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

This looks incredible. I'm curious to see if they truly capture the spirit of Midgar though. That place stands out as one of the most memorable in all of gaming, but will making it too realistic take away from its atmosphere?

The character designs also look great. Clearly Square ripped off Sakurai's confident version of Cloud. CLEARLY.
 
I really wish I had the chance to play and full comprehend ff7 when I was younger but alas I was too young :( I want to have more reason to be hyped other than the game itself looking incredibly. I want to have all the history you guys have with this game :(

Be happy you don't have to experience the heartbreak some of us are having of it not being how we envisioned it :/
 
So I edited and put together a gif out of the two Guard Scorpion scenes. No more confusion allowed :lol

I really hope Barret tells me to attack while its tail's up. For old times.
 
Nobody looked like a human being in the PS1 era a lot of the time >_>

AC cloud did though, who was before Lightning by like 5 years..

[Bracketing aside the scalding FFXIII Stigma]Lightning has her own specific animations in FFXIII and particularly in the intro of the game that have nothing to do with AC.

Imo its clear that Lightning is having some sort of effect on Cloud.

Its not a crime to think that when both are designed by the same character and probably some animators worked on both.
 
I enjoyed FFXIII, but since the very beginning I cringed at Lightning. It was just so clear that Square tried to push her as the new Cloud, by basically cloning Cloud as a female.

*The attitude. "I don't give a shit about you guys". Stoic, no-nonsense. Cold, arrogant.

*The hairstyle. The side of Lightning's hairstyle resembles that of Cloud. A lot.

*The whole Ex-Soldier thing. Being a former member of the military, and defecting. Hell, I even remember Sazh calling her "ex-soldier".

*Only one shoulder plate. On the left shoulder.

*The game begins in a train.

*The first boss is a giant robotic scorpion guard.

*The first partner is a black dude who uses fire arms, who is irritated by the protagonist's arrogance and coldness.


I was like seriously Square....?

lol so true.

My man. Genesis da GOAT.

I love Crisis Core, but I couldn't stand Genesis.

"The Gift of the Goddess"
"The Gift of the Goddess"
"The Gift of the Goddess"
"The Gift of the Goddess"
"The Gift of the Goddess"
"The Gift of the Goddess"

sigh
 
I'll say it: the world map doesn't do anything for FFVII. The locations are the highlight, not the exploration. This game will work fine structured like FFX.

Gonna disagree there. The world map was magical and had a certain kind of atmosphere to it that connected areas ala X/XII just don't have.

Besides, where are we going to have that amazing music without the world map?
 
He's been suffering from mako poisoning for years and doesn't even know who he really is. He's gonna be SICKLY

I'd think he should look slender but like he's up for a fight considering that's what he's good at.

It would be neat to see his physical appearance change throughout the story but I doubt they have that in mind.

Crisis Core could've been a great 5 hour Zack piece, but they had to add Genesis filler.

I thought he was fine in the first half of the game as a developmental antagonist for Zack.

The game lost me when it revealed Genesis was barely off screen during one of the original game's most iconic scenes.

Just...no. Fuck you, Crisis Core.
 
Well see how this goes. It looks cool, seems to kinda sorta maybe keep the spirit of at least the tone of the world and stuff.

Not a big fan of the ARPG angle though. I'd rather have turn based ATB system. However, not going to shut this down yet, since they wowed me to hell and back with FF12, so if it's like that, it has promise.

It needs custimizability with the materia and a big, rich world that spans the original 3 discs. If it's just FF13 with cloud in a tiny hallway, I'm out.
 
I'm surprised they're showing this kind of gameplay this soon!

Now I'm starting to imagine the late game with the weapon monsters scenes. It's gonna be freaking insane.
 
Don't be surprised if a Lightning costume will be the only thing that Corneo chooses in this remake lol.

I said it before and I'll say it again, I'd actually be disappointed if Cloud *didn't* wear a Lightning wig for the Don Corneo scene.
 
Remake vs Original

Also, I don't get the Cloud arm debate. They made him look different in AC and people flew into like, a fucking berserker rage for some stupid ass reason. Now they go almost directly off Cloud's original art and it's still a problem. SE can't win.
This is why they were afraid of doing a remake for so long. Same thing with the battle system. Conservative vs. Progressive FFVII fans are almost as divisive as they are in real politics.
 
Off-Topic: Im still surprised that "reaction" videos are still a thing.

On-topic: I'll be pleasantly surprised if the combat system plays like a modern day Parasite Eve / Valkyria / Dragon Quarter. The battle system shouldnt have been something that would be hard to please. I really dont think fans of the original would be ticked at a take on turn based, and newcomers wouldnt really have past experience anyway, so they'd have 0 expectations. Only going in a totally different direction could make things so divisive.

Cloud arm arguement is dumb, his current gen model looks great. Its not trying to drive toward high large eye anime influence ala Star Ocean 4, but manages to capture a good amount of the original style. As do the other models and enemies.

Also I knew Beau Billingsley would return for Barret.
 
It's funny. As goofy and high-pitched the voice of Wedge is, that's actually how I imagined him to sound back in the day. It's like they read my mind.
 
Does Xenoblade/FF12 type auto-attack seem to be an option based on the combat footage? It seems like it would free up the ability to navigate through materia/items/summons.

Also, it didn't look like there was any active dodging, at least not shown. Assuming there's a menu selection to defend and not a button held to defend, would that imply that when you activate defend you do so for a set amount of time (based on ATB)?
 
I'll say it: the world map doesn't do anything for FFVII. The locations are the highlight, not the exploration. This game will work fine structured like FFX.

I disagree. For me the best part of the game was when you were free with your ship and were allowed to search yoirself for hidden stuff. Now people domt bother exploring anymore and just look for it online. Back then I think I spend 50hours to breed chocobos / try to find hidden caves / landing on every island and hidden spots to see if there was something cool/ be the vest at every single game of the gold saucer / ... That freedom man. Its the best

Same here. Gives me hope they'll keep some of the goofy feel of the original. Still not sure how it would go over with photorealism though.
 
Dat voice acting doe... wince
I really hope dual audio is a thing. Not that these voices are terrible (with the exception of maybe Cid, who will no doubt be a southern redneck again), but the Japanese ones are sogood.gif

On the other hand, I want to be able to switch to English for a couple of scenes

"Let's mosey"

"Siddown and drink your GODDAMN TEA!"

"I'm takin that outta your pay, hot stuff"

"It's all because of this $@%$ pizza"
 
A important reminder to people debating the character design (especially the hair).

.....This is a Nomura game. You better believe he's gonna be revising the character designs til the day before this game goes gold. Especially the hair!

Expect changes throughout development.

Yep

Let's look at female Cloud for reference
