Final Warning: Spoiler Final Fantasy VII remake follow.
Andrew Webster, Game Editor: The biggest shock to the ending was the unexpected result. Most of FFVIIR Runtime is a fairly traditional remake. It expands the original in an important way, but usually tells the same story, reaching the same main plot point. The new game essentially only applies to the Midgar section that started from the original.
I expected the next episode to cover the same part. FF7 Details added. Now I don't know what to expect. The ending of the game opens a whole new way for the story. The original event is malleable, and the fate is not predetermined, but rather can be changed. I started playing with a little perfume, but now I really need to know how things are different.
News editor Nick Statt: Given the original infamous and complex plot FFVIII was sure of two things going into the remake. The game couldn't be over with the cloud, and his ragtag crew left Midgar before the credit came out. I was convinced that in order for the game to actually be a 30-40 hour adventure that is only a small part of the whole story, we need to start weaving from some elements of the Sephiroth story.
The game was delivered at two points simultaneously, and after a bit of an ending I think I'm in an alternate space / timeline camp. I can see in the left field but loved the epic final battle. I personally don't feel too warm because I think the stakes are too high. It's because you feel like you're going to permanently change the attitude of every character in the outbreak. Instead of slowly taking on such a huge responsibility as more and more general conspiracy is revealed, little is known.
But the atmosphere is very Final Fantasy, I will forgive Nomura and the crew. Advent childrenFan service inspired when you need it most in the game.
Anyone can guess where this remake series comes from here. And I would lie if I wasn't a bit worried that part 2 might be the biggest hit rush. Life Stream ”Nonsense. Unlike the crowd that is currently very annoying die hard "scene remake" on the internet, I'm not afraid they will change everything and rewrite the script entirely. But it's really a shame that all the great work to bring these characters to life a lot more lively than 25 years ago is so dependent on the overly ambitious twisting elements we're fighting now.
Michael Moore, coordinator review: Frustrated with the ending, I think it's hard to say what it means to get out of the original case from here. They effectively showed that they would be willing to hit the main moment in the same or similar way in the rest of the game, but added new material to improve storytelling and develop more characters than characters.
So it feels like a lack of previous confidence that effectively showed how the player is getting out of the original, because he can beat the player on how other things can go on. FFVII. In other words, what they want to go through is how other things come out here.
Kevin Nguyen, editor features: I didn't spoil the ending, but I kept getting the text that tells me when my friend arrived along the way. They wanted discuss, I assumed I was in a big tweak or disclosure. After finishing a rather boring fight with Sephiroth and seeing a somewhat satisfactory CG montage, I wondered what I had reached credit and exactly what I missed. There's a revelation that Jack is still alive … exactly what?
It doesn't mean much. Of course, whispers are dead, so now fate is no longer predetermined. What it means to the fans is that the remake is now written with a plotting device that can escape the original.
This is very bizarre to me! Why producers Final Fantasy VII remake Do you have to empower yourself to change stories? Indeed, why should the entire conspiracy of the game lead to the moment you declare “you are doing a remake”? Wait a second, let's try one more time: hhrrngghh !!![[[[Green flashback sound; “Did you know that remakes may be different from the original?” Sephiroth says.]
Overall, I blew the ball for 30-some hours of a little high horned hack n & # 39; s slash. Mechanically, the game is better than the original. I hope writing will take a step further.
Sam By Ford, Editor in Asia: Ahead of the launch, I was thinking of how Square Enix literally titled this game.Final Fantasy VII remakeIt was a goofy fan service. However, after completion, the name makes a lot more sense. What i want and expect Final fantasy The game is a quirky contortion and not much weirder than revelation. Final Fantasy VII remake Not just a remake Final Fantasy VIIBut the super meta alternative universe version that exists to meditate on the concept of regeneration Final Fantasy VII.
Twisted Metal Gear Solid 2When released, the book turned out to be a destructive and postmodern remix, just like the original sequel, and the previously unpublished protagonist is experiencing a mysterious familiar event.

Whether they continue to land is another matter entirely. If you don't play the next episode of the game and don't know when this information will appear, it's hard to call this idea a good idea.

How can it exist without a story? ” No writer dreams of a new and exciting way.

That's a really long thought FFVIIRI am not sure if Zack is really alive or if there is anything else that is really there. I was fantasized about future episodes where I could keep following the original path of the game or explore new stories. The best way for fans to actually decide what's more important is Canon or creativity. But most of all, I like the good story trolls. Just tear the wall around me
Adi Robertson, Senior Reporter: These last few reactions actually crystallize my ambiguity. On paper, i love Final Fantasy VII remake The concept of the classic “we must kill God” conspiracy by God is to make a high-text text version with an unclear concept Final Fantasy VII. This is Grant Morrison. Animal man JRPG's!
But at the pure text level, the ending is not. Do nothing. The characters … know the upcoming murder. But, as Nick said, the fight came from the left, and there's no reason why it's more important than avoiding the bad things that are amorphous.

However, I am not sure who the approach will attract attention to many episodes of who knew. But I am at least on the next board.
Kevin : Sam, I'm from the same place as you, but the ending gave me a feeling of getting better with Adi. that much remake There were 12 free import quests. You might think that one of them would have included roaming the ghetto to find a reasonable background for Jack, not three cats.

The reconstruction of Evangelion The film is original Neon Genesis Evangelion Animation series. While the first film remakes the show's early episode fairly faithfully, the ending of the film and subsequent films begin to change significantly from the work of the series.

I played the original again a few months ago. remake They came out, and now they loved their games in earnest, as if they felt a simple pattern. Here's a bit and here's some basic information about the world. I spent a lot of time in dishes, empty skies, and very tall buildings here and there.

Sam: Yes, absolutely not This ending only works when they accept the story line wisely, but it feels like landing something like “omg Aerith lives”. I'm not sure if the saga will be finished in the end, but I'm much more skeptical about how they go. But it's at least likely to be cool now, and I'm here. Maybe in a few years.

Engraved gold: I think the only reasonable way to make a conclusion should be to have an appropriate conclusion, this series introduces all familiar story bits as usual, but knows that the character is running a script. In some cases, the writer may deviate from a suitable place.
I can't see them saving Aerith or giving up the conclusion entirely, but I could see the situation she chose to know she would save a friend and the planet. Or maybe there is a timeline where she and Jack live together. You can decorate the original plot by checking everything with such things. God helps players who haven't played the original game.
