Wow... That fucking negativity set out pretty quickly.

Well FUCK YOU guys, this looks AMAZING. Hope to never see you in any future FFVII remake threads.

hahah great post

they seem to be on the right track for my personal tastes.
way way way too hype

Wat. The vast majority of reactions are postive, at least from what I see.

 

[Mortemis]

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 and aimed square at the Versus crowd tbqh

well it sure is working. Got me fuuuuuuucked up

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

Anyone who assumed that FFVIIR would be open-world or not linear is stretching too far. I always thought it would a linear game, which I'm perfectly fine with, and actually like more.

 

[Bananajama]

Looks like they've kept the core system but jazzed it up. I'm fine with that

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

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.

Thank god nobody at SE went the route you were hoping for.

 

[Hades Hotgun]

Was shown in the trailer

Was it? That looked a lot like doing a special with a team mate in XV. It only seemed to be a single move thing.

I would be happy to be wrong though, so please correct me on this.

 

[Morning Star]

Looks closer to FFXV than I would like. I wanted something closer to FFXIII for the combat system.

 

[Icyflamez96]

Only thing that seems iffy about the game is the voice acting, but I expected that

It was mostly fine.

 

[GavinGT]

I'm obviously talking about the other posts.

So you're not OK with hilariously one-sided opinions, you want uniformly one-sided opinions?

 

[The Silver]

Seriously, this is what we are now?

it's what we've always been

 

[mdzapeer]

I am fucking losing my shit here! fucking awesome!

 

[Rajang]

It looks soooo good already and its years away.

I'M SO HYPED.

 

[KeyChainDude]

The command system is something I heard directly. The ATB was a mistake so that part is wrong.

But yeah looks great. I think the evolution of the battle system looks fantastic.

Gotta agree. They can do some pretty clever stuff with it, it's way better than a pure turn-based RPG. I'm excited!

 

[Weiss]

Not sure how into another menu-based action RPG I can be.

I love the original KH but it's still a pain rotating through the menu and controlling the characters, but it got way worse with KH2 and games like Ni No Kuni completely dropped the ball with that kind of hybrid.

 

[lucablight]

The command system is something I heard directly. The ATB was a mistake so that part is wrong.

But yeah looks great. I think the evolution of the battle system looks fantastic.

So it's not a button mashing game with enemies sponges like Kingdom hearts? Do you know if other party members will be AI controlled/gambit controlled or is only the character you're controlling at the time going to influence the combat?

 

[artsi]

Looks closer to FFXV than I would like. I wanted something closer to FFXIII for the combat system.

I think it's exactly closer to XIII than XV. It uses commands, not 100% action system like XV.

 

[mfaex]

Looking interesting.

 

[funkypie]

How many times does he jump onto his knees, does that pose and then raises his head lol.

Please to God give us some real action rpg combat and not ff15... It looks like 15 automated, if it is, that's lazy.

 

[Pyros_Eien]

The arms looked really weird on Cloud, but Barret looks awesome as hell, so overall pretty pleased with the renditions. Looking forward to Cait Sith, Yufie and Red XIII since they were my favorite chars in the original.

 

[rubius01]

Wow... That fucking negativity set out pretty quickly.

Well FUCK YOU guys, this looks AMAZING. Hope to never see you in any future FFVII remake threads.

Woah buddy, calm down. You know other have different opinions?

Nomura hasn't had the best track record over the past 10 or so years. so some doubt is perfectly normal.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Are you a child?

 

[Meccanical]

Yeah, "lame tortured Cloud" gimme a break:

I don't see it.

That's pretty much the closest you can get to Cloud's original FF7 design in a semi realistic 3D style.

His head is 90 degrees, ready to face the challenge in both.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

Looks pretty good.

Don't have an opinion on the combat really. Would be disappointed if it went full Kingdom Hearts style but something really different in feel from the original isn't a big deal for me.

 

[Aerocia]

Turn-based is cool and all, but I'm moved on to ATB play styles.. so it's a welcome change.

 

[Mr. RHC]

I never really followed Versus XIII stuff.

What do you people mean when this game reminds them of Versus specifically?

 

[Ishida]

So you're not OK with hilariously one-sided opinions, you want uniformly one-sided opinions?

