/vr/ - Retro Games

I absolutely adore that world. I just love that kind of universe. That art style, the setting, the character designs, the monster designs, everything is just so good. Part of it is that it's the only FF game heavily inspired by anime, and it is inspired by some of the best anime ever. This was the time of cyberpunk, and god damn I LOVE cyberpunk cities.

Something I noticed while watching previews and demos for FF15. I didn't care at all. All the characters looked really bland. And I didn't care about what was over the hill. I didn't care about what the cities looked like. In FF7, I want to explore more of it. I want to get another game just to explore it more.

And here's something that even Square gets wrong about FF7's appeal. Every sequel has a grittier, realistic character designs. That's not it. FF7 is an anime. It's an anime world with anime characters. In any sequel, they should retain that art style.
