OMW to Sony now.

Remember this moment.

 

[Astral Dog]

This is insane.

 

[Amir0x]

Worst case scenario? The unique "feel" and humour of the original will be scrapped in favour of FFXIII-style po-faced melodrama (seriously, can you imagine present-day Square Enix including goofy shit like the cross-dressing, the Honeybee Inn, and Cloud going snowboarding?). Most of the retcons and tryhard new characters from the Compilation will probably be shoehorned into the plot. The turn-based combat will be replaced by Advent Children-esque gravity-defying, flippy-dippy bullshit. No World Map (we'll be lucky if we even get half the towns from the original game). DLC cashgrabs, possibly including Gold Chocobos, rare Materia and Lightning costumes for Tifa, Yuffie and Aerith. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if they somehow found a way for Lightning herself to make an appearance, since she's officially the "female Cloud" and all. VOICE ACTING, the lack of which made most of the cutscenes in FFVII actually bearable.

Nope. As flawed and dated as it is, I'll stick with the original, thanks.

FFVII has all that shit in spades anyway, albeit reduced flippy dippy shit. Any po-faced bit of melodrama you can call out from FFXIII, I can show you ten more such scenes from FFVII. And I hate FFXIII.

I'm going to sleep for an hour and half, I hope nothing gets leaked by then.

take a video of the crowd when the moment comes ;___;

 

[Caipirinha]

Pretty much need Sony to deliver at least 1 if not 2 or 3 of those big 3 to redeem this E3. Bethesda was great but other than that every other conference so far has been boring as fuck with no megatons.

Stay safe!

Make sure everyone sits down on time. No late start!

hes Yoshida stupid ass drunk and get him to spill the beans

 

[holysan]

oh man the Sony conference is going to be disastrous at this rate. The rumour mongers have spiraled out of control, too many crazy rumours to ever be true and yet the fans holding onto these tidbits like lifeboats in the middle of tumultuous seas... oh it's over.

It's the same story every year. Amazing how they never learn.

 

[YankeeDonB]

OMW to Sony now.

Despite your totally sensible and healthier-in-the-long-run skepticism when it comes to this kind of unsubstantiated hype explosion... Are you feeling it just a little?

 

[Warewolf]

Could the prophecy be true?

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

OMW to Sony now.

Have fun!

 

[Godcannon]

No matter what happens. I'm probably gonna have a meltdown regardless.

 

[FF Seraphim]

No matter what happens. I'm probably gonna have a meltdown regardless.

It would be impossible not to at this moment lol

 

[ponpo]

This needs to be at least 6 blu rays long for me to have any faith.

Knights of the Round should be its own disc.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

okay

THE BANNERS HAVE BEEN UNITED ;_;

 

[HonMirin]

Remember this moment.

 

[amnesiac]

Can you play FFVII without knowing the story of the other ones?

 

[LuuKyK]

OMW to Sony now.

Are you going cosplayed as Stella? Please scream I LIVE when Hashimoto goes up the stage to announced FVII:R.

 

[A_Gorilla]

Shenmue 3 is never happening people. At this point there is a better chance of Trespasser 2 being made.

Deal with it.

 

[Loudninja]

Can you play FFVII without knowing the story of the other ones?

Yes.

 

[Kagari]

Despite your totally sensible and healthier-in-the-long-run skepticism when it comes to this kind of unsubstantiated hype explosion... Are you feeling it just a little?

I'm deeply excited!

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Can you play FFVII without knowing the story of the other ones?

Yes.

 

[StealthGoblin]

If a FFVII remake is actually shown this year, wouldn't it be shown tomorrow at SE's conference, and not today?

Not necessarily.

 

[orioto]

I still can't believe it, just cause it's way too much work, i mean a next gen graphics game with the scale (locations, characters, enemies..) of FFVII.. It's insane. There is a catch somewhere.

We'll see. But that conf could deliver on a legendary level, when you think everyone is focused on 3 games but there could be a loot of pretty incredible things happening there to, like a super impressive Uncharted4 demo, new QD game, some GoW teaser ? And who knows with all the first party Sony has..

 

[Amentallica]

OMW to Sony now.

You're at the conference?

 

[dragonzdogma]

Can you play FFVII without knowing the story of the other ones?

Yes.All final fantasy games for that matter.

 

[hidys]

Can you play FFVII without knowing the story of the other ones?

All FF games take place in different universe and are in a story sense unrelated to each other.

So yes.

Kind of like listening to Benji without listening to Red House Painters.

 

[ponpo]

FFX is CANONICAL PREQUEL so you should play that first.

 

[jimmypython]

The FFX-2 or XIII's ATB system would be great for the remake...

 

[Xpliskin]

I'm deeply excited!

-

I'm preparing for the meltdowns, popcorn is ready.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Going to bed now, i hope i wake up to some amazing news...shenmue or ff7 remake.

Same. Sweet dreams

 

[RPGCrazied]

I'm deeply excited!

Cross your fingers for us.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Seemed to work with Zelda. And they're aiming for it with Dragon Quest. Maybe overkill?

They'd never do that with just FF7. I think an FF game of that sort is inevitable, but it'll probably be more like Dissidia, with a bunch of FF worlds together.

 

[Nekofrog]

What will destroy the internet more, an FF7 remake being confirmed or the absolute nonpresence (or worse, presentation of the PC port with a real release date) after all of the rumormongering?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

OMW to Sony now.

jesus christ

this is getting serious

holy shit

it's going to happen isn't it

 

[Rainy]

I'm deeply excited!

Ahhhhhhhhh

 

[Lee Chaolan]

Hope it's true!

 

[Makoto Yuki]

FFX is CANONICAL PREQUEL so you should play that first.

Lol, that's just FFX-2's bullshit with

Spoiler

Shinra talking about harvesting energy from the Farplane. Your dead friends are fueling your vehicles,

think about that. Much like Fossil Fuels...

Witcher 3 was bigger than FF7 i think
and its an even smaller company

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

okay

Oh my god.

So good.

 

[RPGCrazied]

If Kagari is deeply excited, this has to be true, right?

 

[Yawnier]

Nobody has come out and specifically denied that this is going to be showed tonight

I'm feeling good about this one guys.

 

[XanaviF30]

Agree. I'm yawning over here. These conference is causing me to want to nap. I guess it's a good thing. Need to have my body ready for the megaton that Sony is about to drop.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

LIGHT THE TORCHES

Yeah it's dumb, making the claims its canon worse

Nope.
