Remake and Rebirth are so fucking good. They're more than what I wanted because instead of just getting a basic bitch remake in more than just name, I get a fucking sequel that expands upon so many aspects of the original. As a fan. Why wouldn't you want more of what you love?
Not only that they've shown time and time again throughout the games so far that they hold so much reverence to the original and show it so much more respect than a beat for beat remake ever could.
The story changes are awful so far. Gameplay is good though
I disagree, not that much has really changed overall in the grand scheme, just in how and when it's being told. We mostly just get more.
Like look at the upper junon section. We get everything that was there before, except we get this extra section with the seventh in between the parade and leaving for costa del sol (and the recruitment section just before the parade). Which looking back was one of my favourite bits, especially early on.
...it's not the game that I loved, not even close. I bought the first remake, got to the first boss, and uninstalled.
Square are dead to me.
The game you loved still exists, and the new ones let you spend a little more time in the world, fleshing out little moments from the original and lingering on them longer and giving these characters' relationships time to actually breathe and grow more naturally.
I'm sorry it didn't grab you from the first 15 minutes, you truly are missing out on some awesome moments and gameplay in my opinion. Obviously the latter being mostly subjective, but I do objectively think it's the best action/ATB system that could've ever been implemented.
I never said the original ceased to exist, or complained about it, I said I don't like the remake.
The battle system is obviously the very first thing that made me dislike it so I very much disagree that your opinion is objectively true.
I subjectively like it.
I objectively think it's the best that could've been implemented for what it is, it being a blend of real-time combat but with the strategy of classic ATB turn based combat.
