I can’t imagine many people who haven’t tried Final Fantasy are going to play this. This seems like a game for super fans only.
FWIW, the last FF game I tried was FF7 in the early 2000s. Bounced off of it in ~40 minutes. I had only played cRPGs and I never really tried any JRPGs (nothing wrong with them, they just not for me).
That being said, I am actually considering trying the original FF7 with mods one of these days.
I played the original one in '98 or '99, but never beat it. Went back to it later in my late 20s or early 30s and was even more frustrated by the camera and controls as well as some other things. I basically never played the non-MMO titles that followed due to a combination of being poor/busy and just not liking 7. Getting into MMOs and having loved the first handful of FF games was the only reason I was convinced to try those. There’s zero chance I’m buying the 7 remake.
and was even more frustrated by the camera
Do you mean in the world map? Because that’s the only place that lets you control the camera. The game is mostly 2D backgrounds with 3D characters.
I meant how my characters might moved and be obfuscated by things between them and the camera. I can’t recall exactly. I think there was a crater and I kept getting annoyed because I’d press one direction on my controller to go to somewhere that looked accessible, and then end up not being able to. Camera was probably a poor choice of wording.
Got it. I also remember having the same problem at first back then now that you mention it. One thing that helped was pressing select, it would put arrows on every possible exit and a big finger on you.
Give me the full game in one package at a reasonable price* and we’ll talk.
* Being Square-Enix, we won’t actually ever talk.
