2022. But it'll be impressive that it comes out only 2 years after KH3.

Omg idk, Nomura has such style and vision, he's the sensitive artist type. But then there's Tabata, who's such an efficient hard-worker. He knows how to get shit done.
I just can't do it!! XD
The right choice:

I adore the game nd I still think this is stupid lol.Moar roses
Nomura gonna Change the flowers In the church to roses to troll
Eh there is definitely some who just don't like Nomura in general (dislike his character designs and/or KH) but in this thread and others this year a lot are the biggest XV fans. And in XV threads I've seen unfair and not based on accurate info shots taken at him by regulars.

I feel like we'll just have to agree to disagree here it hasn't been some one sided thing like you seem to have only saw.
I know it's not black and white but I would say the majority of XV fans have/do. But let's agree to disagree.

I knew it was a joke immediately since it had so much info. They're not giving us substantial info on VII:R until FFXV has been out for a bit.
I absolutely agree. A lot of FFXV diehards are tired of the Versus talk and Nomura's vision for the game so they've been taking potshots at him. I can't say I'm THAT impressed by Tabata and his team just yet either. I need to finally play the game first before that to see if he's leveled up compared to his previous titles (Type-0, Crisis Core)
That's not to say FFXV doesn't look promising and really good though. I mean, the recent Eurogamer video has beyond hyped for it but my main issue is whether the story comes together.

I think it being a trilogy is a presumption.
Just from being episodic it's clearly at least 3 parts.

FFVIIR is being split into multiple games. Don't know where they got 3 titles from since it hasn't been confirmed how many it's going to be.

He has to have a young boy in all his stories. We are getting a fucking Denzel chapter, aren't we? Denzel is likely going to be retconned in there as some kind of eavesdropper while AVALANCHE are planning their attack on the Mako reactor.
Please, no.
Slaaaaay.
Anyways, I think it's safe to assume that development for this game doesn't start before the release date is announced. There is no reason to be upset.
Interesting.
edit: lol I knew there was a reason it reminded me so much of Versus XIII.

So was lack of Versus shit more Nomura than Square? Obviously the company may be restricting things, but the language here is so familiar.
Some folks here would say it's purely Square but I firmly believe it's both.

No it is not =(
They're trying to turn ff7 into something it isn't. All future FF games are going to be action based. You have FFXV soon if you want an action game. The point of the ff7 reboot is to give players who never played the game a chance to see it with current gen hardware. The spirit of the game is being sucked out of it with this change. I miss ATB but I get that gamers are becoming increasingly impatient and need to be constantly mashing buttons, but they could have done what ff7 did originally: have a toggle for "wait" and "active" modes for ATB.

Yeah, they're just talking about the FIRST 3 parts. Oh and btw, KH3 is postponed indefinitely and instead please look forward to 2018 when they're gonna announce a teaser for KH 2.9!

Ishimoto would be perfect for the job.
I hope they'd at least release the first "episode" next year.
As much as I would miss the turn-based combat, I'm somewhat surprisingly glad to hear that the combat will definitely be leaning more towards action. Good, of course, that they're still planning to accommodate a wider audience in that regard.

LOOOOOOL, you got me good, Ganon. I was about to make another silly joke about how history is repeating and how much FFVIIR sounds to be the new Versus, right down to the talk about getting rid of uncontrollable cutscenes and less difference between the high- and low-quality models. Funniest thing is is, I was actually thinking "Hm, what he's saying sounds really good! More dynamic cutscenes, more natural voice recordings. I wonder what he meant with the 'new kind of system'. If I hadn't seen Plywood's post I would believed it and probably quoted this interview in the future, haha.
Well done, man

I dunno. Maybe he means instead of Cloud jumping forward, attacking and then retreating, he's doing all back flips and shit? Maybe your characters are constantly moving rather than waiting in a line?
It could be the presentation he's referring to, rather than how it controls?

Ready for this in 2022.
That was never their intention (and rightly so), so better to accept that now or just stop following the game.Not liking the sound of no Active Time Battle system. I don't want an action based FFVII, I want a graphical update of the original game
But speaking with Engadget, Nomura has said a 1:1 remake is unnecessary.
The original is out again: the HD PC version is coming to PS4 already. We dont need two of the same thing, he said.
Even if we beautified and upgraded the visuals something thats bound to happen. If its a full remake, then of course, we want to take a different approach. If we actually just upgraded the visuals thered be no need for me to direct it.
If we take everything literally the same, were turning into the HD port again.

Regarding the battle-system:
Nomura has repeatedly refused to be drawn on what might change (although he has hinted the Honey Bee Inn section will remain, along with other light-hearted moments) but said he wont do anything too drastic like switching genders, for example, and his colleagues are keen to retain as much of the originals spirit as possible.
That said, its extremely unlikely the combat of the original will be retained.
We cant have these upgraded, beautiful 3D models of Cloud and Barrett, still lining up in a row, jumping forward to attack an enemy, then jumping back to wait for their next turn, Nomura said.
That would be bizarre. Of course there will likely be changes there.

Nomura: Cloud rewritten for FF7Remake to be more 'brooding'; Most lines in script replaced with "sou desu ne..."
they never stated it'll be 3 games though, its probably more than likely to be like that, with a best case scenario to be 2 parts
i'm expecting it'll be divided like this
Part 1 - goes all the way to the boat ride in junon
Part 2 - goes all the way to northern crater
Part 3 - rest of the game

but after northern crater there is only the final dungeon. i don't think it would work to have an entire game based on a single dungeon.
imo it'll be 2 parts split at the Midgar escape.
That would be a very uneven split. Midgar is only a third of the first CD or so. Part 2 would have to have the WHOLE rest of the world. There would be many years between the two episodes this way. Pretty sure it'll be 3 parts.

I choose the one who will release a game in this decade ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Omg idk, Nomura has such style and vision, he's the sensitive artist type. But then there's Tabata, who's such an efficient hard-worker. He knows how to get shit done.
I just can't do it!! XD
i'm talking about the first time you go to the northern crater, after that you have the escape from junon, mideel, the whole huge materia stuff, clouds psyche, submarine and depths exploration, space, WEAPON fights, attack on midgar, maybe even put something for the forest of the ancients, final dungeon, or whatever you want to put more in there, its not just final dungeon

Please God yes
Come on, now that's delusional^^ Development started in 2013 and one of the reasons they're splitting it up into several full $60 games is so that they can fully realize it without condensing heavily to fit into one game and so people can get their hands on parts of it much earlier.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is a multi-part series. Please tell us more about this decision.
Kitase: The idea that a remake of Final Fantasy VII would not fit into a single release was there from the very beginning. We still cant share more information about its multiple parts, but please look forward to future announcements.
Nomura: If we dedicated our time to a single release, parts of it would become condensed. Wed have to cut some parts, and additional parts would come in few, so rather than remake the game as a full volume, we decided to do multiple parts.
Kitase: As you can see in the trailer, we showed Sector 1 and Sector 8, but in those areas alone, I think you can see a lot of density. When youre remaking the entirety of the original version in that quality, its not possible to fit it all in one release.

Guys, don't put so much into the wording in a translated interview. The way Japanese works, that might as well have actually been him saying that "we're trying to create a battle system that will satisfy older fans as well".

Nomura has been copy-paste-ing this answer in every interview for every game he worked on for the last 10 years.
