On a personal level, I’m actually kind of fine with this.

So far this year we have already had some very long games launched that I’m interested in, and I feel like they could keep me busy for basically most of the year. I’m also finally playing Cyberpunk (and it’s now fun and only mildly buggy!).

But Persona 3, Like a Dragon, and soon FF7 are big, fat games that could take months to finish. And I haven’t even had a chance to play Baldur’s Gate yet.

So, for me, I’m not hurting for content at all. But I know that’s just me.

Is the FF7 re-telling even finished? Are they going to finish it? I am so lost on what chapters are what and when and why.

The second game of the FF7 remake series comes out in a couple of weeks.

My understanding is that there will be three games.

There is a prequil 'Crisis Core' and I expect more spinoffs again but they keep saying it will be 3 core games for the 'retelling'/remake project.

Oh yeah, I forgot about Crisis Core.

Are they going to make more Crisis Core games? The PSP game got remade, right? I’ve been playing the pixel remasters of FF1-6 and was thinking about getting CC.

Correct, the PSP game got a remake that's been out for a bit.

The first one gave me the impression of a sort of sequel that requires alternate timeline and some characters seemed to be at least somewhat aware of it, but I could also just be overanalyzing incorrectly. Second part soon ish on PS so I expect part 3 on PC by the time I’m 90 if I’m still alive then.

FunkyMonk@kbin.social on 15 Feb 2024 02:02 collapse

yeah there is a big 'fate' sort of narrative about other possible events and shifting death flags

Jackthelad@lemmy.world on 14 Feb 2024 16:27 next collapse

Not even another Naughty Dog remaster?!

Pratai@lemmy.ca on 14 Feb 2024 16:48 next collapse

Hope this means fresh new IP. I’m so sick of remasters and sequels. We need new stuff.

Empricorn@feddit.nl on 14 Feb 2024 18:18 next collapse

But. Think of the shareholders!

I’d play a new god of war every year if they kept up form

Well, I’m about to start Alan Wake 2, then I’ll start Death Stranding, and then Baldur’s Gate. Plus I could probably go through Spider-Man and Cyberpunk again. So personally I should be eating well for a while.
