PSX 2015

I stopped paying attention at Ni No Kuni II. Yussssssssssssss

I'm with you there. Ni No Kuni was one of my favorite RPG's of all time. I was around a bunch of people when I first saw the trailer for it so I had to react calmly and people worried I was having a problem or something. If I had been at home by myself, I would have lost it entirely.

My other half is the one currently playing through it -- it's the only game for which I'll just drop whatever I'm doing and watch it with her, rather than reading or playing my own game. I didn't watch the trailer in case there were spoilers -- how is it looking ?

If you are worried about spoilers for the first game, don't be, the only connections I see are that it takes place in the same world and that one of the characters dresses like Oliver. As for spoiling this new game itself, I don't really see that either. It is a reveal trailer after all, so it mostly just gives you the premise of the story and few small clips of the trailer itself. As for just rating the trailer goes, it's really good. It made me very happy as a fan. I do wish there had been some combat so we can see if there are any differences, but maybe at a later date.

FF7 Remake gameplay, which I figured a lot of people would be mad about since the game is clearly not turn-based anymore

I think the game's producer put it well. I don't remember the exact quote but he said that while it might have worked well on PS1, having these realistic new character models standing in a row, waiting for their turn and jumping around doing their moves would have looked just silly. And I gotta agree. If we are to have a modern style gameplay in the game with running around freely in the world and stuff, having these random moments where you just stand around waiting would break the flow of the game completely. As long as it's not the automated poop from XIII and more akin to XII or something like that, I'm okay with it.

I fully agree. in fact I was hoping for a battle system like the one we were shown, but I figured most of the fans from back in the day would hate to see these changes. Not that it matter much to me anymore, I don't play episodic games because they always release a full version later and I hate not being able to play the entire game, so unless this one gets a full release, I don't want it anymore. Releasing it in episodic format has totally removed any want I had for it.
