Everyone in the "I'm out" crowd will have full on pee-pants once the first gameplay trailer hits with The Bombing Mission remaster booming out of their speakers!
Pee-pants!!!!!!
Pee-pants!!!!!!
People don't want them to listen to everybody. People want them to listen to specifically what they want only..
With something that means much to so many, you would get the gaming equivalent of
No matter what changes they make, big or small, significant or insignificant. People will bitch, no matter what.
I'm glad they are making the remake, I hope they change some stuff, I hope they keep some other stuff. Not a big fan or the original, so I guess I feel more open to changes about the game. I think the remake will speak more to me than the original do. Just a feeling.

they're going to miss the fucking point regarding this remake, aren't they. the only part of the game that really aged badly was the graphics

Exactly my stance as well, I would prefer an ATB system, but Im fine so long as I can still have side quest to get the ultimate Limit Breaks and use them for each character.
Fully expecting a game 'inspired by the story and setting of FF7' because I've learned over the years it's best not to ever ever ever ever get your hopes up for square. That way, when they finally do something good, you're pleasantly surprised rather than disappointed all the time.
It'll be a lot better for everyone's sanity to give up hope and assume this will be an entirely different game that's nothing but a retelling of the FF7 story. I promise it will not go well if you expect ff7 with better graphics because I can't see that happening :/

Yes, I agree with this. I want to see what Nomura envisions for this.

It makes sense for them to not use a turn based system.
The people that liked it before will buy the game again anyway because it is FF7.
The people that thought turn based was too backwards will buy it now because it isn't.
I don't like the direction, but it does make sense.

thats definitely not how this will work
EDIT: and since everyone is grasping at straws, here is my evidence that it will be turn based http://www.vg247.com/2015/06/18/final-fantasy-remake-ffvii-ps4-install-base/ (its teh wanting to increase japanese PS4 install base)
More straw grasping, but I just think the amount of audience Square could potentially gain by a more mainstream battle system vastly exceeds the amount of people that they will lose based on principle. A certain number of people will grumble about it on the internet for a couple weeks then crack when they realize it is FF7 in HD.
I'll take ATB or some variant as a pleasant surprise, but I'm not expecting it.

I highly doubt it would, even though we have no real evidence to back it up.
FFXV sales could give us an idea. I expect it to sell less than FFXIII. Polling has shown that fans vastly prefer that it be some kind of menu driven RPG
Please correct me if I'm wrong but
A) Haven't the old turn based games sold better than the newer action ones
B) Wasn't Advent Children an inspiration for 13's system?

why though, there is no evidence that it will be an action RPG. Only 1 mainline FF ever has been an action RPG and its not even out yet. The most recent comments released have been
There's no denying a possibility that they could go action, but the certainty that some people have about it is nearly baseless.
And of course there will be backlash, but the backlash of turning a menu driven based RPG into an action RPG will of course be stronger than the backlash caused from turning a menu driven RPG into a menu driven RPG. Whatever other backlash the game faces it will face either way (how they decide to change story sequences and other non combat related changes)
Advent Children has a battle system?
It wasn't a massive challenge, if they had gone with the original OST in the first place there never would have been a bloodbath.
They will have to do orchestral arrangements for FF7 though and I'm sure that will create some opinions.
I think this will be the deal-breaker more so than the battle system.

May as well just let nomura make the game that he wants then.

For the most part though I'm absolutely fine with the remaster OST, however they butchered literally a handful of key tracks such as Wandering Flame, Challenge, Fleeting Dream and the Last Boss Music.
If they had simply been more careful with retaining the feeling of the original in those 4 tracks it would have been fine.

