I don't think they'll have an issue adding Cait Sith

This reminded me:

I HAVE TO SEE MAH GURL TIFA IN HD
 
Wow, I was expecting them to just talk about the game, not show a trailer with gameplay in it. While it's not strictly turn based, the game looks amazing and I'm sure I'll enjoy the combat system that is being implemented.

The final shot of Cloud's face almost instantly reminded me of Lightning. He's gonna make for a very pretty Cloudette come Don Corneo's scenes. lol



Aside from missing a few lines like "kissed a princess yet?" I think the DS translation is much better than Wolsey's. It certainly reads a lot better.

Don't be surprised if a Lightning costume will be the only thing that Corneo chooses in this remake lol.

For a game that is years? away I cannot help but be disappointed by the trailer. Graphics look great (not shocked). Presentation looks fantastic (not shocked). Game-play looked rough, sluggish (not shocked).

And it's a completely different game. Totally different genre now. I like my action RPG's as much as the next person, but this seems completely out of character.

Huge fucking bummer.

I really don't understand what people are expecting from a game if you can be anything but excited for everything shown today minus the battle system. What about this is a "huge fucking bummer" to you?
 
They should have stuck with the slightly more cartoonish character designs from the original. But what I saw in the trailer is exactly what I expected.
 
Ok, now im hyped. Looks amazing, pretty close to what i wanted for the remake.

Bring it on SE, i'm beyond ready for this. Too many years, almost a life, waiting for this.

Kinda wanted a full party system / control with a new spin on turn based combat myself. Its not a huge fucking bummer, but it does take the wind out of more than a few people sails.

Everything else looks and sounds top notch, but man... everything main series FF doesnt need to be action based.
 
So I edited and put together a gif out of the two Guard Scorpion scenes. No more confusion allowed :lol

it will be interesting to see what story is added if anything. and how much freedom is removed.

i'm gonna guess the world map isn't going to be around and it will be more like FFX.

Well yea, but outside of the battle system it's everything I wanted and more. I wanted real-time combat, and this looks like ATB more than full real-time.

Cloud looks like Lightning with a different hair style. It's like he's never had to shave a day in his life.

About all Cloud had going for him in the original was that he looked cool. (Which worked fine because it was all the story needed) He doesn't look cool here.

But you do have full party control.
 
Originally I was worried about them going with more action oriented combat, but after seeing that you control Barrett in some way. I'm not worried at all, just didn't want to be locked in as Cloud.

Because Lightning was designed to be Cloud with a different hair style.
 
I am really impressed with the direction this remake is going. My only hope is that certain events are fleshed out more. My only fear is that the game won't have enough weight to it. FF7 was a huge game in every category. Having the remake comparable in assets will be a huge undertaking. With fully rendered areas the expectation of going more places goes up for the player i believe. All and all I am happy even though I see this game being at least a 2020 release date title.
 
I'm completely pooped. I think I'm gonna try and relax now from all the analysis and hype.

Thanks for the entertainment and fun, everyone!

I think he looks pretty cool.

He's always looked like a boy-band reject, and I'd always assumed he was a teenager? How old is he?
 
The trailer was really good and I think they're doing the smart play of reusing animations from FFXV when necessary. I'm honestly surprised that Tifa wasn't in the trailer though, nor did I expect the surprisingly larger focus on Biggs, Wedge and Jessie. Maybe the remake will give them a more personal, emotional fate this time around?

The Sector 6 Don Corneo section is gonna be bonkers!
 
I can't imagine a game as big as FFVII with that visual fidelity, there are a lot of completely different locations in the game, and I'm even getting near the world map discussion.

So here's what's going to happen, SE can send me a check for the great idea.
The game's final title will be something stupid like

Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Destruction Infinity

You're watching the infamous Aeris death scene, Cloud gently let her go back to the Lifestream, the camera focuses on his eyes, burning with revenge. Cut to black, the title appears, but letters start to slowly disappear. Only the capital letters remain.

FF VII: CD I
To Be Continued

Preorder the second installment of our legendary FFVII Trilogy coming out in 2021.
Please Understand.

Yeah and compare that to Advent Children, Kingdom hearts where he actually had normal arms like an adult. The current ones and the ones from the original artwrok are grotesque.

You're right, Kingdom Hearts Cloud had good proportions. He's a bit buffer than I remembered, actually.

He spent 4 years in a test tube and has just escaped a few weeks before these scenes, unlike in Advent Children and KH.

Level 99 arms vs Level 1 arms

Arms get bigger as you level up confirmed

other than the battle system, what i'm interested in is the weapon/materia system
is Materia staying? will they keep every weapon in the original, and thus having to do models/actions for each one?
Click to expand...

Everything is speculation at this point, but materia is most defnitely staying. It likely won't have the same wide array of options as it did in the original, at least not all at once.

Here's the thing. This is much bigger than just a good looking game. This is something that people have been emotionally invested in for a decade if not more. This is something people were hoping could have effects outside of itself, such as bringing back a dormant genre that did not disappear because of consumer disinterest, but because of the development side of the industry.

So while everything but the combat does indeed look fantastic, that one aspect is a very big part of the whole experience that had a chance to change trends in the industry toward more variety, but that didn't happen. Something many people were hoping for did not happen.

Yeah, seriously. I was SHOCKED when it busted into gameplay footage.

Dat CC2 effect :D

Lord Phol said:
Hmm don't know how to feel about this. The music brings back the nostalgia, but everything else just feels out of place. Barrett doesn't feel like Barrett and the kingdom hearts combat doesn't feel ff7 to me.

I have a feeling that this is going to end up worse than the original game.

It would not measure up to the original game to begin with in a lot of people's minds. There's no need to directly compare them in that way.
