I haven't even touched Rebirth yet lol and I really enjoy the Remake stuff, even more so because it's a sequel to the original, but FF has gone downhill overall imo. Trails is my current favourite JRPG series, and it's really not even a close competition.

@deathkid

No one is stopping you from enjoying the FFVII Reamke games. But my point still stands, it's poorly written fanfiction. First time I played Final Fantasy VII was in 1999. Final Fantasy VII and Resident Evil 1(I still have both), were my first 2 PlayStation 1 games. So I've played Final Fantasy VII numerous times over the years. What what the Remake games are, are nothing more than imitators.

It's mass market slop at it's finest. Does it make it terrible games? Not at all, Remake Part 1 was fairly decent. But let's not pretend that any of the remake games are as good as the original. I hope Square Enix doesn't touch Final Fantasy VIII. Because they'll ruin that as well.

@phreak - Dont't get me wrong, many fans have valid criticism's with the game and I respect that. And It sucks when a game you're excited for doesn't hit the way you'd hope. I mean as fans we want to enjoy all entries in our favourite franchises.

I feel that as I'm getting older I rather just enjoy games for what they are.

One thing that I am not happy with is that FFVII Revelation will not be fully on disc, even though physical discs are included.

I'm a pretty hardcore FF fan but if you love the Remake series, as I do, you also kind of have to understand that a lot of contentious decisions were made in the story and it's just not gonna land with some people. I totally get why some folks don't like it or agree with the changes.

I do hope however that the announcement of FFXVII is close, feels like the FF fandom needs a new mainline title to reset after the Remake series lol

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.

Final Fantasy XIV Endwalker Expansion and PS5 Version Revealed

by Sam Aberdeen on 08 February, 2021

Square Enix had a big showing for Final Fantasy XIV fans over the weekend, namely the announcement of a PlayStation 5 version of the beloved MMO which delivers a number of technical improvements. Above all, they also announced the newest expansion titled Endwalker - along with possibly one of the best trailers of the year already. The Endwalker expansion will come with a bunch of new additions that fans will find familiar, but if they have a PS5, there'll be some additional enhancements to look forward to.

The Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker expansion promises a plethora of new content, including the addition of multiple jobs (or classes), new story content, a level cap increase, new areas to explore, and tweaks and improvements to the game's battle system. The full list of additions and changes can be found below:

- Journey to Thavnair, the imperial capital of Garlemald, and even the Moon!
- New Jobs: Sage and more
- Level Cap Increase from 80 to 90
- Expansive new areas, including Garlemald, Thavnair, and the city of Radz-at-Han.
- A New Beast Tribe: the Arkasodara
- New threats, including Anima.
- New Dungeons
- New High-Difficulty Raid: Pandæmonium
- Secrets Revealed in a New Alliance Raid Series
- New Small-scale PvP Content
- An Additional “Trust” System ally: Estinien Wyrmblood
- A New Residential District: Ishgard
- Updates to the Gold Saucer
- Relaxing Fun in Island Sanctuary
- New Gear and Crating Recipes
- Expanded Horizons via the Data Center Travel System

Unfortunately, we'll have to wait until the Final Fantasy XIV Digital Fan Festival 2021, which takes place between 15th May - 16th May, for more information on Endwalker.

The PS5 version, on the other hand, will bring a lot of technical improvements for the new hardware. This includes vastly improved frame rates, 4K resolution, faster load times and more. Starting April 13th, an Open Beta will become available if you want to dip your feet in the PS5 upgrade. If you have a registered license for the game on PS4, you'll be able to download and play the PS5 version at no extra cost at the start of the Open Beta, while PS5 players can simply access it through the Free Trial.
