WHYYYYYYY????

[Dr. Zoidberg]

It's possibly due to it coming out on the Switch & Xbox One. Which still doesn't make any sense.

SE have removed the DRM.

I’m just not sure if I actually want this remake.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

It looks nice. The new combat system, not so nice.

[melancholy]

Here’s the part that ruins it all:

It will essentially be a full scale game for each part of the multi-part series [...] if we're just looking at each of these parts, one part should be on par with the scale of one Final Fantasy XIII game.

Which is total shit. They’re basically taking 10 hour segments of the game, stretching it out to fill a 50 hour game, and then charging $60 for it. No thanks.

Final Fantasy VII Remake comes on 2 blurays.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

It looks great

[Dr. Zoidberg]

- New tactical mode in (optional)
- Enemies have a focus gauge; if filled, you can stagger your attacks for bonus damage
- Filling ATB allows you to use Tactical Mode, game slows down and allows you to plan to use abilities
- Item usage is limited
- FFVII Remake will be split into 2 Blu-Ray discs worth of content with Part 1 consisting entirely of Midgar
- Stagger mechanic from Final Fantasy XIII is in
- FFVII Remake will expand on the story of Midgar

[Dr. Zoidberg]

[melancholy]

I want that statue so goddamn much. But factoring out the deluxe version of the game, that comes out to be $250 for it. Whew...

Also, do we know what exactly is ‘remastered’ about FFVIII?
