Message: [QUOTE="Strategist, post: 87463, member: 767"] At least someone gets where I'm coming from. To me the story is the most important aspect of an RPG. Gotta nail it to call yourself a successful one. I feel like a lot of the people who enjoy Remake/Rebirth are either not fans of the original or not fans of RPGs. And that's fine but when they start saying that it is better than the original they lose me. Eh, I think that scene is emblematic of the problems with this Remake project. What was a small throw away gag in the original was morphed into a huge subplot filled with musical numbers and mini games. It stops being funny if you lean into these things too hard. But subtlety is not something that is appreciated in the gaming sphere, I guess. I was researching into Final Fantasy VI recently for my article and this quote from Kitase feels emblematic of the problems with modern Final Fantasy: “It’s maybe strange to say [this], but I miss the limitations of making games in those days,” Kitase admits. “The cartridge capacity was so much smaller, of course, and therefore the challenges were that much greater. But nowadays you can do almost anything in a game. It’s a paradox, but this can be more creatively limiting than having hard technical limitations to work within. There is a certain freedom to be found in working within strict boundaries, one clearly evident in [I]Final Fantasy VI[/I].” [/QUOTE]
