Remake Wall Market compared to original

[Krypto]

Anyone else feel like the original Wall Market is a location you'd only visit if you had to, where Remake's is one you would actually want to on a Friday night?

Remake's has this extremely chill vibe, with all the people having a good time. Go there, eat some food, hit the gym with Jules, watch a show, get a hand... massage?

To me, the entire Don Corneo section just doesn't really match up with how the new version of Wall Market feels compared to the original.

Thoughts?

Yea, Wall Market in the Original do showcase that it is a place that is kinda bad and is run by goons and best to avoid.

In the Remake, Aerith is the one who is afraid of that place and not Cloud. In the Original it is vice versa, and they do imply that place is questionable but Cloud do learn that Wall Market operates differently and needs getting used to. Kinda the whole point of the Sidequests you do for Chocobo Sam and co.

On the surface it tries to be like Gold Saucer but if you venture around the corners of Wall Market there are actually danger shown in he Remake. I appreciate that visual story telling. Its a place where yeah you can be entertained but with 0 guarantee of your safety and might get robbed any second unlike Gold Saucer imo

I think both are the same.
In remake we get to see it in more detail, which would have still had the same character. I would say the original looked more run down.
Both look just as seedy, it's just in one we have these pristine, and clean graphics.

On that note, how do we get to the chests blocked by goons in the back alleys? I can't attack them, they won't attack me. Spoiler help appreciated please, I've finished the area and am in the sewers now, but if I go back I'd like to get them at the end.

I googled for an answer and saw that once you advance far enough in the game, like to chapter 14 or so, the chests are no longer blocked by NPC's

The only place that I would possibly be interested in being in is the new Honey Bee Inn's club room. It would probably be good for a show and karaoke. It reminded me a bit of New Orleans. A little denser buildings, but less crowded. I imagine they'd smell about the same.

I wouldn't want to be around the trouble that would come with the arena or Corneio's.

When you go back in Chapter 14, all those chests are accessible. They aren't missable unless you go to Chapter 15 where everything prior to that is now missable, including side quests.

The arena would be fun. It's similar to Medieval Times here in Toronto.

I'm thinking more like underground cockfighting rings, rather than legitimate themed restaurants.

As an aside, I have always wanted to go to MT. I heard they had some shady anti worker nonsense in the past year or so. Not sure if that was just one location or organization wide.

Yeah, I'll stay away from cockfighting.

Wouldn't know. I live in Canada.

You still get robbed in the Gold Saucer
