Wow, I went in on the remake blind (having never played the original before) and shrugged off the whole Whisper thing as another element of the world that makes little sense to me yet. That’s actually a very interesting idea and I wish I had played the original first to get to appreciate it.
Thanks for the explanation!
You seem to have liked the remake (and the game in general). I have finished the first one last year but for some reason, it didn’t click with me and the whole commentary you made wooshed over me (unless your whole text is satire). Are there some pointers you could give me to understand FF7 a bit better?
I found it frustrating by NFS standards (grew up with Underground 2, Most Wanted, etc.).
The story is lame as it is poorly written and has no character development. Races are OK except drag (because there are sprint races thrown in it but you carve corners with your drag-prepped rides). Vehicles, when bought, are tired to one type of race and are upgraded (performance wise) via a system that is basically lootboxy and make no mechanical sense. Be ready to buy a turbo that improves your braking, for instance.
Quite frankly, for a modern NFS arcade experience, you’re better off with Heat.
So like, late 2027 for PC gaming?
