This is very surreal. After all the false hope and cashing in on the ff7 name with spin offs it's strange to see it actually happening. Can't wait to see some in game footage
 
I hope they dont mess this up. Sometimes its better to not remake a game.
 
SQUARE ENIX BROKE THE INTERNET. This is like the most awaited remake in the world (Even though I am the VIII guy I'd definitely buy a PS4 and this would be my first game).
 
I know it's only a video, but Midgar looks amazing. Seeing as Nomura has creative control though I guess we'll be treated to more of host club Cloud and hip hop Barret.
 
All I can say is I hope it is good, I was reading that it says "Play it first on PS4". Perhaps it will come to PC, and then it can be modded.

Still, I still have a non-reaction. xD. I guess it is just sinking in.
 
My jury's going to be out on this one for a while. I completely agree it needed a remake, but unless they add lots of new content it's going to feel short and small next to legit 80+ hour JRPGs. The WR for FFVII without the Yuffie Glitch is under 7 hours. Yes, that is literally blazing through and weeks of optimizing segments, but still a short game.
 
L.Spiro has shine through already that they are working on something great he can't tell us.

I dislike the decision to use the AC or Dessidia 2015 style. I hope they will use the old camera style to keep a little bit the feeling of the original at last but as I knew Japanese devs they will go insane create a super 3rd person action game...

My fear is that they will split the game into three. There is simply to less time until 2017 for the whole game and it's the best way to milk the fans.

If it does then I could care less tbh, not interested in modding a perfectly fine current gen good looking game. The original FF7 definitely needed mods but this? Not really so still getting it for ps4 can't wait

I could imagine that a part of the fans isn't pleased how SE is changing the story again and making the game to another Flat Fantasy title.
So a 'back to the roots' mod seems probably as a good idea.

Soooooo you're afraid they'll do something they've already done?

This will be dogstrawberries, I promise you.  My call is 100% linear gameplay, the return of whiny emo-kid Advent Children Cloud (as opposed to original FF7 crazy Cloud), tie-ins to all the sequels merchandising commercials, super-serious lame-ass voiceovers, no profanity, no on-screen violent deaths of main characters (this seems like an insane call given that Aeris died with a freaking FMV, but nonetheless I'm calling it - and if you need a spoiler tag for that I will beat you), and it will be the most profitable game since the last strawberries-show Square Enix released.  At this point it's all about graphics and the brand, nobody actually cares about the gameplay, the story, or the world-building.

It will be the gayest (gay as in lame) thing the world has ever seen.

Unfortunately, I have to agree.  They'll butcher it with needless silly matrixesque stunts and probably shoe horn characters from the rest of the franchise.  It will be interesting to see how their localization compares to ours, at least.  I've been hoping since the merger that they never get round to it, especially after hearing what Kitase et al keep saying about graphics and time (which is why I am surprised they have even started).  They're already using the crap AC-type stuff.  I can't see them maintaining the original structure at all.

The good news is, the original game will always be here - untouched by their needless meddling.  I'm sorry I am so negative on the issue, but it's really hard to get excited given the incompetence at Square these days, and the fact fans are already running around behaving exactly as Square desires. Square know they can rush out a slapdash game and it will sell like hotcakes, and that is never a good thing if you want to see effort put in.

I think personally that the voice speaking is directly pointed at us and completely unrelated to the game. It is a non universe voice so its either aimed at us or possibly an unrelated character re-telling the story to someone. That could even open up a new idea for another sequel depending on who he is and how he's tied in or what he has been doing during it. PS his voice is Jiraiya from naruto. In my books another personal win. Thats epic :D
 
i really hope this will be what we want from a remake BUT i know they will ruin it
don't really care i am getting it no matter what thought

so yeah that's my take please don't be negative people have some faith maybe just maybe

also that is the original buster sword but WHYYY what about CC so it never happened or what

any ideas?
 
The worst part won't be however they remake the game but the fanatics that will surge in number.  You think "this is the best FF" elitism is bad now? Hah. It'll be opinion and troll apocalypse when it's out.

I expect mostly DLC stuff to make an apperance. Yuffie and Vincent get cut and implemented as DLC, there'll maybe be a bestiary, more achievements, maybe a new special mode in the arena (Bare bones, lots of DLC battles), optional side characters that just show up in battle (DLC) some 1-2 new super bosses (DLC) and maybe even a new dungeon (DLC)

Because no matter how hard they muck this up, how hard they milk it with DLC, the fanatics will buy it all up. Even if each new character (battle only) costs 14,99$ (lets assume 19,99$ for vincent and another 19,99$ for yuffie) and the other stuff also ranges around 10$ each (new dungeon obviously 19,99$) they will gobble it up. All up. With a big spoon. Cramming it down their own throat until they can't even breathe anymore.

The game itself I just expect a lot of 'modernized' changes. Voice acting, 'updated' personalities, (Removal of Barret and Yuffie date scenes), A teleport function of some kind, (Removal of the old or made from scratch 'new' minigames in the gold saucer), Removal / Made From Scratch Condor minigame, Removal of cross-dressing scenes, Combat alterations to make it more 'modern' such as giving it a FF10-2 combat system, and a few other things.
 
Do they even allow VA to be disabled in the options with any of the FFs?  Or are you forced to put up with it?  I can imagine FF7 faring really badly with voice acting - part of the charm with the original is that you imagine what they'll sound like and I really don't think the game will take well to voices.
 
You could always mute the game entirely and put on the OST via CDs
Otherwise, you're out of luck, final fantasy games generally don't let you mute voice acting.
Also, unskippable cutscenes that are now 5x as long as before because textboxes are gone and it's all spoken dialogue.

Lifestream sequence? A 2 hour movie.

You have missed the snowboard minigame for mobile...  :evil:

At the time I only can wait and see how good FFXV will be after that I make my prediction. For me is Kitase and Nomura not a good news, even if they have a high part in FF7's development. Statements which say that they are proud how well all the FF7 games do work together let me shiver.
 
I wish you were wrong, but I am almost certain you're be right.  The designers have no idea what made FF7 good in the first place, so trying to "remake" it is a no-go.  You can see already from that one scene where this is all going.  The irony is the game would be better received, easier to make, and better overall if they just stuck to the original game and updated the engine, translation, prerendered graphics and difficulty.  But no.  Let's have full 3d, voice acting, huge cutscenes and totally lose the charm and grit that the original had.  They might keep the ATB system but that's a big MIGHT.  From reading around seems most suckers out there actually want to have crappy slash slash IQ level 1 game play.

Wo wo wo ! They never said they would go as far as remaking the localization !  :evil:

More seriously, judging from the trailer, they seem to remake a good part of the narration, which is good IMO. As said, the old version will still be there and if they are going for a remake, it's better if they remake more.
Plus, there is indeed the lifetime issue that NFITC1 pointed. I guess you would still have a "makou reactor portion", a "Shinra portion", a "Temple of the ancients" portion... but they would be totally different in the details.

At least that's what I hope, but I'm not an hard-core fan of FF7 so my point of view is surely missing things.
 
Yes, I'll echo some sentiments here. Quite worried about this, I was hoping FF7 remake wouldn't be announced until after FF15 at least. This is too early for me, I was more than happy with just FO4 and Shenmue III. I just hope it doesn't become "Advent Children: The Game" in terms of visual style.. they should be looking to the original as much as possible.
