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

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
?

Ah, I'd wondered what was happening there! I love the idea of a fellow grunt recognising Cloud from back in the day.

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.

I hope we get more Reeve, as his compilation redesign was great, and he was always really charming in DoC. (Well, outside of the blue coat!) More Jamieson Price, please!
 
I hope not. Those female character designs are terrible.


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



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. -)

The thing is, Tifa is supposed to be the coolheaded, rational one. Barrett is supposed to be the one who wants to fuck shit up.
 
I dont even get some of the whining going on...

Seriously... as a fan of FFVII Im still ecstatic this remake even exists. Its 2015, of course some (alot) of things are going to change from the original...
 
I am not sold on the new battle system, I was hoping for something that was at least a little closer to the original, but I AM sold on the game. I am super stoked.
 
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.

Yes i agree with you,at the start of the original game i always imagined him yelling and being in hurry.

as for the shades i like how 90ish it looks and for sure he is going to take it off at some point later for sure
 
Holy shit. Was worried and skeptical like many were, but this looks like just about they best they could have pulled off!!!

Take your time! Can't wait!
 

I don't exactly know why, and maybe that's because I'm a sucker for turn-based, but Barret's animation while shooting doesn't look exactly as "real-time motion".
I mean, I just get the feeling nobody is actually steering him with a stick, and that is just the result of pressing "attack" with a locked on enemy nearby. In the meanwhile, the other characters act according to a gambit.

I could deal with THIS kind of "flashy" more dynamic TB combat.
 
Wow looks like they improved on everything they possibly could.

Now just have a way to save Aeris for shits n giggles and we are set for fun.
 
How is it possible they're able to put together great trailers when the XV team cannot.

FFXV team probably didn't have the content at a high enough level of completion and with the battle system changing all the time it maybe was better to wait until it was final, I expect a gameplay trailer at Jump Festa though
 
This game looks great. I don't want to play an uprezzed Final Fantay VII. I want to play the game with a new vision. This...so far....looks great.
 
To the haters, are you telling me this scene didn't get you? Click on the Youtube link while looking at the screenshot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lOv3tmcJnQ&index=60&list=PL80A1E9B2848DFAE0

Places of wonder, like the Temple of the Ancients(and the Forgotten Capital) are ones I really can't wait to see in the remake(as well as Gold Saucer, cause I'm a fool for theme parks). A part of me, though, would want them to change the hieroglyphics on the wall to look like something less overly Egyptian and something more "original". That was probably one of my old school gripes I held since 1997. No doubt they'll add more character to the locations. I mean, looking at how Wutai looked in the original(which was just full on Asian pagodas), than seeing Fort Tamblin in Crisis Core as being something that took the Asian look and added some originality with it to make it its own kinda thing, I'm guessing we'll see more of that here.

They half a decade crafting a story and another half crafting a verticle slice. It's pretty incredible.
 
I wonder if the gameplay in the trailer was real or a target render. We were burned by Versus XIII so many times that I have a hard time believing they're already at the point where they can show gameplay, even if it is outsourced.
 
Wait. Is cait sith confirm out of the game? Why is everyone saying that? Seems like a strange thing for them to just announce..
They haven't announced crap regarding Cait Sith, some people are just saying that they dislike the character.
 
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.

Also looking forward to seeing how the Midgar Zolom section is handled. I found it intimidating the first time I went through it. Imagine running from the Midgar Zolom in 3D and with modern graphics. I want to experience this.
 
I can't wait for Costa Del Sol in HD
I can't wait for the winter parts: Great Glacier, Icicle Inn, Gaea's Cliff. I'm interested in how they handle that whole section of the game.

I'm amazed that they are this far along in development, I didn't expect to see another lick of this game until next E3. Happy to see that Square is serious again and is operating efficiently.
 
I hope Genesis is far, far away from this remake. If they ruin the Nibelhiem scene again....

You're likely SOL then, it's pretty damn safe to say the elements of the extended universe will be present. Angeal and Genesis are probably going to get mentioned when going into Zack and Seph's pasts and Vincent will likely have a single transformed state (the updated Galian Beast) that becomes Chaos late in the game like Dirge.

As for me, I want all that stuff (especially Vincent gameplay with this battle system, my god) and this looks fantastic thus far.
 
Is 1080p on Youtube really the best quality we have released so far? Where is Gamersyde? I want to redo the trailer frame by frame with actual decent quality, not pixelated mess ._.

I'm fine either way real time or turn based but I hope you're right!
 
Also, Cait Sith's big moment is a big joke. He dies and is replaced like Lassie. It has 0 impact.

I might actually be alright if the game cut him. But that said I only played it for the first time a few years ago and might not remember everything about his character.
