Remake isn't an actual remake, it's a sequel.

Are you a zoomer lackwit who cries about old games being le clunky? Then stick with the zoommake. If you're a self actualized human, start with the original and play the zoommake after if you feel like it.

The game is really meant for playing OG first.

Regardless of what happens in the remake it will be defended to the death by people who would have loved it no matter what. All you want is more time with the characters. It doesn't matter if it's tedious, boring, nonsensical, badly written, insulting to your intelligence, utter trash. They could make a 100 hour game set in Seventh Heaven and you'd like it, because you get more time with the characters. At some point fans like you became obsessed with the characters, but don't actually care about the story or the game they're in.
Is AC good? No, but it gives us more time with the characters, so they like it.
Is BC good? No, but it gives us more time with the characters, so they like it.
Is CC good? No, but it gives us more time with the characters, so they like it.
Is DC good? No, but it gives us more time with the characters, so they like it.
Is 7R good? No, but it gives us more time with the characters, so they like it.

The original FF7 is still a far better told and paced story than the hacked and bloated one their trying to tell in the Remake. Apart from some shitty graphics at times, which youll get used to because the actual art style is still fire, it holds up surprisingly well.

Dont get me wrong, Remake is great in a lot of ways in itself but theyre trying to add too much extra shit within the story and it makes it nearly incomprehensible. Its better if you have a previous understanding of the original game to make Remake better.

Exactly this. Despite what anyone(including the devs) say. This is clearly a love letter to the fans of the original game as well as those who have played much of the spin offs. From the inclusion of Zack very early on, to countless call backs, its clear that the game expects the player to have some level of nostalgia and understanding of the original. Not saying you cant like it as a new player but the Remake games do not unfold narratively like a game telling 1 story cohesively. Its clearly trying to follow similar plot points while simultaneously telling a new mysterious side plot at the same time. Its fairly easy to catch as a returning player but not as a new one.

I'm playing rebirth. I stalled right after nibelheim and then I can fast travel anywhere now. I just don't wanna play all these minigames a second time. I was fine the first time through but now they all have higher difficulty.

So let me see if I got this straight. You think games like

- Resident Evil 1-4
- Silent Hill 2
- Metal Gear Solid
- Dead Space
- Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- Wipeout
- Shadow of the Colossus
- Persona 3
- Monkey Island 1-2
- The Last of Us
- Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1-4

are all bad games?

I recommend playing OG FF7 before the Remakes.
You can play the Remakes by themselves but the third part isn't out yet. Which is going to be the best game out of the Remakes btw.
OG FF7 is still extremely fun to play to this day and it's a great experience all around.
Don't feel like you need to over praise it, though. Even though it's my favorite game I don't try to pretend like it doesn't have it's cringy moments.

The minigames are simply extra content. There are some prizes but they are never game changing good prizes. The only prizes that are worth a shit are the Chadley/Colosseum fights. Unless you are trying to Platinum the game, dont play the minigames that you dont like.

>>split the game into 3 parts

Each part is a full game. Whether YOU wanted to see more of the world doesnt matter since many fans did.

>>take the better part of a decade to release all parts

Yes. Game development on AAA games in the 2020's takes time. The fact that they will likely produce 3 whole ass games within 7 years is pretty incredible.

>>charge full price for each part

Again, I stress the fact that they are full games ranging from 40-50 hours and even 100+ for Rebirth

>>bloat each part to mindnumbing levels in order to justify splitting the game up and charging full price for each part

You can call it bloat all you like. But making each location into a significant settlement with side quests, minigames, open world areas, and loads of distinct enemy types is exactly what I wanted

>>add in a bunch of alternate timeline/universe BS that ultimately leads nowhere

I wont even defend this as I agree its the weakest part of the Remakes as a whole but are usually sidelined to mostly the final chapter and short sporadic moments.

>>can't play as Red XIII, Vincent or Cid when you meet them, you'll just have to wait till the next part comes out :^)

There are currently 9(10) playable characters with their own complex set of moves, abilities, synergy attacks and dynamic playstyles in Rebirth. Its honestly impressive how complex the ARPG system is. I think you oughta learn some patience for 2 remaining playable characters

>Is it any wonder why FF fans seem increasingly past the honeymoon phase and are asking for a divorce

This isnt an arguement, just your lame opinion.

I'll never understand why people like you have to make it such a point to hate on something other people enjoy? If you dont like it, you shouldve known by the first game and removed yourself from the conversation.

weirdly as a "remake" of the same game, they don't feel like the same game at all.
tl;dr the original is worth playing if you like JRPG. remake is some other weird thing in its own genre; open world action-RPG but not quite, still has a command system using RTwP.

remake is good except i think whilst the first part is necessary to set up part 2, it's really shit. part 2 improved pretty much everything, just with open world fatigue setting in quite hard by the final third. you can simply beeline through it after experiencing most of golden saucer and the card game.

That was bvoated to the max with content most people didn't like, hence Rebirth's sales not meeting expectations
>The fact that they will likely produce 3 whole ass games within 7 years is pretty incredible
Not as incredible as Squaresoft's run in the late 90s where in seven years they released FF6, FF7, FF8, FF9 and FFX, never mind all the other games they made during that time and none of those games have done as badly as Rebirth seems to have
>I stress the fact that they are full games ranging from 40-50 hour
and you could have cut out all the BS that people didn't like, made two games and they would have been much more well received
>There are currently 9(10) playable characters
People who were looking foward to playing Cid or Vincent don't care about that, they wanted to play Cid or Vincent. Wasn't this a "love letter" to the fans?
>This isnt an arguement, just your lame opinion