No. But dumbass drive-by posts like "it looks like Kingdom Hearts, I'm out" are wrong.

Are you a child?

Oh please. Spare me your usual bullcrap.

 

[TaterTots]

As someone who didn't fall in love with FF VII, I have to say, that shit looked way more appealing. I expect this game to be huge due to nostalgia and new fans.

 

[Krabboss]

Does the gameplay really matter that much? I've always played FF7 in spite of its gameplay.

Anyway, this is going to be a very expensive game for them. You need to go for mass market appeal with this.

 

[Kagari]

So it's not a button mashing game with enemies sponges like Kingdom hearts? Do you know if other party members will be AI controlled/gambit controlled or is only the character you're controlling at the time going to influence the combat?

No, not a button mash game. Also character switching is in! Not sure how the AI stuff will work out.

 

[spazchicken]

I could only shake my head when they showed combat. I knew it would be very different from the original but... not like this.

Still in the air if it's just super flashy. There's still hope.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Looks like they've kept the core system but jazzed it up. I'm fine with that

You have direct control over your character and their positioning, in real time. They didn't keep shit, lol.

 

[Reset]

Ah yes, ARPG like it should be. Nobody wants to play a turn based rpg on their home consoles now.

 

[orochi91]

Not a fan of the voice acting...

 

[LordGorchnik]

Fuck the haters, this looks god damn amazing and I cannot wait to try it. Was hoping they would announce a very, very, very, early alpha build playable on the floor but I guess that was reaching.

Have they released an HD/official trailer yet?

 

[Icyflamez96]

I think it's exactly closer to XIII than XV. It uses commands, not 100% action system like XV.

It's not full action? Looked like KH to me, but the camera angles in certain parts had me sort of thinking otherwise. I'd be stoked for a FFXIII like system too.

 

[Two Words]

Shit, real-time combat. R.I.P 90% of unique enemies and encounter types. Barret must have gone through a lot of anger management classes too.

 

[entremet]

So multiple controllable party members unlike XV?

 

[NakedCosmonaut]

Pass. I was hoping it would be a corridor based first person shooter with a prestige system and in-app purchases. I mean, what decade is this? Who plays RPGs anymore? The original game would still be there for you old timers.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Those spark effects are glorious. I'm really in disbelief that we got actual gameplay this early.

 

[Mentosrock]

Oh my.. God. This is everything I have wanted since I was 9 years old. Can you imagine being Vincent and flipping around with that red cape swinging in the air? The kind of Vincent everyone wanted from that garbage game Dirge of Cerberus.. Or Yuffie, throwing around her shuriken.

I just.. This is all I have ever wanted. They did it. :''''''(. Finally.

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Even though I knew it was a long shot I was still hoping for turn based. Still, what's there looks good.

 

[Rajang]

No. But dumbass drive-by posts like "it looks like Kingdom Hearts, I'm out" are wrong.



Oh please. Spare me your usual bullcrap.

I agree with you bro, but calm down. This is a time to celebrate, not fight.

 

[Monochromaticx]

someone hold me
that was so amazing

 

[Bananajama]

You have direct control over your character and their positioning, in real time. They didn't keep shit, lol.

Jazzed it up.

Core stuff to me is the background stuff

 

[Dunkley]

Made some gifs for tumblr which I'll repost here if that's okay (sorry for the quality, 2mb limit and stuff), and since someone already giffed the first half I'll just post the ones I made of the second half:

 

[Valor]

I've run out of pants. Can we just skip XV and just have this instead?

 

[ackl]

So multiple controllable party members unlike XV?

Fixed.

 

[SamuelSupreme]

Looked like a mixed of action and command set up?? Almost gave me FFXIII(Demo) vibes almost. You seem to be able to switch between characters

 

[Dictator93]

Sure had an "actiony" framerate. Interesting how much prettier it is than FFXV, I assume it is using a custom/Luminous version with more PP. Looks nice.

"PS4 Console Debut" = xb1 release? as well?

 

[artsi]

It's not full action? Looked like KH to me, but the camera angles in certain parts had me sort of thinking otherwise. I'd be stoked for a FFXIII like system too.

Just some fluid AI dynamics, animation and camera work giving that impression.
