It was so good with the rewards, the beautiful new locations (the Paradise!), some quirky (even if short) storyline with Choco and that music.
I remember spending ages to find the Simmering Island's treasure when I was 9 years old.

Final Fantasy VII Remake - Red XIII render and bunch of screenshots

I remember spending ages to find the Simmering Island's treasure when I was 9 years old.
Even more frustrating when you see some of the praise that X gets. They turned overworld & airship exploration into picking locations from a menu. Dungeons became corridor crawls. Bleh, I dislike it so much.
So, uh, is there a reason people are being so melodramatic about a sidequest menu? I've read this entire thread now and I really don't see the issue with the game adding in sidequests.
The main issue is more that it's reminding people of the extremely cookie-cutter side missions in FFXV, Crisis Core and other modern RPGs yet we've seen very, very little actually new SUBSTANTIAL content in the game.
When one of Square's main excuses for cutting the game at the end of Midgar is "we wanted to flesh it out as much as possible", the presence of a bunch of disposable side quests but not much new content kind of starts to make that excuse ring hollow.
The renders just made me wonder for the first time... Who accessorized Red? He has no opposable thumbs. Is Bugenhagen all about fashion?
Also:
My friend pointed this out but now I can't unsee it every time I see Carbuncle from FF7.
but I know it wouldn't sell as well because "cartoons"
But part of the problem is that you had a game that for all intents and purposes was super anime/2D inspired and chibis and now we're juxtaposing a lot of "real ass" looking people. Like the big guy in FFXV was kinda unsettling to me because he felt very out of place.
Part of that is the change from styles that came with Advent Children and FFXV pushing realism but stylized character models. I would have much rather the whole game be built around this aesthetic,

i loved everything so far that we saw from this game but goddam this picture gives me FF XV Vibes....and i'm scared
can't unsee it...i loved everything so far that we saw from this game but goddam this picture gives me FF XV Vibes....and i'm scared

Wait, I just noticed it something. Isn't that a yellow materia in Tifa's glove?
I guess the other character's weapons will also show the materia.
This is not final fantasy to mei loved everything so far that we saw from this game but goddam this picture gives me FF XV Vibes....and i'm scared

But unlike FFXV, you're actually surrounded by a likeable cast with substance in FF7R. Tifa has more personality in her finger than Gladio and Ignis combined.
No one is forcing you to play optional content. You can still just play through the critical path
Better it than FF13's stuff, I guess.i loved everything so far that we saw from this game but goddam this picture gives me FF XV Vibes....and i'm scared

Welcome to modern jrpgs (plus every game these days). Doing useless fetch quests for random NPCs because we got nothing better to do.
You can't, other than in some obligatory story related sections.
Again, I'm not sure what's making people go all doom and gloom about a single screenshot. Like, I understand that other FF games had dumb sidequests, but I don't get what the big deal is with this screenshot in particular.
Combination of people finally finding something to shit on and genuine concern.
Damn, I would KILL for a FFVII Remake to look like this. Sometimes it feels really frustrating to have preferences like this when most other people are jacking off to cutting-edge realism while simultaneously wiping their asses with "cartoony, kiddie BS", as if it was disposable 1-ply toilet paper.Part of that is the change from styles that came with Advent Children and FFXV pushing realism but stylized character models.

I don't know, I thought FFXV's cast was pretty likable. The bros personalities and such weren't my problem with FFXV.
Ignis' complete meltdown when the black chocobo stole his glasses, and Noctis' hysterical laughter in response to Ignis whining about it, was such a great character moment. It's the most realistic dialogue exchange in ANY Final Fantasy game.
Yeah it sucks cause stylized stuff tends to stand the test of time better. Where cutting edge realism ends up looking dated in 5/6 years
Nonsense. The XV cast is one of the best, most charming and more believable in the series.
and aside from the fact the story was not completely done FFXV was pretty great and side missions are fine long as they have varietyi loved everything so far that we saw from this game but goddam this picture gives me FF XV Vibes....and i'm scared
I'll, reluctantly, give you Prompto but Gladiolus and Ignis? No way, big guy. Noctis? He's awesome and deserves the love.

This so much, and what worries me the most is that they chose to showcase this.
No way man, even the frigging Onion Knights were more believable than "Cup Noodles is the ultimate flavor experience!"
Excellent. Something about this amazing game we can finally all hate.
Christ, this just proves it. There's no place left to go to discuss video games without it being completely overrun with negativity.
You know the cool thing about side quests? If you don't like them, you can fucking skip them. Just lay off and let the rest of us enjoy the game.

I am going into this being completely optimistic which is something from a negative person.
There seems to be people with complete lack of imagination on what I believe they are planning to do. There are too many thinking it is a straight up remake only 10 hours of content and anything that strays from the critical path is filler.
I am seeing this as a full fledged Final Fantasy title like the last few it will take 80 to 100 hours to Platinum.
If this game was not a remake but an original title people would not be batting an eye. All the main story beats will be there but there will be new ones as well which will be resolved in Midgar before leaving. The original game didn't even go to two sectors. The 8 sectors used to be 8 towns and I expect each will be visually different but since they joined together a commonality in them.
As for the summons I think the preorder ones will be used on normal enemies. Look at the cactuar screenshot, it is fighting a Hedgehog Pie a normal enemy in the game.

All eight sectors are not going to be explorable. We'll be lucky if we get to see four. If the plan was to make Midgar a full open-world city they would be screaming that from the rooftops.
Prove it. Kitase and Nomura said that is why they want to put it in parts.
Link? I seem to remember them saying they put in in parts so as to cut as little as possible, not to make Midgar fully explorable.
