Kinda pissed tbh, set it to download early this morning and then our internet went out 10 minutes later until like an hour ago because the main line got cut somewhere.

I played it and I love it. Think they made it super easy because it's an active tutorial now for the most part and it wasn't in the past. But I like the control scheme and found myself flipping characters and issuing commands on the fly with ease by the time the boss battle rolled around.
Played it in classic mode, will try one of the others tomorrow. I think classic is it's own thing, there is no difficulty level adjustment for it. Swear I read that in a dev interview awhile back. Really, really pretty game though. Cinematic quality shit. Sound was also good. But the best moment in the demo for me came after I won a battle and Barrett channeled his inner Beavis and Butthead and hummed out the old FF battle victory theme. That just gave me the warm and fuzzies and made my winkum pulsate a tad in my panties. |

Well I hope classic is a little harder come full release, gonna try the other way tomorrow like I said, but I really liked the feel of classic mode. Its the mesh of the old atb and new active systems from 13 on that Ive been looking for.

Sounds promising. However, even though it's slated to drop on my birthday, I will still wait until everything is said and done and buy it all when it's finished, no matter how many years that may take.

Eh. It's possible. Would fairly well depend on how Squeenix feels about milking the early adopters as opposed to milking everyone. Given it's Final Fantasy 7, with all the nostalgia and hype that entails, they could just as easily charge pretty much full retail on each part of the bundle, making it cost nearly as much as the next next gen consoles, and people will still buy it up. In any case, by that time, they will have made a fucking mint off of a piecemeal remake of a game that came out in '97.

It would have to be multiple blurays. No way its just $60. I think youd could sell it at $80 but $100 seems more reasonable.

I would have no issue with them selling it for 100 if they presented it as some kind of collectors thing. Steelbook case with or some other nice alternate case, maybe a little book and a meteor/shinra key chain or something.

Mind you I am the guy that imported the japanese blu-ray version of advent children back in the day just so I could get the japanese FFXIII demo a year before the game came out over here lol
That is to say I eat final fantasy up. Especially anything to do with 7. Or 6,8 and 10 for that matter. |

Classic auto blocks moves and does standard attack if you sit idle while you wait for your ATB to.fill. i believe this was locked to easy to hide the fact that on normal (or higher) this will not be viable

I played, I might cancel the pre-order and wait for the whole ball of wax and if they decide to do changes down the road.
Selected classic mode thinking it would have been a refined style of turn-based combat. Instead, classic is just Final Fantasy 15 combat. Button mash away and/or automatic combat. On the graphics end, it's purrrrrrrdy. I wish it was a longer demo. End with the escape and not tease the stuff coming up with just a promo vid. And, I'll reiterate, although I've heard it, $60 for a partial game is a big ask. |

Seems Square Enix is rethinking their development plans for this game due to how long it took to get the first part out on the market.
Future parts or episodes might be smaller in content in order to shorten up the dev time and prevent big gaps between releases. Although the director for the project also hinted it might just end up being three parts as has been rumored for a long while. Quote:

No shit?
It's as if Midgar was a tiny slice of the game. There is such a metric shit ton of content for them to produce. How did they NOT see this coming, or at least have planned for this in some form before now?! Curious as to the "endgame" as well in regards to returning to various areas. Once you were able to travel to Meteror, you could essentially fly your airship wherever the fuck you wanted. Are they going to have the whole world available? |

Doubt it, RPGs nowdays usually introduce a fast travel system that takes you from location to location

Point stands. Are they going to have every location available to be fast traveled to?
Just saying..... that's a LOT of work. |

Gotta imagine theyre gonna streamline/subvert somethings... next game will probably cover up to aeris's death? then one more to finish it out? if they split the games remaining locations between the two it probably wouldnt be that bad. also its not like theyre gonna design the game in the same way where its worthwhile to go back to places... idk
just wouldnt expect chocobo breeding, sunken gelnika n all that... sidequests are mostly fluff |

Im thinking at this point that the rest of the story eill come as fairly large sized DLC packs that function kind of like episodes but are based on the core of the first game. That way it will be all one game in the end and the whole world will be available.

I was thinking they would probably have a world map to reference, with pre-selected locations you can go to. That way, it just has to load that part of the world.
But then you miss out on quite a bit if you can't actually traverse the world map. Bet the Golden Saucer is going to be fun as fuck |

There were some things that weren't accessible until the endpoint. Not "necessary" events, but things like Ruby and Emerald weapons. Chocobo breeding is how you get Knights of the Round Table. Sunken Gelnika has the summon Death, as well as some mime materia, iirc. I played this game way too much. |
