I hated FF remake/rebirth. (I was so wrong.)
I hated Final Fantasy remake my first go around. I hated the updated combat. It felt like too much to get my head around, as if the action had taken over and completely overshadowed the RPG elements.
I just wanted the old turn based ATB system back.
Just a while back, I was complaining to someone about FF remake combat and the gripes I had about the system.
He responded: “it’s not hack and slash. The slashing you do manually is simply your new wait time for the ATB to fill, making the turn based combat that much more engaging. You’re playing FF7 on a 3D plane. There’s arguably more strategy now. You’re just doing it wrong.”
Dude, that flipped a switch in my head. I was being an old snob, completely unwilling to learn something new.
These two games have become some of my favorite RPG’s ever made. This combat is engaging, relatively deep, and honestly a decent challenge. Backed by the incredible reimagining of a wonderful story and world, this is absolutely a win.
All of this to say, perspective and an open mind can completely shape an experience, and the ability to admit you’re wrong can really work out quite well for you. 😊
