Support NeoGAF

[dark10x]

The slow uptake of new consoles in Japan seems to be a concern, and Square Enix is making a concerted effort to make sure the PlayStation 4 is more attractive to the audience in its home country

I fear it won't be a difference in Japan, but god bless Square-Enix for trying. Seriously, their efforts here are just awesome.

They're working hard to support console and PC gaming while simultaneously support mobile. Really gaining a new respect for them since the big shake-up. They really seem to be changing their approach to development.

Bleach? You wanna bring Bleach into this you say?

The law of big boobs states Tifa must be Orihime, leaving Rukia(she's technically dead too) to be Aerith. Ichigo is gonna end up with Aizen so everyone loses.

The Naruto comparisons were bad enough, but comparing Tifa to Orihime should result in a thread ban.

 

[Meaty]

I sincerely hope they do branching storylines

 

[ShogunDarius]

I can't wait for the Motorbike sequence

 

[dark10x]

I can't wait for the Motorbike sequence

They should have a sequence where you "train" for that moment using the original visuals. Like Cloud plays it on his phone or something.

 

[DrROBschiz]

He trolled us good!

Ohh and it will certainly boost console sales. Hopefully a lot in japan

you think he KNEW then?

Lawd this brings me back, back in my playthrough of FF7 I did at the start of highschool I was into that series so I actually did rename everyone to have Bleach character names. Although I had Aerith as Orihime just because I knew she was going to die lol.

In an era of Konami disappearing up their own arse it deserves kudos. The budget of this remake must be high coupled with being knee deep with XV

 

[nelsonroyale]

You just compared Naruto's writing to FF7. My god. That's a sin of itself.

Sins and all, I vastly prefered the story in FFVII to Naruto. The game had some iconic moments as well, and the world design was pretty creative.

Naruto...

now i'm just imagining a HD remake of Suikoden

 

[Rymuth]

you think he KNEW then?

Just look at him

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

you think he KNEW then?

Of course he knew.

That laugh was one of, "Oh man you guys just wait".

 

[IAmRandom31]

You peeps talking about Cloud crossdressing act like he is doing it for enjoyment or that is like, his thing or something.

He does it to infiltrate the Don's Mansion. Nothing more.

How is that scene controversial in the first place?

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

Based Hashimoto. Troll of the forever.

His reaction was not because FF7R was fake......he was excited to see how would we react when they finally do announce FF7R.

 

[leadbelly]

Please look forward to it

I am looking forward to it and excited at the same time.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

This pairing shit feels too familiar to Naruto's with Sakara and Hinata.

Aerith is dead and wears pink so she must be Sakura(with all the Ls she's taking she might as well go full Yamcha and be dead) and Tifa has big boobs so she must be Hinata, Hinata won so there's your answer friends, it is law.

Spoiler

#TeamBarett

I'd like to apologise on behalf of Naruto GAF for this shitpost.

Forgive The Silver for his stupidity.

Its actually genius for SE to say this. Even older fans have no idea what to expect now. Anticipation is even higher.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

you think he KNEW then?

He's an executive so yeah he knew.

 

[DecoyOctopus]

in a proper world, Sakaguchi and Kitase would be in charge with Nomura just doing character designs.

Because it's hilarious in chibi-form and the artists will have their work cutout for them to make Cloud look like a good looking chick with modern day graphics.

Not really...

 

[Easy_D]

Cloud should put on a pink wig. He'll look just like Lightning

 

[Markitron]

I was actually thinking they might have only just started it, good to know they have been making it for at least 8 months.

 

[Asd202]

I don't know if people noticed but on the main site:
http://www.jp.square-enix.com/ffvii_remake/

Roberto Ferrari is credited as character designer along with Nomura.

So here's a question:

Which would have made GAF happier? FF7HD or FF12HD?

FFXII HD personally would have made me very happy. I absolutely love that game to pieces, and I've wanted a Vita HD version for so long. Actually, an HD version on all platforms is the ideal scenario, I just want a Vita version to play on the bus!

This FFVII remake is amazing to me not because I'm a big fan of FFVII (I loved it back when it released, and am kind of meh on it now), seeing all of the excitement has me excited. Lol.

Yesterday, at the PlayStation booth, there were these two women walking next to me, and on the big jumbo screen, the FFVII Remake trailer started playing, and they stopped in their tracks and started geeking out. One of them was actually tearing up. Lol. It's just something many gamers have wanted for so long.

This E3 has been the E3 of dreams. Lol.

 

[Caipirinha]

How big are Sony considering this game to potentially be? Are they looking at it as an Uncharted level exclusive? Bigger? Smaller?

I can't think of anything other than FIFA and CoD sales wise than this would be worldwide, and in terms of cultural impact it's literally no 1 at this point.

 

[Caipirinha]

Never been to Thailand brah?

 

[Markitron]

I'd say it would do as well as Fallout 4 will do. Which will be 10-15 million IMO.

 

[Majukun]

is this only ps4 or ps4 and pc like shenmue?
anyway..if they want to sell it to me,they need to do a lot more than a simple graphic update like nintendo did fro the 2 n64 zelda game on 3ds...not really one to pay twice for the same game

 

[silva1991]

He knew.

And now I love this gif lol

 

[silva1991]

Action RPG.

If the gameplay is like the one in Versus13 then it's fine

 

[Sou Da]

Cloud should put on a pink wig. He'll look just like Lightning

I'd lose it if the crossdressing scene was Lightning cosplay.

 

[AuthenticM]

oh my god

 

[QuantumZebra]

Cloud should put on a pink wig. He'll look just like Lightning

That explains why they are among my favorite FF chars

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

Boosting console sales in Japan? PS5 will be out by the time this game comes.

 

[SprachBrooks]

Or get a PS4 if you don't want to wait?

I've never understood why people limit themselves to one console.

Money, time. You know, if you used common sense and didn't try to think of everyone being in the same situation as you.

 

[SprachBrooks]

Lol, Rinoa my friend.

I want a FFVIII remake now,,,

Best thing about VIII was Squall and its soundtrack.

 

[Sidewinder]

He knew.

I hope he did, would make him one of the biggest trolls that ever lived

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Money, time. You know, if you used common sense and didn't try to think of everyone being in the same situation as you.

Money and time are obvious answer I know that, I'm not asking: "Don't you have the money and time to buy all the consoles?" I'm genuinely curious as to why anyone would limit themselves to one console. I know some people who have the more than enough means to own all the consoles yet still limit themselves to one for petty reasons.

Also, no need to sound so condescending. I'm not implying that everyone is in the same financial situation as me. Trust me, there are many many people way better off than me. I also know that there are many in way worse shape. I'm aware that not everyone has the time/money to buy all video game consoles, I'm also aware that there are people who don't even have enough to get one.

 

[Mit-]

Does anyone know where Eurogamer sourced this interview?

I'm interested in reading the entire thing. The dress line is particularly ambiguous. Did they actually ask him about the dress scene?

 

[ShemhazaiX]

Keep the #@!%ing symbols in mother@#^!ers.

I hope that rather than having symbols for the swearing, every time that Barret and Cid swear there's some kind of loud noise that covers it up. Like on the train, Barret gets pissed off and mouths "Fuck!" but it's completely covered up by a trains beeping.

I'd be okay with straight up bleeps a la Brutal Legend.

 

[Dragon1893]

I'm very curious to see how the game will perform and what it will do for the PS4 in Japan, very curious indeed.
