So, at what point are you going to realize that the target audience of FF7 is the very people who owned those blogs back in the 2000s?

...By the way, it wasn't Myspace in the early 2000s, it was Livejournal. Myspace was mid 2000s. At least try to hide the fact you're a zoomer.

You are correct, the writing is fan fic level because the core target audience either likes fan fic or is just here for the characters in HD and doesn't care about a good story. It's been their target audience since they started making bad mainline spinoffs like x-2

I guess Steins;Gate, Re:Zero, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy VIII, Nier:Automata, and so forth are also terrible fanfic writing by your standards. That is why they, and this game, make millions and you do not.

Know what is really cringe? Not only your comment but that you literally used "super le epic fight" as a phrase and also referenced MySpace.

Keep in mind you are trying to reason common sense of how merging of multiple dimensions/realities works while assuming it will be "normal".

How this guy who is clearly not from the SNES generation casually drops Chrono Trigger, Sakaguchi and Yuji Horii's JRPG masterpiece, into a list of games like that...man that is something.

Chrono trigger has time traveling, just it's actually done well for a few obvious reasons:

1) the time traveling in Chrono trigger is integral to the gameplay and the plot, unlike in this game, where it's just shoehorned in vaguely, mostly at an end game exposition dump that makes little sense because it's an intentional and lazy cliffhanger

2) the plot of Chrono trigger is an original plot that isn't trying to "reboot" a thirty year old game by making it into kingdom hearts

3) the plot of Chrono trigger takes places across, you guessed it, one single game. It isn't stretched out with filler across three separate multi generational full price games...


Not even gonna engage with that guy seeing the fights he gets into on here, but gotta just drop this comment to defend my boy Chrono

dude hasn't played game, he probably parroting some gamerbro "ree SBI" youtuber ;p

The crazy thing too is the people defending this game so much on here are actually harming square enix in the long run. SE keeps losing customers over all the questionable things they do as a company and they need to change their strategies big time if they want to win customers. Three million sold for FF16 seems like a bad financial result for them considering how much they spent on that game including its VA and marketing campaigns. Development cost then $59 million and I'm not sure if that includes marketing?

Anyone trying to cheer SE on to make more of the same is cheering on their gradual financial decline.

Not only is this wrong, but FF7 Remake/Rebirth is a masterpiece compared to the actual mess that is Chrono Trigger's sequels. Which by the way, the second of which involves an extremely convoluted multiverse plot.

Stop LARPing. It's really obvious you're a right wing zoomer trying to kick up drama, because you don't like that this game isn't SUPER EDGELORD WRIST CUTTING SIMULATOR 9000.

You lot overplayed your hand already. Pretending to be something else isn't going to work.

Their stock price is reaching peaks it hasn't had since 2020, and it is 5 times higher than it was in 2011. Maybe it's the people trashing SE that have it wrong ?

Maybe stop listening to gamerbro youtubers man. They're cultivating your anger for financial incentive.

so like cloud and zack get sucked into an alternate dimension to fight sephiroth in a super le epic fight. this ♥♥♥♥ is like some fanfic some idiot wrote in a myspace blog back in the early 2000s

You are a man in his 30s expecting poignant writing in a children's anime game.

I don't see any minuses.

Also Myspace did not exist back then, kid
