They should make Cloud's arms a little bigger, as it is right now its just ridiculous.

Spoiler

Make it bigger as you level up

 

[KZXcellent]

This is much father along that I thought. Nomura always wins.

The first gif u can see the command bar greying out on each swing. Considering defend is a command that means you lose the ability to defend during attack, so no cancelling attacks into anything. The second gif they have a full bar and use a super, but it doesnt consume the bar, not once did I see the bar being consumed once a super was used. Now it could be a timing thing with the video cutting off before then, but its odd.

Yeah I guess so. I first thought it could be "inverse ATB", you can hit until it's full and goes red (to cooldown).

I know ATB doesn't mean that, but I can't say it better.

based on these gifs, this actually seems somewhat plausible

 

[Morrigan Stark]

Those are not gils....

 

[Meccanical]

lol

All I'm waiting for is for Barret to shoot something in the environment and cause a huge explosion.

 

[Asd202]

lol

Lol even color scheme is the same.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Looks great. Glad they updated the battle system. If I want a turn based RPG I can just grab the PC port.

 

[True Fire]

The UI looks so much better than XV's.

 

[RibMan]

Exceeded all of my expectations. Square might actually deliver with this.

 

[ZoddGutts]

They should rename it FFVII: Versus.

 

[Soulflarz]

Sad part is the wait, at least 2 years.

They've been working on it at least 2 years already if Kagari sitting on it 1.5 years at e3 tells us anything, so probably not actually, 2016 is a possibility.

Shopkeeper: [Homer has agreed to purchase a Krusty doll for Bart's birthday] Take this object, but beware it carries a terrible curse!

Homer: Ooh, that's bad.

Shopkeeper: But it comes with a free frogurt!

Homer: That's good.

Shopkeeper: The frogurt is also cursed.

Homer: That's bad.

Shopkeeper: But you get your choice of toppings.

Homer: That's good!

Shopkeeper: The toppings contain potassium benzoate.

[Homer looks puzzled]

Shopkeeper: ...That's bad.

Homer: Can I go now?

OMG looks amazing....



...but those Barret glasses....



...but those graphics!!...



...but that AC Cloud...



...but that combat system!!



...but is real-time....

:/

I'm so conflicted.

 

[Skux]

People were expecting 20-year old turn based combat? It's a remake for a reason, and not using advancements in gameplay and technology would be missing the point entirely.

I think it looks fantastic so far.

 

[Loudninja]

Damn I am so happy.

 

[NotSelf]

Wow so cool cloud running through the streets of midgar.

 

[RedSwirl]

For people who want a more "faithful" FFVII HD remake, I still think Square Enix should have done something like Pillars of Eternity where they still have the old camera angle and pre-rendered backgrounds but in modern resolutions.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

Glad they're changing the gameplay and doing new stuff. If I wanted to replay a 1:1 copy of ffvii I would just play ffvii.

 

[DieH@rd]

Awesome trailer. I expected more actiony gameplay.

"Console debut" kinda gives the inkling this will come to PC, no?

They said "Play it first on Playstation 4" at E3 debut.

"Console Debut" can mean that game will also come to Xbone.

 

[The Last One]

Seriously, Cloud looks PERFECT

nobody was expecting that. turn based combat has come along way in 20 years as well

 

[Ruruja]

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

Cloud's VA sounds like Yuichi Nakamura.

 

[Famassu]

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.

FFVII's intro Midgar section was always very cinematic & extremely linear, so what's the problem with this showing a cinematic intro as well?

 

[inyue]

So... Action RPG?...

If I wanted to play ARPG I would play KH3 or FF15...

-you guys will hype for the game
-the reviews will give great scores
-game will be released first in Japan,
-japanese player will say how this games sucks
-non-japanese players will not believe and say how japanese playes have a bad taste
-game will be released worldwide
-first 3 hours is amazing and people will spread the love through internet boards
-people will finish the game and realize how shit this is


Oh... FF13 memories...

 

[Sblargh]

Damn! Way better than I expected! Way way better!

 

[Fardeen]

i'm so suprised they released gameplay footage so early. must be a vertical slice
the game looks great! the atmosphere , midgar, nostalgia.. the music... the red scorpion... so much memories.... aaaaaaawesome.. but the wedge voice acting is so bad, barret looks so weird and different from AC, and i am not a very big fan of this style of combat im so conflicted too. i hope its coming on PC on release date!

 

[gosoxtim]

i say 2018 it comes out a year after kingdom hearts 3 comes out

Wat? If anything this game will release WW at the same time, they already casted the voices.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Sad part is the wait, at least 2 years.

Had I not have seen anything the sad part would've been something along the lines of 5 years. The fact we saw gameplay makes me me think 2 years is plausible. Great news!!!

 

[Havel]

The polarizing response to the combat system is why Nomura & co. would never be able to satisfy everyone.

Personally, I think it looks amazing.

 

[Meccanical]

Yeah I guess so. I first thought it could be "inverse ATB", you can hit until it's full and goes red (to cooldown).

I know ATB doesn't mean that, but I can't say it better.

You might actually be right.
If that's the case I guess character switching would be really important and it would create a sort of economy of action in the battle system that would make you think before you act.

 

[Crash Station]

To be quite honest, I thought it had aged poorly. 100% cheevo'd the Steam version.

And just for a yardstick comparison w.r.t. my opinion on things, also 100% cheevo'd Grandia 2 when the Steam version released and THAT one aged really well, OP final moves aside.

I would have easily taken Grandia's battle system.

 

[RankFTW]

Just unfreeze me when this comes out.

 

[Coffee Dog]

Looks great. Glad they updated the battle system. If I want a turn based RPG I can just grab the PC port.

Sorry to single out this post, but why are so many people saying "updated" "modernized" "brought into the year 2015"

They changed the combat entirely. It's a new system. It's a new type of game.

 

[Phat Michael]

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

They truly are a company of visionaries and beautiful people unencumbered by the need to make a profit in most of their divisions.

 

[AdventureMike]

It looks completely like an appropriate remake visually and you're right, not using technological advancements would be silly.

Action based combat however is not a 1:1 advancement of ATB combat. ATB is still completely fine as it always was.

 

[Soulflarz]

same va for eng cloud?

 

[Morrigan Stark]

But removing turn-based combat isn't an advancement....

 

[donutzsick]

I am so hyped for this now...

 

[Aceshighhhh]

That combat system, I'm out. Fuck that.

Not sure what you people expected. This is a Nomura-directed game

 

[ZangBa]

Gameplay looks awful, oh well, I expected this.

 

[CrimsonSquall]

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.

I am so glad that I was born to be the exact opposite of u in this regard

 

[Nottle]

So to put it in a way we can understand Cloud has a EX SUPER gage, along with a Ultra gauge which is his LIMIT meter.

 

[GuardianE]

Where are people seeing "AC Cloud"?

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

Hnnnnnnnnng. God bless you, Nomura.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

I fucking told you brandon! I told you the first gameplay trailer would be the opening section with The Bombing Mission playing!

I TOOOOOOOLD YOOOOOOOU!
Jollystradamus!!!

 

[dickroach]

the reveal trailer at E3 made me shake.

this was cool, though. I'm stoked.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Why do you suggest that only action-based combat has improved in the past twenty years? There are tons of turn based games released over the decades and plenty of them have battle systems that are distinct from the next. Turn base can evolve just like non-turn base.

 

[Ceravic]

I rarely become overhyped to the point of irrationality, but I will fight anyone who doesn't view this objectively as the best game of all time. Come at me, bros!

 

[Rajang]

Do we know when exactly the FF7 PC port will be available on the store?

what date did we advance past turn based combat
