Perfection.

you know what's good too ? Toriyama isn't main director.

Though I am sure he'll be event planner,just like he was in the original.

Toriyama is good at specific things ,but not for the overall vision.

 

[JeffZero]

God, I'm still in shock.

Squaresoft and Star Trek practically raised me. They were the only real constants in my life growing up and Final Fantasy VII was at the center of it all.

I'm going to need to write one hell of an article on this one.

 

[Hattori]

I've never played this so I'm mildly excited

 

[RPGCrazied]

2 ish, as much as I loved it, I hope we can speed it up...

Can't wait to hunt Chocobos and breed a gold one again!

I remember it was a pain in the ass to get.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

The dream came true tonight. The trifecta of games never supposed to happen are here. Life is complete!!!! I have seen things tonight man...

Could be MORE perfect. Capcom could take that stick out of their ass and announce Mega Man Legends 3 to be back in production! Won't happen, but one could dream!

 

[Deleted member 80556]

Exactly, hence it's multiplatform.

Oh yeah, I'm not arguing about that. It's pretty clear this is going to other platforms.

 

[cartman414]

Ok guys. You are now officially obligated to remake V and VI.

 

[conweller]

Might want to spoiler tag that last part, I haven't played any other Final Fantasy but ffxiii/2 so.... :/

Good point, sorry.

Spoiler

The Frog doesn't make it to the other side. It dies, usually getting run over by a truck.

 

[Yu Narukami]

Woke up earlier today to watch the conference spoiler-free. I almost cried when I saw the video. Did GAF survive the announcement?

 

[Lindsay]

Do I really need to say anything.............. ?

;___________;

I will be FOREVER happy from this day on.

;___________;

My whole life propose now is to keep living till the release of the game... then I can die with no regrets.

So you're gonna die on the day its released?! At least live long enough to PLAY it!!

 

[Platy]

Lets hope to be more of a reimagining/reboot/sequel than actual a faifhfull remake


Also this is totaly going to take Last Guardian's place as "will appear fist and be actualy released 32 years later"

 

[RPGCrazied]

Ok guys. You are now officially obligated to remake V and VI.

You mean VIII and IX.

 

[Loudninja]

Oh yeah, I'm not arguing about that. It's pretty clear this is going to other platforms.

Kagari said this is basically the same deal as SFV

 

[Squire]

Yeah, never thought he'd direct the remake.

I don't think it could've ever been anyone else, honestly. You could argue his entire career has been building up to this moment.

 

[Nephtis]

Now that is a crazier dream than FF7 RM.

I mean, think about it. You know when Cloud talks

Spoiler

about Xenogears during his mako poisoning state?



"a billion mirror fragments... small.. light... taken... angel's... singing voices... xeno...gears"

If they include that line I'm going apeshit

 

[vinnygambini]

Quoted for next page for discussion of multi-platform:

Hmmmm... I just remembered something.

If I am not mistaken, Squaresoft had signed exclusive console rights of FF7 to Sony, and in turn Squaresoft had sold PC rights to Eidos at the time*

So, if the above still holds true, PS4 and PC releases are all that will come of this - Xbox platform will not get it.

*My memory could fail me, Kagari please correct me if so.

 

[plutoknight]

Woke up earlier today to watch the conference spoiler-free. I almost cried when I saw the video. Did GAF survive the announcement?

Sort of, but then the Shenmue 3 thing happened and GAF was dead.

 

[Frumix]

Yeah, he's really not. I can already see the new and 'improved' character design and the real time battle system.

But he was the character designer in the original game as well.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

That's not easy.

It is easy if you save before entering the Chocobo Ranch. You can enter and re enter till you have the correct gender combinations for Great, Good, and Wonderful Chocobos.

Edit: Reload Save I mean.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

wake me up when they remake 8

They're never going to remake 8 (for the greater good) or 9 (because nobody cares) just be happy we're getting a remake of the best Final Fantasy game on Playstation.

 

[paragonpro]

Woke up earlier today to watch the conference spoiler-free. I almost cried when I saw the video. Did GAF survive the announcement?

Nope, I couldn't get on Gaf for about 30 minutes between this and the last guardian

 

[Paertan]

Wow I did not expect this. After so many years of so many MANY rumors xD It is actually happening!

 

[crazyprac]

[DangerMouse]

Sounded like Louisoix in 14, so David Lodge? I think.

