Final Fantasy VII PS4 |OT| One last time before the remake

I mentioned it earlier in the thread, and I'm right with you. It doesn't look good. It's amazing to me that people respond not with "oh, well, that doesn't bother me" or "I like the new way" (both of which are reasonable, although the latter troubles me similarly to when people say they like HQ2X on SNES games) but instead trying to discredit you or somehow attempt to prove that the issue is imagined. News flash: criticism is normal, and it isn't going to kill you if someone has a different opinion than you do. If you disagree with the criticism, guess what? That's okay. It doesn't mean you have to get defensive -- nobody is attacking you, unless you're so far gone that your personal identity is wrapped up in what other people think of one aspect of a PC->PS4 port of Final Fantasy 7.

There are a lot of people who don't get extremely mad at videogames for things like this. No need to get defensive because people called him out over his hyperbolic statements.
 
You people need to learn how to stop being so defensive. The text in this version has a hideous filter on it. End of story.
 
Corneo choosing CLoud over Tifa and Aeris, Taking Barret as your date at Gold Saucer, Bahamut, Bahamut Zero, and Aeris' final Limit Break (maybe some of the other final limits as well?) and maybe getting the Leviathan materia.

I'm with you. I don't usually go for Platinums, but when I do it's to show support for a great game. Dragon Quest Heroes was the first game I platinumed in years, and I want to do it with FF7 too.
Bahamas ZERO is not missable. It can be excavated in Bone Village, but it's very rare.

Yeah, it sucks. I did stop noticing it after about an hour, but it's a completely unnecessary change. Original PC font was fine.
 
It should look like this:

PC unfiltered

or this:

PS1 unfiltered

NOT this:

PS4 filtered

Garbage.

I'm going to chalk this up to me being blind because I can't see the big difference.
 
Im honestly surprised that people cant see the text difference in that post. It is extremely noticeable. It looks like those crappy smoothing filters some retro game rereleases have.

I think the issue was more that he was making it into a deal breaking flaw, when most of us are fine with it. It's not imagined, he's 100% correct that the quality isn't as good, but personally, I don't really care- it looks fine when playing, and I'm not going to let it ruin the experience. If others want to let such petty things dictate whether they will play something they would otherwise enjoy, it's totally their prerogative, but no need to try to convince others to think the same way. It seems if the vocal minority aren't shitting on every game, it's not a normal thread around here.

I see a slight difference in aliasing and maybe it's less vibrant. I'm not trying to say there isn't a difference, but I'm trying really hard to see. My eyes are probably shit.
 
That Final Fantasy community complain about everything attitude is strong already. Fucking text aliasing complaints man - lol.
 
Over the years on GAF I've seen people complain about some crazy things. At this point nothing should surprise me. But the people complaining about the filter on the font in this game...I mean... what the hell people??
 
Thanks for this post. I'm the kind of guy who doesn't give a shit if a game runs at 20fps or 60, but this is the kind of thing that would drive me absolutely insane. Like, completely crazy.

I'll avoid this.
60+ hours with FFVII, any RPG, you're going to sit through a lot of UI. That should get extra special care and attention.

It's the same game most of us have been talking about for 18 years, so the changes in this version will be of primary concern to some. I don't really care about the font change, I adjusted to it quickly as I said, but it's definitely there and I liked the unfiltered fonts better.

That's not the community. The community is playing the game, that's some crazy person who freaks out about text aliasing.
 
With the 3x Turbo Speed turned on, it wouldn't give me a Pharmacy Coupon from the diner in Wall Market, even though I was paying for the meals. So small glitches like that are present.
 
So is this confirmed for PS4/PC only? I have it on both so i'm not port begging or anything, was just curious. Since technically in terms of icons they have their work done if they wanted to port to Xbox One. So I was curious if this was perhaps like the FF7R where it's "first on PS4" and could come out later. Couldn't find any info on that.
 
Hahahahahahaa omg I can see the minor blur......Fuck this world! It's the end because it's a complete garbled me......OH it's really not that bad. Unless I'm playing on a 120 inch projection just to see it. You play with 1000x zoom in your TV? Fucking A people will complain about every....damn.....thing.....

I am playing on a 124" screen and it looks fine to me.

 
I know I am going to get crap for this, but playing this game makes me sad about how sterile and politically correct games have become in the modern day. It's a shame that if this released today it would be torn apart for being offensive.

You get no crap from me, Scrawnton.

Any hot tips for a first timer? Should I change the battle speed up?

I assume "Wait" essentially turns off ATB?

Use Absolute Steve's guide on gamefaqs ;-)

Because the heart and soul of the game is totally predicated on Tifa using a slur for the mentally handicapped that one time.
 
Man, this x3 Turbo is a godsend for grinding. I usually take 20 or so minutes in the Shinra Building to steal 3 Carbon Bangles and a Hardedge for Cloud. Got it done in 5.
 
Im 100% certain the PC version had this feature in the game's menu. You're telling me the PS4 version still has circle as confirm and X as cancel with no way of changing it?
No, the US PS4 ver. has X = confirm and Circle = cancel, with no way of changing it, which is absolutely atrocious to me.
 
Put me firmly in the "text filter is ugly" camp. I had some other real minor issues with the feel of the PC port, which I imagine are retained in this version. I'll stick with emulating the PS1 game until the end of my days.
