I was told there'd be 2 options for the ff7 remake, tl;dr I was lied to, or I wouldn't have bought it.
The battle system was most of the game, can't gut it and be like "lol this is better."
We know we're old. We've kinda reached a point where its either accept it or be out of place as "that guy"- so yeah, some of us still crave that old Turn Based combat where variance in choice was more possible- we don't need constant action.
I'm with ya, and would like more info on this because I was planning on getting the remake once the 2nd release was announced (to reduce my wait hehe), but you hinting that there isn't a true turn-based option like touted has me wondering.
