Yeah, FFVII's world was really wacky and now it's gonna be more FFXV like. No more things like this which always weirded me out

It depends, considering all the strange monsters lurking in FFXV's world, like Samurai and Goblins. I don't think Square is as anal about adhering to "realism" as fans thing they are. I think they don't mind slipping in some strange and bizarre things into their "realistic" games. We'll probably see Cactaurs in this game, looking as cute and cartoony as they did in the other games. Tonberries too!

That was a mouth?


I always thought it was...a...thing.

It's a jaggy-mouthed Slenderman head.

 

[God Dayumm]

Yes. He was. It least in at section of the game.

Yes, he was "edgy" like that.

Yeah, he was a dick especially near the beginning.

He was a huge asshole in the early parts of the game, lol. He shrugged a lot too (which was funny with the cartoony animations).

It's fine then. I assume he 'grows as a character' later on

 

[Giever]

Seriously, what is 2ch saying about this? I know there's more than a few people in here that can check.

Kagari (I think) responded to this earlier and said the responses were pretty similar to what we're seeing from the West.

 

[Sesto]

Interesting that Roberto Ferrari is designing characters here too.

that guy seems to work on whatever Nomura is working on. Makes me kinda happy, since he is an Italian that emigrated to Japan xD

 

[Meccanical]

It's fine then. I assume he 'grows as a character' later on

Yes he does.



He actually stops being so edgy half way through the Midgar section.

 

[ShaoranWright]

Welp, I guess I'll have to buy another PS4 when the limited edition with this game releases.

 

[Turin]

Despite my overwhelming excitement, I think the ONLY thing that bothered me about the trailer was Barret. No, not the way he looks, not the glasses, but his attitude.

He seems to calm, collected and cool, while in the original was desperate, angry and loud.

Mmh... We'll see how it goes.

I actually like that Barret seems to have a brain in the new trailer.

With that said, I wouldn't mind if he still cursed like a sailor.

 

[Dangansona]

The only voice that seems not so great to me is Wedge. Have no problems with the other voices so far!

To be honest though bad voices usually come from children characters or female party members in JRPGs and FF, so we'll see how Tifa and Aeris are...

 

[Damerman]

Woooooooaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!

 

[KanameYuuki]

While watching the trailer all I could think of was FF XIII Versus, and I hope it plays exactly what Versus was going to be at first. I could never get into any turn based game that's not Disgaea so I'm really hyped to finally play FFVII.

 

[entremet]

I wonder if Marlene is redesigned. Barret's daughter.

 

[Harmen]

This shot reminds me so much of REmake. And I mean this in the nicest way possible.

I love how the graphical style absolutely nails the feeling of those 90's-early 2000's pre-rendered backgrounds. Exploring FFVII's world in these graphics is a dream come true.

 

[Ishida]

I need him screaming "All because of that !$9@)/% pizza!!"

 

[Battlechili]

I was thinking that too but it looks like there is no jump button, which would imply otherwise.

 

[Meccanical]

With that said, I wouldn't mind if he still cursed like a sailor.

A big make or break moment for the voice direction of this game is going to be how they handle

Spoiler

his breakdown after the Sector7 plate falls

 

[Spinluck]

Looks cool.

Never really cared for a remake of this game, but I'm so glad that a lot of FF fans are getting their wish. The game itself is such a huge fan service.

 

[Dangansona]

that guy seems to work on whatever Nomura is working on. Makes me kinda happy, since he is an Italian that emigrated to Japan xD

That is cool actually! What else has he done?

 

[nelsonroyale]

Looks very impressive! Exactly what I have been wanting so far!

It's a jaggy-mouthed Slenderman head.

I hope so. I like how strange FF7 was, even if that playhouse thing was bizarre.

They better keep the Snow Queen

 

[legacyzero]

Cant wait to see what the game looks like when they open it up outsied of Midgar. Its mega beautiful now. Seeing a gigantic snake impaled on a tree, or a giant cannon stretching out over the ocean will be mind blowing.

 

[Easy_D]

I actually like that Barret seems to have a brain in the new trailer.

With that said, I wouldn't mind if he still cursed like a sailor.

Cid and Barret not cursing left and right would be the worst thing ever. Otherwise from what they've shown so far I am absolutely loving the direction they're heading in.

Finally Square can make HD towns, thank god they worked their shit out.

Edit: Also for some reason Wedge reminds me of JonTron :lol, the goofy voice and everything

 

[MissDeviling]

I actually like that Barret seems to have a brain in the new trailer.

I don't mind if they toned down the cursing from Barret, since it always felt like a bit of overlap with Cid's character to me. But they'd better keep Cid's foul mouth intact, lol.

 

[encephalon]

It's interesting that many saw what they wanted to see, expected to see, or were afraid to see. So many initial posts about it being an action RPG, whereas the battle system in the trailer is by command.

Edit: or not.

 

[Massive_Edge]

do they have to put in cait sith in this game?

 

[ayob]

honestly what are the possibilities that there might be a boss fight that uses the ATB battle system? OR to go extreme, what if you can choose what battle system you want to play the game as?

 

[Inuhanyou]

While watching the trailer all I could think of was FF XIII Versus, and I hope it plays exactly what Versus was going to be at first. I could never get into any turn based game that's not Disgaea so I'm really hyped to finally play FFVII.

