@metaphysician The reason anyone whines or complains about Remake and Rebirth and the upcoming third game is because they are selfish, ignorant, sobbing crying little manchildren who can't cope with their toxic nostalgia being even minorly altered in any way, These people are ironic only in the fact that they're actually being less mature than actual children today about the entire thing. The new remake trilogy is absolutely phenomenal, end of story.

It is 100% just a very very slightly tweaked, if changed at all, version of the Steam release from before. And "to provide a better experience" is just their way of saying they're doing this to make the 7th Heaven mod launcher and all of it's mods incompatible.

There is only one reason they're doing this, and it's to keep people from using the many, many mods available to make FF7 look and feel better.

Square-Enix has routinely been making "updates" to things like the Pixel Remaster, which only updates shuffling the position of assets around so that the mods break. That's all this is, and anyone expecting anything different is in for some huge disappointment when they find that this is nearly identical in features and looks to the prior version, but shuffled around and rendered in a new engine that makes mods no longer work. Square-Enix has a long-standing vendetta against the modding scene. This is absolutely 100% the only reason they did this, nd the only real change you're going to notice. Mods will be broken and 7th Heaven mod launcher will no longer work.

He was always walking human scum. The fact that this is his opinion is the least surprising thing in the universe.

So... are we still pretending that Ecco The Dolphin was ever good in the first place? Or have we all grown up and gotten over that shared delusion, already?

"Mario looks like a biker dude with that 'stache...Oh well, still looks better than it did on N64"

Who led this putz on to wrongly believe he has a place to express any opinions on this?

This roster is really bizarre, right? Not a one of these characters are who I think of as marquee characters at all when I think of Square-Enix. Also why is it not titled Capcom vs Square-Enix?

Like, where is Cloud, Tifa, Terra, Squall, Vivi, Erdrick, Sora, Primrose, Duran, Angela, Riesz, Randi, Primm, Aya Brea, Fei Fong Wong, Adam Jensen, Welch Vineyard, Agnès Oblige, Neku Sakuraba, or literally anyone else that would be associated with Square-Enix more importantly or that anyone might actually care about?

" I'm not interested in a "switch" itself. I am interested in the darkness that is illuminated by the light that it turns on."

........I don't know if he was actually TRYING to sound profound or meaningful with that or something, but that is legitimately the stupidest and most idiotic answer to an honest question I have ever heard in my life.

This is one of those responses to something that you'd expect from a fictional character in some kind of comedy movie. That ranks up there with "These go to 11" from Spinal Tap in terms of absurdly useless answers to a question that has ever been asked to anyone's face.

@AlienX "The 90s were riddled with ugly character designs for western cartoons,"

This is exactly the kind of awful opinion that I'll just run into reading and makes me feel legitimately ill for even having to see those words arranged this way.

His take on fan-translations is "interesting". He seems to be under the impression that they are trying to, want to, or care about getting actual permission from Sega to do it. It really shows just how disconnected Japanese developers are from the slightest semblance of understanding overseas fan culture, or the translation or modding scene in general. From everything that's been known, it feels like Japanese game developers are completly unaware of unofficial modding scenes, and if they could comprehend them or seemed to understand that fans are doing this illegally and don't care if they have permission or not, they wouldn't approve. It also feels like this is an indirect admission that the results of fan-translation and modding scenes ARE hurting the developer side, or at least causing friction between developers and company executives, primarily if they even get the slightest whiff that they're even remotely tied to supporting any modding effort, they'll get in trouble or blacklisted for sure.

@KingMike Why not? They were able to do that with Konami and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games. AND Konami was extremly forthcoming with every bit of concept art they had in their vaults for the games, too!

@Johnny_Arthur That was not needed. That isn't what this hack is. It's not what this hack is intended to do. When someone does make a hack that adds some sprite swaps for the Powered Up characters, you can judge that for doing what THAT was intended to do. This is entirely unrelated and very much worth paying attention to for what it IS intending to do. If you want to wait, keep waiting. But don't act like this has no merit just because it's not something you would rather have. It's like posting on a story about a someone uncovering a secret Mortal Kombat prototype with Jean Claude Van-Damme in it and commenting "Ok, but what about Mega Man Legends 3?" Ok. What about it? That's not exactly what the topic calls for.
