Jesse still the best girl.

 

[Jonnax]

This looks really good. It's great to see they didn't decide to stick with ATB as well.

 

[CHC]

Man Wedge looks and SOUNDS incredible. I am loving this so much.

And yeah the combat system? You know what, I really don't even care. It's 2015, things change - FFVII wasn't great because of its combat system, it was great because of the world, the characters, and the story it told. If those are intact then I'm fine with them doing what they see fit as long as it is A) somewhat grounded and believable and B) fun.

 

[Crash Station]

How are Japanese fans reacting to the battle system? What's going on over at 2ch?

 

[BasilZero]

It looks like Crisis core combat.

I am happy!!!

 

[Plywood]

Just on the little snippet they showed of biggs, it definitely seems like not all characters will be grim-dark. I think that bodes well for the game retaining some of the humor. We will see, though.

Don't worry Honeybee Manor will still be in the game (Φω&#934

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Cloud looks terrible.

 

[Kwansu Dudes]

Amazed to see some gameplay. Will happily buy it when it releases before XV.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Looks amazing.

LOL. Wedge looks great.

 

[Astral Dog]

Beautiful

 

[gundamkyoukai]

I sorry but wanting the old combat would suck .
Ever since FF AC i wanted a FF game that played like that .
And now i have FF remake and it is just like that i am in heaven .

 

[Yu Narukami]

Lol at the comments in the youtube video. Bitching begins.

This made me laugh:

So the game will be running at 1080p 15 fps, nice

 

[duckroll]

Looks like a bunch of other "cinematic" games out these days. I think people see the Final Fantasy VII name lose all sense of objectivity.

Or maybe people actually like all those "cinematic" games out there these days too...?

 

[Ferr986]

I don't know why people expected ATB when this is Nomura's take on FF7.

 

[MrBS]

Looking nice. Nostalgia overload. Hopefully PC release will be nice an quick... that frame rate has a ways to go.

 

[Elios83]

Simply beautiful.

 

[Jarmel]

That framerate goes to shit though during the combat. Hopefully we're not looking at a repeat of Versus on that front.

 

[Arkeband]

If the story is the only thing that mattered, maybe a Telltale Games remake would have been better.

Then everyone could experience the game as completely removed from its primary gameplay system, and those sell better than ARPG's.

 

[eyeball_kid]

They lost me when the combat started. I should've known better than to expect they would respect the turn-based gameplay of the original. If I wanted FFXV I'd play that. Remake doesn't mean re-envision the core mechanics of the game. Well have fun, ARPG fans.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

DEAD.

 

[WinFonda]

That's looks perfectly modernized and is a great new take on a classic. I'll play my original if I want that experience.

My thoughts as well. Looks like a really good re-imagining.

 

[Hastati]

Like a year before the announcement of the FF7 original for PS4 iirc.

Gotcha. Thanks. Be interesting to see how development speed compares if they're using UE4. Of course it will be faster, but how much faster etc.

The graphics look great though, and I'm a big fan of the art direction so far. It's a bit more paired down than I thought it would be, it's very smooth.

 

[Harmen]

Cloud looks a bit creepy imo. But other than that, this looks better than I could've hoped. And I love action RPG's so I am happy with this. Action looks sexy as hell too. Hyped!

 

[ZeroTheShadow]

Gameplay looked choppy & awkward. I'll reserve my judgement till I know more about the game & it's further along.

 

[Nightmare]

Japanese trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW_8VOSpZL4

Looking good! The Japanese voice acting is definitely superior to the English one. Wedge's voice (in the English version) is terrible... I hope they improve it.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Dude its like the Kingdom Hearts that was supposed to be Versus that now is Final Fantasy VII remake that was once Versus....and XV is still coming out. And KH III. Dear lord!

 

[Niks]

soundtrack was really on point too.

 

[Mahonay]

Always loved the environments in FF7. Going to be amazing walking around them in third person.

