Lads if you're looking for a good RPG then you can download FFXIV right now, no need to mess around with Persona. It's the best COVID19 gaming there is

Boring ass mmo's are no substitute for a good rpg.

FFVII isn't good though.

All joking aside I heard FFXIV is actually great as a single player RPG with a story better than the majority of the FF games. It also has an expansion written and designed by Matsuno which has me tempted to give it a go.

Tbh as a single player game it's merely ok, something to piddle away the hours. But as a co-op game for raiding it's immense and the most engaged I've been with FF since XII.

I don't know what Matsuno did tbh, there is an Ivalice raid but the writing on it isn't that good. The raid itself is incredible tho.

To bring it back to VII.. I'm currently learning Ruby Weapon with the FC as a Scholar. **** is hard.

Should be quite a few. Midgar is expanded from 8-10 hours to 30+ hours. It's going to be a lot bigger with lot's of new story elements, characters and locations.

Sounds brilliant. Just out in time for my birthday as well. Who needs family, friends or contact with any human life

You can keep saying that but it doesn't make it true. You are definitely in a tiny minority who thinks so and you're wasting your time saying it in this thread.

FFXIV looks like any typical mmo. Boring grindfest, crap quests, poor graphics, poor story and characters, poor gameplay loops. The most stagnant boring genre in the industry that still hasn't moved on or improved since wow, a 16 year old game.

On top of all that they expect you to pay full price for the game and expansions with a monthly sub on top. No thanks.

Think he designed that raid.

Finally went to check my order status, I get a free Lanyard too

Simple things

Now I need to find out what "Initiated" means

one armed dwarf · 31-03-2020 02:14PM

My shopto order starts processing tomorrow. Probably won't come super early or anything but nice to know it's being picked up.

Either way I also have a digital pre-order.. paid for it 6 months ago

Mine too, updated this afternoon to say it will process tomorrow. Could even ship out tomorrow or Thursday. Should definitely arrive a few days early at the very least.

ShopTo price is also significantly cheaper than many options, even including their expensive 6 quid shipping. Comes to 52-53 euro.

I see they have put a hold on my card also for 0.01c meaning they are going to charge soon also!

Payment Information
We will start processing this pre-order on 01/04/2020

I ordered it from here too in addition to the deluxe edition I had preordered from game.co.uk as I just remembered the last game I ordered from game.co.uk arrived over a week after the release date and that was sans global pandemic... so I can just sell the basic game from whichever edition arrives late

Saw this today. Thought of all you lads and lassies.

Trophy list.

https://www.powerpyx.com/final-fantasy-vii-remake-trophy-list-revealed/

18 chapters, sounds like a fairly chunky game. Makes it sound like a full game and any parts that come after will be more like sequels than just 1 game split up, just the feeling i get from it.

Hardened Veteran trophy
Complete all chapters on Hard difficulty.

Nuts, I hate difficultly related trophies.

Yeah after reading that it seems long enough. Although does not look like we will get to the "world map" if there even is one in this version of the game. Chapter 18 seems like the bridge at the end of the Midgar portion of the game.

Actually just go to the Chocobo Farm on my playthrough yesterday. Have a fair bit to cover in the next week or so!

Retr0gamer · 01-04-2020 08:40AM

They've always said they have expanded midgar substantially (40 hours) and always said it ends right as you leave midgar.

Not sure where people's confusion is coming from with this?

daheadonu · 01-04-2020 09:33AM

I wonder how you will transition to the next game,will you be ble to carry over progress or will it just be a new start

Hard to tell, we’ll have to wait until the PlayStation 7 reveal to see how they handle backwards compatibility

100 dollars
No thanks!

Know anywhere else this is selling physical besides amazon?

Sephiroth_dude · 01-04-2020 10:24AM

I don't why ye all thought it was going to a short game? its a 50 hour game at least!

I hadn't seen any official word about length and plenty of "but it's just Midgar, 3 hours tops". I knew it was gonna be longer but no real idea.

one armed dwarf · 01-04-2020 10:53AM

It's definitely not 3 hours but I would also be surprised by 50 hours at least. I think it'll be a Crisis Core sized game (around 20 hours) if you don't grind sidequests.

Seen plenty of complaints about games being too long or too short recently.

Indecisive

Shopto changed my order from pre order to back order, sounds like they didn't get enough stock cause of COVID or something
