Final Fantasy Remake (12/6 teaser) & FF Mobius FF7 Remake Prelude Event
Much hype over the teaser of Final Fantasy 7 Remake! While some of the changes surprised me, I overall really enjoy what I'm seeing so far.
Some criticism I've seen so far is Cloud's appearance. Yes, he is rather thin and his skin looks more unhealthy than usual. From the interview, it seems Nomura wanted him to look abnormal. I personally find his appearance more fitting to his story. True to the Remake title, Nomura also wanted design change for Barret as well. Will look forward to see how the rest of the characters look. The battle system also is Remade, but Nomura hasn't given us too many details about the battle system. ATB and Limit Breaks are still in the system. From the interview it seems he wants to take his experience with Kingdom Hearts, and Dissidia into the FF7 battle system. Another thing that has people stirred up about is the announcement of it being in multiple parts. People have taken this to mean it will be episodic like the Telltale games, but others have defended it saying the original was in 3 parts each in one disc. Nomura explained this decision that it would be too big for one release, and would mean cutting things outs. Its basically like The Hobbit movie where they turned the book into 3 movies instead of one. They don't want to make a nostalgic game and it seems mostly targeted to people who haven't played the original. They plan to make the story have surprises for those who knew the original. This bit is a little concerning, but it makes sense though it could just mean they're just expanding it due to the sequels and spin offs. When I look back on the original, I think of certain scenes that would look rather silly in the realistic graphics of today.
I don't expect the game to be perfect because nothing is perfect. The original game, its sequels and spin offs weren't perfect. Expecting perfection would only ruin the game for you and that is your own doing.
The producer of of the remake is also the producer of Final Fantasy Mobius, the mobile game. They announced a collaboration of it and the remake for this month.
The event has a few new regions: Midgar, and Mako reactors. You must clear the reactors in order to proceed in Midgar. The event is being released into parts on the 6th, 12th, and 18 of this month. You will also get Masamune when you login. During the event you can get multiple Masamunes which will increase its stats as well as Aerith outfit Echo.
As for cards, there are 2 Cloud and Barret cards, Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie from the Remake teaser. You get them at the Lucky 7 3,000 magicite gacha at the card shop. Each draw you get 7 cards with one guarantee to be one of the Remake cards. There is also a new job card, Soldier 1st which include Cloud's soldier outfit and Buster Sword from the teaser. The cards and job are only available during the event so be sure to get them!
