is Final Fantasy 7 remake better than original?

Gameplay? 100%
Everything else? Hit or miss

>>724153589 (OP)
Remake 100%

The original FF7 is overrated and unfinished.
It still does a lot of things better than the remake.
Some things, the remake does better than the original.
Play both and make up your own mind.

>>724153589 (OP)
no
kill yourself now.

>>724153589 (OP)
it makes the original obsolete in my pov

>>724153589 (OP)
Yes

>>724153830

It's not overrated or unfinished

If you actually played it you would notice how it completely falls apart near the end like literally *all* Final Fantasy games.

>>724153589 (OP)
No. The presentation in the remake is great, but I hate how it's full of modern gaming stuff. Immediately after the first few missions you're thrusted into this open world with side quests, the original was way more linear, but in that regard it allowed the experience to stay more focused.

It's a sequel, not a remake.

Learn English first.
And no, it isn't. Play the original.

The remake is literally called Final Fantasy Remake, saar.

>>724153589 (OP)
Not even close.

>>724153891
notice how he implies that it's the same game

Beefy Tifa is canon

The remake has obvious advantages over the original, at least in the graphics and presentation department. It also brings probably the best NG+ system ever made, tedious garbage doesn't need to be completed again, you can redo quests if you wish to, and you jump to any chapter with preset dialogue choices, it's kino.
In terms of music, it's a tossup, do you prefer midislop or orchestralslop?
For combat, the remakes are obviously better, and you have to be retarded to think otherwise. Do any other games out there have this kind of hybrid TB/Action combat?
As far as the plot goes, I believe it's waaay easier to get into it with the original game. Not as much crazy retarded shit, and it isn't padded to fuck and beyond like the remakes.
The reasons to play the original essentially boil down to the preference of a better plot (R3 could improve here), nostalgia, and the fact that it isn't super fucking padded.

>>724153589 (OP)
God no

Is Tifa white or asian?

>>724153589 (OP)
No remake is ever better than the original outside of RE1

>>724156303
Wait a second this isn't Tifa...

>is capeslop featuring alternate timelines KH-tier writing made by out of touch boomers whose last good game was 20yo better than the classic, sovlful intended experience
I fucking hate this place and all the zoomers infesting it

Everything but the story is good.
Some of the things even better than the original.

The problem is that the story is such a fanfic abomination to the point it fuses two of the worst things possible: parallel universe and the very awful Nomura trilogy with the prequel and the sequels games.

And the problem is that these things are so awful it is really really difficult to sympathize with the characters and the setting to just enjoy the evolved gameplay.
Unironically changing the story to such a degree was ultimately armful for the remakes

>>724156510
Nobody even really believes it, it's just one guy pushing it very hard, and not even he really believes it, he just hates that others shit on remake and hates anyone who likes the OG

>>724153589 (OP)
No.

>>724156553
i wish they actually commited on it being a sequel that changes up almost everything like they teased in part 1, right now with rebirth its the worst inebetween that appeals to no one

It’s a sequel, so it’s not a fair comparison. I mean, of course the combat is way better, but there’s a lot of things the original does great. There’s a reason why it’s so beloved to this day.

But I think OG, Remake and Rebirth are all great as part of a series. Ignore everything else except Advent Children.

>>724156742
There’s enough new stuff in Rebirth that kept me hooked. Also, I really enjoyed how expanded some of the sections were - Junon and a few others come to mind.

But just like you said, I guess I’m the minority that really wanted the game to take its own direction, since that seemed to be what the ending of Remake was all about. Fingers crossed they really lean into it in 3.

>>724153589 (OP)
I think it is a tied battle, but for me yeah it is better.
Theres stuff the original does better and theres stuff rebirth does better, and that the original does already but better.

>>724156931
>Fingers crossed they really lean into it in 3.
They won't.

>>724153589 (OP)
OG > Remake
FF7 put the series on the map for a lot of people while the remake struggles to even be a decent quality action game while being propped up by the original's fame. Strip away Remake's brand of FF7 and you're left with a mid action game nobody would give a shit about.

>>724153589 (OP)
I despise everything about Remake's changes, how it's trying to be some meta sequel, and everything that was added. Anything that is still good existed in the originals, a everything that sucks is the things they changed and added.

This trilogy is everything wrong with the FF7 extended universe all in one package: The inclination to subvert and change things that were perfectly fine. Forcibly adding in a bunch of shit from the other spinoffs to sell more products. Feeling like they are above the source material. Borderline false marketing with the Remake Part 1's rug pull. Selling the game in pieces, with hours of filler added that ruins the pacing to make it seem "worth it". Changing character personalities to be more align with their extended universe versions.

And I even like the new combat. It's the best version of Square trying to make FF combat real time while still feeling like a FF game. The hybrid ATB system is great. But it's in service of such a foul product, and even then it's not perfect. Every boss fight being interrupted with cutscenes and health bar limits is lame as fuck. It changes repeat playthroughs (something these game WANT you to do with hard mode) into a chore.

>>724153589 (OP)
I love it.
It revolutionized the ARPG and barely anyone talks about that aspect because we have OG curmudgeons constantly shit talking the effort. Storyfags need to be taken out back and shot. I play games for GAMEplay not GAYplay.

meh
they're similar
they're both really good
and they both make fags seethe and cope
so I like them both
it's not like the original is gone or anything
so if you don't like the changes just go play the original again
you fags all complain about remasters anyway so here you go, a game that's a pseudo-sequel is being made and you still have the original to enjoy

>>724153589 (OP)
No. All its aspects are worse. Story, style, setting, content, characterization, gameplay, customization, pace, music, waifus, details, emotional resonance, logic, tone, freedom and if I could think of others at this moment, they're very likely worse too. VII Remake is a personal slight against me and I can't wait for its influence to wane.

They didn't want to make a remake and thus they shouldn't have.

>>724159030
ok

>>724159030
>They didn't want to make a remake
They did they just didn’t want to be bored doing it

>>724153589 (OP)
if you use the insane tits tifa mods, its close

>>724153891
of course he wants people to buy the latest slop first, because they dont make any money on people playing the original ff7
how retarded do you have to be
