They already said CC is not mandatory. It's just some zack backstory and nothing was altered from the original.Play crisis core first of all.
I'll watch a quick recap of the first remake before starting Rebirth. I cannot play that snorefest again.
As for the original FF7, I feel that's best kept as a nostalgic memory of a perfect game, like it feels in my head. I don't wanna risk getting the feeling that it hasn't aged all that well.
Yeah. You don't have to play the original the Remake is designed to stand on it's own.Of course it can. As I've said. I played original midgard in 2023 and it's bit for bit all in the remake + much much more.
The story ghosts and ending being the only difference. Nothing major and very easy to understand in remake without playing the original.
It's too late to play original. Spoilers will be too fresh in his/or my mind and comparison to rebirth will be to clear.
And it's juts a clunk of a game to play in 2024 without that nostalgia... it's got it's charm but you really gotta be in the deep old clunk mood
I remember loving the snowboard stuff!The only parts of the OG that haven’t aged well are all the shitty minigames. You forget just how many, and how bad they were.
Why would you play CC first? First of all it has a lot of extra boring stuff like characters in red outfits, but even further it literally spoils aspects of FF VII that are meant to be revelations of sorts when playing it.Play crisis core first of all.
Playing hrough original midgar after remake was dredful for me.
it has some charm to it but it's almost unplayable without nostalgia
One of remake problems is it's pacing, true. But if you get into it, it is enjoyable.Nothing wrong with feeling that way, but I don't really see how with the exception of Wall Market the whole thing is zip from location > location > location and is pretty brisk in terms of pace. I kind of feel the opposite.. "Thank god I don't have to deal with the extended train graveyard."
AT least for me makes sense and I enjoyed cc a lot!Why would you play CC first? First of all it has a lot of extra boring stuff like characters in red outfits, but even further it literally spoils aspects of FF VII that are meant to be revelations of sorts when playing it.
Watch a YouTube video on the original for the story. No point in playing an ancient game.I'm honestly so torn on this,
I know the remake iterates and makes a bunch of references to the 1997 original. Should I make the effort to play that first or are people over exaggerating?
Part of the draw to me was non turn based full on action in the remake. Am I really missing out by skipping the OG?
Play the original and never touch the turd remake is also a valid option.
Play crisis core first of all.
