Question for those that played it, if I thought FFXV showcased what potential Square was capable of but was an incredibly disappointing game (completely disagreed with the reviews as the game wasn't dinged enough for how chopped up it was at the end), would it be more of the same for FFVII Remake?
XV well deserved the scores it got.
But VII Remake should aim for higher. XV was originally dragged down because the team had to fix the absolute mess that Nomura left in that project, and they also had to develop the Engine alongside the game. Square's management didn't give the final team enough time to work (And yet the game was good enough to score in the 80's).
VII Remake was created used a proven Engine, and it was given a proper development cycle, and it also had the blueprints of the original game to work with. The team was not working based on a bunch of cutscenes and designs made by Nomura which didn't fit together, like Versus XIII/XV did. This project was given full priority, a big enough time, a great Engine and enough years.
VII Remake should rightfully be a more polished product than what XV was at launch. There is no excuse this time.
