i haven't played the ff7 remakes so this might be totally off base, but...

is it just me, or do the games feel poisoned with goofy shit? like i know the original ff7 has its own fair share of funny stuff, as all JRPGs do really, but the remakes seem like they take those moments and then REALLY stretch them out.

i see people comparing it to yakuza sometimes. call me crazy but i don't think final fantasy should be compared to yakuza of all things :pepeFacepalm:

@beardalaxy
The remakes are fanfiction rewrites that have retconned the entire story, and adjusted characters designs and writing styles to pander to westerners.

@Hephaestic @beardalaxy nonsense, fanfiction writers usually love the source material, this is more like localization with more localization on top

@Hephaestic @beardalaxy and I'll take a thousand of "this guy are sick" over westerners trying to be witty on someone else's IP
