It would appear. So. Either that or they literally started work on this CGI trailer as soon as they got the negative feedback. Hashimoto would have had to make the call from abck stage after walking off.

There's no way this was started just recently, this had to have been in the works for quite some time.

 

[UnPatriot]

I wonder how long Sony have this as a timed exclusive....6 months at most. Most likely 1-2 months.

 

[texhnolyze]

Man this won't end well. People will rage over the tiniest details.. Especially if the combat is tweaked.

My thought as well.
There are already posts about the combat system here, action vs traditional.

 

[crinale]

Some analysts in Japan are speculating that SE in financially healthy shape is really encouraging them to take some risks. Maybe mobile game boom isn't a bad thing after all?

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Now I'm just listening to classic FFVII songs!

The long wait begins.

 

[SgtCobra]

PSX?

Perhaps the negotiations are still ongoing, if this is indeed a SFV situation then people can count a Xbox One version out.

A year imo

Will have to scrub the time (around 9 hours I think). Perfect reactions to the trinity. Super special too if you like the GT bunch and Huber and Bosman.

Also worth watching when they go up will be the Super Best Friends watch. Might be a while for that though as the MS one only went up an hour or so ago.

It won't let me scrub I saw Kyle freakout though. So amazing!

 

[Keby]

Square you know what to do. You have to use theme at least ONCE.

[Zukuu]

I dare them to mess with the battle system! Hope we will get new midi-inspired sounds. I don't like the mp3 versions of many songs.

 

[GregLombardi]

Oh man. Kagari knew this for a year and said / did nothing? That's character.

So great!

Well, if ever there were a reason for me to agree with that sentiment, this would be it.

 

[Kagari]

Hey Kagari, you say that you knew about the remake for a year now, but did you know it was going to be announced today? And is there any other info about it that you can share?

I did. I didn't believe it at first though... lol
I do know it's definitely been announced early in typical SE fashion...

 

[CosmicGroinPull]

Tifa in 1080p on my PS4. Am so hype.

OMG your avatar.... if they give her Tressfx I will faint. I won't even play the game, I'll just spend the whole time walking around and admiring her character model. Best update for a FF character design ever.

$60 for an outfits DLC? Why yes please, SE.

 

[YankeeDonB]

So very curious on how they will handle the battle system.

I'm just going to keep saying it: speed up the atb, X-2 style.

 

[UnPatriot]

A year imo

If they have it for that long, it might as well be considered an exclusive.

 

[Nyoro SF]

I wonder if people who are surprised by no Xbone version know about the Final Fantasy Type-0 player base split... wasn't it 80-20 in favor of PS4?

 

[Lynx_7]

Holy shit, I never thought I'd see the day. It's not my favorite FF game, but it's still a damn fine title and I'm excited to see what they can do. And it's always a delight to see the reactions from a much anticipated title like this. I mean, fuck, it's been like what, 10 years since that tech demo started the rumors? That's insane. This is a really risky endeavor, but I just hope it lives up to the original.

Part of me hopes they keep the turn-based system, but another part of me expects them to go real-time. This looks like an expensive project and I really don't know if Square is willing to take the risk in this day and age. Let's wait and see.

Oh wait, Nomura is directing!? Holy shit, 9 years in limbo incoming! CHOO CHOO!

Spoiler

Just kidding. Hopefully Square won't drown all their employees on sequels and an MMO again in the meantime lol.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Dat OP

 

[LouisaFerre]

No.

I just want to know...

The way things came across to a lot of people(including myself) is that Nomura wasn't really able to compromise to make his vision fit the practical constraints of the project.

If that's accurate, wouldn't it have made more sense to have Tabata handle the FF7 remake? If Nomura is really in control of this then that means that they think he can handle high budget stuff. I know you can't tell us explicitly why he was removed from FFXV, but was it because he mishandled it or more something out of his control?

 

[Krammy]

With the continued rumours flying around, I was hopeful it would be the real deal this time around. I'm can't wait to revisit this, whether it's a total re-imagining or a straight remake! Best E3 I've watched by far.

 

[master0fdeception]

I honestly thought the announcement was a self-aware joke at first...like "haha we always tease and don't give it to you so here's just another one of those times" But it seems legit.

That being said the only real bummer is that it'll come out in 5 years. I mean I first heard about final fantasy XV when I was about to enter medical school, now i'm a doctor and I'm still waiting for that shit to drop.

