Yeah, it's like your memories are lying to you guys. Cloud in his FF7 rendition, is an outgoing, cocky son of a bitch with a wry sense of humour and he does try and connect to the people around him.
People only think he's mopey/angsty because Advent Children and Kingdom Hearts (and possibly Dissidia, haven't played them) are fresher in their minds than FF7.

The reaction to the FF7 news has made me feel really weird as a fan of FF7, every piece of news that has come out about it has actually made me more interested yet the minute I go to see reactions everyone seems to losing their minds.
I guess nostalgia will do that to people.

Tell me more about Xenocross.

I thiiink Tactics might be the only "Final Fantasy" game I ever beat. I may have completed one of the FF games that came out on GBA, I can't remember.
Damn, I love Tactics though.

The change in the combat completely renewed my interest...the original's combat hasn't aged splendidly and the materia system made every character feel same-y (outside of limit breaks). Merely slapping a new coat of paint on that 20-year-old gameplay would have been a poor choice.

In a perfect world, FF7:R would've just stolen Trails in the Sky's battle and orbment systems, but we don't live in a perfect world. The action style seems like a fine compromise.

Its a terrible game that's still better than FFVII.
Tactics Advance was great too. The first tactics game had a ton of issues with its story and especially characters, but that gameplay/job system is amazing.
Edit: CONTENT?!
OH MY GOD

yeah i mean they only stealth dropped an entry in the best premium content series
no big
Not only am I confident that they will finish the whole thing, I believe they will expand it like those Hobbit movies and add a bunch of stuff from the compilation like that Genesis Rhapsodos guy.
Oh wait that's all still a bad thing.

Yup, there's so much stuff in FF7 that would be god awful if they just left it as it was but made it look better.
I don't know what to do with this, do I consume it all now or ration it out?

They've said that they'll add things IIRC...

I admit to not playing a ton of FFT at the time (I rented it only) but I played A TON of FFTA. god that game was so good

i can't foresee it not finishing. I have much more confidence in FF7r happening than FFXV solely due to the fact theyre using a real fucking engine for it that is incredible well documented and proven as opposed to whatever technical shitshow that their own homemade engines have been for them, causing them severe development issues.

Oh you know what? I forgot they were different games. The one I played and loved was Advance.
They're certainly going to have to add side quests to Midgar if we're right and they're gonna make Part 1 purely the Midgar section. Heck, they'll need to add quests to it if they're planning to make Midgar a fully traversable city just to justify all that extra space.

Yeah... whilst it could be nice, it just seems weird that they'd add more to an already enormous project

Oh so they are almost finished moving, cool.

The problem is, for all of FF7's scale, it's actually pretty empty aside from a few key side things. If you're rendering that at a modern scale, that emptiness wouldn't go over well. Doubly so if you're splitting the project up.

is it ethical for them to have shaq posted up on there with Shaq Fu coming soon?
I simply will not trust a shaq fu review from them, im sorry

You're not alone. At least with their current plan the game is actually feasible.
A content oasis just appeared!

Oh this better not be true. This is the other relief pitcher in the GB rotation (the other being Encyclopedia Bombasticas).

Hotline Miami 2 had a really neat story and a amazing soundtrack. It's hard to get too excited about a sequel that has noticeably worse level design than its predecessor though

when the universal summary of HM2 was "it's like the annoying hard parts at the end of HM1 but that's the whole game" I was like naw, thanks but no thanks
War Peaceman
You're a big guy.
If anything it was a victim of how good most of the original was. I feel like they really exhausted those small levels.

Man
was one of three games (along with MGS and FFVII) that made me envious of PS1 owners back in the day. It was SO good... (at least in a controlled party format where you're only playing for a little bit at a time).

Did they sit on that Demo Derby for a week or did Drew and Jason quickly rig up a bootleg setup? Guessing the former.
Table for scale, that is actually a pretty big space.
