Lol what kinda of reaction did Boyes expect? How the hell could they not have seen it coming?
Yup, totally agree. This information (that they knew about the remake) just make the announcement even weirder - unless it was an intentional troll.

A friend of mine just told me something rather amusing.
"I bet if you fulfill Don Corneo's requirements for choosing Cloud in the remake, he looks like Lightning."
didn't Verendus also hint @ a Legend of Dragoon sequel?
Probably talked about, but this was interesting.
Adam Boyes, head of third-party developer relations at PlayStation, told me at E3 that hes known about Squares Final Fantasy VII remake for a year. It was a fun secret to keep.
...
Sony officials knew about the forthcoming remake for about a year, well before the notorious December announcement of the port of the PC port of the original FFVII to PS4. What was supposed to be a fun announcement about the polished PC version of the 97 PSOne classic coming to PS4 became a moment of dashed expectations. Final Fantasy producer Shinji Hashimoto at appeared on stage at the big PlayStation Experience fan event, started introducing something FFVII-related to suddenly-shocked fans... only to then reveal that he was just talking about a PC port, not the long-demanded remake. Fans in the audience seemed bummed. Teased, maybe. Trolled, perhaps. It was unintentional, Boyes said. You learn with these things.
lmao wat? there is no way they couldn't know what the reaction would be, surely?

I love itSeriously. It's like if a pharmaceutical company hyped up a new pill by suggesting it's an instant cure for cancer, then acted surprised at the backlash when they revealed that it actually alleviates hiccups.
It's OK now since we are getting the remake, but dear Lord watching that PS4 port reveal was a kick in the teeth.
He knew what he was doing.
Texas exists in FFVII's world I guess, lol.

I'm betting they are following the tracks of KH3 and using an established and 'future proof' engine like UE4.I just hope this doesn't turn into another Versus XIII
I forgot about that... These are the kind of real world details that I forgot were so mindblowing at the time this game were new.
And Korea.
There is a huge Texas on the exterior of the bar too.
I don't know what the Gold LED writing supposed to mean either. Looks like it says "Cyler"
Despite these signs the bar is called the Seventh Heaven. A shame there isn't some sort of dev diary that explains these signs.
Pls get Uematsu back square. Shower him with money. Hell spend half of the budget on him to get him back.
I wonder if they are having discussions amonst themselves about editing FFVII lore to make it more clearer, especially with Advent Children
Hope not and leave most of it intact

Should up production a lot.
Tetsuya Nomura said:Concerning Aerith, because the original FINAL FANTASY VII is an old release in 1997, I think there may be a lot of young people who will be touching it for the first time in the full remake of FINAL FANTASY VII. For such people, the question itself is a spoiler regarding Aerith. So I will not answer (laughs).
This is pretty interesting:

The following things were insane additions to JRPGs at the time:
-TVs and news media
-cars and motorcycles
-men in business suits
-neon signs
-corporations
-pinball tables and arcade games
-rock music boss battle theme
-a sex club
-skyscrapers
-machine guns
-scientists
Someone a few pages back brought up the point that XV is the only "fantasy based on reality"... But it really began with VII, and it was in a time when those additions were even more insane. I think we often forget how alien these elements were to the genre back then....
Pretty much confirms that Aerith's fate will be similar to that of FFVII. Not that people truly suspected otherwise.
How so? Nomura is not gonna say "Aerith dies in the game, sorry did i spoil a 20 year old game? Lolololol". He's a goddamn professional!
It would be like JK remaking Harry Potter to an audience that had never heard of Harry Potter, and then accidentally blurting out that Snape kills Dumbledore.
I don't think anyone should expect Nomura to be such a dick, no matter what kind of malicious thoughts they've had about his supposed handling of Versus 13
Pretty much. It's been days since the announcement and I'm still in disbelief that it's actually happening.
Edit: Wait, maybe I'm missing the point of the comic strip, which was to belittle Square Enix.

For a second I took that as him considering to change the story to appeal to potential new players, but I guess it could be interpreted any way

They shouldn't make the whole world an open world. Have large open spaces to travel, but have them stitched together. Once you reach a certain distance, just travel you to the next key area. I think there are only a couple of spots in FFVII were just plain random exploring was rewarding.
lol come on guys, they're not going to change what happens to Aerith.
The only thing they will do with the plot is slight alterations (such as incorporating elements of the FFVII compilation) but the core plot will be the same.
Subconsciously, this is why it's the best game ever.The most important detail of FF7 I find is every building has a toilet.
Such a simple thing, but it makes a world of difference.
No. No no no no no no no.
Really? I can only see a way to interpret what he said, young people will be touched because this will be the first time they'll see Aerith die.
Will Sephiroth be the main villain in this game or will Square create a new villain especially for this remake.
