If the install size is accurate, here's how FF7 Remake stacks up against other gigantic game install sizes:
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 175GB
Destiny 2 - 165GB
Red Dead Redemption 2 - 100GB+
Final Fantasy 7 Remake - 100GB
Final Fantasy XIV - 80GB+
Final Fantasy XV - 50GB+
The Witcher 3 - 50GB
This contradicts the game's previous 73.7GB install size gleaned from FF7 Remake's datamined demo files.

100gb is the standard size for most Triple AAAss games on PS4. It's why I ditched that system last year & switched over to the Switch where I can play most of the same turd party crap but at a much lower size. (I got made fun of for this comment at a Utube vid, lol. It's similar to how I get laughed at for preferring replayable games like Gunstar Heroes over long boring games like Last of Us. Fuck this generation, who treat gaming like a drug addiction.)
I was sick & tired of playing 100gb games that are only 20 hours long at most.
FF7 has a lot of apologetic shills who are overrating the shit out of this game and talking down on anyone who thinks it looks like ass.
LOL Yuge he says, when it only covers the Midgar portion of FF7. Herp derp, but it's an expanded take on Midgar! How much more to the story could you possibly add to Midgar though? It was already about 6 hours long in the original. Making that portion at least 70 hours is overkill.

@DankMemeCenterX I played the original FF7 multiple times, you do realize the game is not a 1:1 remake and that they are going to expand on the world and story of FF7 right?

@DankMemeCenterX Oh it seemed like you were confused so I was just trying to help you understand. Its also a full length FF game so it is a complete game its not episodic. I know its confusing because Square said it was episodic at first but they have clarified since.

@Tintin Thomas Its all good. Square shot themselves in the foot with the initial coverage of the game. Maybe the future installments they improve in compression since they're using unreal not luminous bust lol.

