Oh man... the fucking Sephiroth flashback scene in Nibelheim...
That's going be fucking terrifying.

Square made a LOT of money with Final Fantasy 15 and FF: The Record Keeper this past year. I think they have a bit of cash to burn for investments like bigger teams.

Long ago we looked up an foreboding sky.
The memory of a star that threatened all, burns eternal in our hearts.
In its wake, came an age of silence.
Yet with each fond remembrance, we knew. Those encountered were not forgotten.
That some day we would see them again. Perhaps it was no more than wishful thinking.
But after the long calm, there are now the beginnings of a stir.
The reunion at hand will bring joy. It may bring fear.
But let us embrace whatever it brings.
For they are coming back.
At last. The promise has been made.

So let's be real here:
According to a GAF post earlier today, this game has only been in development for a few months. They're shooting for 2017, which makes sense since that's the game's 20th anniversary. This is supported by the fact that, realistically, they wouldn't have pulled the PSX troll if this was in development at that time.
Therefore... the most likely origin story for this game is that, after PSX, Sony sat Squeenix down and gave what my mom would call the "come to Jesus" talk- "Look... it's time. You need to do this fucking remake. Just take this money, promise we get it first, and do it."

I can't believe this has happened. I've never been so excited for a game reveal, although TLG was close and bizarrely during the same conference!
Still shocked.

"It's gotta be a movie or something."
"REMAKE"
OHHHHHHHH
STOOLS TIPPED ELVIS HAS LEFT THE BUILDING
"THIS IS THE BEST CONFERENCE THERE'S EVER BEEN!"
Yup. My reaction. And coming directly after TLG and Horizon, there was no room to breathe.

Yeah, that poor indie game that came straight after FF7. I can't even remember the name, or the logo, or anything.

Sounds about right.
Ocarina of time already got a remake bro.

From reading this thread it's console exclusive which depending on who you ask is the same thing.

Verendus talked about this in 2013.
I sincerely doubt it's only "a few months into development". Now I wonder if we get more info @/after Square's event tomorrow.
Keep in mind- S-E hasn't had their own E3 Conference since 2006.

It is as of now. Sounds like a PC version is possible down the line but if you want to play the game in the first year I'd assume you'll need a PS4.
Also, one key thing to note. They are using pre-FFVII Compilation Buster Sword design.
This is the Compilation Buster Sword design:
And this is the original Buster Sword design, before the Compilation:
This same design is being used in Dissidia.
So, they're staying faithful to the original designs for the remake and seem to be pushing aside the Compilation, at least for this.

Yeah, what I figured but kinda weird. Probably an actual wait between the versions though this time unlike with SFV, I wonder if that was the best they could get before PC.
This is a very important note.

IIRC he meant a Square Enix crossover game.

Since we'll learn more this Winter, I guess the next time we'll hear about it will be at PSX.

hahaha, oh wow, I need to see more reactions like that.
Not direct competition and it gets them a cheaper deal than full exclusivity.
Majority of sales will be on PS4 anyway.

What does "probably" mean? Does that mean there is a chance it won't come to PC?
i'll poop on the party with my legendary skepticism before i go to bed.
i'm super cautious for that. First when you think about it, PS3 reveal had some sort of target render that was actually more advanced than that (actual characters etc..). This is purely a super vague teaser, super pretty.. No release date and a colossal 3 disc game with tons of hd towns, monsters, cinematics etc.. to redo with this quality ?
i'm not saying it's not happening, i'm saying.. i'll stay cautious. We've seen things at E3, we've seen promises, we've seen vapor.. If i hear the dev is well advanced and all, well ok. But if this is the kind of "hey guys, we've just decided to do that, we wanted to let you know, happy ?" announcement. Who knows..

Still i got some chills on the moment!
Console exclusive it sounds like. PC version probably coming later.
It pretty much is

Just saying, I liked the character designs for Advent Children. If they go with those I'm a-okay.

Hopefully we get some details tomorrow. This is inevitably going to be a massive disappointment for a lot of people depending on what direction they go with it.
