A lot of fans would complain unfortunately.

It's one of the reasons I really want customization options.

They've already changed Barrett's classic gun. I'm sure they could get away with giving her shorts again instead (Advent Children).

 

[sora87]

I hope we get to pick our covers, I want Yuffie hanging out in Wutai

 

[Ferr986]

I just hope they keep the love triangle subtle like the original, and avoid making it so "in your face" like FF8 and 10.

Also #TeamTifa.

 

[Jennipeg]

I wouldn't mind the new logo with the title on it and that's it maybe add the lifestream on it in some way.

Yeah I'd like that too, there is a bit more space now so they can add some things. I just like the simplicity of the originals.

 

[Arkeband]

They've already changed Barrett's classic gun. I'm sure they could get away with giving her shorts again instead (Advent Children).

To be fair Barrett's classic gun doesn't make an awful lot of sense.

I think the gatling makeover is a vast improvement.

Her AC design is one of the few things I like about that movie.

Anyway, I want the option to give Cloud two shoulder pads like this picture below. Blasphomy, I know!

And a martial artist wearing a mini-skirt makes greater sense?

I mean, technically, yes.

Guys a whole new generation is going to be introduced to the FFVII love triangle debate.

Reliving my teen years!

 

[Via Purifico]

If you pay close attention to the trailer the Gatling gun is placed on realistically.

On his amputated arm there is a brace attached to the gun for added realism.
A major improvement and I can't wait to see the rest of the cast.

 

[Atlantis]

To me is all about pure damage output. Anybody can heal, status ailments can easily be addressed/caused. Any chance to do more damage makes a character more useful, like the multiple slot techniques. That's why my final party is always made of Cloud Tifa Cid Berret Or Vincent, multiple hit limit breaks. Never had a moment of a last minute save using Aeris' limit breaks.

Aerith actually does have an absolutely incredible offensive Limit Break in Fury Brand, too bad it's partnered with the useless Breath of the Earth.

People focus a lot on end game damage out put, but Seal Evil is probably the best Limit Break the entire time Aerith is in the party unless you do some heavy grinding.

I don't really think there's much to debate considering how the story goes...its more about preference on which girl you like better during that time.

 

[Lemondish]

Tifa could do so much better.

 

[Ferr986]

Yeah it basically Cloud and Tifa. Cloud had always a thing for Tifa.
I always assumed Aeris have some interest for Cloud just because he reminds her of Zack.

 

[joecanada]

Tifa could do so much better.

tifa is the consolation prize. plus cloud gets that pity as a widower but I'm pretty sure at the end of the story barrett makes cloud his woman.

 

[Sephzilla]

Aeris just likes a man in uniform

 

[Turin]

Tifa could do better.

I love Cloud but I sometimes feel like he'll still die in the cold somewhere. And he won't even be that bummed about it. lol

This is what excites me. Not the love triangle thing but that a whole new generation of players are going to experience this amazing game.

Will it resonate and have the same impact for new players? (assuming the remake does the game justice).

 

[DiipuSurotu]

In Europe and Japan we got the logo on a white background.

http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070312205050/finalfantasy/images/a/ad/Ff7_eu.jpg

Perfection.

The new logo looks like it's more fitting for a black background than a white one.

There was a love triangle in 10?

Tidus was in love with both himself and Yuna.

 

[Via Purifico]

Since things wont exactly be the same I wouldn't mind a little interaction between the turks and the crew before the last showdown. Something in character but a nice touch like them saying go get em we'll wait here to catch you.

No. Was talking more about how primordial was the love story in those games.

HOLY SHIT GUYS FFVII IS BEING REMADE WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Inuhanyou]

Yeah it basically Cloud and Tifa. Cloud had always a thing for Tifa.
I always assumed Aeris have some interest for Cloud just because he reminds her of Zack.

In the game Aerith does state that she was attracted to Cloud because he reminded her of Zack. But she understood that Cloud wasn't him.

Its like Rose mistaking Dart for Zeig in Legend of Dragoon, even though they were not the same person and she acknowleged that fact.

I have had this video saved on my favourites for years. It was a fan made remake of the menu and it still looks incredible now imo and it was done in 2009

HOLY SHIT GUYS FFVII IS BEING REMADE WHAT THE FUCK

THE POSTER WAS VERIFIED

 

[Voror]

Was there anything in the way of story that got cut from VII that could get out in here?

 

[Lifejumper]

Its more likely they will cut things from the original. Making games is expensive and ff7 was a big game.

