Final Fantasy 7 Remake
I'm surprised we don't have a thread about this yet... but as you may or may not of heard, FF7 is getting remade. Announced at E3 2015, it's got a possible release date of 2016, though some rumors (Unconfirmed) are saying a wider release in 2017 to coincide with the 20th anniversary. It will no longer be a turn-based RPG, but an action-RPG with real-time combat, as seen in the trailer, along with some of the voice acting.

Also, gameplay looks awesome.

So, upon further review... I notice something. It's still ATB-based.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Haven't played any of the FF games from the last few years so I could be behind when I ask this. So regular attacks are fine as they'll allow for a more free-flow to the battle but the time bar has to be filled to perform special moves such as Limit Breaks, Summoning, Magic and Items?

The trailer does indeed look nice. The English voices also sound good.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Welp, apparently the remake is going to be episodic in nature as well and that the original composer won't be returning for the remake.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake
If the only real changes are voice acting and improved graphics... I'll pass. I don't care for VA all that much, and while improved graphics will be nice, if nothing has changed as far what happened in the original FF7... nah, I think I'd rather play something new over *we need to have FF7 (and no other final fantasy, JUST FF7) on every generation of consoles*
Be interesting how they would do FF6 or FF5 for a current gen console...

So, they're gonna make the game episodic so they can milk the maximum possible amount of royalties out of their fans, I see. And to do the game without Nobuo Uematsu is something that's really, really gonna piss off a lot of fans...

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake
At first, I was like "Hell yeah!" But if its only visual update with voice acting then I'll pass. I was hoping (albeit futilely) to keep Aerith for the entire game this time around. I wanted to utilize my Omnislash/(or other limit break) + Fury Brand combo for more than just the first disc.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Can we just calm down? We gotta think about things for a sec.
While I dobt like episodic like they say its gonna be like. I can kind of see where they are coming from, but fuck that shit episodic series a re so tell tale...
As for the composer not coming back. His contract with them no doubt expired (been a decade obviously it would expire). Who knows he might not be working on ot AS a choice, I kmow square enix enough to know that they would try reaching out to him. Since ffvii music was a pretty good hit.
And no people. You can see clearly shits getting updated. A move in particular in the trailer was NOT in the original. Where he dahses and slashes with his swofd in a wide horizontal arc. Never saw that one.
If its like lightning returns...well at least the characters are likable (I utterly despised lightning and everything about her existence made me question the laws of existence itself).
I can ser a lot of potential and im gonna go on thos with an open mind. No "Oh if its the same then I wont play it" bullshit.
Square enix itself said they would be changing stuff, adding stuff, updating stuff.
Mini rant/
Sry about that but seeing people saying " oh if its just a visual upgrade I wont play"
Dude there has already been a remame with slightly better graphics on FVII om pc. Not cha ging much from the origi al. Judt not polygons anynore but there, its even on steam for goodnes sakes.
If they are making ANOTHER remake/remaster. They know that they gotta change stuff uo.

Same, if she isn't a permamember I'm not interested in buying it myself. Even if she was, I bet she'd be some kind of "premium DLC preorder bonus"...you know, because Square loves doing stuff like that. -___-dragonstryke58 wrote:At first, I was like "Hell yeah!"

More like Wesley Snipes... He totally looks like Blade.
Well... What can I say... I'm not impressed so far.
Hopefully it will catch my eye as time goes by and more things of it are seen, but for now I can't say I'm thrilled.
.P.S.:
FF7's remake is Squareenix's very last trump card (things must be really desperate if they decided to make it after lustrums playing dumb with us), so it's obvious that they gonna wring out every penny possible from us... And to do so they're gonna do whatever it takes....you have GOT to be kidding. Just how can they pull THIS off?
.P.S.2.:
Maybe Squareenix is not to blame here (for once), let's remember that Uematsu is not a member of Squareenix staff anymore (the man became a freelance composer by the time Sakaguchi left to create his own studio).And to do the game without Nobuo Uematsu is something that's really, really gonna piss off a lot of fans...
I for once I'm more interested in knowing who will be the composer than in worrying about "midiman" Uematsu's involvement.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake
I personally would disagree on the revival of Aerith.. If it were possible to revive Aerith, it would cheapen her sacrifice. She knew what she was doing in attempting to summon Holy, and so did Sephiroth. It's why he killed her, as she was the only one left who could do it, and sealed Holy before it could be fully awoken. Not to mention it is ment to act as a motivation to continue persuing Sephiroth.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Unless they want to alienate Aeris fans like me who solely loved the game because of her (and I know plenty of folks of all ages who agree on that one) and thought the sacrifice was needless, they won't get my money. Either way, I win (plenty of other games to buy), so I'm not going to complain (not anymore, you should've heard me 10 years ago though, LOL) about it.
Even as a gameplay aspect, I was disappointed. Getting forced to use a character replacement I didn't give a dang about was a smack in the face. :/ Really though, the game was painfully boring without her on my team. The only reason I finished the game was to get a revive quest that I hoped to exist. I'd of been happy with just a ghost/clone of her like how Agarest War (grimoires can clone old members that you liked) and Star Ocean 4 (on new game+ a character is able to be kept at the point he leaves, but isn't in any dialogue) did it.
If they want to just remake the same game with the same predictable outcome all over again in epic newgen graphics of Aeris getting stabbed in the back, I'd be bored anyway. If I'm going to buy a new remake of a game, I want a different story experience, but that's just me. I've debated too many times over the subject of Aeris, and I already know most people are pretty adamant on their views of the subject, so I'll stop here.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake
*Sits in corner sitting on a beach chair eating popcorn and drinking coca cola*
I honestly did not like Aerith at all, and I honestly liked the scene where she was killed, because that was the only way to make me feel something for a character that I absolutely hated and did not care about at all, I felt sad, (not because she had one of the highest magic stats so healing worked really well on her, I had Vincent as my healer afterwards anyway, so literally NO LOSS FOR AERITH AT ALL)
I thought they tried WAAAY too hard for you to like Aerith, and I hated her personality, and she tried way too hard to get cloud to like her to the point of me finding her obnoxious as hell, as it was clear TIfa and Cloud was the almighty ship.
I liked her more in crisis core, where she learns alot from zack and shes actually likable, but in FFVII, pffft, I was actually GLAD she died, which made me happy I WASN'T USING HER AT ALL THROUGH THE ENTIRE GAME!!!!!! so Experience saved for other, more interesting (To me) characters >:)
And I hope she dies again in the remake.
I also hate cloud, because he literally fucked Zack over because he pretty much COPIED EVERYTHING from him, took his soldier title, took his girlfriend (Aerith) and EVEN TOOK HIS FUCKING MEMORIES, if it wasn't for the charater development he goes through in advent children, I would totally go read some fanfics where Sephiroth kills the fuck out of cloud.
Favorite characters? Vincent (DIrge of cerberus did some nice development on him) Barret and Yuffie.
IM indifferent towards tifa or cid.
