Well while I'm still annoyed they decided fo change the story up** I'm glad they are doing FFVII justice by making the remake a really good game and not just phoning it in.
**I personally wanted a remake mostly for graphics but also gameplay but didn't really want the story touched other then some modernization. Put it this way, I loved what they had done with the story until the twist ending.

Watch FFVII-R3 get 96 and it officially becoming the GOAT trilogy in gaming! Let's fucking MOSEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
Hard mode is poorly named. It's really an NG+ difficulty. It's balanced around endgame stats and abilities. If they unlocked that mode from the start, it would probably be literally impossible.
There is a dynamic difficulty setting now which uses level scaling to keep enemies on par with the player. We don't know how much harder it will be but it may be worth checking out for a more challenging first playthrough.
Members only but be warned it likely contains all the leaks and artwork including the ending.
You're right. Though they aren't working on FFXVII so whatever team is, they should definitely see that more extra side content is worthwhile, especially from a critical component.
Right, I mean that it's going to be way more impactful for people with nostalgia for FF7. And I feel like that probably applies to these games as a whole.
There's a new difficulty called "dynamic" that you can select from the start. The enemies scale with you.
Happy to read you enjoyed it (with caveats). I keep reading some OG fans continue to claim that people wouldn't be able to enjoy Remake Trilogy with no knowledge of the original, so always pleased to see this not be the case for some.
Well I can still be wrong. And I love the characters and this is the best they've ever been. Except Sephiroth. He's wack but he has been for years. Dude was better off just being Jaws with beautiful hair.
Only in chapter 5 right now but so far same except it's Chitose. But probably back to Saeko later on. And also the combat is fun enough and the music slaps. Honestly I'll be more than happy if Rebirth's story is so much as mid.
It definitely matters.
Not just for publishers, but for gamers as well.
Some like to say metacritic scores don't matter but...
If a game they like scores highly, oh it matters all right because they're on the winning side.
If a game they like doesn't score highly, then review scores don't matter.
Publishers care about review scores because for gamers, It's basically sport at this point. They care because gamers care.
Not to sound glib, but can't you just turn the combat difficulty down? I mean it sounds like you have personal reasons to not enjoy the design, which isn't precisely an issue with the system as much as how you and the game mesh on the standard difficulty.
I don't remember hearing that? I think a lot of people (myself included) doubted that Square Enix specifically could make an open world interesting hahaha.
Plus, Remake was so linear that I think it was just kind of expected to be that with maybe a bit bigger areas.
I would always recommend that people play the original, but it's absolutely possible to enjoy Remake without it. Hell, I'm followed two streamers who played Remake as their first FF game ever and they *adored* it.
Looking for a spoiler-free answer if possible (yes/no) - do you need to play the side content in order to get a certain ending? Or is just one static ending?
Please respond with spoiler tag in case people don't want to know!

He better be cause I ain't playing anybody else once I've got him (except for Barret…. I can have a little Barret as a treat)
I assume this is what that poster was referencing:
"Your decisions also impact a very specific and highly anticipated event found later in the game, but thankfully, once you complete the game, you can easily jump back to chapters and replay them in hopes of seeing a different outcome."
Holy moly. I wasn't going to get this day one as I'm still doing my Hard playthrough of Remake but damn, I need to get on this now.
I love how much he's into it but saying it nearly wrecked his life is… well… not great 😂
Thank god, just wanted to be sure lol. I kinda want to fly through the first time, and then have fun with the optional stuff in a subsequent playthrough.
There's also publishers that have spent enough time in the industry to have sales data corresponding to review scores by now. They've likely seen enough to assume that 90+ is a magical number that switches on interest among people that would otherwise give this a pass, with 95+ being a free ticket into 10+ million sales mainstream status.