 

[Ganzlinger]

I hope they don't change Tifa's outfit. It's iconic.

 

[bananafactory]

They should release this on 3 discs again, just because

[pooptest]

Ctrl + F: "Sapphire"

No results... 7,500 posts in and am I the only one who wants to fight him? Maybe he won't get

in the Remake.

Eh. I guess for some people it was.

*fingers crossed for customization options*

 

[bananafactory]

It's iconic but I do think it should be updated to be more practical. I wouldn't mind each character getting minor alterations as long as they still look like themselves

I find that her sexualized appearance doesn't jive with her personality. It works for a character like Bayonetta, but not Tifa.

I don't think anything drastic needs to be altered, replace the crop top with a more traditional tank and maybe swap out black shorts in place of the skirt.

This is of course just my opinion, I know it's going to be a touchy subject

Eh. I guess for some people it was.

*fingers crossed for customization options*

Customization would be awesome. Offer new default costumes for characters but also offer "classic" or make the old ones unlockable

 

[Via Purifico]

Some ideas I thought that would be cool for the remake.

Yuffie flashback during the Wutai segment to know more about her maybe add the CC segment in the flashback.
More background info on Vincent and why he can transform during his limit breaks.

When taking on Sephiroth slight flashes of Aerith,Biggs,Wedge and Jessie and Cloud says this is for you. Small but a nice touch.

 

[deriks]

Maybe?

Also, it has a train moving. Could be the train that avalanche is in?

 

[DoktorEvil]

I think rated T games get away with more today than before.

You're gonna have to post examples, because I can't think of any T Rated games today that are doing what FF7 was doing in 1997. Theres a lot of stuff that Square got away with in pre rendered backdrops.

The more edgy games today, like CoD, Mortal Kombat, GTA, and Spec Ops, all were given M Ratings.

 

[Kikujiro]

Tifa needs a new outfit, the miniskirt is too silly, it was ok with stylized graphics like those early PS1 polygons, but with a more realistic look it doesn't work (see Quiet). Her redesign in Advent Children was awesome, so they can do something similar.

I think she looks fine here:

As long as there are no obvious panty shots I see no problems.

 

[Koozek]

Man, I wonder what's up with FFXVI now. If FFVIIR comes out in '17 (absolute best case), then we could get FFXVI in '18 two years after FFXV, which would be the shortest time span between two main-line (non-sequel) FFs since FFX/FFXI in '01/'02. If FFVIIR comes out in '18, though, we would have to wait another 4 years until '19 to see the first new new FF (we theoretically know FFXV since '06). Unless they release FFXVI in '17 already, just one year after FFXV, which would be crazy.

 

[Look! The Pie!]

I know the slap battle is considered an iconic moment in the original game, but I really hope they make it an actual fight in the remake. I'm sure Scarlet had combat training, and Tifa's a freaking martial arts master, but nope, let's just have them slapping each other. The whole extended setpiece with Sapphire WEAPON attacking Junon and Tifa escaping her intended execution is so great, but I always wondered why Tifa didn't just drop Scarlet with a falcon punch or something.

Ah come on, it's not nearly as bad as Quiet.
Other than the "she cant fight with a skirt" the actual outfit isn't that bad. It's not far from what a regular girl wears in summer (top + skirt)

I want a full on fight too on top of the weapon. I want Tifa punching Scarlet so hard that she laughs properly.

Or clothing can be equippable (but not able to hold Materia for balancing issues).

Because FFVII has humor and doesn't always take itself seriously.

 

[Via Purifico]

I can see the slap battle being reduced to a cutscene and if a minigame it wont be lasting as long as it did in the original.

Yup. They could even do some obscure ones like Cloud's Shinra uniform.

Yeah. There's some games in recent years that are kind of surprising that they get an M rating.

That would be great. Could Scarlet even fight? I'd think Tifa would just crush her.

Or clothing can be equippable (but not able to hold Materia for balancing issues).

In a utopian world.

 

[jiggle]

her looks fine to me
no reason to change

it's aerith that's more problematic
how does one even run in that let alone kneel

 

[Sephiroth_GR_]

I maintain that people's confusion and disbelief about Aeris being dead dead came from the fact that there was no blood in the cutscene.

There's a crazy theory that Cloud actually finished her off.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Her skirt isn't buttoned all the way down.

It doesn't sound too difficult to run in it although in reality it should make her reveal more skin.