 

[DopeyFish]

A year imo

My bet would be 6 months if they want to launch across all plats in anniversary year

Otherwise 1 year

 

[MikeyB]

I don't understand Final Fantasy. I mean, what do you do? Is it just menu selection and managing resource bars?

 

[Mr. RHC]

I'm more confused than ever before, hopefully one day we'll know the truth. I'm just glad he's back.

Nothing really adds up. People said Nomura left Final Fantasy XV because he got nothing done and all of a sudden he is directing the most anticipated, prestigious remake of the most popular Final Fantasy VII?

NOTHING MAKES SENSE

 

[Fj0823]

So, if rumors are true, this game is PS4/PC only?

That reminds of OG ff7

Just like in more civilized times, before the DLC, before the preorders.

 

[Zomba13]

It won't let me scrub I saw Kyle freakout though. So amazing!

Weird I was able to scrub. Probably Twitch being Twitch =/

Gif of Huber Shenmue 3 if though. http://i.imgur.com/aAMn22R.gif (link as it's off topic)

He legit cries. For like half hour.

 

[BocoDragon]

Not to mention Eidos.

All in all we're not in a bad position here... Square is kept afloat by multiple things that are not classic Square focus, but at the same time games like FF are their legacy and they have a mandate to make them.

 

[ramuh]

Were not worthy... for something like this. Getting a full fleshed RPG (one of the best, besides FF6) remade sigh.

 

[Cloud Strife]

I NEeD TO SEE MORE

 

[LOCK]

Just wow. This is amazing. Hopefully it does exceedingly well and shows SE that they can remake their FFs and make money....

Because I want FF6 remade lol, and FF12 in HD.

 

[Aizo]

I did. I didn't believe it at first though... lol
I do know it's definitely been announced early in typical SE fashion...

Why do you know things?

 

[Ishida]

I did. I didn't believe it at first though... lol

Thanks for sharing!! Such an historical day for gaming.

 

[victreeb3l]

Never got a chance to play it on the PSX so I'm really excited for this.

 

[Easy_D]

Lord Nomura-sama is back ;-;

So you're saying..no way.. you mean..NOMURA IS JESUS!?

 

[Fauve]

Hopefully they keep the materia system and turn based action.
Also, hopefully they get cloud's personality right. Not advent children sad cloud but ff7 badass cloud.

THIS.

 

[RPGCrazied]

I did. I didn't believe it at first though... lol
I do know it's definitely been announced early in typical SE fashion...

Are they even doing it? Figured with how full their plate is they wouldn't attempt it.

Also I can't sleep now. Thanks Square!

 

[DangerMouse]

That gametrailers reaction was indeed glorious.

 

[Tabris]

I literally got misty eyed multiple times watching that reveal.

FF7, Xenogears, and Suikoden 2 are my favourite games of all time, and only 1 needed a remake.

 

[Ahasverus]

I do know it's definitely been announced early in typical SE fashion...

Oh, here comes the 7 years wait. Thanks kagari.

 

[Goodacre0081]

I did. I didn't believe it at first though... lol

so it should say first on PS5 if it's really this early.

 

[Yellowflashdude]

So can we expect any more megaton during the SE conference?

lol, that's pretty cool.

I know it's probably cheezy at this point but I'm excited for it.

It's important that everyone also knows the people behind uniting our 3 causes were tensuke and Darkstorne.

They were responsible for creating the symbols and banners.

Never forget this GAF.

 

[Tidd]

I was too tired to watch it live, but holy shit.. I guess I'm still sleeping and dream this shit. It can't be!

 

[Crash Station]

Yeah, gonna need an over/under on whether they'll mess with the battle system or not. I got no problem with new additions to combat like the FF4 remake or some minor balance tweaking, but make it an ARPG and I'll be crushed.

Don't really care much about whether they keep random encounters or not.

 

[Ezalc]

the worst person

IV is already remade

Says the person who wants VIII remade. Pfft c'mon bro.

 

[UnPatriot]

Timed exclusivity will guarantee that if this releases on XBO, sales will be like 90:10 in favor of PS4.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Still stupid amounts of hyped about this, but I hope they've still got the re-release of the PC version on the way. I want both, dammit.

 

[Kasper]

I just saw the Gametrailers reaction. Priceless! The megatons hit them hard.
