FF7 Remake would probably be more popular if it had a more interesting art direction

FF7 redesigning its strange anime-ass source material into Last of Us style realism is actually one of the more interesting things about it, too bad it's compromised through outsourced saar asset farms

Metaphor was ugly

IT WOULD PROBABLY BE MORE POPULAR IF IT WERE GOOD.
HAD ZERO QTES
DIDN'T HAVE POINTLESS DIALOGUE OPTIONS.
DIDN'T FUCKING HAVE AN OPEN WORLD BUT WELL CRAFTED LEVELS ACCESSED VIA AN OVERWORLD LIKE THE ORIGINAL.
DIDN'T TRY TO BE META AND RUIN EVERYTHING THAT MADE THE ORIGINAL GOOD.
KEPT THE STEAMPUNK STYLE.
FINE CRAFTED THE COMBAT INSTEAD OF SHITTING OUT SOMETHING CLEARLY INCOMPLETE IN THE FIRST VOLUME.
DIDN'T SELL ONE GAME AT TRIPLE THE COST
FUCK SQUEENIX
actually yeah atlus had one of the best remakes ever (p3 reload) and that one was faithful almost to a fault. Wasn't perfect but it was still really damn good.

this actually makes sense though, moogles don't really exist in ff7's world they're a fictional creature made by shinra. so of course they look like stuffed animals: they were made for merchandising. unless they changed that in the remake so that they're real now because they already made everything major stupid, so why not the minor stuff as well.

Find moogle house

awaken Guardian

find the crystals

Rince , repeat.

After the third time, it just feels like a massive chore. After playing this, I know why people complain about Ubislop formula.

FF7 was never known for having the cutest moogles.

UE + outsourced Pajeet assets + "muh realizm!" style = absolute cancer, that not only went against the original devs' intentions and warnings, but also completely butchered the punk atmosphere the 1997 game had going on with its retro-futuristic dystopia vibe. But alas, the iPhone era zoomer wouldn't know "punk" even if it hit xer in the face.

Practically a near-perfect rendition of the FF6 era moogles. And a galactic mile superior to the nightmare fuel the DEmake has.

If you think that's bad you should see the tonberries in FF16, they literally have long skinny legs and are blatanty based on a normal human model

I honestly don't want to see anything from 16 or the modern S-E slop. I'm already fed up with Unreal Engine cancer having suffered through the Talos Principle 2 and SH2 demake just recently.

How do you do, fellow moogles?

I think some of the stuff is ugly because it's funny.
The game has plenty of good design as well.

I'm already fed up with Unreal Engine cancer

Same, to the point I actively wish harm upon pedofaced Sweeny

is there a mod to change those god awful moogles into the ff14 or ff11 ones yet?

Ugliest FF game ever made including phone ports. It really has that made-in-india ue4 asset flip look.

it's funny

I'm not laughing. It's clear that most of the slop in the de-makes were crafted out of generic UE assetstore bits and pieces, forcefully jammed into the hole that said "realistic style".

The game has plenty of good design as well.

It really does not. It's a clusterfuck of miss-matched styles and assets with varying visual fidelity. Too many cooks in a small kitchen, literally no art directing, and everything either looks generations behind what should be doable this day and age, or just BAD.

The Junon zone looks pretty neat though

Trying too hard

it seems to pander to waifu/husbando retards, I played the first one and was completely underwhelmed by it
lotta bloat for some reason, the game was already slightly tedious originally
maybe if I had an autistic crush on Tifa or Aeris I'd like the game more, but as it stands even hyper-realistic looking sluts isn't enough to make it fun

Truth, and the lighting is truly terrible most of the time too. There's a bit in Kalm near the start where you're up in the tower and can overhear tourists talking about look out at Midgar, it took me a minute to even find it myself because the lighting is so washed out and garbage. Just sloppy as fuck.

It really was lacking in the sense of adventure. It was pretty much guaranteed that you would never find a hidden dungeon or something like that because everything followed that spesific ¨do thing X¨ formula through the whole game.

assetstore bits and pieces

I rolled my eyes when I saw AK47s hanging on the wall at one of the weapon shops.

The mismatch aesthetic was already present in FF8.

It looks like someone modded FF characters into Rust or Ark. It has that generic open world survival feel.

I want to kiss Cloud

So true friend mine rolled straight into the back of my head too :^)

problem with that game is retarded story and horrible pacing, along with bad graphics.

There were ak47s in the original game you stupid secondary

Based anon. There's plenty to criticize but the facts matter.

The way the game looks is the least of it’s problems

I'm not even trying.
The game just unironically looks like feces.

The lighting is one thing, but the fucking NPCs and world props simply look prev-prev-gen AND out of place.

True, but it's one of the easiest things to showcase immediately.
Everyone who's actually played THE FF7 knows what kind of a pathetic clusterfuck this fanfic of a sequel's plot is, and how each game barely covers 1/4th of the OG's campaign.

Time to accept that the only good looking FF was 9.

Wow, so now it's even more lame.

Is that FF9? Doesn't look that good honestly.

this is awful

I wonder will we ever get a FF15 Remaster? You just know they want to milk that game some more eventually.

This is what I imagine Barry looks like
