Disc 2, lol

Ran out of budget, sorry

Disc 2 is when all the kino happens

Why did he wear the mask?

>>723937641 (OP)
Gonna say something blasphemous; 20 years later, and I’m fine disc 2 is mostly truncated, because the game is fucking LONG up to that point and it makes the ending hit harder

The armor kept him alive, I think it was essentially a life-coffin

It’s going to be severely disappointing when SE inevitably remakes this

Disc 1

How did they do it

Your manager just said there's no more money to use to make the end of the game. What do you do? Do you :

A - Abandon the project
B - Make the end into a visual novel so you at least have something to present

>Remake announced
>Director and main team is brought back
>It's actually 1:1 but in HD
>Includes the sickest CRT filters you can imagine if you want
>Fully orchestrated OST with option to use original audio
>Disc 2 is fully made as originally intended

Our species changed. We became collectively suicidal and obsessed with political might. Our collective soul is gone.

honestly really ballsy to do what they did for disc 2, basically a total concession that they couldn't finish the game so they try to convince you what was there would've been really cool, relying almost entirely on the player's imagination.

If only they had a better grasp of the scope at the start, there's plenty of filler dungeons that would be great trades for some disc 2 gameplay

>Disc 2 is fully made as originally intended
It ain't 1:1 then. The game needs a complete overhaul if they're going to finish disk 2. Even just the idea of disk 2 being finish won't mean its "finished" because the original was suppose to be 3 or 4 parts long. All of disk 1's story would need to be redone as well. You're looking at a FF7Re:Make and nothing else and you best pray Nintendo doesn't get it first or else they will tone down fucking everything for their audience.

Look we both know we're on the bad timeline and nothing that unambiguously good would actually happen.

>>723941664
I meant gameplay and graphics-wise, you buffoon, so all of Disc 1 would remain mostly the same, but things like the "Fighting Arena" could use a touch up, desu.

>>723940831
It worked. After reading Perfect Works, it really dawns on you how massive in scope the game is and how there's really been nothing else like it since.

>>723937641 (OP)
It's gonna bother me forever now that I know disc 2, which people have always said is the worst part about the game, is way better than disc 1 because it doesn't waste time. It just tells you the story and lets you fuck around in a dungeon. The worst part about disc 1 was the worldbuilding and plot. Unfortunately they also kept the combat in disc 2, which is awful, instead of just narrating a story to you.
