The renders look phenomenal, nay immaculate, for stuff that could probably be classified as "game ready". It's too bad the actual final arcade board/PS4 can only handle the poly decimated versions, and only at 30fps in cut scenes. So close... yet the closer we get, the more the rough edges (literally) become apparent.
Looking forward to playing this late 2016 or so. The gameplay changes look really interesting so far.

If someone just posted this and called it FFVIIR, I would believe it :0

They all look good. God, now I'm praying we get more ff6 representation. Setzer, celes, Locke and the brothers would all look so good.

I hope Nomura don't go too far when redesign him lol
This one never gets old
This new Dissidia version is the closest to the OG one imho
People got too much time on their hands
please bring this game into the west. cross-compability between pc,x1,ps4, arcade would be amazing.
oh and please no DLC
lock this guy away. everything he touches will get into something with tons of zippers and belts.

I'm a bit conflicted between 'holy shit, amazing!' and yet ow-ow-ow at poor Terra's busted back pose. Bodies don't work like that. Yes, we know she has breasts, you don't have to give her chronic back pain to emphasise them.
Shiva's another cause of 'amazing!' and ???
Oh, Team Ninja.

Eliminating simplicity just for added complexity, for the sake of complexity. Instead of a metal buckle with the SOLDIER symbol, they change it to leather embroidery(which loses the shape of the symbol). Instead of belt holes, he added another belt within a belt(a smaller belt on a larger belt). Instead of one pauldron with three bolts-like spikes sticking out of it, it's pauldron on pauldron on pauldron, being fastened together with nuts and bolts. Meh for needless complexity.
Attitude-wise, yeah. Costume-wise, no.

Haven't you seen the Ramza thread? People were asking for him to be thrown into a dumpster because he added a nose to the guy.
It's just funny to shit on Nomura...
Although I do wonder what those people's reactions will be when they learn that Nomura is the director of the FFVIIR lol.

I'm already on edge about it. He was also responsible for Midgar Disc 1, which is easily one of the most boring parts of the entire game. I don't really trust him with anything.
I'm sure he was partly was responsible for a lot of parts of the game, just like every other person who worked on it. This hate on Nomura is too edgy for me.
So edgy.

What's edgy about it? I just don't trust him with the FF7 remake, but I'd love to be wrong.
Not bad, I guess. Aerith was dumb anyways.
Safe to say we'll get villains soon. Whether we get newcomer villains though is a different subject.

I've a feeling they'll announce all the main characters from each entry first then go to the side characters
This is the dumbest argument you can make against Nomura. Apart from a short-lived phase and a few characters like Lulu with her excessive belt-dress, his character designs are usually fairly simple and have very few or no belts & zippers, not to even mention he already did a decent job of re-designing even older FF characters in his own style for previous Dissidias without adding excessive number of belts & zippers into any of the designs.

Those (along with the villains) are definitely coming down the line. They already confirmed (or at least talked about) that they want to bring everyone from Dissidia here.
Probably before the console version, so unless you are in Japan thinking about going to the arcades, I wouldn't worry much on how long it'll take.

I can't wait for villains side because that's when we are going to see newcomers. Since we don't have any for FFXI, FFXIII and FFXIV.
Well, first of all Nomura wasn't responsible for FFVII's first disc. He came up with the original draft of the story with Sakaguchi and had some influence on some parts of the stories of some of the characters in the game, but other people were in more important key positions & did a lot more work on all of those aspects of the game and Toriyama, Kitase etc. changed quite a lot of the original draft, so much so that the ditched aspects were re-used in other games like Parasite Eve & FFVIII. Other than that he wasn't super involved with FFVII outside of the character & monster designs.
People usually consider the Midgar prologue of FFVII to be really good with a lot of things to like. It's linear and has its slow parts, but the linearity, slow build-up & focus on character interactions for a little while isn't really a bad thing and all-in-all it's a very strong start for the game with lots of highlights (the first ~30 minutes is a pretty exciting, meeting Aeris is quite a nice change of pace, Avalanche being framed for the destruction of one of the sectors was pretty shocking, infiltrating Shinra's building & seeing Sephiroth's handiwork was kinda eerie, escaping Midgar was pretty fun even though the gameplay during the motorcycle section is pretty janky)
You either very selectively blame Nomura for the few stuff he's done badly (or hasn't even done) or probably haven't even followed Nomura at all if you think he's a bad thing to happen to any game. It's not that he single-handedly makes everything better (games aren't made that way), rather he's the kind of person who nurtures talent & really tries to push everyone in the teams to do their best & become more involved in the making of the games they are a part of making (TWEWY isn't his handiwork per se, but he is the one who saw the potential in the game and pushed for it to become a much more significant project than it originally was). He's not perfect and has some shortcomings & misses just like any other director, but so far he has had far more at least somewhat decently successful & entertaining outings than total crapolas. He's maybe a bit too much of a perfectionist in some regards and he's perhaps not the most efficient director, but he's still an incredible creative person who is very driven to give everything he's got to everything he's a part of.

I believe it was someone mentioning that he (Nomura) was largely responsible for Midgar Disc1, which is always a chore because of how boring it is until you finally leave. Thanks for the info though!

Well, we would have 14 heroes ready on arcade release day. I would think that they are going to focus on the villains next so I would assume that they are going to add villains to the arcade roster via updates.
What I'm concerned about is when they plan to show newcomers rather than returning characters. Once the game is out next month I am seriously hoping they will balance it out by releasing veterans and newcomers together instead of one after the other.

Hope my local places get it, were still rolling tag 2 here. Though we do have Pokken and Revelator
That would be best. Getting Ramza and Sephiroth together in December would be a good amount of new post launch. Then keep getting two characters a month (or bimonthly).
Can easily see them tieing in content with games, expansions and anniversaries. Like showing Gabranth next year for XII's 10th anniversary or a new XIV character releasing alongside a new expansion.

Actually I just discovered that, that tweet was made on the 19th. What's the actual new stuff that caused the bump and first post edit?
Incredible
I edited my post because I realized what I had said and it read kind of silly. I guess what I was referring to, is that it looked like Cloud had one of those skinny without any definition whatsoever bellies.

I really like how they all have different faces (especially noticeable with Firion), instead of the usual Square Enix CG face.
The ingame PSP models did a reasonably good job of doing the same even with just 2D approximations of facial features, though these are more impressive when put up against the CG efforts from the original games, which did suffer from that. Though as great as Firion's model looks here; I kind of wish they hadn't made him as pale as they did - something closer to the Nomura art rather than his initial model would be preferable, especially in terms of differentiating him from the rest of the cast.

Well there's always the hope of alternate costumes
I'd love to see this one in particular
