Thanks for the clarification. I had thought that the Japanese version uses the orchestral but I guess not.
Voice acting was actually added for the Western release, they simply opted not to have voice acting in the Japanese version.
I mean, you're 100% entitled to your opinion, and I respect that.
Personally as a FF fan I feel like Square's FFVII EVERYTHING phase got sort of grating. It's a great game but I feel it's also been way overexposed by the company at this point.
What an odd decision. It doesn't ruin the game by any means obviously, but it does sort of hinder the presentation. Good thing I speak English!
I mean, some of us just think OoT is overrated. I don't hate it, but I also don't have the nostalgia glasses because I didn't grow up with it. It's a fine game, but to me, not an amazing one.
It's not really that with us. We both were 12 and 13 respectively when Final Fantasy 7 came out. I think with both of us, it's just we much prefer other characters from the FF series and even from FF7.
I mean, I grew up with the SNES titles. I don't have nostalgia glasses for N64 titles. I think Ocarina was top tier.
I think the game isn't overexposed since the last time the compilation had anything relevant on the market was almost a decade ago. But I understand the sentiment. The compilation itself was terrible and hurt the brand both by its low quality and overexposing a bit more of a title that was already being universally received and never was supposed to have a sequel in the first place. The thing is, people loved those characters, and you rarely find in the series a bunch of characters that moved so many people's hearts like VII did (VI comes to mind, but not on the same level) and made people remember them for decades. The compilation was made to milk money off of this fact. And it backfired on them, ironically.
I think I remember vaanrose mentioning it getting 8th in a most popular game poll done by some Japanese magazine but my memory is kinda fuzzy.
I believe they said that DQ11 would be nominated, but marketing was concerned that it wouldn't win. They went on to say "A game from the franchise the new character belongs to will be (at least) nominated to "best in genre" award". So they weren't entirely wrong, I guess. However, they will be wrong if the first DLC character isn't from DQ.
I mean I wouldn’t mind Sephiroth due to his significance in FFVII, and the fact Ultimate seems to be adding a lot more villains than previous games, but it’s as you said. FF still only has two tracks of music, no new Assist Trophies or Bosses, and even for Spirits there’s only the two Cloud variations. Plus also the whole stage and music with DLC characters thing, which - see earlier. Seems unnecessary to have two FF7 stages with one having more music than the other — why not just dump all the tracks onto Midgar?
Nah, we're getting a RDR2 character, it's winning everything
Agree all leakers are wrong at this point, so the DLC is wide open to possibles. Also looks like we will no longer need that Square list from Vergeben. As who knows at this point who and if there’s a second Square Rep will be.
I was born after it came out, but then I played it and I came to think it was the best video game ever made.
Not in every case, but sometimes they are. But hey, we're not here to talk about OoT! I'm curious to see how everything pans out now regarding the SE character.
Just curious, since I remember you from around the Skull Kid thread, what are your thoughts on Majora’s Mask?
Majora's Mask is my favorite Zelda game, and debatably my favorite game, period.
I agree with Crono. And Illusion of Gaia is great, I love the ActRaiser trilogy and Quintet era of Enix games. Though my favorite is Terranigma, so it’d be Ark for me.Majora's Mask is my favorite Zelda game, and debatably my favorite game, period.
Oh boy. I don't think I've played a game from before they were the same company.
*googles*
Apparently Crono and Terra are both from Square, so let's say Crono for most wanted Square character. As for Enix, apparently I've literally never played one of their games, but Illusion of Gaia is one my friend has talked up a fair bit, so the main character from that.
If you got a link to this, I would like to see it. It's been a while since I last saw Verge stuff, I just need a refresher.
By that point, we'll likely know at least one other DLC fighter so he'll, at most, be the 3rd one. And that's way too late into a hype cycle to reveal your big name.
Cloud was revealed after Roy/Lucas/Ryu and before Bayonetta/Corrin.
As I've been arguing in the discussion thread, Ryu was a bigger name. Cloud may have been a more groundbreaking reveal to the community due to his perceived impossibility but as far as marketing goes? Ryu is the bigger one you'd want to get out first.
I dunno. Maybe from the selection they have, Joker would bring more attention since he is from a PS4 exclusive game.
