If Tenabre is explorable and the story is good, I would take everything I said in my big post back.
It was a knee jerk reaction after hearing some negative things and I wanted to vent. I have a bad habit of it.
Writing it isn't a problem, you're just going to drive yourself nuts is all, lol.

It's best to separate yourself from your expectations for a bit, and maybe lay off the spoilers/impressions. All you're going to do at this point is disappoint yourself.

My point

Yes I do admit, I am not basing this on playing the game myself. Again the story in the last few chapters could be great. But there is alot of red flags. Like the story only picking up in the last few chapters, this gives me the impression that its going to go by to fast and be rushed instead of being evenly developed throughout the whole game. Also again ive just heard the story in the end is a series of set pieces and dungeons one after another. And also the other characters dont get developed well just Noctis. I have also seen the ending and given my opinion on it in a thread I made. (it was underwhelming to me)
You saw the ending without experiencing the setup and context behind it...

What if you saw the ending for FF7 without having played the game? I guarantee you your reaction would be like "What's this green shit coming out of the planet? Wtf is everyone doing just standing around? What's this light? Aerith? That's it? Wtf kinda ending is this?!?"

Sorry but you just ruined the game for yourself.

The people who actually played the entire game even said that the latter half and the ending were amazing, most likely because they saw events in the proper order they were meant to see them in, thus enhancing the ending scenes impact.

I too have read the spoiler free impressions. I have no idea what happens in the game. All I know is everyone has said the game is great despite being flawed.

Heck they even said they loved it!

Personally I'm gonna enjoy the shit out of this game. I enjoyed 13, so this will be fun as fuck for me.

Characterisation is top notch they said with development for all 4 bros being excellent and that's all I wanted :)

The latter half of the story has been praised so the story in this regard seems exciting.

I'd rather slow beginning and excellent latter half and conclusion than the other way round tbh.

No one likes a crappy ending.

(Still have zero idea what happens in the game so greatly looking forward to this)

The ending got spoiled to me long ago (4chan leaks) tbh only reason I read the 4 chan leaks was cause everyone was calling them fake at that time, I came across a new thread on faqs a few days ago saying the 4chan leaks are real final boss is ------ (not spoiling the final boss for you) by seeing that thread I decided to watch the video just because I really wanted to confirm with my own eyes that the 4chan leaks were fake, but no they weren't. So yeah it was ruined a long time for me just cause some dumb leaker leaked everything way back in May.

Damn.

Haven't been on faqs for a long time and don't plan on going back anytime soon. I take it the trolls are jumping on the ending and using it as fuel to bash the game? What's reception over there like out of curiosity? Man that community's craziness astounds me to no end.

Why do people leak shit like this for? They don't get money or anything like that from it, so why do it and spoil it for everyone?

What dingbats.

Something tells me I'm going to get a kick out of reactions from newcomers who never played the PS1 version of VII witness the ending in the Remake, should it stay true to the original's?

I think it will be tweaked to differ a bit from the original. Heck I think there will be quite a few changes those who have played the original won't like, combat being one.

Personally I'm just happy to play the game no matter what.

If the ending gets leaked beforehand, I have no doubt newcomers reactions will be "wtf just happened? Man this was underwhelming".

Experiencing the game's scenarios in the proper order before viewing the ending is extremely important imo.

Context matters so much.

The ending is not my only problem(areas being cut and no story in the first 8 chapters are as well), but I do hope chapters 9-14 lead well into it.
Here, read this short impression.

"There is a lot of story but a lot of it happens during exploration"

It all comes down to playing style how much of the story you will get to experience.

Take your time with the world and you will discover that it is more rich than initially thought.

Rush it and you won't reap the fruits of your labour.

I ruined the game for myself by reading negative impressions? ok then...
No, I just think you're stressing about it too much. The fact that you think some areas have been canned, and you can't explore this or that, and people are saying this and blah blah blah.

You're going to end up pressing ''New Game'' with an already partially disappointed view point and I think it's going to tarnish your experience of the game, which is a shame.

correct, probably the DLCs will cover that area of the map lol
One thing I hate though is that Square said the DLC wasent cut content, they even said it in a blog post. But it obviously is if the DLC is going to make those areas explorable.

That's not cut content. Stop that.

Cut content is content that was cut, not content that was never in there in the first place.

This is how you disappoint yourself.
