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

This getting a remake

R&C 1 getting a reimaging

Such good times

+1 The RC redux is really astounding me. It's like a whole new game but it feels familiar.

I feel there would be a lot less purist complaining about that game, but it's clear it's better than just a remake. I think FF7-R will see the same benefits.
 
Looks great. Glad it didn't end up being a turn based game. Can't stand that type of gameplay.

Was excited for Versus so I'm glad it seems to have basically become this. Nice to see Nomura gets to make a new ARPG
 
This makes me want a Secret of Mana remake

That would be so good. The designs of the main trio translated well into Rise of Mana.

I really hope the localization team of the remake has played the original game.

Chrono Trigger DS was translated by a guy who didn't know shit about the original and Chrono Cross, and it showed.

I didn't even know Chrono Trigger was retranslated for DS. It wasn't any good? What was wrong with it?
 
Doesn't really change a thing. Cait Sith still sucks.

If it doesn't really change a thing that what you said was wrong, then why do you even bring it up as support, lol.

I get it, you don't like Cait Sith and you don't want him/it in the game. As far as whether or not Cait Sith will fit and be consistent with the re-imagining's style, that remains to be seen. We've hardly seen anything yet, and, in fact, what we have seen has mapped pretty closely onto the original.
 
I was on blackout today. Used that spoiler free thread. You know while i was watching the trailer i was loving it buyt the skeptic in me for some reason thought GAF was shitting all over it. Im now re-reading the live thread and glad to see most everyone loved it. SE finally getting some good vibes these days.
 
By the time the game comes out (2017?), and passes the exclusivity time (1 year?) the gap between PS4 - XO will be that big that maybe for square-enix will not be profitable making a port for XO for the number of copies they steem selling.

So maybe the game will remain exclusive anyway lol.
 
Something I noticed in the trailer...

At the moment before he jumps off on to the train, there are some differences in the scene. The main thing is the distortion effect, which suggests Cloud is having some sort of mental thing, but there's another thing too.

Right before the distortion, there's a Shinra grunt who seems to be surprised by Cloud or something (just lip movements, so it's hard to tell), possibly saying Cloud's name. Cloud turns to him, and then there's the distortion. Then when Cloud runs, the Shinra grunt moves towards him, and it actually cuts to him with his helmet lifted up, face visible and hand outstretched to Cloud. (It's hard to see his face in the gif, but in the video itself you can see it's actually fully rendered, not just his jaw.)

I'm wondering... is this a new character? A grunt that recognizes Cloud, and causes Cloud to have a mental spasm because it clashes with his
false memories as Zack
?

That's a great catch. You can definitely tell of the grunt holding his hand out in a lingering way, as if trying to reach him. He's not pointing his gun like the other grunts so...

Very interesting.
 
yeah he always did barret voice tifa is probally racheal leggh cook and yuffie is toss up between christy carlson romano and mae whitman

Both of Yuffie's VAs were great, I wonder who they'll get back?

The most important question is who will voice Aerith, because I've never seen such an iconic character go through so many awful actresses. Please come back, Mandy Moore. You were perfect in KH. Please!
 
60fps site is gorgeous as fuck. All those particles ♥
I really hope this is the final logo, is looks SO good.
I'm fine with how everything looks except for the "Remake" text! I don't like the stroke and outline around the text :/
 
I'll be interested to know how they deal with the GIANT bosses like the Weapons and the Midgar Zolom etc. It always looked a bit silly before having the characters run up their feet and stab them, but I dunno if that'll fly with this visual style/the fact you're actually controlling them.

most likey andre bowman since she was the last person to voice aerith
 
The menu isn't the thing that's influencing that idea, it's the way the attacks aren't affecting non-targeted enemies and how Barret remains stationary during his attacks. It may not be completely turn-based, but it doesn't look completely action oriented either.

You're right, but the damage going on in the background of Barret's attack suggests some kind of AI, which is similarly worrisome.
 
I didn't even know Chrono Trigger was retranslated for DS. It wasn't any good? What was wrong with it?

It wasn't a full retranslation. The job was to "clean up" Woolsey's translation and translate the new bonus content. However the translator admitted that he didn't have perfect knowledge of what people liked about the old translation (unlike on FFVI Advance, which he also worked on), so he didn't know what lines should be kept and what should be changed. So a lot of the charm of the SNES version's script was lost. He even changed "Good morning Crono!" even though Square was selling a t-shirt with that line on it as part of the promotion for the game, lol. He also never played Chrono Cross and ended up missing practically all the references to it in the bonus content.

Yeah I noticed that too, definitely took it to be an updated versions of the "this isn't just a reactor" flash of white in the early part. It's hard to tell but it seems like they fight the robot on top of the train, so maybe this just precedes the fight like in the main game.

Doesn't really change a thing. Cait Sith still sucks.

Not having Cait Sith in the game would be a much, much more egregious deviation from the source material than changing the combat system, which has already driven some people over the edge it seems.
 
Is it even possible for SE to recreate the scale of the original game and release it within a reasonable time frame? It's been over a decade since I played FF7, but I remember it was quite big.
Surely they'll have to signifcantly condense/drop some areas.
 
I cant wait to read through this thread, as soon as I get home.

Obviously watched PSX (at my friends place) and lost my mind at this, but havent been able to soak it all in yet!

I noticed this as well, and that's exactly what I meant before when I said "I hope they don't shove this clone thing" into our face so early. In the original, it's subtle enough for the longest time.

It's funny, because when Nomura said they would unveil the official title for the game I thought it'd be something othen than "Final Fantasy VII Remake" lol

Compilation of FFVII HD Remasters? FFVII PC-PS4 port, Dirge of Cerberus HD, Crisis Core HD & redone Before Crisis finally in a single collection!

That'd be amazing. And possible, actually.
