It's a big game so it probably will take a long time before we get it in our hands. I think some of the Kingdom Hearts staff will probably help Division 1 with FF7R when that game is out. If we are lucky Naoki Hamaguchi
who is in charge of development is keeping the teams hard at work at a steady pace.

There's not really a this gen to next gen cycle anymore. A great many people game on something like a GTX 1050 or a Radeon 560 at 1080p and some people play those same games at 4k with a gtx1080.The future of consoles is no different. The game will likely run on Ps4\Pro and PS5, the money you spend will determine the performance you get.

Episodes out this gen, complete collection out next.

Lord I hope so...
Honestly though, I expect we won't hear anything until next year. I would assume that KH3 is taking up a lot of internal resources, so once that's out of the way the team will probably start firing on all cylinders to get things rolling for reals and we'll probably start hearing rumblings of a release sometime in the fall or winter next year.
I'm sure the strategy is to release it for PS4/Pro, and then start mobile tie-ins and merchandising, while tweaking it to release it anywhere they possibly can afterwards, including PC, an XBone version (if licensing and partnership deals during development even allow it), and then 'complete' editions on whatever systems are available once it's done, double and triple dipping wherever possible. If they want to sell as many copies as possible using that strategy, it's more advantageous to release it on PS4 this gen so it can be repackaged and sold next generation and ports can be worked on

Might be interesting if they released the bombing mission as a free taster.

They probably want to charge $60 for each piece of episodic content. They can’t release a $180 game (assuming 3 parts).

Vaporware at this point to me. Felt like announcement was just bluff.

Yeah this is my feeling as well, no way this will all be available on current gen either way.
my guess is it quietly moved on to next gen. it's episodic, obviously won't be wrapped up any time soon much less released any time soon, and you don't hear anything about it like with versus some years ago
so if you connect the dots... yeah. though cross gen for episode one is certainly not off the table

Probably next, they'd only have time for one episode at this point.

Next gen.
I really hope they don't make episode one cross gen. I already think it's annoying that they will be splitting it up into 3 parts. I hope they at least make them all feel even instead of one being cross gen and the other ones getting a technical bump from being next gen only

Really? What in God's name were they doing?
If true, I guess cross-gen (a la Persona 5).

It's probably gonna be cross generation with a collection release on the next generation.
I'm hoping we'll see something substantial at E3 considering Nomura did have footage he was prepared to show last year. Unfortunately Square just didn't want to yet for whatever reason.
Currently reading the old announcement and gameplay threads to revitalize the hype at this point.

Soooo this is not a turn based game? It's not a remake of the best turn based RPG of all time? What's the point? Mehhhhhhhhh what are they thinking making this like Mass Effect or whatever I can tell from the gameplay snip

Wouldn't be shocked if it become ff VII-2 or something. Don't see why they would remake it in a completely different style when they could use the resources and time better on a new game.
They could literally made a remake of 7 with a few artisists an programmers redrawing thebackgrounds and replacing models and sounds. Use a 5.1 mix of the soundtrack.

This is pure conjecture. We do not yet know how gens will shake out.

If this is true then that is sorta sad.
I know SE thinks the FF14/15 formula is the future. But wow I would be happy to legit just see FF7 - playing just like FF7 - with current gen graphics.
Yes same exact script, SAME ATB, just better looking. Seriously, I don't want a FF15-Kingdom Hearts version of FF7. Yea, I know they've decided not to go that direction and have come up with explanations as to why it needs to be whatever it's going to end up being-- AND THAT MAY EVEN BE TRUE, BUT I DON'T CARE ANY WAY. And let's throw Nobou on the tunes again as well, digital remaster the symphonic masterpiece

I'm going to say next gen and I'm comfortable waiting for a quality remake vs a rushed remake thats as faithful to the original story as possible. Cross gen releases are ugly and expensive as a gamer and probably for production too.
I think they should have gone with a more stylised art direction that's faithful to original artwork. The tech's there to make stylised games look good (see Dragon Ball Fighter Z). It'd also help to preserve the endearing Japanese-y charm of the original game's visuals – something that is utterly lost with the more realistic approach. The realistic look makes the characters look like a bunch of cosplayers. (This was something I also felt back when I first saw Advent Children.)

I definitely agree with this. I would have liked to see them use graphical style that could have brought this art style to life.
Same way Kingdom Hearts does with Nomura's art style.
Yup, it just makes more sense. FF7's original character designs aren't rooted in realism like, for example, FF13's. Seeing anime-esque characters re-designed as real people makes them look live-action/cosplay odd. A stylised approach would have been more visually spectacular too, I think.I definitely agree with this.

Agreed. This why I'm much more excited for Kingdom Hearts III than FFVII Remake. Every time I see new trailer for KHIII, looks super exciting and charming, mean while FFVII looks soooo boring by comparison. It looks like they are going for that Advent Children look and that to me is huge mistake because that movie has none of charm that made original FFVII so memorable.
Its like taking out Akira Toriyama's art style out Dragon Quest and making look realistic instead.

yep, I keep thinking that the style that they are using is completely wrong for the game but on the other hand they are also aiming for the casual consumer who might not be interested in something a bit more stylized. I would just like a ghibli like movie of this game.

I would prefer FF7 remake to look super hard vs charming.
If they want realism, I don't have a problem. Advent Children's designs weren't the issue as much as how uncharismatic the characters portrayed themselves I.E. the writing.
I remember fighting Sephiroth in the final fight at the end of the game. They upped the polygons and the realism, it looked fantastic especially for the time

But we already got realism with FFXV, can we for once have much more stylize FF game? I personally really liked original FFVII character design more than the crappy design we got Advent Children. I the tech we got I really want to see they bring those original design to life.
