@ViaSonicLore @notshade The original version exists, is very accessible, and very playable. The reimagining/quasi-sequel that these games are is much more compelling than a straight-forward remaster would’ve been.

@notshade Oh nooooo. People spent years putting care and craft into a story thay they care about, I’m soooooo pissed

@firagawalkwthme I remember liking it, but haven’t thought about it much since

[nick @The24thFrame]

Under-discussed element of FF7 Rebirth is its excellent finale. A really challenging string of multi-phase bosses that demand you utilize everything you’ve learned over the course of the game. I spent a whole evening, dying to each phase multiple times. Finally some good food.

@YoshidaShoyou @TaleSpun If they pull off this last game, I want a Return of The King-style sweep of all the GOTY awards next year. I don’t even care what else comes out.

@kitchentongue @soonrightaway The reward for 100%ing Super Mario 64 is that you got to play more Super Mario 64. Which, is how the best collect-a-thons tend to function.

@EPM106 @normal_jake_ iirc, you can use the jump button to speak to NPCs too

y’all mind if a white boy eats a little dal and roti on the cruise ship?

@TheReunionVII Playing a role once doesn’t mean it’s owed to you in perpetuity. That’s not how acting in any medium works. The previous actors did their job and were paid for their work.

[nick @The24thFrame]

@TheoDoesArt Debating between that and PC, tbh. I love the idea of the nice graphics that my PC can offer, but portability is nice for a 90 hour game when you’re a dad.

this is auteurism

Naoki Hamaguchi says regardless of feedback, he refused to reduce the number of minigames in Final Fantasy VII Revelation:

"The request to reduce the number of minigames is a difficult one. I have a very clear policy that I don’t want to change, no matter how much feedback we receive. After all, the original FFVII had an enormous number of minigames. This remake series exists because of the original game, and respecting the original is one of our core policies.

More than in previous installments, we’ve made it so that you don’t have to engage with minigames if you don’t want to. For example, when it comes to minigames tied to battle progression, players who wanted to focus on combat ended up feeling forced to play them. To address that, minigame rewards are now largely unrelated to combat progression. Instead, they offer things like character skins and customization options, so that only those who want to play them are encouraged to do so. Meanwhile, battle progression and the like are tied more closely to combat-oriented side content. Overall, I think the game is much more comfortable to play than past entries.

That said, I imagine there will always be players who dislike a particular minigame but still want its rewards. To help with that, we’ve added difficulty settings specifically for minigames. So now you can lower the difficulty to “Easy” if you wish, and if you try a minigame and immediately decide it’s a lost cause, you can also skip it right away. We’ve made a number of improvements aimed at minimizing frustration.

In that sense, we’ve done everything we reasonably can. We won’t reduce the number of minigames, but we will continue making every effort to ensure as many players as possible can embrace them."

@_bazztek releasing on Switch also means Japanese people might actually get to play it too lol

[nick @The24thFrame]

It’s been said a million times but why is the Switch 2 version of Mario Party Jamboree so ass? Been using the GameShare feature a bunch, because the wife and I passed our old switches down to the kids… But Jamboree only lets you play the first board in Gameshare. Sucks!

[nick @The24thFrame]

@TDevontaT I have a gaming PC, so I might!

[nick @The24thFrame]

I don’t have to play this one on PS5

Final Fantasy VII Revelation releases Spring 2027 "simultaneously on all platforms"

[nick @The24thFrame]

@eyemissxv honestly I’m half-tempted to get the Switch 2 version. Having kids means that handheld play helps me finish long-ass games way faster

[joe bro @jbromovies]

Sonic get in the Eva or Amy will have to fly it again

[nick @The24thFrame]

now to spend 7 months obsessing over whether to get it for Switch 2 or PC

[nick @The24thFrame]
