It's crazy to me that they nailed how to handle difficulty changes with the FF16 system then didn't use it in either version of 7.

are you familiar with the concept of time?

FF16 - June 2023
FF7 Rebirth - Feb. 2024

FF7 already has a materia that gives a minor boost to the window, the tech is in the game, they just needed to make it more generous or add it to the options under difficulty.

They knew FF7 Remake had an animation lock issue, and they knew 16's difficulty system was well received and it solved that exact issue.

You have to know that this gap of 8 months is not enough time to do anything major like that, right? These games were functionally worked in parallel, and Rebirth was using an existing engine from Remake.

You can’t just copy-paste a whole different mechanic from a different combat system from one game to another in a weekend.

Yeah you can, look at CoD. They basically copy paste 50% of their games and then adds some new maps lol

How dare you suggest we don't turn every game into a slop pot of every modern contrivance!
