I hope that they reveal in June that they're no longer doing the horrendous multi-episode release, but I think that's wishful thinking on my part.
Why are you guys complaining about the battle system? It was revealed that it was gonna be an action RPG 4 years ago.
It's either you were hoping it will change to turn based (lol so remaking the remake) or you're not even interested at all when the game was revealed years ago.
Eh, I've been critical of the change to an action battle system since that reveal, as I don't think Square has developed any action RPGs that are as good as their turn-based RPGs yet, and part of why I would want a Final Fantasy VII remake is to see a return to the old Square gameplay that I love. But, yeah, I can't say I've been especially interested in this game, since the information Square has released for it has made me incredibly pessimistic about its eventual quality (and that's without taking into account how bad I think it is to remake this game without any input from Sakaguchi).
Anyway, the passage of four years has not warmed me up to the remake's gameplay changes. I thought it was a bad idea then, and I think it's a bad idea now.