This game reminds me so much of versus....i love it. Nomura is really going all out.

I'm glad they are toning down Barret. I loved his heart, but it felt like the whole "what japanese people think black people are like" stereotype. And the localization didn't help.

He can still have his character without being typical angry black dude.

 

[Master7]

Also, for as customizable as the combat is, with the materia system, most fights don't require any nuance whatsoever. You can just hold X the entire time.

And, to be honest, that's what I did most of the time, rather than try to most efficiently take out every enemy, including battles with the same layouts I had done 5 times before. Oh, it's three Bombs again, but why would I bother to even exploit their weakness when I can kill them while taking hardly any damage by just spamming attack.

What you're saying here has more to do with the game's difficulty level, rather than the Materia system itself.

 

[birthbysleep]

How is it possible they're able to put together great trailers when the XV team cannot.

 

[Harmen]

Was Cloud edgy like that in the original, or are those lines an addition?

I love FFVII to bits for a vast amount of reasons, but Cloud is most certainly not one of them. But to answer your question, yes, I remember him like that.

 

[MissDeviling]

do they have to put in cait sith in this game?

I'd much rather have

Spoiler

Reeve

playable instead.

Also, I wish Turks would join us.

 

[KeRaSh]

Did not expect them to show something like this at all. This and Ni No Kuni 2 made my night!

 

[half a moon]

It's interesting that many saw what they wanted to see, expected to see, or were afraid to see. So many initial posts about it being an action RPG, whereas the battle system in the trailer is by command.

It's the kh/verses system. Arpg

 

[DiipuSurotu]

That is cool actually! What else has he done?

Tekken: Death By Degrees

 

[Meccanical]

How is it possible they're able to put together great trailers when the XV team cannot.

I guess Nomura edits the trailers himself.

I can't wait to see the one next year when the game is more complete.

 

[Yoshichan]

do they have to put in cait sith in this game?

He has a massive role in the storyline, so yes.

 

[Drexel]

Cannot wait to see Red XIII walking upright on the boat 😀

 

[Battlechili]

Tekken: Death By Degrees
[insert images here]

Looks a lot like Nomura's designs for Aya Brea.

 

[Massive_Edge]

He has a massive role in the storyline, so yes.

true.....just an awful character though

 

[Airola]

All that happened in a single shot originally because they were literally moving on a still picture, not a fully 3d environment.

Yes, and the possibilities of modern technology makes it even more baffling that they don't know what to show and where to point the camera at to make a shot that actually makes a difference instead of focusing solely on making the screen look cool.


If rose tinted glasses are needed to appreciate that 1997 shot, then I'd suggest the whole team of FF7 Remake to wear them.

 

[Silvawuff]

Wow, it looks amazing so far, and it's probably far far far farrrrrr away from being done. Glad to see a lot of the side characters put in the spotlight; they're showing "yes, this is the same story, just a completely new way to experience it."

 

[injurai]

Tekken: Death By Degrees

goodness these are nice designs

 

[artsi]

That is cool actually! What else has he done?

Can't find a lot of his work online, but at least this version of Nina (Tekken) and Cindy from FFXV.

Females seem to be his forte. Maybe he's going to design Tifa and Yuffie, or something.

 

[Morrigan Stark]

I hope not. Those female character designs are terrible.

I love how the graphical style absolutely nails the feeling of those 90's-early 2000's pre-rendered backgrounds. Exploring FFVII's world in these graphics is a dream come true.

Yeah that's really the most appealing part of the game for me.

I don't mind if they toned down the cursing from Barret, since it always felt like a bit of overlap with Cid's character to me. But they'd better keep Cid's foul mouth intact, lol.

Yeah, Cid needs to curse like a sailor, and hopefully real curses and not mild or censored shit. I don't mind if they make Barrett less of a caricature of an angry black man though. I dig the new cool as fuck, badass Blade-like Barrett more. -)

 

[ackl]

How is it possible they're able to put together great trailers when the XV team cannot.

Nomura.

That is all.

 

[Squire]

It's interesting that many saw what they wanted to see, expected to see, or were afraid to see. So many initial posts about it being an action RPG, whereas the battle system in the trailer is by command.

It looks like Kingdom Hearts.

These "people are seeing things" posts are some kind of bizarre.

 

[Drexel]

true.....just an awful character though

I always hated him. I remember playing for the first time and thinking it was very strange the way he just joined like he did. Thought it was complete bollox. Lazy story telling

 

[Sinoox]

Good on Square Enix for doing this. I'm sure this is going to sell a crazy amount of units. Not only are the old school fans going to buy this, everyone else is too. Final Fantasy 7 had one of the most interesting artistic direction in the series; they can do a lot with this game. That being said, I wish more games got this kind of treatment like Ocarina of Time and the Metal Gear games.

 

[Cindi Mayweather]

He has a massive role in the storyline, so yes.

So, changing the battle system drastically: good.

Taking Cait Sith out of the game: bad.

Honestly, Cait has no place in this game. Reeve would be a far more suitable replacement.

 

[morikaze]

 

[Gyossaits]

do they have to put in cait sith in this game?

He'd probably sound better than Wedge.
