has genuine emotional motives for what he does. Also he blows up a planet, that's pretty cool.

Midgar is so memorable specifically because the rest of the world contrasts it so much. Being a generic dystopian hellhole in an otherwise fantasy world full of magic and ancient mystic bullshit is what elevates it from being another generic dystopian hellhole.

I'll agree that the Midgar section has better story pacing than the rest of the game but that's mostly because its so restrictive and linear. The games mechanics only opens up and becomes a proper RPG once you reach Kalm.

And my God, do I hate the PS1 Greatest Hits cover art. That horrible, horrible green. If they really wanted to call attention to the fact that those games were really popular, couldn't they have done it with something on the *outside* of the packaging that you can remove, instead of ruining the cover itself?

That lil pink horse in the mid left, they appear in the Crater, same room as the Movers and the gimme-elixir-pot-things. They are always with another anthropological monster and if you kill one of them before the other, the one that is still alive gets mad because you killed their partner.

It always made me uneasy as fuck fighting against them, and since I never ran from battles I needed to kill them every single time. It was uneasy as fuck and I can see myself going through the same if I play the game again.

I think there was a similar enemy tandem in FFIX, although I might be mixing games here.

>>388696963
it's based directly off of the PC version Eidos made, as in basically a straight port with the remake trailer added in
Eidos were gonna do a re-translation, but only went part way on it, and they were even going to full-size the character models but opted not to; traces used to exist of it from when Cloud and Jessie look at the railway map, where Jessie had a more detailed upper body model made for it, though later releases of the PC version patched this out

Have some copypasta:

Doesn't really begin to explain why he's awesome.

You see, your party in FF5 are not the original heroes, you're the guys sent in AFTER those guys couldn't stop him.
At let's not disrespect those original guys, they literally moved heaven and earth to try and put a stop to him. You see, for a start Exdeath can't die, the first heroes reduced him to splinters but he just kept coming back. Then when they realised this they sealed him up instead - in not one, not two, not three, but ALL FOUR elemental crystals.
Then, just to be DOUBLY sure they SPLIT THE WORLD INTO TWO SEPERATE DIMENSIONS plus a secret third dimension containing the void force that would allow Exdeath the ability to kill everything everywhere forever.

Normally when that sort of shit is pulled, the sealed evil stays sealed for around 100+ years, usually a thousand or so.
EXDEATH WAS OUT AND ABOUT IN LESS THAN FIFTY.
He then proceeded to undo everything the original heroes did in about a month, all the while casually killing off those heroes, most of the time not even noticing their prescence.
They don't go easy either: the last one survives going down to -2000 hp and throws spells so gamebreakingly powerful we aren't allowed them in game at Exdeath in an attempt to kill him.
He literraly just shrugs it off, and wanders away as that last hero dies so hard not even life3 or phoenix down can revive him.

He then goes on to gain the power to destroy everything everywhere forever and only loses because he hasn't realised (like his predecsessor before him) that by gaining this power he can now die, and by the time he notices, he's already taken too much damage to kill of those second heroes his been pretty much ignoring the whole time.
>>
>>388699098

Midgar is great but you're right that it is pretty shit on subsequent playthroughs.

And people can like Midgar despite hating XIII's linearity. Midgar was obviously exaggerated but there was still a lot of thought put into how the city and world functioned, and there was a surprising amount of interactivity and side content despite how much you're railroaded. FF XIII is nonsensical biomechanical high fantasy shit and all of the good interesting lore is tucked away in background notes, and nothing outside of wandering monsters can be interacted with.

3. Some obscure spinoff i.e Tactics or Crystal Chronicles

They're still dumb, but they are basically attacked in a way that makes them feel safer to give it back to Cloud than to hang onto it. It's all a ruse naturally.

The gang's been fairly dumb throughout the game, especially given that they'd sooner hijack Shinra and fuck them over royally even when Rufus is relatively reasonable compared to his father (the whole rule with fear thing aside) than actually focus on what they need to do to save the world.

Well, he does have Almagest and he has two blocks and two counters, one of which will block/counter HP attacks, though.

It can be. If a character drastically acts out of character it is. There was no logical reason for them to give Cloud the materia other than later on it would further the plot. Hole or not, it's still just bad writing.

Yeah, it's pretty fucking brutal. But it makes sense that a series that attempts something new with every entry is going to alienate people. They should just accept that though.

I didn't really mind the level scaling in 8. Yes it gives the monsters stat boosts (not really that big of a deal honestly) but it also gives them better drops and better magic that in turn makes you way stronger.

People use LvL-up to raise enemy levels to get better stuff earlier. You can also use LVL-Down if it bothers you.

>>388703078

Tell that to the people who complain about Irvine not telling everyone about their past the second he joins you in FFVIII. Speaking about this why aren't we holding FFVII to same standards and start questioning why Tifa didn't immediately call Cloud out of his bullshit immediately after he told his version about the Nibelheim incident?
>>
>>388703464
I would argue she didn't want to fracture his already fragile mind. He was sitting twitching and drooling on himself unltil she found him. She's not even sure he's actually Cloud at first. She's also not sure how reliable her memories are due to her near death experience. It's a dumb decision but an understandable one.

