Final Fantasy 7 Remake thread (including gameplay trailer)

I'm on board. I'm just hoping we get dual-audio language tracks with subtitles.

Considering the episodic nature of release, I think putting in dual-audio only makes sense.

I'm absolutely all in even if it's shit, but I don't expect anyone else to feel that way (though no doubt some others do).



I like most of Barret's redesign but sunglasses... really? There isn't actually much different to Barret, which I'm really surprised about. His proportions are much more seemingly realistic, while other parts are just much more prominent, like his scar (if you look back he's always had that scar). The biggest differences are probably the pouches on his legs.

All I can say is I really want this game I just hope we don't have to wait until like 2018 to get it.

This game will be episodic? That's a deal breaker for me I was really looking forward to this too.

If I'm to be perfectly honest, what I'm actually hoping they mean by episodic, and would actually go full approval for, is that the game would be split into Parts 1, 2, and 3, into three different games on three different discs. They would span the length of each original disc with extra content to make them longer and fuller games.

That's only my hope, though. No word on that officially.

I REALLY hope that Part 1 isn't just until you leave Midgar. I really hope there won't be a year in between parts.

Well this is Square we're talking about. Things could go beautifully or horribly wrong. But FF7 should bring on the pressure, like a double edged sword. If you carelessly wield its name, it will come back to hurt you. They know this, and so maybe they'll do us right with all this.

I'm excited to think about what episodic content could offer. It could potentially offer a lot and bring out the best in FF7, but it could also drag its name through the mud. The only way we're really going to find out which, is what SE tells us is going to happen, or maybe even only when the game comes out.

I hope it's more along those lines or as Thrashinuva put it. I'm all for content that's spread across multiple discs like the original FF7 was. I hope you had a good time when you played it. FF7 was my entry point into the series and I do agree with you there. This remake is graphically impressive so far and those graphics are likely going to take up huge amounts of space.

www.toonzone.net/2015/12/new-information-on-the-final-fantasy-vii-remake/ one of the newer articles on it

“The idea that a remake of Final Fantasy VII would not fit into a single release was there from the very beginning. We still can’t share more information about its multiple parts, but please look forward to future announcements.”

“If we dedicated our time to a single release, parts of it would become summarized. We’d have to cut some parts, and additional parts would come in few, so rather than remake the game as a full volume, we decided to do multiple parts.”

How exactly the game will be split remains unclear, but the intention on Square’s part is to recreate as much of the game as they can and add new things to discover, using the increased focus on individual parts to make that a possibility. Square Enix has since further detailed to gaming press that instead of concluding in one entry, multiple entries are being considered in development. Each entry will have its own unique story. As a gaming experience, each entry will have the volume of content equal to a full-sized game.”

thats the rest of the quote from the translated famitsu interview, so far i approve of everything theyve done, theyve straight up said crossdressing cloud is in the game, the atb system is still in its just been updated to be more 'actiony', kind of like how characters and enemies will move around in star ocean, theyve stated this is done specifically so they wont have to cut anything out and itll let them add stuff back in, barrets and clouds designs look like an updated form of Nomuras artwork for the original game and cloud so far has been his arrogant ass self and barrets got his wallet, so im happy that they havent been changing the characters to be more pc, wedges voice needs a little audio work, but i actually think the voice fits him really well, hes a scared guy with almost no self confidence whos doing what he thinks right (and hoping itll make him famous in the process)

btw, anybody ever notice the TEXAS sign in ff7? >P

I will be 100% honest when I say I am not a fan of FFVII, like to me FFVII is to me as what Frozen is to most people. Growing Up in Jr High and High School EVERYONE was talking about FF7, if you said you were a gamer, everyone automatically assumed you had played it. And if it turns out that, like me, you hadn't, then people treated you like you were a weirdo. FFVII was ruined for me in its entirety simply due to the fans of the games who went to my schools with me constantly gushing over it, to the point I knew the games major plot points, characters, and surprise twists without having even played it.

That being said I am SO EXCITED for the FFVII Remake, if only for the fact they are dropping the turn based combat, to an action based form of combat that melds the KH style of combat with, from what I understand according to interviews, Dissidia's BravePoints/HealthPoints system. It just sounds fucking awesome. Also the fact you can, again according to interviews, play as a single character aside from cloud through the entirety of the game IF you want? I DONT always have to be in control of the emo chocobo aside from that first mission? I can play as Barret, Tifa, Yuffie, Vincent, or Red XIII when ever I want?! Yes please sign me the fuck up.

They are getting rid of my least favorite aspects of the older FF games; the turn based combat, and they are giving me the ability to play as any character I want aside from Cloud. Regardless of its horrid fan base, and my bad experiences with it growing up, I am excited for this game. And who knows, maybe they will find a way to kill off Aerith but still let her be playable after, like having her spirit come down to continue functioning as a party member only to depart after the games ending, I'll actually give a fuck about her and put effort into leveling her up.