 

[ShadowSoldier89]

so with the higher res trailers out now, you can see that the command list turns grey and the player loses control of it. You can see them mashing X on attack and during each move the command bar turns grey for a second before they mash out the next attack. For the supers you see the command bar stays grey the entire time.

Overall if this is pure action, it looks even worse than XV, and thats impressive

 

[Ekoria]

sony don't do timed exclusives, they're better than that as a company.

they do it all the time.

 

[Dragon1893]

So many memorable/iconic scenes to look forward to. So many places to revisit. All with these fantastic visuals. It's actually overwhelming.

 

[Xeilyn]

That looked amazing

 

[openrob]

So excited for this.
Would be cool to be able to switch to an isometric view at will as well for nostalgia sake

 

[artsi]

So the big one was not limit gauge after all. I still think it's ATB.

 

[Falk]

soundtrack was really on point too.

It's Distant Worlds. It's more than half a decade old.

So the big one was not limit gauge after all. I still think it's ATB.

That thing goes up when Cloud hits stuff, and decreases when Cloud uses flashy moves.

 

[Sealed]

looks fucking aces

i'll definitely be buying this

is cloud's voice Haley Joel Osment? He sounds somewhat reminiscent of Sora to me

 

[Inuhanyou]

Graphics are the only good thing about this trailer.

Oh please.

There's the door in any case.

For me, this looks amazing..

 

[MilkBeard]

LOL. Wedge looks great.

There is a lot of character in his design. I love it.

I think it's refreshing to see characters like this after seeing all the poster boys in Final Fantasy XV. Can't wait to play this game.

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

No matter how cool this trailer was (and it was cool...) This is still 1% of the game We're not getting this game for a long long long long long time, and that makes me sad.

I'm almost a little afraid that they are going full 3D with it, because FF7 really was a fuckin massive world, and all the areas they're going to have to render and all the people and side things to explore. This game is going to take forever for them to finish if ever.

 

[OrionsNebula]

Wedge's voice was annoying, so essentially the character was perfect.
Cloud's voice was spot on too. Was that the same VA as from advent children?

 

[God of Gamblers]

LOL, comments for Japanese video are disabled.

 

[neojubei]

Its awesome!! The graphics. oh man. i love this trailer. Action RPG is the way to go

 

[Bluenoser]

I literally had trouble breathing watching that. I think I was holding my breath without realizing it. Fucking insane that they were able to show this much, this soon. My hype level is through the roof.

 

[Scrooge McDuck]

If the story is the only thing that mattered, maybe a Telltale Games remake would have been better.

Then everyone could experience the game as completely removed from its primary gameplay system, and those sell better than ARPG's.

To be perfectly honest, I generally prefer the JRPG I played to have no combat at all. Most are busywork to me.

 

[gamergirly]

Shit that looks good

 

[Falk]

LOL, comments for Japanese video are disabled.

Square Enix (and Japanese companies in general) disables comments and most of the time ratings on YouTube.

 

[artsi]

That thing goes up when Cloud hits stuff, and decreases when Cloud uses flashy moves.

Interesting, I wonder how the commands are limited in that case. If they are at all.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

That... looks...

...pretty dope? Well then.

I was fully expecting Squeenix to ruin it, but the tone and character and feel is all there. I'm also less worried about the combat than I was; it's still sorta command-based and you can control all the party members. I just hope that it's still turn-based or ATB or that you can at least control each party member per battle and not have a shitty Xenoblade-like system, and that the action sequences were just animations for limit breaks and special attacks and not button-mashing real-time action shit, and that wasn't made 100% clear in the footage, so I'm still sorta worried about that, but... Yeah, I'm pleasantly surprised. :O

Really really dig Barret's new look too. He looks badass without being too cliché and caricatural like in the old game.

 

[Paradoxmoose]

Me when FF7 remake was announced:

YES! THIS IS AMAZING! THE INDUSTRY UNDERSTANDS WHAT I WANT!

Me when they changed the combat:

I'm old, and clearly nobody cares about what I want.
