Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Chunk 1 (CyberConnect2, UE4) Trailer, "PS4 Console Debut"

People keep saying this. FF4 had a remake that used the same combat. Resident Evil had a remake that had the same gameplay. A bunch of other games had a remake that didn't abandon its core gameplay.

Reimagining would be a better term if you want to go that route.

That's because they chose to do that for those remakes.
 
Max's (MaximilianDood) reaction to the footage lol.

Gold. Feel pretty damn similar right now. Like a kid on Christmas Eve.

When Cloud was swinging his sword around above his head all I could think was how puny his arms looked.

He's not puny at all. Ignoring the fact that this is a fantasy game, I think some assume that bulky people are the only ones who can appear to handle weapons like that. A shame really, because we already have enough roided dude-bros in gaming.

So surprised they showed gameplay. Now this truly feels real. It's gonna happen.

I hope they either sync the lips to English dialogue or give me the option to play it with Japanese audio. The voice acting is probably the only thing I wasn't too impressed with. Everything else is amazing. I'd be happy if they gave us outfit options for the main characters, I wouldn't mind playing with Cloud's Advent Children outfit in a New Game+ or something. And ideally the game won't really be on rails. We'll see what happens.
 
Seeing them keep the flip off the train animation gives me hope we'll still have the Cloud shrug.

Cloud had to shrug because emotions were hard to capture with blocky characters. He might do facial shrugs and subtle body language rather than a very exaggerated body movement. Also they have voice to add to the expression. Just watching the trailer it seem like he's pretty emotive.
 
If this thing hits PC it'll be the first game that I intentionally double dip on. I'm not going to skip PS4 launch and hope for a later chance to play. Heck I can give the PS4 version away if it does.
 
barret kinda got the adam jensen treatment

tifa 'the planet is dying'
barret 'yeah, rip'

cloud 'bitching bitching self-centeredness bitching'
barret '....i didnt ask for this'

I'm sorry I don't get it. Everyone seems to be frothing at the mouth because the game "looks" good, but with the money and resources behind it how could it not? From where I stand the real question is how will the story unfold? How will it be improved upon (and there is room). For example I know that Aeris dies. Outside of the shock of it how am I going to feel it? How will some of the more goofier elements from the original play out? Do just can them? And if so does this become a story/game that takes itself too seriously? I don't have the answers, but it takes more than a nice engine running characters I know to get me fired up.
 
Strange how fast this game has come along in comparison to ff15. Damn. I wonder how long this game HAS REALLY been in development.
 
Visuals look nice, well translated to modern capabilities, but not enough to go on quite yet on the gameplay side. FFVII may only be #3 on my Top FFs list, but I'd still like it to come out great...

They absolutely will sync the lips to English dialogue before release. It's standard practice for them to do it fairly into development. You can see in earlier FFXIII trailers for example, the English dub not yet matching the mouth. :)
 
Anyone else think this cloud looks more "real" in the face than in other games (new dissidia, kh, etc)?

Like his face as actual bones in it. I like it. He looks like an actual westerner, rather than a blonde haired Asian man. Wonder what bae tifa gonna look like.

That's all well and good, but I still want my shrug.

His new face looks like it could belong IRL.

Yeah. I'd been bitching about the lack of facial bone structure in Square's characters for years. Always annoyed me.
 
I really hope that fantastic orchestral yet very true to the original new version of the track "Bombing Mission" heard in this trailer will give some peace of mind to all the people who were whining "ZOMG UEMATSU ISN'T DOING THE REMAKE MUSIC" when we found that out.

Judging by the Wedge voice acting and dialogue followed by Cloud's classic "not interested," I wouldn't worry that it will be overly serious. Seems like the more silly parts will remain as they were - plus it was said that Cloud's whole cross dressing scene will be in the game as well.

Should be at least two years now. When Hashimoto trolled us last year with the port announcement we later found out that the actual remake had been in some form of production for a year already, iirc.

I forgot the early trailers for XIII were like that, so that's a good something. Now reassure me the voice acting is gonna be better than the trailer shows so I can sleep soundly tonight :P
 
I never played FF7, it came out not that many years after I was born. Feelsbadman.

Super excited for this, the PC port is tempting me though. This game is always mentioned when anything nostalgic/RPG related comes up and I always wonder what I missed out on.

Well, it's from a Distant Worlds album, circa 2007.

Then again the people who put FF7's original music up on a pedestal so much that their head's pretty much up their ass to the point they aren't actually aware of an almost-decade-old album kind of highlights a point by itself.
 
Oh wow! Looks great! :o
FF7 was my first japanese RPG since I started with Commodore computers, I was totally blown away by it, still one of my favorite games of all time.

Are any other versions confirmed? PC? NX? or is everything except PS4 still up in the air?

Nothing but PS4 at the moment, but will almost certainly come out on at least XONE afterwards.
 
Just watched the GameXplain side by side comparison and I'm relieved they are actually quite faithful to the original with the remake. Like the events happening frame by frame from Biggs holding a guard and Jessie kicking guard in the stomach to the gate unlocking to group of soldiers surrounding Cloud before he makes a jump onto the passing by train below.

Which is what? Why is it assumed that I should have heard of that album just because it's eight years old? There are a lot of albums that came out in 2007 that I have never heard of, I'd wager.

EDIT:

Wasn't even talking about you. I'm talking about the exact same people you are.

All right then, my apologies.

looks freaking awesome. definitely day one for me.
I played the original one and even though I'm leaning more towards action battle system - I don't really care if they come up with hybrid system to cater the old fans.
but just don't make it completely turn based. that would be bad.

Nothing wrong with turn based combat as long as it's speedier, and as long as there are no more random encounters and invisible enemies.
 
I just got accepted into Neogaf!!! Yayyy!!! :D But for some weird reason, I can only login on mobile but not computer? Help? But anyway!!! This game looks great!!! Truly is Versus FF7! Cloud's face does look kinda weird though.

Man, I am so conflicted.

+ Visually looks very nice!
+ Interesting to see the characters from a different perspective, I dig it
+ Early look at hopefully retaining some of FF7's humor
+ Like the Cloud reveal for Smash Bros, I loved Max's reaction


- Cloud looks emaciated, like he's got a serious sickness. It's really distracting.

- Not sold on the battle system. Also I wonder how party travel is going to work... are they all gonna merge into Cloud's body again? lol

Okay, so I'm not the only person who thinks Cloud looks like he smoked alotta cigarettes or something. Lol I dunno why but his face just looks a tad bit weird. Oh, well! I'll get used to it! Hype!
