Final Fantasy VII Remake: Nomura Confirms Combat is Action Based

I don't get the people saying turn based rpg are ancient.

Cause ya know what?

So are action based rpgs. Those go back just as long. Remember Ys? Secret of 'series'? Star Ocean? Tales of 'thing'? Soul Blazer? .hack? Shining Wisdom? An many others?

I dun see anyone calling for that style of rpg to be put to bed despite having its time in the limelight!

Combat system aside, I wouldn't mind. The game is buggy as hell, after all.

Plus, an unaltered version with ancient gameplay systems exists already.

Sorry those that want it to stay faithful, but a new coat of paint isn't enough for this fan. It's actually pretty silly to think that would be all they do.

Shame. I dont mind the combat being action based but from these guys it will boring for sure. None of their games have good combat; crisis core, KH etc...They are all boring.

Here for it. Can't wait to use Tifa, Yuffie and Vincent in the new gameplay system.

Lol i doubt it will play like that if crisis core is any indication.That game had a boring combat. Also coming from CC2, we'll have a lot of qte.

I hope they bring back the DMW for actiony exciting, tense will it or will it not happen level ups, summons, materia growth, and flashbacks!

btw whats with the QTE talk? The .hack games weren't littered with those. Pretty sure only G.U. games had 'em an that was just for opening trapped doors/chests.

I'd love to see this at E3 taking center stage at the Sony presser.

However, I think that's unlikely with the likes of God of War, Red Dead 2 and Destiny 2 around the corner. I'd think Sony is more desperate to try and secure the latter 2 than FFVII remake in terms of marketing alongside the PS brand.

Ideally a release date and a hefty trailer should be delivered at the event, but I think we'll just get something minor like a few character teaser trailers.

PROVE ME WRONG PLEASE.

Can't really judge it without trying first. Alpha release, please.

Why won't they learn from Ni-Oh team.

You do know CC2 isnt making the decisions on the Remake right, thats nomura and his team, CC2 isnt the only ones helping with the remakes development, they were name dropped because they are the more well known, also isnt mitsunori takahashi handling the combat design of the game, he was involved with KH and directed Dissidia 012, it also wont play like CC either since that game is all on tabata and his team

Is it a millennial thing to keep saying turn based wasn't part of what embodied the whole package of FF7?

And to the guy above who mentioned action rpgs, I've always said that as well... All the genres are old as fuck now, been playing action rpgs and real time action games since the 80s....its just as archaic if someone wants to go that route with turn based.

Action based? That's not FFVII. What a shitty design decision by them.

Yeah, this is not FF7, this is FF7 Remake. So they never promised you FF7 in the first place.

Seriously guys, i said it from day one. if your too attached to your own specific version of FF7, don't even bother playing the new game, your gonna be disappointed because they didn't do what you wanted.

I just want the devs to do what they want with the game quite honestly. I don't think the devs should care about adhering to nostalgia addled fan demands as opposed to making a game in the modern era how they want to make it.

They have the right to do that and be give the benefit of a doubt about it, you can always play the 1997 original.

Well they shouldn't be surprised then when/if the game bombs.

This just isn't a comment that seems to be from an actual fan that was there for day 1 in 1997.

Could be a buncha newbs brought into japanese games / rpgs via Souls crap an want the remake of one of the hypest games ever ta fit the only style of game they know!

j/k'ing! ...I hope.

I'm a day 1'er! I always wanted for this ta be, gameplay-wise, the REmake of its generation. Keep the base gameplay, pretty everything up, add new
compilation *hides*
content an stuff!

A true fan wouldn't say that.

This elitism is sickening. Nobody cares about your or a minority of other people's definition of a 'true fan' in regards to what turn based gameplay did or did not mean to FF7. Wait until the game is out and if its crap its crap. If its good, don't say anything at all if its going to devolve into a stupid purity test they never promised to adhere to.

Seriously, there are certain people who act like nothing but whiners and children for nothing in particular. On the internet? How surprising i know, but it it gets irritating

Funny, all I'm stating is how I personally believe those who loved FF7 day 1 in 1997 would most likely crave to experience it again except prettier and shinier and not be happy with them ditching the classic combat system.

The game will bomb because a minority of people want to cry about the game not being turn based? Yeah, sure thing

Well, there's many reasons it might bomb, and I'm not saying it will bomb, but that if it does they shouldn't be surprised after changing up a fundamental aspect of the game just because.

Add me to that list. I bought it day one back then and I'm mighty disappointed it won't be turn based.
 
I hope they go all out crazy with this thing. Original FF7 exists on so many platforms already. Turn based isn't dead, I don't subscribe to that belief but I do think the same old game with a fresh paint isn't going to cut it. This thing can still be cool and not be turned based.

You can express an opinion without the whole "true fan" angle. Comes off as being super elitist.

Well you need to toughen up, it's just words on a screen and a simple opinion that you can disagree with

No, that would be a bit more reasonable. Instead you're sitting there deciding who is and isn't a 'true' fan (whatever that is) based on your arbritrary criteria. Very un-Dude like.

No, I said on my opinion a true fan wouldn't disregard the classic turn based combat for one of the most pivotal jrpgs in history that did turn based very well. I'm not deciding anything, but I still believe what I said. I feel a modern day fan that came into the game later in life is swayed a lot easier in seeing turn based combat ditched. If you disagree that's fine but as I said it's how I view it.

Just because? You mean because they want to make a new combat system. They don't need any other reason to need to do it. They don't need anyone's approval, most certainly not those people who are just going to complain no matter what inevitably gets changed.

Because in my mind when it comes to gaming and situations like this, people that are invested typically want their memories intact. Therefore I consider passionate fans of select games aren't easy to just see huge aspects of said game ditched willy nilly. They fight for what they feel is a very important aspect, not just say oh well.

Interpret it how you want.

In a handful of years when say we see a demon's souls remake for instance, people will want it's feel intact. They wouldn't want a combat system of let's say Nioh or bloodborne.. They want the combat that made the game special in the first place.

I pretty much agree with what Inuhanyou is saying and I was there for day 1 in 1997. It was my first rpg ever and am reserving judgement on this game.

It just sounds so pretenious with you going around acussing people of not being true fans who were there from the start because they arent automatically damning this game and its action approach.

Lol I'm just busting some balls

But I still feel that the majority of people who played it in 97 most likely, 9 times out of 10 want the game to play as it did back then.

Ultimately it doesn't matter what I or anyone says tho, I'll buy the game and play it, but it's still a fucking stupid move.

At least have a turn based option for people who want it

You're reading comments and then proclaiming whether they're written by a 'true fan'. It's pretty childish.

I played it around '98ish and I think you're being a bit silly.

So slight offtopic but not completely unrelated topic. Anyone here played FFVII New Threat mod? The amount of changes to the gameplay is staggering. Game's actually challenging now especially the bosses. Equipment and spells and characters receive a lot of overhaul, a lot of new side quest and optional fights including monster arena inspired by that of FFX, etc.
