Why? It's Square's right to exercise their creative freedom however they choose. If you don't like it, don't buy it. This current community of gamers are far too needy to be doing nothing but expressing their unsolicited opinions. The game looks fun; if you want better, then stop trying to find everything wrong with what's shown. Who said that they had to take your input into consideration? Last I checked, Square is a billion dollar company, so someone is enjoying what they're making.

It plays like a ps1 game?
Could you send over you copy? You got very early access so I'd love to have a turn too

@SurgicalMenace

Nobody said they can’t do that. The comment was geared towards why people may not be out of line for complaining about it.

I don’t know what you watched that “looked fun”, I didn’t see anything that stood out as fun, but different strokes for different folks. That or there’s a clear differentiation in standards of fun for a game.

Again, I never said they needed my input on anything. I’m sorry my comment based on observation of what was shown and my experience with the previous games got your panties in a bunch. I don’t think saying why we’re not impressed by a game is a bad thing especially when we’re fans of the IP…

And yea, I never said I didn’t enjoy some of the stuff they’re making. Huge fan of the FF7 Remake, right here.

@jambola

I think I get what you’re saying here, but I also think you misread what I said. I said it DOESN’T play like the PS1 game or PS2 game. You may want to actually YouTube some gameplay of those games and come back to have a discussion here. And as for sending over a copy of anything, No go get your own.

Generic would be Babylon

Also Octopath was more similar to a Saga game than FInal Fantasy

Now that it's been said, perhaps you'd like to step up and show them how it's done, huh? I've never seen one example of greatness that's delivered greatness all the time. Every album, series, movie, etc. has moments in them that we'd rather not experience. What do we do? Skip those moments to experience our favorite parts. Expectations have become so grossly inflated, while none having them has done anything to address them beside cry about it.

Yeah, that is the issue here. Honestly, if you showed me just the footage without saying anything I would think is a Kickstarter RPG that will have to remodel itself down the road. At least for now, nothing in this game reminds me of the originals.
