Final Fantasy 7 Remake - Combat Analysis (see staff post)

Why is Cloud's Cross-Slash now called Punisher.
wtf.
I mean, it's Cloud's best punish move on opponents in Smash in many situations but... It's Cross-Slash.

Maybe it's the attack type as opposed to its name.
(edit) nah, different name for different characters.
So a lot like FF7's combat then. It's not like the gameplay/combat in the original was anything particularly special, and even as someone who loves easy games, it was never even remotely challenging.
This game is destined to sell millions and have a high metacritic score. We're talking 90+. This game isn't doomed at all.
Screnshot me because I'm actually super confident its gonna get above 90
You should never, ever consider a position as a business analyst in the gaming industry.
For your own sake.
You mean critically? Commercially, this game could be the biggest turd in the world and it will still sell millions and millions of copies, its VII.
On topic: Good analysis video.
OK. Just don't say that I didn't warn you.
All I'm going to say, is that most people prefer things to be the way that they are originally.
Not only will it flop, it will flop big?
How much you wanna bet on this?
Anyway looks good so far. I like the dedicated guard and guarding fills up your limit break (or whatever) meter.
Most people aren't purists. A lot of the people playing this game also likely won't have played FF7, or much of it.
Good news! Combat will be nothing like either of those two.
This game is the way it is precisely because FFXV was such a smashing success. And it's got the FFVII branding. It will sell literally 20 million copies lifetime.
We are stuck with this shitty Hold Button To Win action battle system now...
Good video, but i think they will probably overhaul the gameplay again, FFXV Duscae 1.0 is pretty much a different game, FF7R 2015 is quite different too from 2019, but the gameplay right now looks fine imo, so i hope they just leave it & we don't get another delay.
Dude, lol.
Even if FF XIII and XV weren't your style, they sold millions and have tons of passionate fans. Lol
Considering this is a remake of the most popular Final Fantasy, this game will sell on it's name alone. Plus the amount of marketing they're likely going to put into it, this game will sell millions. It will outsell FF XV, as well.
The hottest of takes. Even if it scores in the mid-70s on metacritic it'll sell like crazy.
wrong wrong wrong
you can just play the original game in that case, no point for a remake
RE2R changed the controls and movement and other gameplay mechanics, and it's a critical and smash success
I won't be buying it due to the combat.
Cutscenes look awesome though
Most of the buyers will be newcomers. Even the diehard purists aka "ITS NOT TURN BASED. I HATE IT" will end up buying it. Trust me on this!!!
I think you mean YOU won't like the combat if its like XV, and YOU prefer things the way they are originally. But for most people... no. And this is gonna sell like crazy regardless of the battle system.
I loved FFXIII's combat system, but hated the game series it was tied to. So I would be overjoyed if they brought it the FFVII remake. IF it is FFXV combat all over again, I will be pretty disappointed. FFXV's combat was interesting but was really a let down in a few areas.
Thats true. People stayed mostly for the story not the gameplay. Still:
I lile a turn based system more than that.
Yeah im out, no interest in KH combat in a Final Fantasy title. Will watch the cutscenes on youtube while i play something else though xD
Tempted to screenshot just in case I see you in the OT saying something like, "You know what? I bought the game!" :P
Normally id honestly say you probably right, but jrpgs usually take longer to get into open up and get your money out of so im often a little more hesitant to throw another investment on the potential backlog.
When/if its finished in ten years with all the qol improvements over time and the complete edition releases I will jump in. I just dont have that much faith in square anymore, which is crazy to me as they've been one of my favorite developer most my life.
It looks different from all the games you mentioned. I would be surprised if it's any good though but we'll see.
The hottest of takes smh lol but the same folks saying shit are the first to post in OT's saying " you know fuck it I'm going to try it. That's what I call the "not feeling left out" complex.
So let it out folks it's the same dance, year after year.

How is it destined for a high Metascore? Last FF to do that was over 10 years ago
You do realize that while controversial, FFXV still sold very well.
I'm all for changing attack names because according to the dedicated work of fan re-translators a lot of those original names were just poorly translated.
Apparently for Cross-Slash something like Curse Slash would've been more accurate and Punisher feels more in line with the act of cursing someone I guess.
Climhazzard was a definite mistake, the theory is it was supposed to be "Crime Hazard".
You start to notice a theme of law enforcement here and it makes sense to me at least because Soldier were just cops for Shinra right?
