Same with knowing if all the characters survived). Dirge is Dirge, and Advent Children/Remake are sequels to a game that has a conclusive but open ended ending (where knowing exactly how it got to the after credits scene doesnt matter. Kid Sephiroth's story is the definition of unnecessary and will only make the character less appealing, Cloud's father (most likely) getting a story to himself is also just not necessary, Zack's Crisis Core story probably does it the best but even then you have a ton of Genesis retcons and Aerith meeting Zack the same way as Cloud is cheap. And Advent Children being playable is a neat novelty, but turning a movie into a dozen auto-battle mobile combat isnt really that good but it is interesting novelty.Īll those side games do all have the same problem of showing things that don't need to be shown, or make the original story worse if we know about it. Dirge is Dirge, you cant really polish that up without some major revisions that a simplified summary cant really do. Before Crisis is actually really good to have at least part of since otherwise it would be lost to old phones. I still think thats giving Ever Crisis too much credit overall.įirst Soldier was a failed battle royal, so the only thing it and First Soldier in Ever Crisis have in common is a name. But certainly a worse retelling of FF7, Crisis Core and FF7 Remake which are far superior in every respect. This is quite possibly the best retelling of First Soldier, Before Crisis, Dirge of Cerberus and a playable version of Advent Children. I'm still not sure about Ever Crisis, I hate the gacha system, but I like the abridged story of the entire compilation. It has its up and downs, Dirge of Cerberus was the first down, I liked the rest of the compilation, until First Soldier. Originally posted by alumlovescake:All the milking was actually ok with me Turns out it's an episodic game filled with bloated spin-off compilation material and bears little resemblance to FF7. On purpose.Īnd now they have done it again, to a less egregious extent, with "Ever Crisis." This mobile gacha game was billed as the "remake fans actually wanted," or something along those lines. The problem is that SE blatantly lied and deceived. The problem is not that this game is just some "requel"/sequel/spin-off. You were misled thinking it was an actual remake and instead you bought just another Nomurian spin-off sequel, the sort of thing you've been completely ignoring since Advent Children or Dirge. You were tricked into buying something that was a wolf in sheep's clothing. However, if a game called "remake" is actually some sort of surprise retconned, sloppy, and incoherent "requel"/sequel, and if it was falsely represented repeatedly as a "remake"/retelling, all the way up until the final chapters of this stretched/padded "Midgar section," then they cannot have been ignored as sequels. Sequels can be ignored, if they are properly advertised as sequels.
