Oh it has Tifa, but only the version ResetEra would love.

Polish is not the same as the remake that is for sure. Mouth animations look really bad along with the lighting.

I know a lot of gamers are against pre-orders, but due to my financial situation and not being able to always pay full price for a new game on release, I occasionally do physical pre-orders through GameStop.

Despite GameStop having a bad rep it's the only outlet I know of (physical or digital) that lets you pay it of anytime until the release date.

In this remake, can I punch Genesis in the face?

you could pre-order from Amazon, buy a gift card, and then apply that gift card to your pre-order

 

[Brock2621]

Sooo anyone figure out where to get the steelbook in the US?

But that's still just buying the game outright, which is basically what "preordering" means nowadays.

The visual definitely upgrade but its weird they didn't try to improve actual animations, they still kept stiff animation from PSP version with PS4 character models.

So those none important cutscenes that has less expression becomes more weird with more realistic face.

 

[AngelMuffin]

Can't wait.

Still, not pre-ordering because pre-ordering software makes zero sense.

It does if you just have to have that sweet preorder bonus content.

Hmm... should I actually temper my expectations about this? I only just realised that this is a literal remaster and aside from the visuals not much has changed, but at the same time the combat and graphics do look like FF7R.

I really liked FF7R and was expecting this to be more of the same but now I dunno...

This is NOT like FFVIIR, they improved visuals and tweaked the combat little but this is very much same PSP game that came out in 2007. If you liked the game when first came on PSP then you might enjoy this if not then reunion is gonna change your mind.

 

[Art The Clown]

Any idea when preload starts for PS5?

 

[Larxia]

While it's more than a basic remaster (so not just higher res / framerate), it's still really not enough for me to justify playing it again. I would have been interested if it was on the same level as FFVII Remake, but here... no. I also don't like that they changed Zack's voice.

FFVIIR is less of “remake” and more of new game as part of FFVII series. What you are really asking is build entire new game which as much as I enjoyed original original Crisis Core, it’s not worth putting that resource to it, I rather they put that effort on FFVIIRibirth.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

And the Nintendo switch versión?

I see. Well, I never actually played any of the original games. FF7R was pretty much my first time playing any Final Fantasy game (aside from FF9 way back when I was a kid).

Good to know that this won't be the same thing since now I can adjust my expectations a little but it still looks pretty dope on previews so I'm gonna go for it anyway. I only wonder if story-wise it's going to acknowledge this new Remake timeline or if it's going to ignore all of that and stay true to the original story. I vaguely know that this is supposed to be a prequel but still, would be cool if it was in canon with the remake.

Based on the previews the story is going to be sane as original game when it back in 2007.

I preordered for the steelbook, but I might just keep that and wait for a price drop on the game itself.
