Final Fantasy VII Remake:Part1. INTERmission DLC (6/10/21).

[Balla]

I'm looking at this and xvi right now. Which one should I buy, brehs?

Both

 

[Westbama Heartthrob]

different games, you gotta tell us more of what ur into. ive played both. FF16 is more streamlined, Euro, and bloodier, FF7R is more JRPG oriented and clicks more with fans of anime. I will say both have filler side quests, although the stories for som of 16's side quests outshine 7 remakes

I like the more mature tone of xvi. Cause it kinda reminds me of berserk. But i don't mind the goofy animeness of 7 remake

Heard that xvi is more dmc inspired. Curious how in depth the combat system is. Especially compared to the hybrid system of the ff7 remake

And are they about the same in terms of game length. Know jrpg's kinda depend on the player and their degree of completion, but what's a rough estimate for both

And how does xvi deliver on the story and tone? Is it mature in terms of strong storytelling and pacing or "mature" as in overindulgent swearing, sex and violence without any substance?

Cause I'm not sure what to expect from square

I dont think I'll enjoy ff 7 remakes story much. Seems mellowdramatic with some weird voice acting from what I've seen. Is it better once you actually play through it? Or bearable enough to play through until you can get to the gameplay?

A lot of the appeal from 7 remake comes from nostalgia for the original. The best moments in the game are from the OG version. The sidequest and extra missions are all kind of bleh.

FF7 is more rated teen cyberpunk anime, with all the classic jrpg and anime tropes. FFXVI is western inspired more along the lines of witcher, berserk, elden ring, you can still tell its japanese though. Its a lot more mature, the writing, dialogue, and tone is darker. If you’re looking for somethign that is a bit more rpg orientated (a lot of gear, weapons, party members, command menus) you’re gonna want 7.

If you want something more straight forward with fun action combat and insane cutscenes then you’re gonna want 16. VII has big cutscenes also but the stuff that rivals 16 is mostly just at the end

I’ll NEVER understand the appeal of Berserk aka The Rape Anime

That goblin slayer

I’ll NEVER understand the appeal of Berserk aka The Rape Anime

It’s fantasy that isn’t borrowing heavy from Tolkien. The world feels dangerous and horrifying which makes sense.

Never added up in other fantasy how there are behemoths and dragons wandering around and everyone acts like it’s no big deal.

It’s why berserk spawned so many copycats.

The rape stuff just feels like 90’s edgelord stuff though

Cloud: “you owe me sex”

"Now let's say you owe me something
Yeah, owe me back like you owe your tax
Owe me back like forty acres to Blacks
Pay me back when you shake it like that girl"

Cloud is hard on these ho's.

 

[BulletProof]

Cloud IS a child, most of FFVII is pretty much about how dysfunctional he is; and why he is that way. This was his way of comforting her because he literally does not know any better, so you're not wrong - this is intentional.

You can see a similar reaction when Tifa breaks down crying about what Shinra did to Nibelheim, he has no idea how to react to this (her optional scene in Aerith's garden):

I don't know if I call that childish. I certainly would call it emotionally unavailable.

Dysfunctional? Sure.

Unhealthy? Yeah.

There was a time, up to fairly recently actually, where society dictated that men repress emotions and should stunt sensitivity to a point where they quite literally don't know how to really comfort someone.

They might tell someone just to get over it. Maybe try to buy them something to try to make up for it. Im 37 and the men that came before me were like that. Hell, I'm somewhat like that.

Nowadays, it's considered toxic masculinity but that was the norm. Factor in, Cloud is a military man and written by Japanese men. A culture who doesnt generally say, "I love you", to one another. Where people in general are supposed to be more reserved.

It's shown through actions. What better action can a man like Cloud show his love for Aerith than to kill her murderer? Avenge her? Keep in mind this is in the context of a video game.

Now the pizza part definitely shows a mental disconnect from reality. We all know Cloud has pretty severe mental health problems.

No, there are going to be 3 games to tell the whole story.

Some people don’t like it, but when they all come out, imma play all the games back to back with Crisis Core.

Should have just made it into one game.
