I'm absolutely in love with the remakes. Exactly what I wanted out of them and more.
I don't know why so many people wanted a shot for shot remake. It being different enough allows me to be a kid again like I'm playing for the first time not knowing what's going to happen. I wish more remakes took this route.
I'm still always going to play the original on a regular basis, and now I have more games in the remakes to do the same to, instead of the remake just replacing the original.
I've always loved every bit of FFVII media so I'm heavily biased, but even my girlfriend who hadn't got into it prior to being with me has loved the remakes. She really enjoyed crisis core too (a personal favourite of mine as well) and almost attempted to 100% it, insane :') haha
I just don't want this half-assed combat. If they wanted to make this an action game, go full action and give us a DMC-like experience. If they want it to be an RPG, either stick to classic turn-based or iterate in some way that isn't a shitty compromised half-step between two things, don't give us this shallow Kingdom Hearts-like (but worse) half & half. I guess I'm in the minority on this but I personally find action RPG hybrid combat systems almost always unsatisfying; very few games offer me something that doesn't feel like a cheapened knock off of some better game style.
I hard disagree on it being half assed completely. It's a really good fresh take on party combat in real time that isn't just ai fighting alongside you whilst also being able to take a breather for actual tactical choices.
I would not want this game to have been action only line kh. Even though I love kh, but that would not have been ff7. And if they just went full turn based then I don't think It's have liked it as much. To be they've really pioneered a new and really good way of doing combat in an rpg. I want more of this.
Also you describing this combat system as kh-lite makes me feel like you haven't spent that much time with either these games or kh. They couldn't be any more different.
I'm not saying it's exactly KH, I'm saying it's in the action-rpg hybrid combat genre like KH. I don't enjoy either of their combat. As for my experience, I completed the first KH game and I'm like 90% through FFVII remake, but it is a fucking chore every single time combat happens. I think basically all action-rpg crossover combat is shallow. I want them to give me either a fully satisfying action experience or a fully satisfying RPG combat experience, stop dicking around in this dumb compromise space
Strange. I really think the fact it's a hybrid gives it a lot of depth it otherwise wouldn't have on either end of the spectrum. Remake itself does feel very bare bones compared to rebirth now though. Maybe you'd have more fun out of that.
The only real complaint I have with remakes combat is fighting airborne enemies with characters without ranged. Which rebirth (and intermission) fixes completely
