Well I mean, saying someone has never "seen" Final Fantasy VII is kind of a pointless thing to say, as the remake might differ greatly. You might be seeing two different games based on the same world from two totally separate generations. Like I still play PS1 games. So if I decide to pass on the remake due to garbage episodic structure or gameplay decisions I may or may not agree with, are you saying I did not really "play" Final Fantasy VII? I have seen Final Fantasy VII on Playstation, which is the version we are talking about. Trying to drag imagination into a discussion about visuals just kills all credibility to arguments you may have had. And trying to use another current gen reimagining to back it up is asinine. By your logic, I can say "even less people have seen Ocarina of Time, because they have not even remade it on current gen machines yet" and be just as valid. I get what you are trying to say, I do. But what you don't get is that the point you are trying desperately to make has no place in a discussion comparing an N64 and a PS1 game. Imagination, which is subject, does not change the objective visual quality provided by the tech in any game. That is just not how it works. Just my two cents. |
I agree. Anyone who played FFVII back in the 90s, already "saw" the game, to say other wise is to actually discredit the original game which ironically they were trying to defend.
The remake looks spectacular for 2020, but the episodic content thing, and perhaps if it doesn't play like it should could hurt it. I think the Remake has big shoes to fill, and I doubt it will have the same impact that the original had in 1997.
If I doesn't get above a 90 metacritc reception, the Original will still be the one most people remember when talking about ATG games.
