Hopefully they're aiming for 2017. That would be FF7's 20th Anniversary.

Was this also when it turned from Versus 13 to 15? Because dropping the 13 name from the title was a selling point for that game, in my opinion

Regarding combat, they should update the tutorial text for this boss fight with the Hashimoto gif too:
I think they're just soldiers, which is fine, it's the realism art style from Advent Children. No doubt people will complain that the art style isn't the same as the original, but that just wouldn't work for a modern remake.
Same way the Lord of the Rings films made so many departures from the books. It was better for that interpretation. The originals are still intact for enjoyment, nothing is being replaced here, it's just a second way for people to enjoy a fantastic story/game.

The red goggles lead me to believe they definitely might be Shinra troops; maybe President Shinra's direct special force unit?

RE REmake introduced crimson heads and defensive items, but no complete change. I dont think a remake has even completely changed it's mechanics.
YES. I'm just here for the ride.

maybe it will bring back a much more older audience. FF fan groups are filled with people born after FF7 was even released. If anything let it bring back the fan base it once had.
They had to do something, am I right?
A reason to get back into video games. They haven't forgotten everyone.
I love FF, but some people don't treat it like Disney or Bugs Bunny either.
More Kitase than anyone. It's a damn shame the man has essentially retired (i.e. producer).

I believe the Lunar remake on PSP was significantly different from the original game.
Yeah, goggles and the shoulder armor giving it away.

FF7 was a gigantic game, how the hell are they going to remake this? This will be multi disc blu Ray release with a crazy high budget
I can't fathom it

Maybe it's a dig at Hajime Tabata for the disgrace that is The 3rd Birthday.
The real Aya Brea lives! She was warped to FFVII's universe after the random SWAT attack.
The reaction videos are great.
FF15 is going to be big and it's not going to be more than 1 Blu-ray.

Not exactly recent but the Tales of Phantasia Narikiri Dungeon remake went from a turn based system to one of the best iterations of the series trademark LMBS with a job system added.
Also Tales of Destiny went from this

to this

Maybe in that case you couldn't say it was a complete change but its still an evolution of the battle system based on the most recent games in it's series. So if the FF7 remake followed that pattern it would follow up on the recent games and not what it was back then.

Those need to be posted in the OP. I hope there is more, I've seen quite a few already though.

I don't blame him. I have to imagine the Producer (and Exec Producer) role is a bit more comfortable.
The guy absolutely busted his ass directing FFVI, VII, and VIII - and if my memory is correct, it took a toll on his health.
I do hope he gets back in the Director's chair again, but I won't be surprised if he never does.

Don't worry, those series of posts should have pretty much sealed his fate.

If that's what they meant then lol, because Japan is not much of a market compared to the US

They should totally do a commercial targeting salary men who have left gaming due to adulthood. Pile on the nostalgia. Have an ad that starts with a kid playing FFVII on a PS1. 20 years later this kid is now a salary man with a family, tired and spending too much time at work. One day he steps off the train and sees an advertisement for VIIR. Next scene has him enjoying the game, with his young children at home. Have lots of narration about going back to a better, enjoyable time.

I never read about the health thing but yeah Kitase originally didn't even want to direct video games, he wanted to be a film editor.

No because even after the name change they still talked about how it was supposed to have a similar feel and essentially be an evolution of KH gameplay. Not sure when the switch actually happened but they didn't mention it until almost 2 years after the name change/
Are these the guys Sephiroth butchers?
I dont even remember them.
Except for I guess Hojo in the back there?
Palmer and Reeve are on the far right.

Maybe the catch for this remake is that it's actually a trilogy! One game separated into 3. To be released every year for three years!That's how they're going to meet the 2017 deadline!
#BadIdeasThatYouDontwantsetohear
I have to keep toning down my enthusiasm because SE might disappoint so I keep coming uo with possible ways that they can screw up, in the spirit of anticipating for the worse. And I'm not even as enthusiastic as most of you guys. I didn't cry nor scream out loud
Because they expert to sell zillions
Thank you.
Action combat for FF7...Fuck that.
I will try it out for FF XV, but keep it out of my FF VII.

I see it now. They are just lacking the helmets. Though, seeing them, they look like a cross between Shinra MP and Corneo's lackeys:The red goggles lead me to believe they definitely might be Shinra troops; maybe President Shinra's direct special force unit?
One thing I hope is that they aren't above in including some of the more stranger monsters in the FFVII universe. Stuff like the Ghirofelgo, Hungry, Ghost Ship, Devil Ride, those Russian egg dolls and evil Jokers that ride on spinning card platforms.

President Shinra, Scarlett, Heidegger, Hojo, Palmer, Reeve.

The speculation is that this is one of the three games that CyberConnect2 said that they were working on. They described one game as
- UE4
- RPG
- Large scale development
- Developed for a worldwide audience
- Photorealistic
- Physical based rendering
This is correct.
