Nomura's Final Fantasy VII is another of the FFs that switches character proportions as it pleases. VI, VIII, IX, X, (I assume XI), and XII keep consistent character proportions regardless of battle, walking, or CG*; and is something I prefer.El Papa said:
*Well, other than the CG added to FF VI several years later for PS1.

It's a safe assumption. Like XII, the characters just whip out their weapons and fight, and since the cutscenes are almost entirely real-time, the same models are used there as well.JoshuaJSlone said:

As opposed to the entirely different route they took with the original 2D graphics.AnimeTheme said:

Sorry, I had to direct some traffic to DQIV. This game is indeed incredibly but I hope it doesn't completely overshadow poor DQIV on NeoGAF.TekunoRobby said:

I find it to be a great coincidence that I bought FFIVa a week before this was announced. I'm now holding off on FFV/VIa just in case.

A portable remake of FFIV with 3D graphics and a host of extra options is awesome.SomeDude said:

it looks like that onyx demo of what FFVII was supposed to be like on hte N64 or whatever that was. that's pretty cool in a "what could have been" kind of way.
i hope they go ahead and remake FFV and VI too, but i guess by then the DS will be phased out by its successor. as long as this sells like FF3 DS i'm sure the other remakes are inevitable though

It seems there's less than a year and half between IIIDS and IVDS, so if the next two followed suit they could all be out by mid 2010.Tyrone Slothrop said:

Don't worry, it will. People here care little about DQ itself, only about how DQ will affect the platform it's on. Just take compare the threads for DQ4 DS and FF4 DS that were just made today.
Bitter? Maybe.

I am buying this one day one.
Good luck with that one.TekunoRobby said:Sorry, I had to direct some traffic to DQIV. This game is indeed incredibly but I hope it doesn't completely overshadow poor DQIV on NeoGAF.
Better gameplay, better characters, probably about equal music, though DQ uses its music better by having five battle and five overworld themes. In spite of this, FFIV will win because it has "Final Fantasy" in the title and because people apparently hate (fully) turn-based battles or something. Antiquated, they say, as I ponder how they feel about chess, checkers, and poker.FortNinety

Wow! And I was so close to getting the GBA edition just last night. Guess it pays to wait...
Though maybe I should just get VI instead.

The hilarious thing about this is how someone was looking at the FFT A2 versions of Vaan and Penelo and saying that they looked better than the versions in XII.
But yeah... SD kids? Compared to the original FFVI? It's an old-school game with surreal Amano character designs -- do people actually want super-realistically proportioned character models like, say, FFVIII? Not really in keeping with the game, in this case.
If Square Enix does a DS remake of FFX and turns Tidus and Auron into SD models, you can gripe. Until then... this is the way FFIV, FFV, and FFVI were made originally, so just deal with it. It has nothing to do with the hardware.

Nah, some people still care about DQ.

I imagine Matrix will continually get more proficient at their work on the system, and they're probably reusing the same engine and just making enhancements to it as they go. It may or may not continue to go faster as they complete each game.
SomeDude said:
They've done quite a few ports of the older games, but this is the first time they've made a concerted effort to do serious, overhauling remakes of the old FF games. I'm not going to complain until they start botching these, which they haven't done yet.
I am pretty eager to see what they do with IV considering the remarks Tokita made about how they only used about 25% of the script in the original game and they intend to significantly expand the story in the remake with some of the stuff they had to cut.

Because of hardware limitations, yes. I remember Sakaguchi saying it back in 1992 around FFV's release. They could have made them tall and thin, ala Phantasy Star, but the big problem came in the battle graphics, so they decided just to stick with SD.
Amano's original designs always dealt with realistically proportioned (artistic flair aside) characters- and unlike his role in later FF's, he actually worked very closely w/ Sakaguchi to specifically design these characters and aspects of the worlds.
Absolutely. I'm actually very, very excited about this remake.
Is it too much to hope for some new Uematsu tracks for this? Slim to none, I know, but one can dream.
The 3D models in the game are an evolution of the original SD sprite work. It's a cross between this:
and this:
It looks great.
And no, Amano's original designs were not realistically proportioned. They often had elaborate clothing and indefinite edges which made imagining them as 3D models difficult. SE has a done a great job reimagining them for this remake.

That is freaking hot, I wish all remakes were like this.
Sticking more with the original script and vision of the storyline by re-adding the stuff that was removed the first time around. If they only used 25% of the original script, I can't even imagine how the story would be expanded if they went with 50% or 75% of the script.
Hcoregamer00 said:
Yeah seriously this is the most intriguing part of the game for me. I really want to know how much of that 75% is being used cause it could really make it a completely different game. And whats more is that if, or rather when, they remake V and VI, if they had a similar situation as IV and will add more of the original script to them as well.

I'd imagine that some of the taken out part has to do with the
Who knows what else they could add or removed!
dark crystals already taken by Golbeza when you get underground.

One of the problems with the early SFC games was the memory limitations limiting text that could be stored (if I remember correct FF IV was only 4Mbit) I would venture to guess the NPCs will have more to say, there may be sidequest scenarios which flesh out some of the plotlines better and the rest will be told in the in-game and movie cinematics which the original didn't have.
I wouldn't expect an entirely new game woven inside the existing structure, though I am hoping for a lot of new content.