Nah. Just because Final Fantasy VII is slapped on the cover of some remake/reimagining doesn't mean that I'm mindlessly going to fanboy out and buy it. I had expectations that I was hoping for-- mainly cleaner visuals, less loading time, and perhaps expanded areas/dungeons to explore-- but wholesale changes, including to the ATB system that I was personally comfortable and familiar with, means an automatic no sale.
Ultimately, Square can do what it wants, and good for them if it's a success.
Ultimately, I can choose to skip it because it's not what I was looking for... Final Fantasy VII in name, or not.
Shadow is fluctuating between the denial/anger/bargaining stages, just let him be. He says he won't buy it, but then he'll see Tifa's HD boobs or something and he'll be there day zero.

Mostly the posters saying I'm out. No way I'm skipping this game when if reviewed poorly lol. But yeah materia system doesn't exactly fit the theme of the game as much with today's standards. Barret casting ultima lol. But, you did put magic into your weapons. So while it might be more fitting that cloud or aeris summon a giant to help fight, I think something like a super strong barrier would fit Barret or Cid. I'm kinda just down for whatever SE is going to do. It's hard for me to imagine them messing this up, action rpg or turn based, should be glorious, they gave so much material to work with and know how important it is to fans. The reveal was pretty much a love letter if you listen to the words. Lets embrace it.

FFXIII's battle system isn't that far removed from VII's, and I'd be okay with that, seeing as how it was one of the few things XIII actually got right. I'm worried that the changes made in Remake are going to be a lot more drastic though. I'm predicting a complete conversion to something in the style of XII or XV, and that would suck... in my personal opinion.
Sounds like a lighthearted jab to me?

I think it will be more like versus xiii. Open world arpg with airship and such.

FF12 gambit system >>> Random, turn based systems.

I can get behind this.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Deflating news tbh.
Let's hope they at least keep Materia as part of whatever this new battle system is!

I agree, let fans tucker themselves out when you show off whatever the new battle system or any other changes, then let them play it when it comes out, I have full confidence squeenix will make this the best game they can and any changes will be made to fit whatever there new vision is.

Their aim was to make battles seem more AC-ish with FFXIII. I don't think they pulled it off, despite Square saying they did. In battles, characters still awkwardly pace around while you choose their moves, run up to enemies while attacking, then retreat back to the party line. If anything, visual and action pacing, FFXV is more closely like AC in video game form than FFXIII ever was.

Cross posting from other thread:
I wonder if they're just going to add flair to the battle animations, so as to avoid the monotony of seeing the same slash, shot, punch, and attack from every character over and over again? Perhaps the change will be flashy attacks with crazy new animations, but the mechanics still ATB?

Depends on what you think the point of the remake is. For me, I'm really into the idea of experiencing the game with a gorgeous visual update as well as a potential new gameplay style. I loved the original game and it hasn't aged so poorly that if I wanted to play with that battle system again I would be unhappy with playing it.
Really I hope that they don't listen to the fans at all. Whether it's an action game (which I'd honestly prefer) or a more turn based type of game, I'll be happy. Just don't fuck up the story.

if people are worried and pessmistic about every detail they will never enjoy this game.
I'm open for the changes and a new Experience that nomura has planned

Yes and I'd be sad if there wasnt
What if instead it was the entirety of the world map made to scale and made all the more glorious?

Honestly I wouldn't mind a battle system that was reminiscent of FFXIII's battle system, minus the paradigm shifts. Give me full control of the party with a mechanic that lets me switch perspective during battles. Keep the materia system in place so you can customize what type of passive and magic abilities you grant your characters.
I don't see how that is whining over every little detail. That sounds like having a clear idea of what you want to be kept intact as far as the large stuff goes.
As with anythimg it differs between peeps. What some people wanted was a remaster while others want a remake or are interested in one at the least.
And given that Nomura has made it clear that he intends to challenge the original gameplay with something, this game is most definitely going to be a remake (which will rustle countless jimmies).

I'm surprised some posters are just now realizing that these kind of changes are being implemented. It was already said in the E3 reveal that you should not expect it to be the same FF7 as the one released.
This was said so for story changes, and gameplay changes.
Anyways, they're targeting not to make changes so drastic to disillusion the fans, so I'll trust them to do it justice.
