With the impending release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, there could be a lot of
discussion around the game. To ensure that we remain fair and open for people
who either are still playing the game upon release or have yet had chance to
play it, we’re going to introduce a period of embargo on new threads. These
rules for new threads will only apply to VII Rebirth and all other games will
still be allowed to be discussed. This will be how it works. Separate
“Megathreads” will be created for the demo and final launch respectively. These
threads will be your place to discuss the games and where spoilers will be
permissible. If you do not want to see spoilers, avoid these threads, they will
be labelled with [Spoilers]. These will be in place until 4 weeks after the
release of the game, after which any new threads with spoilers should be
labelled as such with [Spoiler] or [Spoilers]. Do not post spoilers in the
titles of your posts, even if you do have the relevant labels. Please be
respectful of other gamers and community members during this time. Normal rules
will still apply. ### What if I post anyway? Posts will be removed and repeat
offenders will be deemed as flagrantly breaking rules and banned for increasing
amounts of times. This includes with comments that aim to spoil the game for
others. ### We already know what happens, we’ve played the OG! This is a new
game where we’re not even certain how close it sticks to the OG game. There are
going to be differences and new story elements regardless. We don’t even know
how that scene will unfold. ## TL;DR: Embargo is in place from today until EOD
28th March to avoid spoilers. Megathreads will be created for demo and final
release. From 29th March onwards, spoiler tags are required. We may update this
thread with more clarification and information in the future
As it wasn’t stated here, the same embargo that is in place on !finalfantasy@lemmy.world will apply here. All discussion should be had within megathreads on that community.