Yeah, I could see that, I also thought it sounded like Lodge, I was reminded of his Jiraiya voice.

 

[boredandlazy]

wake me up when they remake 8

All staff at Square have forgotten about anything to do with that game in a dramatically contrived manner...

 

[illmatic22]

Celebrate. This is our day.

 

[Nephtis]

See I'm not the only one that would be freaking out like that lol

Bring on Xenogears (full on) remake.

Spoiler

Especially if XCX story fails to deliver.

I don't remember this at all..

DAT (FF8 spoiler)

Spoiler

TIME COMPRESSION, YO!!

 

[caesar]

Advent Children has the same atmosphere. You can tell Nomura really wants to a game like that and KH can't really be any darker than it only occasionally is now.

Advent children was terrible tho

 

[dickroach]

I really hope there's an option to keep subs on, and turn the voice acting off. I've been wanting that in a FF game since they started using voice acting

 

[Voror]

Wonder how the more light hearted story elements will work in the more realistic art style. I hope they can retain the charm of the original.

I really hope so. Crazy stuff like the whole crossdressing bit should stay in there. I'd imagine the Golden Saucer will still be around too.

 

[GregLombardi]

I do find it very strange that FF6 has remained untouched all these years. I understand the machinations that Square-Enix has gone through...public company...the debacle with 14, even 13, 13-2, the transition from handheld to mobile...so many changes in the company.

It's the only FF that really hasn't received the dedication it deserves. Would love for a 3DS remake or something. Also I presume Kagari will not comment on this post! :0)

 

[Nephtis]

I don't remember this at all..

Well....

Here's the PC version recording of it lol

GAF surprisingly stayed stable through the TLG and FFVII announcement. Then Shenmue 3 happened and all hell broke loose on the servers.

Did not disappoint.

 

[Otakumegane]

2017-2018 release date?

 

[Squire]

Advent children was terrible tho

It is, but it's definitely a big part of why people want a remake or more accurately, how a lot of them expect it to look and feel. That old tech demo didn't create those expectations purely by itself.

 

[JeffZero]

It's always been my understanding that VI just didn't make as much of a splash in Japan as it has elsewhere and that's sort of been the assumed rationale behind the company's refusal to do as much with it.

It's unfortunate, of course.

 

[RPGamer92]

Looking back at PSX, they could've done the best troll ever if they had held off on the "port" trailer from PSX to now and acting like that was a big deal than having Boyes go over to Hashimoto and be like "nah guys we be trollin" would've been a lot more impactful imo.

 

[Skilletor]

I'm glad it doesn't look like Nomura is leaving SE. He is my favorite character designer ever.

This move seems like SE has a lot of confidence in him.

God dam, the music. THE MUSIC.

 

[Ray Down]

2017-2018 release date?

Aiming for 2017 for the 20th anniversary.

 

[cartman414]

You mean VIII and IX.

No. IX would be great, and VIII certainly could stand for a remake, but not at the expense of V/VI.

It's always been my understanding that VI just didn't make as much of a splash in Japan as it has elsewhere and that's sort of been the assumed rationale behind the company's refusal to do as much with it.

It's unfortunate, of course.

A Western movement made a 3ds update of Majora's Mask happen at the very least. And IIRC Nomura seemed interested in making 5/6 happen.

 

[plutoknight]

Well....

Spoiler

Here's the PC version recording of it lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2Y_R60r-0Y

After all these years I've never noticed that at all.

Wow. Next you'll tell me Fei Fong Wong founded Shinra.

 

[vypek]

2017-2018 release date?

I'd guess 2018 or 2019

 

[Night Hunter]

But he was the character designer in the original game as well.

He also didn't have creative control back then. But it doesn't matter anyway. We'll see how it turns out, maybe I will be dead wrong, which I doubt, but still.

Other than that, I guess other directors at Square would have put this through the meat grinder as well. So whatever.

 

[crazyprac]

Thanks. Well there it is.

 

[Tribes of Trusty]

Well, fuck me sideways. I never thought it would happen.

One more thing to cross on my "Nah never going to happen" list.

 

[BY2K]

I'm gonna need a few things out of this remake.

1. Keep the combat as close as possible to the original. I want it turn-based at least.
2. A new side-quest, non-canon if need be, to bring back Aerith.
