@Porco yeah, FF15 left a sour taste in my mouth. The original release felt half baked, with subsequent patches created to fix the game after. Paid DLCs didn’t help its case either.
There is a silver lining though.
FF14 Shadowbringer is, absolutely - without a doubt - the best FF game released since X. It was faithful to the FF formula, and it was a very refreshing experience that felt like FF of old.
So despite my concern, I am hopeful. But I won’t hype myself up only to be disappointed. If FF7 feels like a true final fantasy, then I’m on board.
My biggest concern is taking the original FF7 - which is a simple story of Cloud and friends saving the world - inflated to a 3 part series, with bigger casts and a much more convoluted story line.
I don’t want this game to become the next Kingdom Hearts, where plot threads are muddled by unnecessary complexities. Nor do I want it to become like FF15, where the entire story is locked behind paid DLCs.
RE2 was faithful to the original. While creative licence is great, let’s respect what made FF7 amazing.
@AdamNovice agreed. Witcher 3: Heart of Stone DLC is 10hours long. And I regard the DLC as better than the main Witcher 3 campaign in terms of pacing and story.
I hold a full time job. The last time I spent beating a 12hr game, it took me a couple of days - close to a week.
As much as I enjoyed playing RDR2, I felt a little burnt out with how long it took to finish the main campaign. Which is why I’d place God of War, with it’s shorter and straight to the point campaign - higher than RDR2.
I’m a big believer of quality over quantity.
If the pacing of the game is good, then 12hours should be no problem for me.
I’m a big metal gear solid fan and appreciate all of its quirkiness.
But seeing death stranding, gives me the impression of being in on an inside joke that I’m not a part of. A lot of the concepts just appear very pretentious. Like being in one of those art galleries and all you see is an actual toilet in the middle of a painted white room - and you’re supposed to interpret that as art.
Like yeah, sure. Okay.
I loved metal gear. But this. This isn’t it.
I just hope Kojima proves me wrong. Otherwise I’m not sold.

Re: PlayStation Awards Returns to Celebrate PS4's Biggest Sellers in Japan
I know this has been released in JP for a while now. But the trails of cold steel series is this year’s GoTY for me.

The twitter user who posted this cautioned its authenticity.
This may not be this final, nor official, version.
