This is just aaaamaaazing! Looking forward to buy the third part, then rebuying the obvious complete edt for Ps6.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I don't really like Queen's Blood all that much. Guess it's okay, wish it was more like Triple Triad. Maybe it will grow more on me.

 

[Luipadre]

Played 2 hours, didnt skip the beginning altho i played the demo. Loving it so far. Looks and plays great in graphics mode.

 

[Krathoon]

Final Fantasy 7 finally has a card game. Yeesh.

 

[MISTER INVEIGLER]

Queen's Blood is so fun.

 

[MISTER INVEIGLER]

I think it's like FF8 card game if I'm remembering correctly. The card abilities make games more interesting.

 

[adamsapple]

Btw, standard case is reversible, it's a plain black logo (the same like the back of the steelbook above)

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

The fire that blows out when winning Queen's Blood combined with the DualSense haptics is so satisfying

 

[SkylineRKR]

Was anybody able to skip the Nibelheim section? It did not give me the option.

Yeah it will. Don't worry.

 

[Labadal]

Yasunori Nishiki of Octopath Traveler fame posted that he was involved in som of the game's tracks.

Noice.

 

[Krathoon]

I don't get why they still give you a standard case while you have a steelbook. That is a waste of cases.

They always do that.

 

[Krathoon]

The FF16 steelbook kind of sucked. It was an ugly ass steelbook.

No idea what they were thinking.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Just got this chunky boy with the extra steelbook from best buy!

 

[itshutton]

Cannot wait to get home to start playing!

 

[Krathoon]

It is going to be into the evening when I get the damn game. Amazon taking it's sweet time.

 

[shubik]

Does anybody else have trouble switching the language of the game? I found the option ist the game but even if I pick English or any other language it is stuck to German by default. Very annoying as the German dub is not good

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

I really wish I had gotten in time for the extra steel book. Alas.. too late.

On that note, Best Buy did deliver today. Just wish I had way more realistic updates before now and I would have waited. But "shipping by Thursday" just isn't compelling enough. I wasn't impressed with their packaging of a flimsy bubble envelope but it worked well enough and seems to be in good order so it's all good.

 

[TheShocker]

But its the same as the demo after the patch

I dunno. I played the second part of the demo, which I thought included the patch and it looked awful. This mode does not.

 

[Krathoon]

Ha. Walmart got the game to me first!

They really need to work on the quality of the steelbooks. Mine has some scratches on it from the assembly line.

I am going to have to touch it up with a grey marker.

Here are some markers if you need to touch up your steelbook.

[jorgejjvr]

So, is the game fun?

 

[jorgejjvr]

Queen's Blood is so fun.

Whats queens blood?

 

[Krathoon]

If you want your games on time, order from Walmart or Best Buy.

They are the most reliable.

I had to free up space on the PS5 for the game. Blasted away some demos and Horizon Zero Dawn. I got that on PC now, so no need to have it on there.

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

Whats queens blood?

I think it's a card game within the game

 

[Chuck Berry]

Where muh OT be

 

[MISTER INVEIGLER]

Whats queens blood?

It's a new card game in FF7 Rebirth where you collect cards, build decks and compete against npcs.

 

[Danjin44]

FINALLY!

 

[Krathoon]

It's a new card game in FF7 Rebirth where you collect cards, build decks and compete against npcs.

Yeah. They finally added a card game to FF7 just like FF8 and FF9.

It is kind of a callback to the old games.

 

[Nonehxc]

It's so good seeing lots of fine people being giddy and happy for a FF game again.

Meanwhile, I'm happy for you but also stewing in my own sauces because my copy hasn't updated since yesterday 23:00, the carrier used IS THE FUCKING WORST (SEUR) and I'm already imagining the motherfuckers will deliver( if they do) on Monday...and I've also read reports of people ordering from the same shop moment pre-orders came online long ago that their copies came without the Steelbook.

 

[Chuck Berry]

FINALLY!

 

[SCB3]

FINALLY!

ugh why did I buy the Digital deluxe version

So I have a question about the very start of the game, when was this 5 Years that Cloud was missing? Before this game or when he was a merc at the beginning?

