Hope it lives up to your expectations and you love it.
Always sucks to not be with happy for a game you were excited about.

@phreak - that I understand. Rabid defenders are rarely better than those that hate on a game. If you like a game or series, it makes sense you want to discuss what it could have done better or where it might go in the future.

Think people have become to comfortable with giving simplistic aggressive responses, attaching a strong emotion to it as justification, then calling it a day.

I will never deny that the FF7 remake games have good graphics, runs well and a great combat system.
Those parts are really well done. It's other things I don't like

As I said, I hope everyone excited for it enjoys it.
Won't deny you that ever. Hope you love it.
I'm just tired of being insulted for not liking changes I feel are disrespectful to the original. Changes I won't talk about here due to spoilers.

@phreak @IcariX - Everyone is entitled to their opinions but personally I am excited for Revelations. I never played the OG FFVII until 2006ish.

Loved it, but the remakes are even better. The combat, graphics and party interactions are great.

Played Remake and while it does have its slow parts i.e walking simulator. It's still a great game. Played Rebirth last month only and it was even better, much more exploration, and yes while there is a ton of side content - most of it is optional.

It was a joy to see Zack again and play as him. and I think in the remakes Aerith's characterisation is miles better than Tifa.

I am hyped for Revelations and cant wait for more.

I am not a purist so do not care much with the story changes, by the end of the trilogy I doubt there will be any crazy differences to the actual ending of FFVII.

Resonance will be my GOTY though, I can see it already.

Elitism is fine except when people lose sense of the context in which games (or any other media) are made.

We're shifting into a bipolar market - maybe exacerbated by social media - where things are near perfect and therefore worth money/time, or people fixate on flaws without considering things like the developers cultural setting, size, budget, development time, and publisher influence.

Increasingly problematic when a few flaws lead to small teams (and sometimes bigger ones) collectively trashed for one or two elements with no regard given for everything else the games/series/movie does well.

Does not bode well as that ultimately means more safe bets and more homogenisation (especially in the console market where creative indie titles don't sell nearly as many copies as on PC).

@Phreak

I can't wait for Resonance. But the more I hear Square Enix talk about Revelations, the less I'm interested in playing it.

I've been called an elitist as well. But the whole Remake trilogy so far feels like poorly written fanfiction. I hope Square Enix stays far far far away from Final Fantasy VIII

If you're excited for FF7 revalations. I hope you love it.
But currently I'm not interested...

Excited for FF Resonance!
And I HATE that I have zero excitement for FF7 Revalations
Being called an "elitist" because I don't like the changes from the original isn't fair. I LOVE FF, it's my fav game series, but am I not allowed to voice my displeasure things in about it I don't like?

I was going to build a BLM, till I got a taste of that sweet bow !love Everything changed, and when I heard that Bard is a support role too, it was a no brainer

@ phreak - I play Foe most of the time, the other night a BLM was running out of MP, so I played his lullaby for him, after the fight he traded 2000 gold to me for nothing. When I asked what its for, he said he gives it too any Bard that plays the right song without being asked to, I kinda felt good I must be honest...I dig my Bard though, just such a cool role


That's awesome dude Always a good feeling when people appreciate the way you played.

It's like if you're the only person in a dungeon who has been there before and you take your time explaining all the details and tactics to the new players. Those commendations feel so satisfying

Hotfix time! :

he following adjustments have been made:

・The amount of items that are awarded from the treasure chests in “Alexander: Gordias” have been changed from 2 to 4.

・The following item names have been changed:
 - Titanium Armor of Fending → Adamantite Armor of Fending
 - Titanium Armor of Maiming → Adamantite Armor of Maiming
 - Holy Rainbow Cap of Casting → Rainbow Cap of Casting
 - Holy Ramie Cloth → Hallowed Ramie Cloth


The following issues have been addressed:

・In “Thok ast Thok (Extreme)” Ravana would stop performing actions under certain conditions.

・The damage reduction effect of the Marauder action “Vengeance” would be overwritten by debuffs used by certain monsters.

・In “Seal Rock (Seize)” a player would sometimes be placed in the starting area of a rival Grand Company.

・The Idyllshire NPC "Splendors Vendor" could exchange the following items with the "Fieldcraft Items" option:
- Traders' Favor (Azys Lla)
- Matron's Favor (Azys Lla)
 ※If you had traded for these items before the fix, please check the following notice: http://sqex.to/tzs

・The unsheathing sound effect did not play for the following equipment.
- Gordian Greatsword
- Gordian Musketoon
- Gordian Astrometer

・Linking the Opal Bracelets of Casting in chat would display the item name incorrectly.

・The PvP rank requirement was still listed on the tooltips for the item level 100 and 110 PvP-specific gear.

So I finally reached lvl 50, only to discover the dumbest thing I have ever encountered in an mmo... I got lvl synched upwards, wtf!!! I did a dungeon and was lvl synched from 63 to 110, pls tell me this isn't normal, cause if it is, wtf is the point of getting Bette gear???

Could someone pls laugh at me and tell me I missed something and explain what I actually missed, cause if this is normal, then I see no point of lvl'ing in this game and have to ask why in gods name would an mmo up sync a person, down yes, but up??? Stupidist thing I have ever seen....

Dude..no.. you get level synced if you are OVER 110 in some of those early dungeons (not many of those). You dont get lvl syncted if you are under it.
You were iLVL:63... you stayed Ilvl:63.

You're going to need those millions if you plan to buy a house in FF. They're madly priced.

Easily in the 2 mill plus range, and that was when the housing system just came out for a beginners place. It's skyrocketed since then. I've seen some places going for 15 mill.

Without Selling or buying anything, I made 600k just off quests. I've started to lvl my botanist and miner, will start selling stuff when I get valuable stuff at higher lvl's

That's nice. I spend a lot of my money teleporting though. So far rhe best thing I've found to sell, not using the in game marketplace, but rather the NPC vendors, is materia. They fetch a pretty good price.
