How does the social media portion of steam affect you if you don’t participate?

Something something AI BAD, didn’t read.

As someone who has searched hard, there is no high quality replacement.

This “crowded market” meme for hero shooters gotta go.

The main reason this game flopped is its ugly character designs. People are willing to pay money for a good game. But when you purposely make the designs hilariously ugly, this is what you get.

We gotta move away from this trend.

Eh I agree with the reasonable takes here. Nothing wrong with generating that sort of stuff until it starts resembling the likeliness of a real living person. Then I think it’s just creepy; especially if for some reason you are sharing it 💀

I for one am hyped. Having played the original 7, rebirth to me is seriously crazy good. The sheer amount of content packed into the game is astounding and it’s what I dreamed 7 would be like as a kid.

If anyone’s thinking of grabbing it - don’t let moronic internet comments dissuade you, if you like FF at all this is easily one of the best of all time.

You’ll be downvoted but you are objectively correct

Yeah I will never not dislike Ubisoft games on principle

I enjoyed it. This game for most people will land between a 7/10 to a 9/10. The music, story, and combat were all excellent for me but make no mistake. There are deep deep flaws in this game, especially on the “rpg” side of things.

1. Using FFXVs open world as an excuse to make this game zone based makes no sense after playing it. The benefit of zones is that you get to add dense content to these hand crafted maps but the zones in this game are far more uninteresting and dead than XV since they basically did nothing interesting with them.

2. The party system is just horrible. Yes Torgal is a good boy and all but the parts where you had two additional party members made the game feel so much more alive. Even from a gameplay perspective they took aggro away from you and contributed dps. Having large sections of the game where you’re alone with just Torgal is so bad and even thematically makes no sense.

3. I don’t get why they couldn’t add even basic shit like elemental advantage/disadvantage. FF7R already shows you can do this. It’s just plain lazy and using the excuse of “it makes the game harder” is baffling.

4. Locking the hard difficulty behind NG+ is such a poor way of padding out a game. It’s already statistically proven a vast majority of players don’t even bother NG+ and locking something thing like that behind a 40 hour grind is sad. I much would’ve preferred having a hard difficulty on my first play through.

Ultimately I’ve come to terms that most of the things I don’t like in this game are design decisions they brought in from FFXIV (zones, no elemental affinity, lack of party, most side quests, etc). 95% of the things I did enjoy were game mechanics not from XIV. It’s clear to me that their approach to game design from their time as MMO devs do not compliment this game. The more they stepped away from it, the better it got. But the parts that doubled down on it were very lackluster.

Criticisms aside, this game is still a 9/10 for me and sets up good ground work for their next game. And if it makes anyone feel better here, CBU3 are usually very aware of criticisms and I’m sure they’ll address it one way or another.

15 is so cheap for what this game offers. Would’ve gladly payed double.

RuneScape leaving that shithole website was the best thing to ever happen. Same with Terraria. Hope it works out.

I played every season and dropped it for good on this one. There is no coming back for this game, time to move on, folks.
