i think it makes perfect sense about the FFXV staff changes.

no longer worried on that front with regards to what went down.

Seems like Nomura demise was a cover up for him to direct the remake.

 

[Kagari]

Kagari was this the reason he was removed from XV?

No.

 

[Soi-Fong]

It was a big piece of information. I didn't want to ruin the surprise or betray those who told me.

Kagari, you serious about the PS4 console exclusive???

 

[Brokun]

I can't believe it. Dreams do come true! But God it's so far away isn't it? I can't die before this comes out. I can't!

The next few years of my life is all about survival. I'm not driving faster than 10 below the speed limit. No fat, no sugar, no salt. Where's my water bottle? I need water in here! Gotta hydrate! 8 glasses per day right, that's the doctor's recommendation?

 

[Quazar]

Kagari, you serious about the PS4 console exclusive???

Yes, do confirm!

 

[To Far Away Times]

no worries, all three titles will make the next few E3s at a minimum. Today's announcements are the gifts that keep on giving.

Yeah, you have to wonder when all this stuff is releasing. Surely each game is coming out in a different year I would imagine.

Any reaction or crowd videos worth watching?

There are few on youtube. I search "Final Fantasy VII remake reaction", but not sure about your definition of worth watching.

 

[Zomba13]

Any reaction or crowd videos worth watching?

Game Trailers.

Will have to scrub the time (around 9 hours I think). Perfect reactions to the trinity. Super special too if you like the GT bunch and Huber and Bosman.

Also worth watching when they go up will be the Super Best Friends watch. Might be a while for that though as the MS one only went up an hour or so ago.

Brothers and sisters of the Square fandom:

Look to one-another and smile. There will never be another moment quite like this one again in our lives.

Ever.

 

[Salsa]

they really should just straight up add VA to the original english localization

don't be dicks, gimme a brooding serious this guy are sick

 

[Fbh]

Man, I really hope someone sits down with Nomura, gives him a copy of FF7 and tells him "See this?... make a nice looking version of this and nothing more".

I'm not against changes being made but if they are made by Nomura they can only be for the worse.

 

[Ezalc]

wake me up when they remake 8

And then me when they remake IX

.........................................

 

[NoctisVsStar]

No.

I'm more confused than ever before, hopefully one day we'll know the truth. I'm just glad he's back.

 

[PfantzyPantz]

What a crazy and beautiful day.

 

[neptunes]

was the previous FF7 PS4 port unveiling an intentional troll?

 

[Valnen]

Lord Nomura-sama is back ;-;

He absolutely needed to be involved with this game. Wouldn't be FF7 without him.

 

[Reallink]

The development just started. PS5 title?

Sheeit you're right. Current-gen will have long lost its visual luster by the time this comes out, which is a real boner killer for a remake.

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Now they can finally rope in the compilation stuff to this game.

 

[Karsticles]

Random encounters, or pre-set roaming enemy encounters?

 

[Seik]

It's insane how I suddenly forgive them what they did at first.

Holy shit, it's really happening, still can't wrap my head around the idea. :O

 

[Hatchtag]

So, do we know if it's an ARPG or if it's still turn-based?

Wasn't there some leak that called the staff that said it was now an ARPG?

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I get the feeling this came to be after the PSX backlash reaction.

 

[DopeyFish]

Random encounters, or pre-set roaming enemy encounters?

I really hope they ditch the random encounters

[Ishida]

Hey Kagari, you say that you knew about the remake for a year now, but did you know it was going to be announced today? And is there any other info about it that you can share?

 

[Feichaw]

Random encounters, or pre-set roaming enemy encounters?

Random encounters, please.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

Man this won't end well. People will rage over the tiniest details.. Especially if the combat is tweaked.

 

[bob page]

Can we add a gif for the GameTrailers reaction?

Quality on mine is pretty shit but the screams were pretty amazing:

It would appear. So. Either that or they literally started work on this CGI trailer as soon as they got the negative feedback. Hashimoto would have had to make the call from abck stage after walking off.

 

[xxdoshiyarovexx]

Lord Nomura-sama is back ;-;

He is TuT He is the best!!!!!!!!!

 

[Kagari]

Kagari, you serious about the PS4 console exclusive???

I'll try and find out for sure but the press release and website only list PS4 with a promise for more information this winter.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

Yeah, I'm very curious to find out how the company that said HD towns were too hard last gen are going to remake FF7 in full under today's graphical standards.

I think this has more to do with Crystal Tools than anything else. UE3-powered The Last Remnant was released before FFXIII and handled HD towns just fine.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Kinda surprised this might end up on Xbox One

TLG release was way off though.

 

[bananafactory]

Random encounters, please.

Lmao, no one is going to be happy with this remake.

 

[Jinfash]

So, like, can we trust Nomura to finish ANY project at this point? I've always felt this guy is out of his depth whenever he's handling huge projects/teams. Or is he gonna start this project then hand it off to someone else?

As much as I respect his finished work, the choice of director for this is my biggest concern.

 

[SolidSnakex]

I'll try and find out for sure but the press release and website only list PS4 with a promise for more information this winter.

PSX?

 

[Diablos]

So very curious on how they will handle the battle system.

Me too.

 

[Vodh]

This is the best E3 announcement ever, I'm so happy ;__;

 

[ExVicis]

Man this won't end well. People will rage over the tiniest details.. Especially if the combat is tweaked.

Conversely unless the combat is abyssmal, some people somewhere will probably praise it for changing what they think were the few bad things about it.

In either case, I'm glad they're gonna try.

Spoiler

Personally though I'm still in shock and waiting to wake up

 

[CharminUltra]

Materia system is my fave ever, please don't mess with it too much.

Yep was that some kind of elaborate troll?

The messiah.

But he also said TLG was coming this holiday because Uncharted was pushed to 2016. Sounds like he was just making stuff up.

 

[DangerMouse]

I can't believe you had to keep this secret for sooooo long. You're strong.

This. I'm impressed.

 

[Cels]

is square enix holding any surprises back? i mean we'll probably see more on games we already know about, like tomb raider, hitman, world of FF, and FF7 remake at their conference tomorrow.

just wishful thinking for ff12hd i guess.

 

[MilkBeard]

Random encounters, please.

I think they could make it work well with actual enemies on the map. You would inevitably have less encounters overall in the game, but it would make each battle more meaningful. I'd rather they go that route. Having random encounters in a fully realized 3D world in this day and age just won't cut it.

No Xbox logos anywhere kind of seems like console exclusive to me.