@DankMemeCenterX Who knows, maybe the game is already compressed and its actually 120gb. Also what do you mean by full FF7 experience? Are you talking about just the ps1 game or are you talking about the full FF7 compilation? Either way they have said that they can’t fit all of that into one installment and judging by the 100gb file size and 2 blu ray discs the game is coming in it makes sense.
There's way more shills, but I signal out this doof and even called him an apologetic shill who doesn't realize that he's just repeating marketing speak. "Expanded Midgar" could mean anything. This is Square Enix for crying out loud. They take short cuts with everything. Ironic really since it literally takes them decades to make sequels.
I'm amazed that the common rule of thought that most gamers have is "For an epic like FF7, it deserves to be 100gb. This game is beautiful!"
I mean it's motherfucking Square Enix. When was the last time that they actually made game that felt complete?
I'm seriously asking, I don't know. The last game I played from them was Final Fantasy 13-2. A game that I enjoyed on the initial playthrough but was bored shitless by the time I beat it since the game was so easy, and it was fairly short for a Jrpg. (Standard size for a Western Rpg though, which are normally only 20-40 hours long outside of stuff like The Witcher 3.)
On top of that the plot felt so incomplete. FF XV feels incomplete, and well I guess there's Dragon Quest 11 which does feel like a complete Jrpg experience but that game is boring as fuck to me. I only loved it last year coz it's the closest thing to a Nintendo-type rpg experince on the PS4. I really don't understand DQ's hype coz it has the simplest most brain dead combat, and the writing is just as simple. Although DQ's writing at least has heart and tries to somewhat succeed at creating an emotional, but bland story.
I haven't played Kingdom Hearts 3, but that game also gave me the impression of an incomplete game. A lot of Switch haters are laughing that Switch didn't get KH3 coz it can't handle it, but I personally think that you're not missing out on much, so who fucking cares? I'm not being defensive, I used to own a Ps4. I could've easily bought KH3 but I went with the 'GOTY' Resident Evil 2, which as usual was boring as hell. Gamers outside of Nintendo systems seem to have no taste in games at all. You can repeatedly serve them shit on a platter, and they'll happily dig in and try to force the rest of us consumers to dig in just coz they were dumb enough to, multiple times! :lol: :lol:
This is why 3rd parties generally hate Nintendo systems coz they have to compete head to head against Nintendo games and they just don't measure up coz they're so used to Xbawks & PSpoor players who will happily shill & buy their slop at full FOOL price of $60 for a 12 hour game that allegedly had a deep story when its politics & philsophy come off as wikipedia researched. Your average PS4 exclusive, EA game, UBisoft, or Bioware rpg all fit this mold.
(Xenoblade 2's take on politics, philosophy & religion are relatively much deeper than you average game.) Bethesda is like the only Non-Nintendo company that provides you with long games with decent writing but at the price of a buggy ugly game that you need to fix yourself.
Hey man, PSpoor Sony faggots call me poor for owning a Switch, when Switch is relatively more expensive per game, and I also own a Macbook, & the most recent Iphone during the year it came out. Oh but I'm the poor one, ok, lol! Last I checked, you could buy a new PS4 for $200 that comes with Last of Us, Horizon 0 Dawn & Goy of War 4. You're lucky if you paid $300 for a Switch that came with a free game, coz most of them don't. It's worth it though coz stuff like BOTW or Smash Bros will easily last you over 500 hours. All 3 of those PSpoor games together is only about 140 hours combined with everything completed.
This is why I'm so glad that I've switched over to the Switch. I was sick & tired of bootlicking shills who love paying more for far less product.
How the fuck are they okay with having to pay $60 over & over just to get the entire original FF7 game remade in HD? Then again, games don't actually have to be $60 retail, it just became the standard coz Activision proved that you can release the same game over & over again for $60 and the dumbass consumer base will regularly bite and won't complain at all.
Peeps try to make fun of Nintendo for the same thing for allgegedly releasing the same Zelda or Mario over & over, but every Mario & Zelda games plays drastically different from each other.
Nintendo could've easily charged you a full $60 for Xenoblade 2 Torna, but they priced it as a $40 game coz it's merely 100 hours long tops (if you try to complete everything. Prob only 25 - 30 hours if you play just for the story.) whereas Xenoblade 2 easily takes you over 500+ hours for full completion and about 100 hours on the standard story. (I'm in chapter 8 where you're climbing up a huge Skyscraper, and I'm already at 92 hours, lol.)
I seem to be in bizarro world coz I'm like the only one who thinks it looks like ass.
At least that's what I would say, but /v/ thinks it looks like shit too. To be fair, they think everything is shit, but they think FF7 looks shittier than usual. I especially ain't a fan of the stupid combat. When people tell you that Xenoblade's combat sucks, it's primarily because they just wanted it to play like a dumbass buttonsmashing hack n slash. I'd be bored as fuck with XB if it had the same battle engine as a Tales of... game. Even Ys 8 is boring as fuck after the first playthrough coz there isn't much depth to its button mashing combat. Ys 8 has a timed dodge mechanic which increases your speed, but that's about it.
Meanwhile in something like Xenoblade 2, I feel that I have to pay attention to everything that I'm doing, & what ever my squad are doing at all times since on the basic level, I have to time button presses with the battle animations so I can cancel them which automatically performs the move you've pressed without finishing the first animation. You get a dmg boost plus the benefits of the previous move.
You then keep track on the rest of your blades so you can switch to a fresh one while waiting for the cool downs on you current blade.
You keep track on your other drivers coz they'll sometimes break, tumble, or smash opponents which gives you an opening to extend the combo & respond with a move that follows the combo sequence.
There's yet another element where you have to synergize attacks between your whole party by making sure you have a decent spread of elements so that you can extend a chain combo that goes on for multiple rounds so long as you're able chain together all of the required elements that the enemy is weak too.
On top of all of this, you also have the standard MOBA alignment where each Driver team fits into a role of Attacker, Tanker or Healer, as well as the need for the basic knowledge of what each individual attack does to manage the crowd of enemies you have to fight. It's very easy to get into a mini war with your 12 member squad (You have 3 Drivers who each wield 3 Blades at a time who act as support, or in Torna where you only have 9 members but everyone is a combatant.) because most enemies & bosses you fight will call for reinforcements which then adds another layer to the strategy.
Do you slowly lure every enemy into an ambush so you only have to fight a few of them at a time or are you more gutsy and just attack them head on, making it so that you have fight every single enemy who responds to the call? They'll even call lvl 80+ enemies as reinforcements while you're still only at lvl 20 so you have to be careful with who you choose to pick a fight with.
All of these multiple layers I've spoken of in regards to Xenoblade's combat, is exactly why I'm not interested in FF7's gameplay at all. I doubt it'd be anywhere near as in-depth as XB's. It's most likely going to function like a modern Tales game, which have these overly complex battle systems but at the end of the day all you're doing is spamming the most abusable & op attacks over & over. The actual ruleset doesn't matter much.
:lol: :lol: :twisted: :twisted: :lol: :lol:
With this thread, all I'm doing is complaining so I'm fucking glad that I moved over to the Switch where I actually enjoy playing games since Nintendo actually makes good products. You'll never see a game like Xenoblade 2 on other platforms, simply coz they don't have the quality control that Nintendo has. Nintendo is actually the reason why Monolith soft competely changed their development philosophy to be much more gameplay oriented. Due to this, Monolith soft actually completes games on time, with the actual budget they were given unline with Xenogears & Xenosaga where they constantly ran out of time, and ran out of budget due to bad management. That's what gaming feels like outside of Nintendo systems.
A bunch of amateurs who don't know what they're doing but rely on corporate-marketing to sale their overpriced piece of shit just to make state-of-the-art gfx that will already look outdated 2 years from now.
Compare that to BOTW or Xenoblade 2 which pretty much look like what Chrono Trigger would look like in 3d. Chrono Trigger is still a majestic looking game by today's standards & I feel it will be the same case for XB2 & BOTW. FF7 remake is going to look ass ugly by the time mid-gen PS5 rolls around.
Even though it already looks uggo imo, but that's just me. I'm not an idiot who's easily enticed by shiny things. I only wasted munny on said shiny things coz it was the only games available to me on PS4 that wasn't Fifa or COD or some shitty Soyny Cinematic Experince.
This really reminds me of something Xed said when he referred to modern-gaming as more of a signifier of social status rather than the act of actually enjoying the games.
It cracks me up though, why does PSpoor signal your high-social status when nearly every Sony exclusive can easily be bought for $9? The only games you can buy on the Switch for under $20 are physical versions of shitty indie games that you already don't play.
When I'm in the Switch gaming section, I only ever see White people (both male & female ages 8-18) with their moms, entire families (of all races), or rich looking dudes who can afford the full on Switch experience, which includes their overpriced but high-quality pro-controller.
In the PS4 section, I see a wide variety of people, most of whom look like they're from the lower class. I don't really see anyone at the Xbox section, weird though how Switch is considered as the nerdy niche system by most of the hardcore gamer public when Switch outsold Xone in only 2 years and has way better exclusives than Xbox. Xbox's only exclusive is like the Master Chief collection. Everything else sucks. (Including Killer Instinct 3. Imagine how awesome that game would've been had Nintendo still owned the IP.)
