*dramatic zoom in on him as he crouches with a lecherous smile, then zooms out as he suddenly flies straight at Chaos in a flying gluggle, landing in a rolling mass of limbs before kicking Chaos upward and then launching himself up for a secondary flying gluggle, then landing with the area around him flashing in dramatic flair in his super-ultra-combo gluggle* HI!

I just learned there my be an old brick-style PS1 available for use . . . and that makes me wanna break out my FF VII and game genie- I miss having the Master Materia, and can only get them with the cheat box. ninja

Hey!

Interesting, though that brings to light the argument I had the other day with a friend. The reason I do not go for PC gaming is nothing complex. I admit that gaming on PCs is inherently better, and with the addition of a plug-in controller, you can customize your experience and controls in more ways than one will ever truly need. For me there is a very simple issue- compatibility. Consoles for better or worse have the benefit of plug-n-play mentality. Put the disk in, and a majority of the time the game will run with a minimum of issues. Computers have hardware requirements, conflict issues, software problems, and ultimately are too intimidating for me to pick them up. Especially when you discuss making alterations to the safe files. Knowing me, I'd mess that up badly. sweatdrop

I don't know what's worse. That you would think I'd possibly forget you, my fave flirty friend, or that you think so little of yourself as to be forgotten!

Well, I was gone awhile. Around a year or so if I'm not mistaken.

Either way, I'm back~<3  

[Alexander Magnus]

Maybe I am just being chicken about it . . . but I prefer the wisdom in knowing your own limits. I know enough to say "I don't know how to fix it if I screw it up." So, I am sticking to my console for now. sweatdrop

For however long I am around, Chaos . . . you will always be welcomed here. 4laugh

yay~<3  

[Alexander Magnus]

I'm tempted, Yoder . . . don't mistake that. Then again, I personally feel it is only a matter of time before somebody remakes FF VII for the next/current gen of consoles. Will it be a ton of work? Oh yes. Will it be a freaking license to print $1000 bills? Oh yes.  

[Saucy Goblin]

I usually detest remakes.

Your avi so makes that comment seem like a petulant pout! *snughugs*

Many remakes do not live up to their original, and I believe Square Enix is terrified of that w/ FF7. That or they're afraid that pushing it to a new generation that doesn't have nostalgia for the era will result in people not lauding it as much as they used to. But you're right, it would be a ridiculous cash cow.

You have a very valid point. Still, They cannot update the original. In interviews, it isn't a matter of remastering sprites and backgrounds to upgrade to HD like they did with FF X. It would require them to rebuild the game from the ground up. Having a whole new crew of people that do not have the nostalgiabomb aspect is a risk, to be sure. Still, upgrading it will be a good thing if they leave the story and combat intact. What people want is the newer system's graphics and sound, and while a new generation (or two) would not be nostalgic, having a game for the new groups could very well revitalize that game and even the series. I personally think the materia system is the best magic system I've ever known from a game.

On other game news, just prepaid my copy of the newest transformers game for my PS4. Hopefully it will be okay. On the plus side, it spends half the game in the IDW Cybertron world. That is a very good thing. On the negative, it spends the other half on Earth with the Bayverse bots. That is troubling . . . but, as one reviewer I watch online has said about the new movie "Against better judgement, I am getting a 'not terrible' vibe from this film." confused

That, and bought Prototype 2 for my PS3. We'll see how that pans out.

I really need to start jobhunting.
