      I've never played the Witcher. Can someone give more details about why the sidequests are better? imho, sidequests should be either getting powerful stuff through difficult challenges or going in depth into the lore to understand the world better and get more sense of immersion. Combination of both is the best.

      @xMawkKnightx 6 месяцев назад +12

      ​@@amidaobscura​While you do get good items in the witcher via side quests, they're more interesting because they act as more mini stories. Some go deeper into the lore while others are just really good side stories. Some last a while, too. But yeah, they're mostly known for their well written stories.

    • @roxal13
      @roxal13 6 месяцев назад +6

      some sidequest can influence the main story as well, as the sidequest can have multiple endings, that can change the outcome of a character, they probably won't get that far, but the witcher is good for having every important sidequest feel unique and important, that sometimes you don't even realize that they are optional@@amidaobscura

My child hood game that I got into on a win in 1997 after reading games master magazine and rating it 9/10, I was 9 in 1997, a bit young to play the game to it full extent. The game had me hooked for years I never finished the game until I was in my early teens (thanks to the official guide book) The original is responsible for a whole ps1 memory card with a total of 600+hours at least and that’s being modest. I did wonder as a child playing the game with the cgi moments in the game if it would ever be remade when I’m in my 30’s or 40’s and “squaresoft” only gone and bloody done it!!!!

Also it's just awesome to see SE taking care of the fans and bringing FF7 back in max quality like this. I mean think about how good FF7R looked on the PS4 PRO before we got the 60fps PS5 version, can't wait to see the world come to life in Rebirth on the PS5.

    While Aerith Gainsborough is interesting, especially since Gainsborough means "a clever/crafty person from the city" which works since she's introduced as a streetwise character. But consider that her birth name is Aerith Faremis. Now whether you want to say that Faremis, means Family Restaurant (Fami Resu) or (Farimus) Latin for Lighthouse is up to you.

    i recently replayed FF7 and got a gold chocobo, and was shocked with how fast you can actually do it. a lot of old guides say you have to rank every chocobo you mate to S rank in the arena, but really you need to only win a few races with one of the chocobos. you can grind a gold chocobo in less than 2 hours.
    of course...when i was a kid it took weeks!

    29:05 - it’s gonna be Requiem. That’s my theory! If they didn’t use Reunion for the Crisis Core remake, then I’d have said that. But since a lot of people are likely to perish in Rebirth, a Requiem in part 3 seems most fitting.

    • @ThatBillmanGuy

      But Requeim doesn't fit with the scheme "Remake" and "Rebirth" do, and they've specifically said the word would match with those two.

    I feel like you could have all of your save data carry over (items, materia, equipment, etc.) without ruining the feeling of Rebirth. The only thing that would affect it would be the level you transfer with, but that can immediately be scaled upon recognition of carried over data. It could be enabled in the settings menu before starting the game or make it function only on medium or higher difficulties. If you're playing the game on easy, your either a new player or just playing to enjoy the story, in which case neither is affected by save data or being a higher level.
    If you've completed the game, it starts you are level 10 or 15 instead of level 1. Additionally, the enemy levels/difficulty would scale with that as well. Enemies could have levels just like the player. Each area can be labeled as a "zone", and each zone can have enemies within a certain threshold of levels/difficulty. The starting area would remain low level (1-5) and the surrounding zones would be a higher level (5-10); additionally, the zones further from the starting area would be higher.
    With save data, the starting zone remains the same to let the player get back into the combat system and learn new mechanics that would be implemented, but the zone would immediately adjust to a higher difficulty. So if you player starts with save data and is given the "completion level" of 10, the first zone will be level 1-5 enemies, and the surrounding areas will spawn enemies at level 10-15 to maintain some level of difficulty but giving the player the overall edge since they would have strong equipment and items to carry them through it.

    Knowing the original FF7 OG and Crises Core made FF7 Remake much better for me because I could pick up on all these little clues of dialogue with multiple meanings. You could tell Aerith and Sephiroth had something very different going on with them. I also remember being on the edge of my seat at the end when they showed Zacks's last stand and just yelling ARE THEY GOING TO CHANGE IT???? WHAT'S HAPPENING! Without that context, those moments probably would have been confusing and I wouldn't have overthought about it.

    • @gabszz
      @gabszz 6 месяцев назад +2

      I agree, but I see some people saying that playing crisis core ruins the whole experience of the remake, and that everything about zack will be explained in rebirth, I disagree with those people because even on remake the writers are changing the story and plot points, the remake is more like a reboot/sequel than a one one faithful remake. I doubt that zack backstory will be explained in rebirth that is why crisis core reunion was release before rebirth, and That is why characters are having flashes of events of the OG FF7 like is another time line. Story and plot points will be even more different in rebirth since zack is alive in another timeline that obviously will clash with the remake Reboot events timeline.

    Witcher 3 basically has three tiers of quests, main quests, side quests and 'witcher contracts' aka monster hunts. It stands out because the side quests are good enough to be main quests in most games and even the monster hunts, which could easily have just been FF quality 'go and kill 3 bugs'. are well written and contain mysteries, detective work, plot twists etc. They really set a very high bar for Open World RPG sidequests on that game, but it is hopeful that they cited that as inspiration to do better.

    I was never expecting save transfers as the games release, but I do hope some day they release a package that seamlessly weaves all 3 games together, and re-calibrates everything into one continuous progression system.
    Also, I have always found it interesting that FF6 has never gotten a 3D remake, when 3, 4, 5, and now 7 have. Seeing his love for FF6, I wonder if they're thinking about a big budget remake. This team is very successful so there must be some idea on what to do after part 3. Advent Children the game? A totally fresh FF7 sequel? FF XVIII? If not, do you look to other PS1 titles like FF8 or 9? I think there is an argument to be made for FF6 Remake being their next project. It has arguably the best glow up potential in its sound track. It's often praised as one of the heights of the franchise, and of the platform it was on. It has the biggest cast. Imagine if they gave it a story, plot, and script glow up like they did for FF7. It would be a massive 2-map open world adventure. Perhaps in 2 parts.

    We have heard a lot of "Re-something" about the future name of the third game. But there's one name that could make sense to the main theme of Final fantasy 7 that is "the memories".
    As the name if linked to the story itself, my guess is that they will call the final game FINAL FANTASY VII - REMINISCENCE (which was also the name of the bonus into the Advent Children Complete movie).
