He's probably responsible for many that came after him, though

Where is this one mate?
Also, anything good in the Gamespot EL stream? Any Danny/Mary segments?

At 3h 33m mark.
Right here is where I'm talking about, this is part 5. For whatever reason on youtube there's parts 1,2,5 and 6 but not 3 and 4

FFVII Cloud isn't emo.
Acti-Blizzard has too much money, running a TV Spot for that crappy looking Warcraft movie already. Also said "Warcraft The Beginning". Not sure if it is an overseas only subtitle but either way, Rorie Redeemed.
Maybe, Alex is a fan I believe.

That's because he's not even really a character.
He's just an extension of the player. He's just one step above Gordon Freeman

Wouldn't be a Blizzard story without a redemption or a corruption.
He's not even really a character in his own fiction. He's just a dude who stole someone else's personality (what little there is) and life.
Cheers was waiting for this one. Weird that 3 and 4 arent up.

No, unfortunately. Really want a handheld version.
I wonder how much nostalgia is holding that game up in people's minds.
Oh well I guess we'll find out when the remake eventually releases.
FF7 had great music, a great look, and some fun combat mechanics at the time. It was also one of the most impressive looking things I had played up until that point. Having a giant theme park with playable mini-games just cuz was unheard of to me at that age.
I'm moderately interested in the remake, but if you just look at the cast of characters in FF7 it is fucking bad. Like the cast has such fucking boring personalities. The Turks are cooler than the majority of the main playable roster in FF7.

Since experiencing Lightning in FFXIII, I've come to respect Cloud as a character with personality. He's a pathetic kid with projection and self-esteem issues. There's something there.
I have no interest in the FFVII remaster as a game, but as a story I think it'll be really interesting to follow. IIRC Square has already said they'll do a bunch of changes to the game, so it'll be fascinating to see how the fans react to that and what kind of changes it'll be. I also wonder how deep they'll go with the remaster.

Nomura has already said that they're thinking about making huge changes to the combat so there's potential for people to be real upset.

There's a less-than-zero chance it'll return, so I'll just say right now that I'll miss the Honeybee Inn questline. What a wild ride.
I'll be really impressed if they take the chance and commit to massive changes with the remake. Not just mechanics but characters and story too.
I really enjoyed FF7 as a kid, but as above, so much of that was the novelty factor of everything - the game itself is rough. Go big or go home.

I'm not really sure if I have faith in today's SE to make something better than OG FFVII, especially in the story department (and I don't have a very high opinion of FFVII). But it would be cool to see them try.
Wow, I like that. That's a pretty good gimme if someone figures that out.
They're missing here too. The whole thing will probably go up on the site early next week since the SF and Jason stream went up Friday.

I kind of feel like there is no possible situation where this game doesn't piss off a bunch of people. if they leave the game the same but pretty it up, people will be pissed. if they redo a lot of it to make it modern, people will be pissed. if the story plays out even the tiniest bit differently, people will be pissed.
but Square are in a position where no matter what they do or how many people they piss off, they will make their money back, so they have no real reason to care.
I kind of can't wait to see which camp is the most angry.
Dumb anectode: One of the best US Street Fighter players is called "801 Strider" and apparently the Japanese viewers thought he's gay because 801 sounds like Yaoi if you read it in Japanese, but it's just his area code.
edit:
Yeah, apparently it's slang. Wikipedia mentions it, too.

well
1) LOL
2) without being boring, it's not actually pronounced that way, but yeah in numerical slang writing, it totally can mean that.

I just realized PS4 launched two years ago today. Yikes, that feels like yesterday. I loved the day one stream Giant Bomb did.

so you can have same sex romance in FO4? Okay Bethesda, you at least got that much right.
Good. The materia system in FFVII is downright terrible. Everyone becomes a jack of all trades and it makes it feel like you're not developing any characters in your party. Aside from stat differences that end up to be pretty minor and whether or not they have a ranged base attack, everyone plays exactly the same. The base combat is fine, but the skill system needs a massive overhaul.
I don't necessarily think it needs to be action based, either. You can do something like FF XIII's combat and make it feel really active while still being turn based at its core. XIII's combat is really underrated. Kept me playing that game long after I stop giving a shit about what was actually happening. Would've platinumed it too if not for the god awful 'collect all items in the game' trophy.
You can even romance the robots.

I highly highly doubt it.
Without spoiling it too much (tho spoiler tags just in case)
There are lots of "computer centric" things in that game

Radiation storms in FO4 are metal as fuck
I'm guessing the missing parts were the ones where Drew's number was visible. I'm not sure how easy it would have been for them to cut it out of the YouTube videos

eh
It's been a great year for freaky post-apocalyptic video game weather.
He really doesn't like the game. Not sure how that's being arrogant or full of shit. Saying it controls like shit isn't the most controversial opinion out there.

OG TR defenders are baffling. game was a chore that most of us dealt with because it had some good ideas and atmosphere, but apart from historical relevance, it's kind of a bad game. Legend is at least basically the same game except not total garbage to play
Oh yeah, it's one of the first game I remember discussing with friends. I absolutely hated how it played back when it was released. I can't imagine going back to it today.
