Did they finish remaking final fantasy 7 yet?

There's always something admirable about a creative admitting what their limits are and how that has altered the production of their art. Rather than just trying pretend the limits don't exist and spinning it as "actually I'm very clever to avoid these obvious flaws from the original", so they can cover for their bosses not giving them the budget they need to actually bring the project in successfully.
It reads like they're trying very hard to justify cutting all the "unimportant" episodes where we slowly have the characters better understand each other and the world was better fleshed out. All so that the new show can be 10 episodes a season.
Remaking things has never appealed to me, I don't get it, I have the original good thing on my shelf, i will watch it as I want. Your new thing seems like yoy wanted money but didn't want to risk making something new. Cowardly producers want more money but are so afraid of producing a thing that isn't instantly popular.
Many culture ships have already been named I enjoy almost all of them, especially the Gravitas line of ships.
Probably "Falling Outside the Normal Moral Constraints" just because I liked how much of a show off it was.
"Mistake Not..." similarly I enjoy for its clowning on ship staffed by sped up digital consciousnesses rather than some artificial intelligences.
More details, since I'm getting paid to shit now.
Nearing the end of Lie of P. It has been a very solid souls like game, that is sort of like bloodborne meets sekiro. I'd say I enjoy it more than bloodborne (the worst of the souls games for me) but far less than sekiro. It's trying to do too much I think, with the only thing that really matter the ability to perfect block a series of boss combos. Which is very meh to me, because the timing always feels not quite there. Sekiro it was forgiving enough on perfect blocks, with your side equipment being solid to assist you in a variety of ways. Lies of P arm parts are seemingly only useful between boss fights. Simply just too slow to be viable against any boss.
Wo Long, is like a weird half nioh, half sekiro but it leans towards being easier compared to Lies, with plenty of options to offset a skill deficiency and perfect parry being less needed but easier to time as well. It's a romance of three kingdoms game, which is a setting I adore so after I finish Lies I'm going to dig into some more.
Golden Idol and it's DLC have been excellent, a lovely mystery game where you figure what's happened by clues on the people in a scene and some logic, and some gaming of the systems. I'll be sad when I finish the final case, but the sequel was announced so hoping it's good.
Ravenswatch, is like a single session diablo thingy. You pick a fairy tale hero and try to stop the nightmares. You level up, and are given a choice of two traits to modify your skills, they can increase your power quite radically. It's in early access with the final act still being made. It's great to kill slightly less than an hour of time. Quite a bit of grinding to unlock all the traits for each hero though. My favorites being ice queen, beowulf, Aladdin, and the mermaid.
I've always been playing stardew with my partner maybe 3 hours a week when we have time. Been meaning to play more on my own time too but xmas gave me many games to play.
I also have Mario wonder to start.
Lies of P
Wo Long
Curse of golden idol, lemurian vampire
Ravenswatch
And power washing Sim for podcasts.
Need to get back to zelda tears, and Bayonetta 3.
EDIT: see reply for details, Most anticipated for this year is dragons dogma 2, Im.hoping it's solid, I only got 10 hours into the first one and I'm going to try to play it through but I've got stuff on my plate so we'll see.
Monster hunter wilds is the only thing I'm eager to play but it's still a year off at least unfortunately.
Then what are they fucking complaining about??? They aren't canceled then?
If the slightest push back from people who aren't even their fans upsets them so badly then I'm sorry, we might just be dealing with soft little snowflakes. It's a little criticism, get over it Mr. Rich guy.
For a nice simple train game that isn't really technical or complex I enjoy "Sid Meier's Railroads!"
It's like an arcade tycoon game. Pick an area and you can randomize the geography or use somewhat real life. You can grow cities by supplying products to them. And you'll have rival companies trying the same, you can buy them out if you're doing very well. It's a nice lite game I used to play while listening to podcasts.

Death to America comrade
slice & dice is an extremely fun rogue Lite type party based game where you roll and lock dice that have your abilities on them. Many clever synergies for items and abilities to make obscenely overpowered builds to annihilate the last bosses. Then story over to do it again. There's no progression mechanics. But you do unlock things to play with as you accomplish things in the game. Has 4 difficulties and a dozen alternate gameplay modes. It has a demo with half a run in it. And it's about 5 bucks to buy the whole thing. That all you'll pay. Try demo if you don't like walk away.
