What I remember most fondly about FF7 is the supporting cast; a fully realized corporate structure. Shinra looks and operates like a real company.
Let's hope Square forgot too.You can bet your ass this Remake will pave the road for a VII-2/Post-Advent Children game.
edit: lol, I always forget fucking Dirge.
Dirge of Cerberus is the type of game that needs an action guru like Platinum at the helm.
Advent Children.
Also that remake teaser made me legit think it was a sequel and not a remake at first.

Ni no Kuni happened. It can be done.

FFVII Remake
DQXI (likely)
CONSOLE JRPG'S ARE DEAD!
.....and this is just from one company.
You and the rest of humanity.
Ahh looks like Square knows what to do. All the Action games besides New Mana are on the consoles. And all the turn based games are on a handheld.
Looks like we won't have to worry about FFVII:Remake. Since it'll be on PS4 it'll also be action.
You're going to be eating mournful bird as soon as they announce the turn based system.

Post Dirge, let's kill Genesis for reals because Zack dropped the ball a bit there. Of course then after defeating him Masamune will burst from his chest and Sephitroth will pull himself out of Genesis's corpse while One Winged Angel plays.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Pretty sure that's what he was back in 97 as well.
Also, the only thing i want from this game is a better written scenario and a solid, well defined, conclusion.
I hope they pay for and use the fan translation.

You're gonna be eating shorts when it's the furthest thing from Turn Based.

I don't see this game being turn-based, but remade with a action system similar to FFXV and Kingdom Hearts.
I really don't want Crisis Core combat... an action game where you need to scroll through your abilities? No thanks. And this wouldn't allow full party control which I don't want to give up...
But, I'm too old school... I need to accept that this won't have turn-based play. You'll control one character and the other 2 will be AI. It will have action combat. And as long as you can map materia abilities to face buttons, it could be epic.
Give it combat similar to Dragon Age Inquisition, but with Japanese flair of course, where you can switch to different characters with the touch of a button, and I'll be VERY happy with that.

I just hope they don't rewrite Cloud to be the gloomy version SE made for Advent Children and afterwards.

That's my greatest fear.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only guy on the planet that loved DoC.
I mean sure, shootybangbang but I did love that story (minus the weird Captain Planet moment towards the end)

Forget everything about Dirge except Death Penalty and Chaos' designs
Seriously those were cool.

I'm fairly certain that they're using the original script only as a reference, and create new dialogue based on that.
Why not turn-based? Persona 5 is turn-based and stylish as hell. You'd ruin the game if you take away the turnbased combat.
"furthest thing"?
That isn't going to happen. 0 Chance.
This is a remake. They know how sacred this game is.
I really hope they don't "censor" this remake. The controversial stuff that was present in the original, needs to be in the remake too.
And no change of storyline.
Please SE... Just give us a remake with stunning graphics and audio, and the same story and great gameplay we loved from the original!
Don't reinvent what works!

Barret looks much improved.
This is my only real fear as well. I thought Advent Children was fun as fuck, but AC Cloud is basically an internet parody of the character.

This is where I want Square to go all out. I love FFVII, but even back then I thought the synth used sounded bad in comparison to other games of the time. Use high quality synth and even real instruments on some tracks. Cosmo Canyon, arrange it with real Native American instruments being played. And hell, Still More Fighting better be an arranged version of the Black Mages take. That one sounds exactly how I would've imagined the song, if played by real instruments.
So, it's like FFVII. Good to see somethings don't change!It's a little bit weird to see so many duplicate NPCs in a short trailer like this. The guy I circled in red shows up 3 times in 30 seconds.
I think that sort of thinking leads to problems if applied to everything. Look at it this way, many people want this game to be more ARPG, but look at what Nomura tried to accomplish for Versus and failed. He wanted more KH-styled gameplay, which didn't work. He wanted swappable playable characters, which also didn't work. And hell, even when Nomura left Versus/XV, Tabata and crew are STILL tweaking the gameplay. People realistically want a FFVII remake, and it to be released in a short amount of time(2017, which WOULD be short), but if they want all the bells and whistles they claim, the amount of programming it would take to consider an open-world ARPG with focus on gameplay physics and environment rather than a more contained classic style would no doubt result in a longer dev time.
And personally speaking, if it means a classic turn-based system within separated battle fields per encounter(like FFXIII games have done not so long ago), maybe with a tweak and polished battle system(more faster), if that allows FULL CONTROL of the party, allows the game to take control over the camera for choice situations) and the devs control over resources to the point the game could be released in a shorter amount of time WHILE being LESS buggy, so fuckin' be it. I take that over a full reenvisioned ARPG where you ONLY take control of Cloud, every other person is AI-driven, battles happen and the camera goes apeshit crazy and with all that in consideration, the MORE programming and glitch fixing that comes with that and delay after delay. Just get the fuckin game out. People gotta understand, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
I still can't get over the masterful trolling.
First the FFVII port announcement at PSX.
Then at e3, start talking up FF... and it's some chibi game that shows Cloud at the start to get our hopes up for 0.5 seconds to dash them again
CROWD: you fucking trolls you did it again FUCK YOU NEVER AGAIN SE
SONY: Oh lols guys by the way FF7 REMAKE

While I don't agree with your opinion, "FULL REMAKE" does actually opens a lot of possible scenarios.

It really needs to be posted in the thread title that the game will be an action rpg, according to the other thread with the leak info.
Personally, I want turn based, but whatever. We're getting a remake, and that's all I care for.
Seeing Golden Saucer and Nibelheim will make me explode.

Normally I'd say I also want turn based but the thought of hacking stuff up with a buster sword is enticing
I am ok with change as long as it's done right

I remember enjoying it... I just don't fully remember it.
I kind of just blew through it and I think I GameShark'd it because I was really only interested in the story.
Some of new character designs were really bad, though... like, the epitome of Nomura's belt/zipper meme days.
Loved Hamauzu's music, though.
Man, that guy deserves to solo compose a legitimately great FF. Dirge and XIII don't cut it.

It's not authentic to the original game's experience, which is ATB.
They'll announce it long before that, don't worry.
Please be turn based, please be turn based, please be turn based, please be turn based.
There isn't a single real time RPG combat system I've liked. They're all half-assed movement and animation. FF13-3 was atrocious. Either make it turn based, or go full on action RPG, but leave the real time gimped systems out of it.

Other thread?
Based Cid! My team of Cloud, Tifa, and Cid will look awesome if that's the menu aesthetic they go with.
Figuring out an entirely new action-based combat system is much more complex and will take longer. But at the same time, an ATB system is most likely not gonna appeal to as many people as a hectic action system would.
Difficult decision, I'm curious as to what they'll decide on.
