Thank you PS5 players for play-testing this game before I get it on PC.

It's certainly impressive from a visual standpoint.

Playing through part 1 at the moment and I am about 25 hours in. I also tried it when it was first released but stopped pretty early on because of too much filler content. Midgar is like 5-6 hours of gameplay in the original and I hear the remake is 30-40 hours. That says something. I still think it has too much filler, but the game does get better after a while. Some things are made better for being more fleshed out too.

Didnt have feeling the games has abundance of filler content. It felt more like on-the-rails experience to me. But perhaps I just spent too much time with Owlcat games.

 

[Thiraury]

Owlcat games doesn't feel like they are filled with filler to me because afaik there wasn't a kingmaker videogame before they made kingmaker and I haven't played the pen and paper pathfinder. With FFVII we have the original videogame for comparison. The original Midgar was also on rails but it wasn't nearly as long.

With both Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous you do have the original Pathfinder Adventure Paths (AP 6 and AP 13). If you use your definition of filler then you could say it does actually have a lot of filler...probably 90% of the locations/content don't exist in the AP's.

Alright but I didn't play them so I'm unaware of the filler. Thats the difference.

I don't recall exactly how long Midgar is in the original, but I seem to remember it being significantly longer than just 5-6 hours.

It's nice that they fleshed out the remake as much as they have, but they should have made the first part less linear at an earlier point in the game. That seems to be the single biggest complaint I keep seeing about it. I wonder how many people quit playing because they didn't know that it becomes much more open later on.

Yeah you're right, the first time I played it was probably closer to double that time.

Nod, I recently replayed FF seven and Midgar took me quite some time to get through. Most of which was fun!

Ever hear of that movie, Pirates of the Carribean? The movie is something like 90 minutes, but the ride is only about 5 minutes! Talk about filler!

FF7R adds a lot of depth to the game. You find out more about the side characters. You find out more about Shinra. You find out a lot more about Aerith. Oh, and there are more battles - way more battles! And some really good boss fights. And some... sidequests.... ugh. OK, so a bunch of the sidequests are filler. And the extra-long sewer section. (Though getting hit with the frog spell late in the sewer was awesome. Every character gets a custom frog!)

 

[Thiraury]

I don't mind sidequests at all since they're optional. I also like the added depth to characters. What I don't like is the sewer-section you mentioned as well as some other non-optional locations that just are made longer compared to the original game and doesn't add to the story. I think the game would have been better without the lengthening of those locations. It's stilla very good game though. It's an 8 out of 10 for me right now.