 

[ebevan91]

Game has arrived and is installed. Let's do this.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Are there random encounters? Enemies respawning and whatnot?

 

[stickkidsam]

Played for about 4 hours so far.

Without going into detail there is a lot to love here.
-The characters are refreshing to see together (Tifa and Aerith are adorable).
-Minu games can be goofy fun.
-The combat is solid as ever and the world is beautiful.
-A lot of great renditions of the original music that give me goosebumps too. One particularly felt so chill it was like a wave of holy nostalgia for my tired ass xD

It's mainly the story I'm having some gripes with. The execution of some things just feels off or forced. Particularly some character interactions. Many of the new faces I'm not sold on yet either (yeah sorry Chadmeister). I also can't help but wonder why almost every random NPC feels like they were just plopped from our world into this one. The clothes and their style just feel off. It's like I'm walking through a FFVII Disneyworld rather than FFVII itself.

Still, I'm having a good time. Ain't no gettin off this train we're on now!

 

[Red-Dead-Ocelot]

Where is the OT? My body needs that sweet OT mako.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

FINALLY!

 

[jorgejjvr]

To make sure i get this correctly

The very beginning is some point in the future/flash forward (i guess we get there later in the game) then we go back to present day, where cloud and team are telling the story of the past (5 years ago). Did I get that right?

Also, i prob missed out a lot by not playing intergrade and crisis core huh? Any good videos that recap those?

Dont know anything other in crisis core other than I thought things didnt go well for Zack.....but hes fine? Interesting....

 

[TheInfamousKira]

I think it states in the menu that you'll have to reset the game for language changes to apply.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Ps: this feels unplayable for me at 30fps, feels so laggy lol, gotten so used to 60-120fps at this point

 

[Paltheos]

Not sure I've said this before on GAF, but I am probably waiting for the entire remake to be released before jumping in. Persona-style rereleases like FF7R Intergrade have only cemented my position. I'm only going through it once so I'll wait for the whole package.

Everyone who's diving in now, enjoy.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

I'm enjoying this so far. Kalm was amazing and running around the world is great... but I got some gripes.

Spoiler: Nibelheim spoilers

They made some changes to the Nibelheim massacre to make it make better sense logistically, or make it more dramatic. It just ended up being stupid. Having Cloud get knocked out in the basement made sense. I just played that sequence the other day for fun and it was weird how Seph leaves the basement to go kill everyone and Cloud follows right behind him, yet the moment you get outside everyone's already dead. However, having him get injured was annoying. The slow mobility sucked. Then the crawl. Everyone is standing around Seph with guns drawn but they don't fire for a few minutes? Weird.

Also, they didn't include any quotes from Sephiroth about how he views non-Ancients as traitors. Instead, he just talks about how he's Jenova's son. I always felt the "traitor" talk was a key component of his flip. By othering non-Ancients, it allowed him to commit murders

Spoiler: World Map music

The new Grasslands theme cuts out RIGHT before the main theme gets to my favorite part. I was PISSED.

 

[Krathoon]

Well, my game install screwed up. Trying again.

It was saying it was going to take an absurd amount of time to install.

I think something went wrong with the patch because it seems like it is patching as it is installing.

They probably overloaded the servers.

 

[adamsapple]

Are there any general gameplay benefits for playing Queen's Blood (like Triple Triad in FF8) ?

If not, I'd just skip it like Gwent.

Don't skip it, it's superfun and easy to learn !

But to your question, yes there are som cutseenes and a questline tied to the card game.

 

[saintjules]

Where's the OT? M mortal are you doing one?

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

To make sure i get this correctly

No, that's not right.

 

[Krathoon]

It turned out that a piece of lint was keeping my game from installing.

Touchy ass PS5.

 

[Krathoon]

Made me think something was wrong with the disc and it was a piece of damn lint.

 

[Yamisan]

Are the ps5 disc art supposed to be black and white or did they run out of color ink for mine ?

 

[mortal]

Where's the OT? M mortal are you doing one?

I am. It will be up by the end of today. Sorry for the hold-up.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Mine isn't black and white but there's not a ton of color either.
