Comment on Wada: “FF7 Remake Would Take 10 Times as Long as FF13″ by SpideyPHL:

First off, the people who keep saying “he means 30-40 years” apparently do not understand hyperbole. Completely disregard that number, just think of it as generically equaling “a really long time.” I know I know, don’t feed the troll, but really that’s one of those things that are so stupid I can’t help myself.

It is interesting that he said it’d take that long though, considering they already have all of the plot, characters, dialogue, battle system, and locations already plotted out–they’d just need to re-do the graphic assets in HD, dub in voice acting for the dialogue and probably add some extras to make it somewhat worth buying (who here’s hoping for schoolgirl alternate outfits for the girls?).

*cough* Anywho, it does seemed to be a veiled or accidental comment on the amount of content in FF13 compared to FF7. Unlike many of the people on this site, I didn’t hate FF13, but I will say I miss things like the Overworld from pre-PS2 FF games, and minigames from the pre-FF13 games. Has anyone actually sat down and looked at the amount of different zones in each, though? Keeping in mind that the PS2 and PS3 games have much larger zones than the PS1 games.

  Typical SC sensationalist stuff, for sure. I do remember those FFXI queue days (that was for the NPC fellow if I remember correctly), but this new team for FFXIV will probably change it after hearing the complaints because they’re willing to admit mistakes.

• My Little Idols Can’t Be This…:
  

  Kuroneko never had a real chance. I said it before, if you’re going to get into a series like this, you have to make sure you can take the main heroine, or else you’re just asking for disappointment with the ending. Luckily Kirino’s my favorite, but there are some other LNs/shows I just dropped when I realized I didn’t like the main heroine, because we know how it’ll end.

• Ore no Imouto Ending Shocks Fans: “Her After All!?”:
  

  Who didn’t see this coming? I suppose part of it is getting lathered up into a hate of the main heroine (partly facilitated by SC, of course) usually isn’t a good idea if you want to keep enjoying the book. Kirino was always my favorite to begin with, but she was also the title character, so I don’t know what some folks were thinking would happen.

  Not really, since she already had her time as his GF it’s really unlikely she’ll end up winning. Kirino’s most likely to win, but if not her probably Ayase if anyone.

  I’m a bit puzzled how she could be here and Tsukiko wouldn’t even rank, but whatever.
