Looking like Kingdom Hearts, count me out then.

 

[Durante]

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

I wouldn't really mind that -- I'm not in a hurry.

I'd just love for these beautiful assets to be perpetually enshrined on a platform where they can be rendered at ever-increasing fidelity. As long as that happens I'm happy.

 

[badcrumble]

So glad there's character switching. An ARPG where I can control every party member = perfection as far as I'm concerned.

 

[lucablight]

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

Thank goodness for that. I get sore fingers from button bashing on kingdom hearts enemies sponges. Would be very disappointed if this turned out to be kingdom hearts with an FF7 skin. Even a Y's style game where one character at a time influenced what you are doing would be a disappointment.

 

[Error]

Sounds like you never played FFVII.

The scenes looked like it's the same corridor based level design from 13, not a good sign.

Of course this early still so we'll see. Just saying what I saw wasn't encouraging to me.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

I guess it was expected but the changes to the combat are super disappointing for me. I guess you know turn based combat is really dead when a remake of a turn based game has its combat changed.

 

[Aureon]

I'm betting UE4.

Those particles are UE4 GPU Sprites. Can guarantee it, i've been on them all day.

 

[Kazdane]

That's just his HP. Look at the ones right next to it.

Actually no, it looks like it's the limit break meter. You can see in the gif Cloud using it when it turns red, and how it fills up with both Barret's and Cloud's strikes.

 

[artsi]

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.

Yeah that's what I think. I always thought myself that they would use a system like FF XIII, command based but the animations are so fluid you could think it's an action RPG.

The scenes looked like it's the same corridor based level design from 13, not a good sign.

Of course this early still so we'll see. Just saying what I saw wasn't encouraging to me.

The thing is, the start of VII (content of this trailer) was a corridor. It opened up later.

 

[Asd202]

Oh so it's not full on action RPG like XV?

 

[LouisaFerre]

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

It's not an ATB bar, it's a combo meter. It fills as you attack.

 

[Dynasty8]

That looked amazing. Wow.

 

[potatohead]

Ahhhhhhhhhhh don't copy FF 15!!!

Copy Kingdom Hearts if it is going to be active battle system....

 

[XPE]

Not turn based, yes!!!!!!!

 

[Plywood]

Ugh they adopted the lame tortured Cloud image from advent children.

Think I will stick to popeye arms FF7, thank you very much.

Yeah, "lame tortured Cloud" gimme a break:

I don't see it.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

As expected, it went full Kingdom Hearts. Ugh.

Good. Turn based RPGs that aren't Pokemon are chloroform to me. Welcome to the 21st Century. Kingdom Hearts is more fun to play than any FF title I've ever picked up.

 

[Icyflamez96]

SO GLAD it's an ARPG holy shit

 

[.la1n]

I'm looking forward to it, I like that they are going full remake. Not a fan of the voices but it's probably place holder.

 

[RPGCrazied]

What will airship travel going to look like?!?!

Please not a map and you just point to locations, I want to explore damn it, can you imagine how pretty it would look?

 

[Seven Force]

So glad there's character switching. An ARPG where I can control every party member = perfection as far as I'm concerned.

Yep. Still not sure whether or not this is some command based / realtime in-between or full on KH style, but the character switching is the one thing I was hoping they'd retain, so they can do what they want from here on out, as far as I'm concerned.

 

[DecoReturns]

I hope they don't focus to much on Combat, that was never the point of Final Fantasy 7

 

[Falk]

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

Sure this is just gonna get buried in the next page again, but that's not an ATB bar.

It fills up as Cloud hits things, and depletes as he uses flashy moves. Then there's HP/MP/LIMIT going rightwards from that.

And I agree with Aeana, regardless, the UI looks placeholder

Spoiler

and aimed square at the Versus crowd tbqh

 

[Thorakai]

holy fucking shit

 

[Meccanical]

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

Well I'll be goddamned.

Really happy to have him voicing Barret.

 

[spazchicken]

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

I have to assume that you've never even played the first five minutes of FFVII.

And what they are showing is early, so the frame rate gets a pass for now.

 

[Asd202]

So is CC2 developing this? With UE4 it makes sense.

 

[Breakage]

Yeah, "lame tortured Cloud" gimme a break:

I don't see it.

Looks like a bunch of cosplayers imo.

 

[Flip4k]

Wow. Didn't not expect gameplay so soon. Looks amazing

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

The scenes looked like it's the same corridor based level design from 13, not a good sign.

Of course this early still so we'll see. Just saying what I saw wasn't encouraging to me.

This trailer is pretty much a montage of strictly the first bombing mission, which is actually very linear in the original game.

 

[Linkstrikesback]

The moment I saw that it appears to be a kingdom hearts style action rpg is the exact moment I stopped caring about this game at all.

Oh well, maybe after another 18 or so years we'll get a reremake that actually at least tries to keep it more like the original. Shame.

 

[Wizerd]

Hahahaha holy shit we have gameplay

 

[The Silver]

Yeah, "lame tortured Cloud" gimme a break:

I don't see it.

give that guy a pink wig and call him Lightning

 

[Akibared]

Next gen Jessie!!! <3

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

pls come out 2016, I need it.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Wow, fucking ready. I accept.

 

[RiderKairuu]

So glad they changed the combat system. Shakes things up, if I get nostalgic for the old combat there's always the original.

 

[RPGCrazied]

pls come out 2016, I need it.

No chance, XV might.

 

[potatohead]

Yeah, "lame tortured Cloud" gimme a break:

I don't see it.

Yea that's kickass Cloud.

Good choice SE, well played.

 

[Jarmel]

pls come out 2016, I need it.

lol no

2017 if we're lucky

 

[Charlouie Jonesman]

Yeah, this looks awesome, I don't mind the action combat either way and stylistically they captured that FVII look. Wasn't expecting to see Biggs, Jessie and Wedge with practically unchanged designs either. Speaking of, my only gripe so far was Wedge's voice actor, I seriously hope that was just a placeholder.

 

[the_sun_king]

I'm looking forward to it, I like that they are going full remake. Not a fan of the voices but it's probably place holder.

Doubt it, lol. Cloud's English VA is the same

Spoiler

underwhelming VA

from Advent Children and all the other VII related media.

 

[PHOTOSHOP]

Cloud so pretty

 

[Ray Down]

pls come out 2016, I need it.

2017

 

[chozen]

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

Could be like Birth By Sleep where the meter charges up for forms, or in FF7Rs case a finisher.

Anyways looking like Versus lol, running through insomnia at night, wishes came true.

 

[thebisonxrc]

It looks absolutely fantastic. Strange to see it become more action-oriented, though. Not sure if I like that. But hey, it sure looks damn good!

 

[Brawly Likes to Brawl]

Good. Turn based RPGs that aren't Pokemon are chloroform to me. Welcome to the 21st Century. Kingdom Hearts is more fun to play than any FF title I've ever picked up.

I didn't know that an entire genre of gameplay was obsolete because of the current date.

 

[protomouse]

So it's basically a timed exclusive deal then?

 

[AwakenedCloud]

The PC version with 4K support is going to be ungodly!

 

[RaidenXZ]

I'm actually so happy its an action rpg! Looks amazing! FF7 and the remake are two different things and can both still be enjoyed so it makes sense why they can both have different gameplay systems and exist together

 

[Nuke Soda]

Can't wait to play it in 2020.
