Hoping to make your life's design a bit more dynamic!

Oh no, it's not like I don't know what's happening around the fanbase, the series (I was a huge fan until Sakaguchi left and they shat out FFX, everything went downhill since then), and the people who ruined it beyond repair.

I've been there too long. I know how things are. I even remember Squeenix having to apologize because how bad FF XIV was.
The last Final Fantasy game I can call enjoyable and even good would be the spin-off Chocobo's Dungeon Wii.

My question was more in the lines of "Why would we treat this like a real new if it was something created by fans". Nothing more.

The video I linked is not a crap fan-made fake remake. It's an official release from Squeenix and they treated it like the biggest thing, pissing off thousands of people. IT IS REAL, which it is what makes the video hilarious.

You could say it's a crap-tastic port from the PC version YET AGAIN... But it's as real as this remake is supposed to be.



My biggest grip with this remake is in how many ways are they going to @#$% up characters, stories, motivations and dialogues. I know Squeenix for far too long. Since the PS1 days ended it feels like they forgot how to create likable characters or stories.

Something you can relate, or feel attached to. Even if FFIV had a mediocre translation back then, you could at least relate to Cecil and his personal arc. It was clear, maybe simple, but it was easy to understand and made sense.

He became a Dark Knight to please the king, which raised him since he was a child. But that forced him to commit terrible acts; and he starts to feel guilt and remorse. His story is about trying to find redemption and change his ways to help others and protect them, instead of attack them like he did before.

Now compare him to Tidus, a vain asshole than has to remember to everybody how important he is, how many daddy issues he has "please pity me because I'm the only one with problems", that it IS HIS STORY!, and all that crap...

Now if you look to more modern characters it get's even worse in some cases...

...Seriously, what happened? FF is not heavy storytelling or magnificent writting, but at least the characters and story would make you want to keep playing.

Anyway...who cares anymore. This is a giant mess, and it will stay that way.

At least I got a chuckle about some people demanding that the remake of FF7 should have Cloud changed into a transexual woman, or that some parts should be removed because they are "Rape Culture".

I can't even.


About the "De-Make" I haven't played it yet, I'll have to give it a try.

Sorry for writting so much but this is one of those things that grind my gears...
