Final Fantasy 7 Remake thread (including gameplay trailer)

Alternate costumes are a safe bet (Advent Children Tifa costume please, don't care much for her original look). Other than that Horse Chocobo Armor

So much yes, we need to flood squeenix with requests for ng+, and having those 2 have a secret ng+ only questline to add them (or at least aerith, maybe hojo had a secret lab that contains sephy and aerith clones, part of her soul could inhabit one body and sephy is from the numbers project, and as you progress both bodies are slowly dying due to the process not being perfect, and after the final battle they are put to rest and then the world 'resets' through ng+) to your party would be awesome, itd give options for people who want classic, ng+, and ng+ with extra content

also, possible voices, yay

well, they said there would be no new characters, so i dont think advent or crisis chars could be considered, but maybe zack could skirt that since he is in the original, just not playable, you do have sephy in your party for one section and aerith is a party member, so theyd be the most likely to be back in if anything, do like the idea of costumes, im actually really hoping they change the equipped weapons like they did in the original

I follow this project carefully. That lack of ATB "line dance" was a total turn off for me as I don't like any action based battle system. That actually keeps me from playing any modern games anyway. I would love to have an option to play with some classic elements as some games in the past had an option to switch between the classic and the new version (I'm looking at you Monkey Island!).. Oh well, you can't compare a remake with less to none new elements to this massive in-depth storytelling which VII will offer.

Hmm. Sounds like we may be getting part 1 in 2017. I was kind of hoping it would be next year but maybe it's not as far along as I had imagined. Also underwater line battles are already a thing >.> remember FFX? While it will always be a silly concept it still looked nice.

I was just thinking last night, how all the characters are going to probably be viable now.

Tifa is known for having a near useless Limit Break, but if we're given direct control over her, then it'll be a lot more viable as we'll probably get to control which enemies she attacks, or at least the ability to aim her direction. That, and martial artisting all the enemies is going to be real fun I bet.

I really wonder how all the characters will play or if certain characters will actually be playable at all.

Been a while since any major news dropped about this.

Square just went and said that they want to release FFVII in a way similar to the FFXIII series. No clarification on the number of entries, but expect full size games about the size of an FFXIII title, I suppose.

To anyone who hasn't played FFXIII but has played FFVII, each 13 game did have the length of a full RPG (about 40 hours), and that was without too much padding, however a lot of that was filled by cut scenes. It is my belief that the entire 13 series was used as an experimental phase and as a guidepost in order to remake FFVII. I believe they took player feedback, improved on each new entry to see what fans liked, didn't like, and respected. There are a lot of little things in the games that support this claim, though I don't believe Square has ever said anything to that effect, this is just my personal belief. I believed this to be the case before FFVII remake had even been announced and almost felt confident that they would announce it after Lightning Returns was done and feedback had properly been generated, though I thought it'd take longer than it has, however this belief does get stronger as time goes on and we learn things like this.

the only problems i have with this right now is transferability and what parts of the story are being 'modernised', ff7 does have points in the game where some things become inaccessible and it does have portions that are very linear and it has a lot of standing around talking so the gnashing of teeth coming about hallway sim 7 where youre being pushed along and constantly sitting through cutscenes is more of taking a step to the side than back since those things were in 7, it just isnt anywhere near as obvious as xiii and if they can pull in some ffxv magic for the overworld then the game will be fine

if you can take your save file for 7-1 and copy everything over to 7-2 thats fine, i dont want to lose all my hard work and exploring for gear and levelling up materia and grinding for gold saucer stuff every time a new piece comes out and square needs to be aware of this, i dont want those to be sacrificed in the name of modernisation (tweaking things a little so it doesnt take hours upon hours to master materia or build up enough gp for omni is fine, but id rather keep an unpolished system that has charm than lose it altogether)

this talking in generalisations is going to bite them much harder than if they came forward and said 'this is what were looking at streamlining and this is what needs to be changed and this is why, discuss and let us know what you think'

That would be cool, especially if they intertwined before crisis and crisis core into peoples flashbacks, core could be told through cloud sephiroth aerith and reeve, and before could be told through vincent and yuffie, and as a little bonus they could include the original games as unlockables for finding all the flashback points scattered around the places they happened, dirge would have to be part of the epilogue though
