Final Fantasy 7 Remake: Chunk 1 (CyberConnect2, UE4) Trailer, "PS4 Console Debut"
- Thread starter MayMay
- Start date
Would like to know what consoles this for, want this on Xbox so bad. Footage looks incredible, but you can tell it is in early development. All Midgar footage in the first 3 hours of the game. Can't wait for release but I would say la te 2017 at the earliest.
Tell us more.

Bombing mission demo will totally be packed in with FFXV. Probably why the game looks as far along as it does (I expect the rest of the game isn't as developed). Looking forward to it 
This looks amazing. It seems weird though, not like Final Fantasy 7 with the voices and the detailed environments. I'm not saying bad though just weird like seeing things from a different perspective.
In combat it looks like two characters are able to attack at the same time, that doesnt seem to gell with the turn based nature of the original. But I dont mind.

Beau Billingslea (Barret) is an actual quality VA. I think the problem with Square's English localizations has been the direction of the voice actors.
You don't remember the beginning of the game? That's... Odd
Seriously?
I guess it would explain why it's going at such a good pace
We're thinking it's CyberConnect2, but it's not 100% clear yet.

My cousin just asked if this is coming to Xbox One. Has it been announced for anything else yet?

That looks way better than I expected. Looks like a lot of effort has gone into it.
Wowie wow wow, It's exactly like I wanted graphically. Action rpg I can manage, especially if it lets you control specific characters (Cid FTW)
Biggs, Wedge & Jesse They have faces, voices, and personalities now...
Really hoping they have a large section of Midgar to traverse through.

Um, not really? Action games and action RPGs sell much more than turn based RPGs. To most people (ie the entire gaming audience) games where you have to sit around and wait for things are very boring.
Just because you enjoy slower paced combat (I do as well), it doesn't make us not a small minority.
It's console debut, so it probably will later on.
I wasn't ready ;-;

Looks cool. I just hope it still has its RPG roots with town and houses. I dont want an action game entirely.
Like how its still kinda cartony too.

Must have played the bootleg featuring Claude Stifle and Bare-It Willis, who bear close to zero resemblance to Cloud and Barret.
I dunno.

Well, this isn't any insider teasing or anything, it's just that since it was announced there's been word going around that it's one of the UE4 games CC2 is developing for the PS4. The reasons why the rumor gained traction is basically:
a) S-E Japan really doesn't have the resources to make another AAA game of this sort while they're already committed to FFXV and KH3, with FFXIV and DQX still running. The logistics don't check out.
b) CC2 worked with S-E on the FFVII G-Bike mobile game, and both CC2 and S-E staff have expressed interested in working together further.
c) Nomura is apparently a big fan of the studio and their ability to make great looking action games.

There's like no backlash in here. Don't tell me I'm the only one incredibly pissed about this?
Modders, does it look possible to mod this back to ATB if it gets a PC release?

Makes sense, I do seem to remember a thread about them hiring people with UE4 experience for a JRPG project.

It looks ok. I expected it to be different obviously but now that I see it I feeling nothing but disappointment. I probably will skip this and let my fond memories stay as they are.

XV will sell a ton, and VIIR will sell two. SE can't lose.
It was discussed when the game was announced back at E3 that CyberConnect2 is developing the game.

You're not. Granted, I'm more disappointed than pissed.

Biggs, Wedge & Jesse
Eh..I always thought they had personalities.
For the
far too short time you knew them
I'm hugely excited. FF7 original isn't going anywhere, and this remake looks intriguing.
I get the feeling it's going to be episodic though. Hmm...
Versus XIII was never far along. The game got stuck in a perpetual "pre-production" stage for most of its existence.

Cue "Why not both" gif.
I had my doubts, but seeing how much of the opening of the original game they got right with this footage.... DAMN! Keeping true to events/scenes was more of a priority I was worrying about than keeping true to the battle system. Anyways, I don't mind ARPG as long as they keep some way to control all the characters, and like someone said, it looks like you CAN(Barret is controllable). This is basically what Versus originally planned, but then they axed it(shame). For me, in a series like FF, where entire parties MATTER(both gameplay-wise and story-wise), to limit control to ONE main character sucks.
But yeah, I hope to see other infamous scenes translate this well. They got the look of the world down, IMO. I'm not totally thrilled behind the design tweaks of Cloud and Barret, but it's something that won't bother me much. Jessie, Biggs, Wedge look awesome.

That was like 3 or 4 years after its initial announcement though, if your talking about the versus xiii trailer back then. We know FFVIIr started in 2014.

lol. what did you expect, honestly? The "count them on one hand" amount of people that prefer turn based/ATB combat is representative of why square moved to a flashier, less abstracted combat system. There are far more people that don't care or prefer this than otherwise, and they're who the game is being sold to.
