All those years of darts in Shenmue and Yakuza pay off for an easy trophy!
I at first got the trophy within 7 throws but was damned determined to leave that bar with 6 throws - took me a good 15 minutes but finally got it :)

I still don't get why people loves FFVII remake but hates FFXV. I look at them and seems the same game to me, but with a skin of FFVII characters instead.
I mean, everybody trashed the combat system of FFXV. I look to FFVII and it's exactly that, why is okay now?
And I'm not trashing FFVII, I want to play it badly because I know I will like it, just as I liked FFXV (the story at the end was kinda mhe tho). I just don't get the hardcore fans
There were a lot of RPGs on console, before FFVII, and around the same time, that targeted more of a young adult demographic in the same way. Off the top of my head, some examples would be: All the Shadowrun games, Phantasy Star II (at least), Suikoden, Ogre Battle, Tactics Ogre, Vandal Hearts, etc. Lots of Japan only games like Illusion City, Linda Cube, Megami Tensei series, Dark Half, Front Mission, and so on, did so as well. FFVII had a monumental marketting campaign, so everyone knew about it, though.the story it's seems very adult for it's age (even now kinda?)
I kind of agree with this. Everyone hated FF13 for this (Disclaimer: haven't played it myself) but loves the FF7 remake despite it being essentially on rails. It might be the case that people are willing to overlook it because it's FF7 and they have their nostalgia goggles on.Something I'm kind of amused by with the remake is that it's structured in largely the same way FFXIII was, but now everyone's cool with that.
Yeah but I suppose the fact this was their 7th game made a difference too.There were a lot of RPGs on console, before FFVII, and around the same time, that targeted more of a young adult demographic in the same way.

A lot of what it tries to do narratively is also pretty old-hat, for the genre, as well. I was actually observing recently that Shinra's motivations are essentially the same as the Law-side antagonists' motivations in Shin Megami Tensei II (not that it's especially original in either case).
