[Twookie]

FUCK YESSSSSSSSSS

remind me of kingdom hearts, should be good

 

[blackjaw]

Was skeptical but this looks fucking fantastic. And FF7 is my fav game of all time so I was pretty skeptical.

 

[The Silver]

that bar by their names seems to fill up when they attack.(or it fills up regardless because all we see is them attacking) It isn't the limit break bar since that's on the right, only other thing I can think of is the ATB bar.

 

[Bl@de]

Do we know which engine this is using by now?

Interesting wording regarding the "console debut".

It will release on PC. But I doubt it will be out day 1. I expect it to arrive a lot later

 

[dmr87]

Nomura, do what you want.

Gat damn

 

[Astral Dog]

NX and PC are definetly a fair possibility,and Xbox One too, much later

 

[Durante]

I'm betting UE4.

I'd love for that to be the case, because UE4 is awesome.

The (apparently) fast progress would also indicate that they are using some technology with mature tools.

I'm just wondering if we have anything official to go on at this point.

It's UE4.

Neat!

 

[Suzushiiro]

We've only seen like five seconds of combat, but I'd hope that the system they eventually make (the game is clearly very early in development so all of this shit can change) is a sort of halfway point between XV and the original VII system.

 

[Randam]

Don't like the design and it being an action rpg kills the little interest that was left.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

I didn't want to play the exact same game, I wanted to play an updated version of the game with new and interesting ways to shake up the turn based mechanics. I didn't want another fucking action RPG.

But whatever. I guess I should just accept that modern AAA gaming has left me behind.

Well, if you want a turn-based RPG with big production values, Dragon Quest XI and Persona 5 are coming.

I mean, I love turn-based combat (if done right, of course), but I'm not opposed to RPGs that don't have it.

People get excited to easily.
I've wanted this remake forever but I'm not liking some of the changes.
Also how are they gonna do Barrets swearing?
He talks now

You can swear in video games.

 

[Fitts]

Yep. Anyone who loved the original will still be there day one for this, and it allows them to attract the millions of new(er than PSOne) gamers who mostly wouldn't couch a turned based RPG.

This gives me hope that there will be a good compromise.

 

[Sciortino]

My hype for XV just vanished. Give me FF7 remake now please.

 

[dark10x]

Just realized that the combat shown was running similarly to the PSX original.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Looks kind of bad, the level design looks linear and the combat scenes looked like they ran at 10fps. Not looking good at all.

Sounds like you never played FFVII.

 

[The Sum of Zero]

Holy shit, just woke up and saw this. Hype level is over the moon right now.

 

[Green Mamba]

So do SE make console Final Fantasies that aren't attempting to be babby's first action game anymore or what?

 

[evilromero]

Action RPG? Now we're talking! Wasn't interested before. Now I am.

 

[ahdurian]

God damnnnnn

 

[SenkiDala]

I'm taking this on PC, yeah!

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Daaaaamn, looks nice! Getting some Versus XIII vibes from this. Going to be great, I'm sure.

Spoiler

Too much glare on his sword, though.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Shame, I didn't like anything about this - how it looked or the new battle system. :/

 

[Meccanical]

Fucking Versus Returns.

I cannot fucking wait to play the

Spoiler

Barret vs Dyne

fight.

Barret looks amazing in those glasses and his voice reminds me of Jet Black.

I love it.

 

[Uthred]

That defend command makes it seem like it might not go full Kingdom Hearts? Maybe just a super-flashy & really fast-paced ATB of sorts with possible AI controlled companions when you aren't in control yourself? So a kind of mix of FFXII & FFXIII?

Hopefully that is indeed what the menu implies

 

[Kagari]

Action RPG? Now we're talking! Wasn't interested before. Now I am.

It's a command system. Also note the ATB bar.

 

[victreeb3l]

Damn that looks great. Action RPG is even better!

Edit: Oh I guess its not fully action RPG? Either way I'm hyped.

 

[jmga]

PC day one maybe.

 

[KeyChainDude]

PSX DELIVERS!!! VERSUS XIII IS ALIVE OMGGGGGG HYPE HYPE HYPE

 

[Joey Ravn]

have square ever realeased a game day 1 on pc?

Uh, yeah. The latest is Just Cause 3 on December 1 on all three platforms.

Unless you mean "Final Fantasy", in which case not. But then again, it took them more than 1 year to bring the PC remaster to PS4, so...

 

[Astral Dog]

Action RPG? Now we're talking! Wasn't interested before. Now I am.

Where you expecting something else ?

 

[muteki]

That battle display and various details is going to change at least 10 times between now and launch, not sure if it is worth dissecting already lol.

 

[Jarmel]

It's clear they're going for FF15 although they'll probably tweak it. It's not turn-based.

The UI is almost certainly a placeholder at this point.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

It looks so freaking good.

 

[Tsunamo]

Totally okay with it feeling like Nomuras Versus, looked amazing.

Now when it releases is another question entirely.

 

[Lulubop]

Omg.

 

[DecoReturns]

I'm assuming no random battles too.
Yeah maybe this isn't for me, I don't really like action RPG.
I wanna hear the music.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Nomura is basically taking all his Versus 13 ideas and putting them into this game, which is great and just what i wanted to see.

 

[Wingus]

No issues at all with this being an Action RPG now. Bring it on.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

But HP is on that gauge's right side, if I'm not blind?

Nevermind I looked at the gifs. It's filling up when he attacks so it's probably the limit gauge.

What were they trying to blow up at the Shinra facility. It's been so long.

 

[Good Guy Gone Bad]

Looks AMAZING.

 

[Shepard]

But is it actually action based or just really flashy ATB system (like FFXIII)?

What is that gauge?

And why would there be a DEFEND command instead of a button, if it was completely action?

Now that you pointed out the DEFEND command I'm a lot less concerned.. No point in using it if it was a full action kinda game (like KH), right? Hype rising.

 

[Terra_Ex]

Looked damn good to me, excited to play this again.

 

[sn00zer]

Nomura is basically taking all his Versus 13 ideas and putting them into this game, which is great and just what i wanted to see.

Yup dream come true scenario

 

[purg3]

This is the game I want. Give it to me.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

That ui is slick!

 

[LordOcidax]

I can't believe that square fuck*** my favorite game of all time. That combat looks like sh****. Sad day...

 

[rubius01]

I would tap those breaks on the hype train. Nomura can make some badass hype trailers, but I'm gonna wait until I see much more than a few seconds of alpha gameplay and some cutscenes.

 

[Sanctuary]

Not to mention an Attack command. If it's just action based that wouldn't be a menu option.

HMMMMMM

Because it's going to be the command you would use in place of "mash X" on trivial fights. Instead of mashing X, you select attack and it keeps auto attacking until you select something else or everything is dead?
Anyway, it's pretty at least. Enjoy it before the "optimization" kicks in.

 

[Ran rp]

VERSUS XIII LIVES ;-;-;-;

save us nomura

From Nomura, two phantoms were born

 

[Peterthumpa]

If this comes to PC, with possibility to play at 4k with Reshade presets, I'll be ready to die in piece.

 

[the_sun_king]

Barret looks amazing in those glasses and his voice reminds me of Jet Black.

That's cause it was Jet Black's English voice actor Beau Billingslea voicing him.
