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

Just started the ps4 re release last night, man that opening cut scene still gives me chills. This game has atmosphere out the wazoo and i cant wait to see that and more fully realized in 2017
 
Just how far into development is this? I've heard everything from "since the day they announced it" all the way to "for over a year before they announced it".

"since the day they announced it" is crazy. I think Nomura said it has been about a year before E3.

That'd also roughly line up, give or take a few months, with the time Nomura was taken off the XV project, and presumably transferred to this one instead. So at least a year or so of development and/or planning.

Plus they said, around this year's E3 i think, that development had begun before the PC port was announced.

Only concrete thing they've said was that it started production before the PS4 port was announced. So it's around a year and change into development, give or take a few months.

I tried looking for specifics but it's confirmed that it was in development before the PS4 port announcement. And I think I remember someone saying up to a year before the announcement, could be wrong. So probably like 18-24 months of work so far.
 
MGS TTS (a remake) came to the Gamecube though. And 3ds has proven exceptionally capable of catering to high profile Japanese game releases like Yo-kai Watch and Monster Hunter. NX doesn't seem farfetched.

That was before snake appearing in SSMB tho...
 
One things for certain: Even if this remake turns out to be a wash, we'll at least still have the original PSX game on PSN and such. Unlike the original unaltered SW trilogy.
Haha this is why I think it's actually kind of fair when people say "if you want the original, go play that." Because at least that thing will continue to exist, unlike Star Wars where the only available version, as far as I know, are the tampered with versions.
 
Posted this a few pages back but didn't see any responses...

I know we know very little, but is the assumption that there are multiple playable characters or that the player controls Cloud only?
 
have they said how much of the world will actually be there? will they be re-creating everything?

I am wondering the same thing. Will this be a truncated version of FFVII, or will all the major areas from the original, like the Golden Saucer and its mini games or the Honeybee Inn, be in the remake?

Good question. It has been all Midgar footage so far, yes ? The amount of details for this area is great and it makes me wonder how they will recreate every house interior in Kalm, Nibelheim, Yutai, etc. I am no expert but I would say that's probably a lot of work. Hence, will they really 'remake' the whole game ? I could see how they would be looking for alternatives.
 
That is pretty much saying, you are allowed to change as long as you keep thing the way it is. It's quite selfish (in a way) and limit the possibility of game creation, especially for entertainment industry like this. Dude, it's been 20 years, the whole world has moved on. Even RPG made by japanese nowadays no longer being fully turn-base.

And this change is introduced by (mostly) the same group of people who envision this game in the first place. They use turn base, random encounter, materia, etc, at that point because it fits the game and circumstances at that time. If they change things 20 years later because it's no longer the same environment (market, gamer, hardware, etc) then so be it. It's called creativity.

Oh they're free to do whatever they want based on perceived market trends and just how they want to design games. I'm similarly free to be upset when my favorite game of all time undergoes a drastic change that I feel is unwarranted.

I doubt you'll be able to go into all those interiors. I'd expect mostly the required story areas and not much more.
 
Why do I keep reading that XV and FF7r have the same combat? Do some fail to realize that XV combat was rebooted when Tabata came along and Nomura got booted? I mean Jesus that small detail annoys the shit outta me since some folks have no idea what they're talking about.

On a positive note it's a great time to be a SE and FF fan with multiple projects in the works ( XV, World of FF, Nier, XIV, FF7r, KH3, 2.8, perhaps XVI in the future, etc) there's something for everyone no need to shit on one title. It's the first time years SE has had multiple games in development let's rejoice for once.

Not everyone is following both games all that closely and might be misinformed. Hell, look at all the people shocked (not angry/disappointed, but shocked) that VIIr isn't going to be turn based despite Nomura already saying that it wouldn't months ago. Some people just aren't up to date.
 
If there was ever a game that Square knew they shouldn't take a shortcut on, it's this one.

This is my thinking as well. I think they are going to take their time and give this game the full treatment it deserves with things missing or being altered only when it makes sense. This game is quite possibly their most important project to date. Hopefully with this game not being made on a proprietary engine and already have a plot/character/music foundation to start on will keep them sailing smoothly.
 
We're no strangers to fucking fans
You know the rules and so do I
An action game is what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other company
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna buy your crap
You always let you down you've finally made me run around and hate you
Always gonna make you cry
Time to say goodbye
Always telling lies and hurt you

We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but
You're too dumb to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Always gonna let you down
Gonna make it an action game
Always gonna make you cry
Final fantasy 7 say goodbye
Always gonna tell a lie and hurt you
 
If they get this game right, the demand for expensive collectors and box set editions of this from repressed 30 something married guys like myself trying to relive their 90s gaming youth is going to be insane

There better be a CE, price is a non-issue. Shiiiiiet.

The fuck is this shit....

To stay on topic I think it looks great and I'm digging the character designs especially barret and the battle system from little we see looks good.

Yup. If they both come out legit, I have all the monies for collectors editions of this and REMake 2.

All. The. Monies.

And I've never bought a collectors box, limited edition or even steelbook in my 33 years alive.
 
Okay so I haven't visited GAF in 15 or so hours. What have I missed? Any super high quality footage released yet?

You've posted in GAF a total of three times

One was this, another was the same post in the FFVII PS4 PC port OT. I can't wait to see what genius you have for your fourth post!
 
Not everyone is following both games all that closely and might be misinformed. Hell, look at all the people shocked (not angry/disappointed, but shocked) that VIIr isn't going to be turn based despite Nomura already saying that it wouldn't months ago. Some people just aren't up to date.

yet they're still in denial and keep saying it's going to be a turn based game. i dont even care about the combat at this point, as long as i can play the game it's enough for me.
 
Looks pretty good. I would be lying if I didn't say it made the 12/13 year old FFVII fanboy of years past in me all kinds of excited.

It would of been perfect if it was turn-based, but I know that was a very long shot from the moment they announced it so can't say I am disappointed all that much.
