Reasons I would drop 180$ on a FF7 remake

[brickmii82]

I'm curious as to why you think SE would ask for that much. Are they going to release it in episodes?

As for your suggestions, I can't really say much. FF just isn't my sort of game. But I sort of feel that the changes you want may go directly against what another fan will want (or won't even be compatible with other requests on your own list). And that means there'll be disappointment if you go expect too much. Yes, I know: 180 bucks is a lot. But this isn't about money but about games not being able to be tailormade to suit the likes of one individual rather than a group of fans.


EDIT: and...probably off-topic, but I'll mention it nonetheless. I recently played that Abe's oddyssey remake. It's in most aspects a great game. But the camera angles just ruined it for me. I ended up just starting to play the original instead. I'm still glad I have the game and it's remade (it's one of MY all time favorite games), but it's more of a "I have that game!" than me actually wanting to play it.

I see what you're saying, but I just feel that updated graphics alone can't justify having a remake released in parts and charging full game price for each part. This is an assumption though because they've stated each part will contain a full games content. As far as my list, they're not really changes, just more additional content. Truthfully, what I'm interested in, more than anything is end game playability. There were many interesting activities you could partake in the third disc of the original. Lots of side quests and mini games. I couldn't even tell you how many hours I ultimately played, because my memory card saves were all maxed out each of the 3 times I played through. Their just ideas more than anything, but I'm pretty sure there's at least 2 or 3 there that most of us FF pundits would think are cool lol. If not, I'm super open for suggestions/critiques!!!

Are you talking about $180 all at once or over time through dlc?

Over time. SE has stated it will be released in episodes.

I'd rather have less pretty graphics/flashiness and a complete game than a beautiful game cut up into pieces. the original, which was very ambitious at the time was released as an imperfect but COMPLETE game, namely the US/int. versions with Ruby & Emerald, so I simply cannot defend SE's decision to cut this so-called remake up into episodes. It's a cash grab imo and hearing that it would be episodic, while it didn't shock me(this is SE, not Squaresoft) made me lose interest in this remake entirely.

It all depends on how they make it. Resident evil revelations 2 worked well as an episodic game even though the campaign was not the best part regarding replay value. Still made the game worth the season pass DLC.

For FFVI, I would say it depends on how they make it available. The game is available on virtually every platform imaginable so I would think SE would push more on new content with a familiar feel

180 USD???!?! No freakin way would I pay that much for a game, unless it was a really kickass limited edition one with tons of crap in it that'll eventually make you realise that you spent 120-140 dollars more for some weird toys and paper.

Its not a game,its technically 3 games.

If the game is worth it i would totally pay 180 for it. But square enix said every episode of the remake is going to be as big as FF13.
