So good! Ah man, oddly enough I'm not as excited as I was during the potential announcement at PSX last year, but I'll be super happy to be able to play this someday.
I don't think it'll be anytime soon though. Still, hopefully Nomura & Nojima can rekindle the spirit of FFVII.
Luckilly, I've never been one that needs remakes done a certain way. The original game is as is and thankfully still playable. They can do what they like with the remake, mirror the original or freshen things up, I'm down for anything so long as it's good.
I do think it was a weird timing for the announcement. Sure, E3 is big and all, but they could've done this at PSX after the lame tease since it's not like it's going to be ready soon. Waiting to just announce it now seems rather pointless and early.

When that's the case they usually say "console exclusive". "First on PS4" usually means other consoles (ie XB1)

They'll have to show gameplay at the TGS, but think about the remotely possibility of a alpha/demo code in FFXV, will it beat Destiny/GTA sales?

We already have the Advent Children music. Might as well go all the way.

You must be new here.
And probably those few months were just on making this trailer so literally the game doesn't exist yet at this right moment... PS5 launch title confirmed :'(

Turn it in to an action rpg.
YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH
I disagree with your proposition vehemently, yet respectfully.

Yeah it's coming to Xbox most likely. Otherwise they would've said "console exclusive." Great news that this is actually happening, but I wonder when we can expect this to come out.
NX, believe!

First on PS4 instead of console exclusive kinda hint that's it's coming to Xbox.

Yeah, they'll probably insert a bunch of those dopey spinoff characters into the story, cut out chunks of the honeybee inn section and other things (I expect nearly none of those goofy random encounter monsters will return), but that's alright for me. A more realistic-looking take on FF7's story with locations in beautiful 3D sounds pretty sweet to me.
Afterall, the original isn't going anywhere. In fact, that one gets a PS4 release too!

Holy shit! That's pretty insane! Nomura as director, though?
It better damn well be turn based.
I don't see how you can change it without alienating a lot of fans. You going to design real-time battle for every character? If people couldn't choose a party and control then I think they would be mad. I would be
Well it'll be a timed exclusive, so it's something I guess.
Will it be coming out to PC too?

Not really excited about this since VII has never been a favorite of mine, but I guess it had to happen eventually.
I hope they at least keep it a turn based RPG, and that the honeybee inn part doesn't get censored.

Me too.
I was so happy when they said ps4 first
I didn't want to buy a ps4 ;_; but i promised myself i would buy whatever the hell it comes out on
Yep.
And how clueless we all were, thinking Nomura got the short end of the stick and might leave SE when he no longer directed XV. lol

I've watched it three times now; I think what they're showing is supposed to be the beginning of the game. you see flowers wilting because Shinra has just started sucking the mako out of the earth yada yada.
They'll probably give a little backstory starting from the end of Crisis Core. That final shot of Cloud walking by the train tracks is probably that.
I think the narrator is moreso talking to the audience than setting up a timeframe for the game, "we remember," "at last the promise has been made," and all that shit.

That clever bastard. He had us.
I can't wait to play this game, but the feeling is bittersweet because this kind of announcement is everything that infuriates me about the modern Square Enix. All CGI, assigned to a director already working on another game that isn't coming out anytime soon, and no indication of a release window. It's like these guys make a decision and then high five each other at the conference table and immediately make a trailer of it and announce it before development has even started. There's absolutely no reason to announce a game so early, and they do it time and time again.
This time the player will kill Aeris.

already bracing myself for people's disappointment at all the changes that are going to be made. should be a fun ride 
This is my biggest fear... I don't want them to change it - just bring the graphics up to date.
VI & IX are still better.
