Modern is fine, but people who think Turn based isn't modern are being ridiculous.
Action isn't the only way to do modern gameplay.

That's pretty much where I stand. I don't mind what they do with the combat but I sure would love to swing the Buster around in glorious HD. Closest thing I can currently get to that is Crisis Core on an emulator.

Yeah, Cloud needs to be a snarky asshole
Drown in your self pity all you want once you hit Mideel but before that he better be a sarcastic dick.

I really love how they did the trailer.
I always imagined the reveal trailer to be similar to the tech demo... showing a classic scene from the game in remade graphics, everyone loses their shit.
But to start off showing a huge city, the people going about their day, getting on trains, then the slow realisation it's FUCKING MIDGAR - really gave the impression its a huge, living, breathing, dirty city. The atmosphere was perfect. How I always imagined Midgar to be.
just....hhhnnnnnggggg

Where are you getting these numbers from? Did Dragon Quest X sell twice as much because it wasn't traditional turn-based? No, it sold a fraction as much.
Oh, but it's an MMO, so it must "not count". In that case, what about Dragon Quest Heroes, something more like what you want. Did that sell well? Sure, but it didn't crack the 1 mil barrier.

He was a snarky asshole to Barret in the beginning tho.
All about that Gil for mercenary work.
You know, something I've thought about...
What does this mean for the mod community? How simultaneously thrilled and full of despair those people have to be right now.
Creating content because they love the game so much, as they thought this would never happen, and now that it does all those years of work will probably never finish.
I really doubt anybody that's working on update or HD projects are going to continue.

The other FF7r thread with dozens and dozens of pages?
It was stated that the game has only been in development for a few months, and that the .Hack developers are making the game. It's also going to be an action rpg.
I'm hoping we get more information from SE.

I didn't get to see the news from the conferences until late last night. I wish I could have watched and freaked out with everyone.
This in particular is an amazing announcement. It's going to be a long time until we play it but who cares, it's FINALLY out there after years of insanity.
Sony conference slayed 3 of the biggest E3 ghost games: FF7 TLG and Shenmue 3. From the old school MEGATON perspective it's the great conference ever.
I hope they update the game with more of a ff13/15 active combat system. I won't mind turn based but we've done that. The combat is the only thing I truly loved about the FF13 trilogy. I would love to see Materia worked into a active battle system that's fast and strategic.
The best possible thing this and the other megaton games is that we can FINALLY MOVE THE HELL ON and never again kill threads and waste time talking about IF we might see them or get the announcement. There are a few other games like that but this was just lights out fun.
Can't fucking wait.

Please. The worst thing is that SE actually admitted to fucking up Cloud's characterization due to internet perception.
Do it right Nomura.
I saw people in here mentioning gold saucer but didn't remember what it was.
Then today after watching a video of every single summon decided to go look at some FF7 snowboarding, then It hit me... GOLD SAUCER!!

I remember the CyberConnect2 stuff. Can you find the source that stated action rpg?
If they did then it's a done deal, it's not going to be the old combat system.
We don't know but I'm hoping it's the latter. Large open environments, third person camera, seamless battles.

I wish the characters looked more anime than realistic.

Eh, the golden age of heavily-anime aesthetics being incredibly popular in the West is over. And the new designs look like a great, tasteful midpoint.

Photo-realism is the future, but I'd love it if the avatar menu profile photos were just higher quality shots of the old ones.

I feel like the people that want this to be an Action RPG are just thirsty for FFXV rather than actually wanting a Final Fantasy VII remake.
Starting a replay tonight once the daughter is fast asleep!

It's hilarious when you consider all that people that were complaining that XV was action.

In order to make this game they will have to dramatically improve the versus system and give us some if that AC fighting goodness.
I just want them to update a combat system that came out near 20 years ago.

Started the download on Steam before I went to bed, will be firing it up tonight when I get home from work. That reminds me, I need to look up the PC mods that use the higher res character models.
Ah, thought you meant another active thread.
Yeh, fully speculation.
I'm still certain it's not going to be action.

#TeamStairs or #TeamFrontDoor?
Maybe you'll be eating shorts sooner than later
Not going to happen. Feel free to save all of these posts.
I'm hoping for something in between. I don't want Midgar to be completely explorable, but it would be nice if we had more of it available to explorable.

lol - WTH is going on here?
The dark side of the force.
I hope not because that big of a change and I just might not buy it and I so want to see this in hd glory.

Cant wait to escape Midgar on motocycle and enter the world map. Or will there be a world map? (ominous music plays)
Front door every time. Then grab the elixir on the stairs later
edit - that I will then never use for the rest of the game.
