It's not gonna happen. Considering the evolution of modern RPG combat and popularity of games like Dark Souls, it's most likely going to be action-oriented. Nomura directing basically seals the deal

First Sony dropped a decent size bomb.
Then they decided to call in a napalm strike.
Then they said fuck it, drop the nuke.
And with it being FFVII, well a fucking meteor was dropped on everyone as well.
Thank god for the happening bunker!

FFVII Remake? Don't fuck this up Square keep it true to the original. Don't fucking skimp on the budget for the music like you did for FFXHD.
All live instruments and all real synthesizers for everything. Mixed and mastered all by top dollar professionals. Make sure the levels of the instruments match the original songs.
INCLUDE THE ORIGINAL MUSIC.
I hope they are smart about this so they can make it run at a good framerate. If areas are segmented off like the original game. It allows more polished visuals and better performance. And also retains the original feeling. Instead of this garbage with FFXV trying to be top notch visual open world game on hardware that CLEARLY CANNOT HANDLE IT.
PC port that doesn't suck would be nice too.
Jesus just fixing your existing PC ports of FF games would make me SOO happy. (XIII,XIII-2, III, IV , IV-TAY)

Waking up to this must be pretty surreal.
I love FF7.
I love Tifa.
But this isn't the king of RPG.
CT or FFT were better.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
It must be just like experiencing Christmas as a child.
look at this master troll
he knows: "i've won".
That pic is hilarious.
Yep, on active and at the highest speed, FF VII had the fastest battle system of the PSX Final Fantasies. There are some animations from the enemy that linger too long, but it is much, much faster than VIII and IX.

Triforce of Nostalgia (FFVII Remake)
Triforce of Feelings (The Last Guardian)
Triforce of Completion (Shenmue 3)
As long as they don't outsource they should be ok.
Or, y'know, have the team behind FFXIV remake on it.
The salt is hilarious.

Indeed. My favorite part of FFVII is how sometimes the game straight up feels like a horror game. The moment Sephiroth infiltrates Shinra Building, the party wakes up in prison and there was blood everywhere and THIS playing at the background.
Then there's the cargo ship incident, how it was so chilling at the beginning with red tail being silly.
Shinra mansion in Nibelheim. Place legit looks haunted.
Cave of the Gi. Amazing atmosphere.
Temple of the Ancients. Disturbing place.
The shot of Midgar Zolom getting impaled by a giant pole.
Best part is how the game balances all the darker, serious moments with lighthearted counterpart. I seriously love the Junon bit with Cloud disguising as one of the soldiers, entering bar and seeing the turks chilling around, drinking, the goofy minigames, all the things that's happening in Wall Market and Honeybee Inn, Gold Saucer, relaxing at motherfucking Costa Del Sol and kicking a random kid's football.
So good man.

They should have let Mr Square Enix troll do the reveal.
He should get his moment of victory!

Replaced with an Asura's Wrath-style button prompt followed by a single slow-motion punch.
It's either this or nothing.

April Fool's!
My body is ready.
Which is a shame kinda, they've done such a fantastic job I would love to see what they can do with ff7
davepoobond
you can't put a price on sparks
i have my doubts that they are going to leave the story untouched and that they are going to make the gameplay exactly the same. i also wonder if they are going to integrate Crisis Core story and Advent Children story into the mix

The music for FFX-HD was actually done by two of the original composers Junya Nagano and Hamauzu, but the budget for the music was so pathetic that it resulted in everything being really inconsistent.
Some tracks that got the right amount of attention and love are FANTASTIC. But not every track was able to be given the same amount of time and attention thanks to the no doubt shitty budget Square gave them.
By far and large, the music budget should've dwarfed everything else for X-HD. To do it right.

This week man. Fucking 3 teratons, Fallout 4 looking sweet, Smash Characters Ryu, Roy and Lucas (Sunday counts ok), Xbone backwards combatibility, Halo 5 looking alright, Horizon!, No Man's Sky looking sweet as ever, Uncharted 4 wowing me, a couple other things I've forgotten because of fucking Sony and the ten tons of mics they dropped. Oh and yeah, Heavensward on friday!
God, I hope not. It'll be like a different game.
As someone who prefers a more deliberate, strategic approach to combat, I absolutely loathe the so-called "modern" RPG combat style. Why everyone has such a hard-on for running in circles around the monsters in between moves is beyond me.
I'm holding out hope that they don't fuck it up that way.

Wait, what? They are going to use the same ridiculous and inconsistent world character models? The best thing about FFVIII was how consistent and cohesive of a step up it was compared to FFVII. Since this is an actual remake, the only possible reason to do this is for nostalgia purposes only. But even when the game was brand new this really annoyed me. Regardless, if they keep the battle system the same, this will be a day one for me. I still think ATB/Turn Based is better than the majority of other "modern" party battle systems out there in pretty much every game that's not Dragon's Dogma. FFXV might actually change my mind, but so far that's how I see it.

whoops. misread it. I did think that was just his wrist armor or whatever, but ya know what... slowing it down, it looks like his left hand does have some shit on it, that his right hand appears not to. I have no idea, but I'm definitely intrigued. good lookin out
edit: it looked like his left hand was just cut off completely by the bottom of the screen, but there's a couple of frames where his arm swings upward and you totally should be able to see a hand, if there was a hand there.... I ain't seeing a hand.
I'm talking more about the metal cuff...thing.
It starts at the elbow, but has that segment in the middle that's ridiculously skinny.
How does someone's arm from the elbow down fit through that thing unless they're sickly thin?

It was pretty great to watch, I had a smile during his reaction. I wish I could feel that for FFVII, I'd probably lose my mind over 8 though.
Calm down. They haven't said anything yet.

If they paid any attention to you, there's so many situations that would need tweaking (removal?) to fit modern standards. I hope they don't change anything and instead of the booklet there's a 'whatever' note.

Awesome, Cloud finally has hands

Cloud has always been a very thin figure. The only thing more ridiculous than the Buster Sword is that Cloud could easily spin it around like a fan.

I prefer VI, V, IV, IX and too many other outer-franchise RPGs for this to be king.
But since you insisted on using the word hater, you hereby relinquish all rights to unwarrantedly diss other games.

Then I feel like his upper arms should be thinner, too.
Arms don't just...shrink halfway down like that.
I swear I'm not trying to nitpick, it just looks really bizarre to me.
Like, I'm imagining him taking that thing off to sleep and he's got some kind of baby arm thing goin' on.