As for Irvine, the whole story is about awkward teenagers. He thinks they all forgot about him and he doesn't want to seem uncool by bringing it up. People do that all the time in real life.
>>
>>388703464
Because she wanted to know the truth about why he wasn't there despite saying he was.
>>
>>388703464
>start questioning why Tifa didn't immediately call Cloud out of his bullshit immediately after he told his version about the Nibelheim incident?
The general excuse is that her near-death at getting cut down by Sephiroth and the excess stress in the situation made her wonder if she was recalling things incorrectly. She had an inkling but wasn't sure whether or not to act on it, and as the portion of the game with her as the leader shows, she's not exactly good at being an active person if she's not certain about it. Combine that with Cloud clearly having issues and throwing around things she couldn't personally confirm even to herself could've been problematic.

I think the rest of the game is great (especially Golden Saucer and the big fortress city stand out) but it really lost a lot of the cyberpunk appeal without Midgar.

If they're dead set on splitting the remake into episodes, Midgar should be massively expanded.

The difference is XV is entirely an overworld, with 1 city and a handful of dungeons.
>>
>>388703464
Tifa thought Cloud hadn't come back at all but he knew things there was no way for him to know, she likely wanted to figure that out first before raising a fuss about things that didn't actually matter that much.
>>
>>388702709
You're wrong

First, it wasn't the entire party doing some kind of vote to give Cloud the black materia, it was a single person. Either Barret or Red XIII depending on your decision. Second, Sephiroth tricks them into it with his illusions by approaching Barret/Red as Tifa and calling for help. The confusion from the illusions led to a lapse in judgement and them giving Cloud the black materia after he reassures them he'll "take it from here".
>>
>>388683114
This. I loved FFX, unlike most people, but one thing that is true is that it's enemies sucked. Everything is pretty much just a palette swap of an already existing enemy. FFVII had really unique enemies for every dungeon and/or region you were in.

Actually, I think he assumed they all remembered him but didn't want to talk about it/didn't want to be friendly with him because they'd all changed so much and had nothing in common with him anymore, or for some other reason. Your explanation works too, though.

>>388705290
I think he mentions during the basketball scene that he thought they all forgot him. I could be wrong though.

There's a lot of stuff. Some of it is nuance, some of it is referring to each other in the 3rd person some of it just renders a scene really weird.

FF7 was a notoriously bad translation. They did the whole thing in house. Then they translated 8 really literally. 9 they nailed though.

No they didn't. They replaced whole lines of Squall's dialogue with "..." and "whatever" they practically changed him into an entirely different character.

Interesting analysis. I think they're reaching a bit in a few cases, but I agree that changing several instances of "...Sorry" to "Whatever" definitely changes the tone.

I read an anlysis on that. Japanese has several words for sorry, and the one he's using is considered relatively impolite and like he just wants to be left alone.

The weirdest thing about leveling up in FFVIII is that, if I remember correctly, it doesn't directly give you any improvements. *Everything* is based on your Junctions, unless you have GFs learn abilities you can equip to give you certain stat increases upon leveling up.

I don't spend my time complaining about it and I'm always in favor of heavily interchangable characters, to be precise open option characters, such as making a white mage a physical power house with specific equipment, so I can use whomever I wish and not be restricted by developers' whim. Although being free to get all the classes for every character is also fine, but then I hope there are only as many characters as there are slots plus a few and not many.

Now I am one of those who praise VII's and hate VIII's and XII's customization systems. The reason is practice as I experience it. In VII I don't buy spare Materia, so a specific character has Bolt while another has Fire and so on, this makes them distinct enough. There are many actions I take in battle from summons to spells depending on the enemy groups. In VIII because using a spell or a GF weakens your stats, I only attack/Limit Break without end, which is repetitive. In XII I only auto-attack by a Gambit, because of effect capacity and physicals taking less time to kill the mobs. It's both repetitive and non-interactive. So the customization ends up as only busywork and causes no results.

There are only some yellow and purple Materia early to middle game (This is a flaw in VII, specializing towards physicals in normal easy to understand ways is impossible, meaning outside of Oversoul and such. Purple Materia comes up way too late in general.), so you always have space for the other two, which you should use. I personally summon, when there are 4+ enemies. I don't think Magic+All falls off before Double-Cut, Deathblow+Added Cut only takes one party member off the rotation, meaning the spell power bonuses can be concentrated to the other two even better, since before that only one can reasonably be concentrated by the Summon Materia.bonuses until then, because there are too few of them. The two events happen to happen about the same time.

On healer, one enemy skill and one physical attacker. Everyone spamming limits. That will get you through the game fairly easily. I'm not saying magic is useless, but it's fairly optional, just like it is in 8 and 12. I would say magic is actually better in 12 than 7 personally.

2nd: All the summons, Fire+All
3rd: Ice/Lightning/Restore+All, Mighty Guard and Comet

I'm still playing through it for the first time, so my two cents might not mean shit, but the later half of Midgar was fucking nuts and they have you running around trying to catch Chocobos and shit like right after a crazy ass chase scene on a bike among other things. Not gonna lie, my enthusiasm for the game kinda dropped a bit at that point.

I regained it as I kept playing, but they really could have eased you into the tedium of the over world better imo.

I'm not sure I'd say it was the best part of FF7, but I did like it a lot, because it highlighted the "science fantasy" aspects of the game. Right from the start, you have swords and magic coexisting with robots, lasers, and industrial-looking power plants. It was something I hadn't seen before, and I found it really unique and interesting. I still do, even though my tastes have changed since then and I mostly prefer pure fantasy now.
