I thought of doing the same, but everytime I pre-order a game (pre-ordered the First Class Edition), it never arrives on time for release day. So I’ll wait until I receive it before booking some vacation days to fully immerse myself into it. Can’t wait. But some aspects of it worry me a little. Like how they altered the moments you get summon materia. Like Choco/Mog that you’re supposed to get at the chocobo farm after getting out of Midgar... But since the game is longer, it’s probably better this way. Just as long as they don’t sacrifice anything for the subsequent parts because they made features that are supposed to come much later and included them too early, all’s good I guess. But it’s really just a minor nitpick, and only really bothering me because I remember the original very well. It is by far me most anticipated game. So I’m really not making that big of a deal over this. What I’ve seen so far looks really good and it seems like Kitase and co are really pouring their heart into this one. |
I'm not so worried about any changes I've seen so far, like you mention, this game is far longer than the original so getting a few summons in Midgar is probably for the best. I think we'll see more materia available and some new skills too, since originally most of your good limits/materia would be after Midgar.
I think the one thing I want some clarification on is how new parts will connect, if at all i.e. will we carry over progress, will we be able to re-visit areas from a previous part? It isn't a deal breaker, but I'd like to know.
