It really is a core part of the vibes and tone of the series. Even the ones with no story to speak of and/or bad old turn-based gameplay had the good music, design, etc.
I’m just trying to chill, but capitalism

I don’t get it. It seems like a very unsatisfying ending that way.
I found it to be pretty anti-consumer, but no beef if you enjoyed that.
Anyway, here’s hoping it ages well like MGS2.
Well, now I’m starting to get it.
Major story changes and can only take place after the original has already happened. It’s a retread, but a sequel nonetheless. They explicitly said in interviews and such that it would be a faithful remake (despite additions).
I’d say it was my least favorite rather than the worst, but agreed. For one thing, the ATB is super slow. It also would have been nice to have a little build customization like Materia/GF. It’s neat to have set jobs for more character flavor, but maybe a little choice would have been nice. Also the final boss was silly.
FFXIII was best on its own and should not have been a trilogy, but agreed.
Cold take, I know, but I think FFVIIR is a falsely advertised sequel.
I don’t know if I’d quite go that far, but VIII is hella underrated.
That was the first Squeenix entry?!
I’d have kept playing if you didn’t have to do so many multiplayer raids.
Why should we believe this?
And FFI has already been made convoluted by Dissidia, so maybe they’d be less tempted to add further timespace fuckery. I’d be down to see if they could present the original story in a way that isn’t a NES game (has a story beside the opening and ending cutscenes).
They would only stand to lose content at this stage anyway. Cut sidequests, making another subtitle-Remake instead of a remake, drastic dialogue cuts, etc.
Like, I don’t worship the man, but this reeks of propaganda.
What’s with all the anti-Marx stuff lately?
If I must kill 1 person or cause even more death, I suppose I’d kill the person responsible for this scenario.
Why be gruesome when you can efficiently remove the threat?
It’s an argument made in bad faith and/or ignorance caused by same.
I gave FFXIII some flak back in the day, but I really did like it. Heck, it has one of my favorite casts. I’m a Snow enjoyer. However, it all went to hell when they made two sequels (with very different setting/theme tone) and decided to keep reusing the lore that people complained about in other games.
Also, I salute you for your courage at saying anything remotely negative about VIIR.
