It’s honestly kinda crazy how long some games spend in development. The Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is a perfect example of something that should’ve been quick but ended up being so bloated and took forever to make.

FF7Remake was announced in 2015, got stuck in development hell for a bit, released 2020. The sequel released 2024. The third one still hasn’t been teased yet. How many people are attached to a franchise if it takes 10 years to get the full story? I loved the first remake but dropped the second one, I just didn’t care about the story as much as I did ~5 years ago.

      What? What does that have to do with it? They’re not engaging with once massively popular stories, not bemoaning how they can’t be obsessed with them.

        Why would you have an “attachment” to patterns of light on a screen?

          … Because they tell a compelling story?

          I can have a preferred color combination (turquoise and violet) without making that color combination my entire personality. You can do the same thing with video games.
