IT'S... PUNISHMENT TIME!

@ReWhoniverSe I love when these fanboys of niche RPG franchise crawl out of their caves to start talking about FF and FF7, every-time there is an FF discourse and then crawl back to their caves.
This inanimate object gets on average 5 likes when talking about SaGa, when FF, 40 on average 😂

[Monoakuma @monoakuma53]

Good thing the Remake has none of those things then

[Mega_Dad @Mega_Dad_Games]

Nobody wanted a hack and slash remake, shonen voiced Red XIII, dementors, or multiverse shenanigans in all the years prior. It’s was never uttered. Not in any forums, not in any major threads.

[Monoakuma @monoakuma53]

Meanwhile what FF7 made today actually looks like

[Vivi The Grey @ViviTheGrey]

FF7 if it was made today.

Oh wait…

[Monoakuma @monoakuma53]

“Are all OG purists MAGA? Seeing a lot of similarities in fabricated logic”

Oh buddy lol The venn diagram correlation is insanely consistent💀

[FinalFantasy Peasant @FFPeasants]

WRONG!
Final Fantasy 7 OG did not "cost a fraction" of Remake... it cost more.
Marketing was insane and it's called inflation.

Jesus Christ... The way goalposts shift and facts just get made up. Are all OG purists MAGA? Seeing a lot of similarities in fabricated logic 🤣🤣

@Animex_Player @nhamaguc I know it’s optional, I just think a better system for casual players could be created instead of automating fundamental game design.

[Monoakuma @monoakuma53]

@J0hnADouglas So you want a remaster then. Play the mod.

[infi @repliborne]

still cant wrap my head around the revelation level thing bc. Why would i willingly spend almost 100 dollars for a game and not engage with it

[Del @TheCartelDel]

Saying “it’s optional” misses the point. Sometimes the value of a challenge comes precisely from not being able to opt out of it.

There’s a broader cultural shift here, where frustration is increasingly treated as something to remove rather than something worth learning to overcome. When every obstacle comes with a freaking escape hatch, you risk devaluing the patience, persistence and eventual satisfaction of overcoming it. Even players who choose the old-fashioned way, by grinding your ass off and working hard, know the game was willing to hand them the victory at any moment, and that inevitably makes the accomplishment feel hollow as hell.

[Del @TheCartelDel]

We need to have a serious discussion about how games used to be a unique method to teach kids & teens about patience, delayed gratification, and working hard to accomplish a goal - and now we're designing away the need to persevere at all. You will learn to overcome nothing.

[Monoakuma @monoakuma53]

@ActuallyCloud “FF7 fans”

[Monoakuma @monoakuma53]

People saying “it’s optional” are also optionally not reading what I said lmao

This is what Easy Mode is for.

If casual players on Normal auto level up but still can’t beat the boss, then what? Choose option to auto win the fight?

Perhaps a Reverse Dynamic mode would be better

[Monoakuma @monoakuma53]

@nhamaguc Respectfully, please reconsider this.

Fighting battles, levelling up and overcoming challenges to feel a sense of achievement is part of the FF experience.

Easy Mode can be enough for casual players if the enemy level, behavior and damage output are balanced appropriately.

[Monoakuma @monoakuma53]

@Genki_JPN @Animex_Player Revelation up two places

[Monoakuma @monoakuma53]

@joao_vitor01983 @nhamaguc You can say all that without telling him to shut up in all caps. It’s really rude and impolite.

[Monoakuma @monoakuma53]

@RAWARPG Yeah this doesn’t seem necessary. Just play easy mode which will scale up the levels anyway while going through it

[Rawa 🎮 Persona 3 Reload @RAWARPG]

Not a big fan of this.
Let games be games.
You already have difficulty options, ffs.

[Monoakuma @monoakuma53]

@PandaKingEX Easy/Story mode is designed for this very thing, so this feature seems redundant.

[Monoakuma @monoakuma53]

Barret and the others didn’t know Sephiroth was there. It’s not framed as a comical moment. It’s fine to criticize some scenes that shift tone suddenly but this isn’t one of them. This nitpicking discourse needs to stop.

[Swillo @PandaKingEX]

This discourse point needs to stop. Nobody said the OG isn’t goofy, the OG had a balance of serious and goofy. The remake turns scenes that were once serious into pure fucking jokes, like Barrett throwing the black materia to Sephiroth. Ridiculous
