I'll admit I kinda feel similar. I was really liking it. It was grounded similarly to the original. At least until it went all
Yup for all the hate Toriyama gets here...his cutscene direction is always amazing.
Yeah I find this so bizarre. If you want to pan him for the ending in the same breath you also have to give him kudos if you enjoyed the rest of the game - which is pretty much the majority of it. The final chapters felt a little incongruous with what comes before and feel free to criticise it, but to scapegoat Nomura as the person who apparently 'ruined' the game is ridiculous.
The would make sense with Nomura other credit, Concept Design.
It's all just building up to a paid Retcon DLC, that we will all love. After you play that, you will see. FFVII resumes as expected, they just wanted to get our expectations in a blender.
As long as we keep getting "Nomura is bad" games we're gonna keep getting "Nomura is bad" threads
That's not what the person you quoted is saying. Nomura was doing great until he added the time traveling ghosts and possible parallel universes. They didn't need to do that and it drags the game down for many people. They're disappointed that Nomura/Kitase had it almost in the bag but then threw it away due to lack of confidence in the material. If anything I'd imagine that the rest of the game being so good makes the stuff that drags it down all that harder to swallow. It's like a carrot dangling in front of you and just as you almost grab it ghosts swoop in and drag it away and you fall into a parallel timeline where carrots don't exist.
Don't agree that Nomura's take is bad or that he shat the bed.
Worldlines,timetravel, Destiny already ruined one of my franchises I liked by the guy lol.
could not have said it better....game starts out great....and then norumas storytelling kicks in the end :(
It never ends up working because even if it "works" it kills any believability of any character drama or any stakes going forward. You've opened pandora's box. Anything can happen because if someone dies or something goes bad, if the hero wins or if the villain dies, it can all be legally retconned on the terms of the storytelling's own paramters: Time travel. Anything that has happened can be un-happened and it will be canon, all of it. It effectively means nothing particular will happen in the end, and everything is the same.
All you need to do is give Toriyama his own project with no solid script to pre-base it on, and you will hate him again.
What does that matter. I hate when y'all do that on here who cares! More ppl liking it don't stop the ppl from not liking it? Same way ppl can yell omg greatest thing ever those ppl should be able to dish out why they think it's not
Incredibly stupid, oversimplistic handwaiving of the entire reason that so many people are unhappy with the choices made with, specifically, the ending. But sure, it sounds nice when you phrase it like that, so it's easy to believe itQuite honestly, Maximillian already answered this thread for me so i'll just leave his words here...
Well people are always going to blaming or crediting the director for better or worse a lot of the times.
Quite honestly, Maximillian already answered this thread for me so i'll just leave his words here...
To be fair this is a little piece of the VOD, so if you want his detailed thoughts just check the ending of the VOD he even checks Eurogamer video that touches on disagreement on the game. Mind you ending of the VOD is quite hefty.
Which is strange because the strongest aspect of the original game is the story and the character interactions. These stupid fucking ghosts ruin both the plot and some of the strongest moments from the game. Just feels like a huge slap in the face, as I was really looking forward to experiencing this game fully voice acted with modern graphics. But the fucked it up :(
Everyone is wrong when they're outside the group think to people, and it's not exclusive to here sadly.
I watched the whole thing live. He kept dismissing dissent as "purists not liking change" when that's not the issue for most people not happy with the changes. People aren't upset just because they changed things; they're upset that the changes are really really dumb and poorly executed.
