As I was discussing with Paradigm when he brought it up on Twitter, the only thing I’d really change with FF7R is the goddamn interface for upgrading weapons. SE just seems to love these graphically impressive but highly clunky interfaces for skill trees.
I would’ve liked it they used the classic UI and classic menu sound FX just to give it that old school feel. But that’s just personal preference on my part, I like the current UI, just took a sec to get used to
Just signed up for Xbox Game Pass for $1 for the month just so I could play the new Ori game.
I’m in Hojos lab. Almost there. Getting pretty hype. Took a few minute to check out Clouds future bike in the Lobby lol.
I’m really hype for Rufus boss fight. His fight in the original alone made me a big fan of his so I’m excited to see what they did for the remake. The new Reno fights where dope.
Echoing HD Mans sentiments about the menu sounds I would like a classic music option just to have it. New music’s dope but the old tracks are great to.
Rick May, the Voice actor of Peppy Hare and Andross for Star Fox 64 has passed away due to covid-19.

Better be teaching god how to do a barrel roll.
He also voiced one of my favorite classes in TF2…the soldier.
Rest in peace Mr. May.
So I beat it. Spoilers of course
Summary
damn. This game was so fucking good, like for real it was amazing.
About the ending, I’m not sure I’m understanding what the time travel thing people were saying is about. Unless it’s post credits there is no time travel. It’s more of an alternate future type of setting. I’m like 99% sure the future games will NOT just be remakes of the original story. Even if it follows similar beats I’d be willing to bet money that this time we’ll be able to save Aerith. I don’t think the story will even end the same.
I’m ok with this though. I think it’s interesting to try a new story. It almost seems as if the original will be treated as the fate that’s supposed to happen, and the remakes will be an alternate universe. I don’t think it specifically has to do with time travel at all.
Also, BIGGS!
Fixed
Your spoilers arent in spoilers
Edit: you got it. For a minute I was like AHHHHH MY EYEEEESSS
Sorry bro lol
Only thing I want to say is I don’t think there’s any time travel at all, I’m not sure why people were saying there was.
Switch firmware gets update allowing button remapping
Extra
Maybe we’ll get a DLC update for classic menu and music in the future if there’s a demand for it. Hopefully free, but Id be willing to pay too
EDIT: I heard RE2 remake actually had the feature, don’t quote me on it
Same, long as they don’t go full SE and charge too much for it. $5 for classic menu sound effects!!!
So I unlocked hard mode.
Basically you can’t use items and rest benches only restore HP, not MP. But there are texts(the skill point ones I’m guessing) that you can only get while playing hard. You select it by going to the chapter select you unlock for your completed file and then select hard mode. Since it’s with a completed file you actually keep all characters and such as is regardless of the story mission. Pretty cool.
Oh shit triple AP now lol
Also more simulator missions and you can skip the bike minigame portions now
RE2 definitely has that feature as DLC, just saw some vids on youtube. Cmon Square, take my money lol (but at a reasonable price)
If they feeling froggy, throw in the PSone polygon models as unlockable costumes. I think in Mario Oddessey, u could unlock the N64 model
Ah, you also unlock play records. Took me 50 hrs and 23 min to do like 80% of everything.
And apparently the girls have multiple dresses?!
RE2R let’s you play as as Leon and Claire’s original polygon models to as DLC costumes.
Yes actually they do. I figured this out when Madame M talks about Aerith getting the dress you deserve based on how helpful you have been to the people of Wall Market.
The side quests?
Yes.
Ah I see, I guess I’ll have to try it without doing them this time lol
