Its what we fans wanted for years. Its hardly a waste of resources.
Me either, but if it isn't menu-based combat I'll lose my shit! Lol
People prefer the older games because they DON'T play like XII, XIII, XV, etc.
So it seems the community is already pretty divided on what a FF7 remake should be in terms of the battle system... I wonder if SE will go for action and draw in a bigger crowd, but risk dissapoining the more hardcore FF fanbase. I'm indifferent, perhaps leaning more towards action.

I think he's full of shit, but I wouldn't mind seeing people tarred and feathered for blaspheming FF7.
Presumably KH 3 is almost done, so I could see all resources devoted to REMAKE.

I think it would be super neat if they offered 2 combat modes for the FF7 remake, the classic combat system, and maybe something like FF12 or Crisis Core where it's like semi real time.
Honestly the only things I don't want them to change are the story, the characterizations, the music and the visual aesthetic, if they want to fuck with the gameplay then go for it.
Crisis core had the FF7 aesthetic down while maintaining it's own identity, so as long as shinra troops still look like shinra troops and midgar looks like midgar, I'm down for whatever.

No but I mean if they will use that version of the building or similar there is room enough in the manor for the ff7 type of combat dont you think
Compared to the trite they have been releasing the last decade or so I don't see how it's a waste, even if the only thing good to come out of it is to remind Square Enix what made their games great to begin with. Their stock price agrees.

i remember Nomura saying in older interviews that he would really love to work on a remake, but its not up to him.
Maybe this is his dream project
I wonder who is now his favorite Character - Noctis or Cloud

Eh.... I will take it. If they are going out, they better go out with a bang.

If this means I can do the minigame without getting my ass out of Junon then yes, please
I used to summon Knights Of The Round sometimes just because I wanted go to the bathroom without pausing the battle. It was very useful. I don't want them to change that.
Wtf is this crap? Go play something else if you don't want turn based.

I'm a little pessimistic even with Nomura's involvement.
-UE4 and not Luminous
-Currently outsourced
-If the 20th anniversary thing is true then that would be just over 2 years dev time?
I would expect a lot of cuts and because its outsourced UE4 and not internal Luminous I'm not aniticpating the same levels of production values as seen in XV. (Animations, lighting system, day/night cycle, weather systems, large environments etc...).
Suppose that's a little pessimistic, but I want to keep my expectations much lower than usual. A butchered or watered down remake would kill me!

I honestly think the bigger question is X1 release or not. I think PC is a given considering what SE's been doing recently. They've got that game streaming thing, so they pretty much have to have a PC port in order to do that, and they might as well release it at that point. That's why we've been getting a lot of other PC ports.
You don't like RTS in your RPG and is there to suck up your money a few hours of your time?
Speak for yourself.
I have a PS4 and an Xbox One.
I'm an audience for this on Xbox. I want the achievements.

This thread is full of horrifying ideas to 'improve' the game. Jesus, if it was down to some of you lot, they may as well call it FF16 starring Cloud and be done with it.
No random battles? Fuck that.
No turn based combat? Fuck that.
These are staples of the game and the series. It's bad enough they are not in the more recent games, you don't remove them from a remake of a classic, then it's just another game. It NEEDS to be the same game, with reworked assets, nice new cutscenes and slightly updated story. Slightly to give it some extra angles, not to butcher what it was.
I hope, really fucking hope they understand this, and don't listed to all you quick fire shooter 'no one wants old style of play anymore' people that resulted in the ruination of the more recent entries.
This statement makes me legit angry. You don't like them on consoles? Take a ride then. You don't get to call that.

Seriously? It's been in development for three years?

Do you have some information about it?
Oh shit~
You've just opened the floodgate. All those memories are coming back to me.
That would be awful.
Or they could just get rid of that and all those tedious minigames that add nothing to the game (that weird submarine chase that does nothing, for example, I would also be fine with the snowboarding segment gone because it was dumb but I bet most will disagree) but I'm sure I'm in the minority with that.

Skippable summons would be nice.

Final Fantasy V and VI be like.
lol.
Except the difference is that Fredo deserved to be passed over unlike FFV and especially VI.
No. I want to play FFVII with a combat system that isn't complete crap on the big tv.
Turn based only works on handhelds now.
Don't worry if you want the old turn based combat, you should play the PS1 version.

I'm kind of curious which project Nomura is directing has the priority for square at this point, Ofcourse they're going to put out XV first but I mean after that. Seeing as he is directing both Kingdom Hearts 3 and FF7 Remake, Both should be very important and both should still be ways off. They announced KH3 first so you'd think that has priority but people have been waiting longer for FF7.

If it's a financial success it won't be a waste of resources.

As someone who only experienced FF7 by watching a friend playing it through completely when I was 10, should I go and play it on my own now?
Mendax
Member
yes, why not. the remake is at least 2 years away. it will all be fresh again by then
Wow. were you also one of the 20,000 people who bought type-0?
good for you guys.
This doesn't make any sense.
The irony is a little hilarious. People have been complaining about the downfall of FF but now want to strip the FF7 remake of some of it's iconic features.
Say what now? I just played FFX HD on the big screen, which is a turn-based RPG and it was fantastic.
If it doesn't use ATB then it won't be FFVII anymore.

Those dumb mini games are part of what makes the whole so charming. Just like the dumb arcade machines, dumb bike section, dumb chicken racing and all the other unrequired mini games, that instead of just having a cut scene, effort was made to make them playable, or exist at all.
I don't think I can handle this thread

So many questions! What type of camera will they use? If the camera can be freely controlled will we at least have the possibility to have the camera "set" to the original game? Will we have chibi models outside of combat etc. etc.

kingdom Hearts is basically in Yasues hands at this moment - he even said in an interview, that even after nomura loosing his director postition on FF15, his work rate towards KH3 didn't change
I could image both Kh3 and FF7 releasing in 2017
