Ding ding ding. If they do tweak the combat, that's probably what they'll go with.

Guys the Diamond, Ruby and Emerald weapons will be fucking glorious!! They're going to look like actual gems!

Oh man I can't wait to see the 1080p 60 FPS casting of Knights of The Round that's 5 minutes in length :)

Interesting, so this is Sony funded? I guess that puts the speculation about an Xbox One version to rest.

Hopefully there's more information at their E3 conference.

I mentioned that before. SE should probably say it themselves though... if they will.
 
I cried watching the last twenty seconds of the trailer, Midgar looks fucking godlike.

I'll never lose faith again. Sony with this alone you've earned my PS4 purchase out of sheer gratitude.

Indeed. I've been pretty down on the idea of my favourite game getting this sort of treatment, but that shot of Barret and Cloud walking through the slums alone was enough to convince me that maybe a remake isn't such a bad idea after all.

Ill believe it when I see it.

This project is probably way off from completion. 2017 at the earliest and a lot can happen between now and then.
 
Its a game thats going to come out 2017 or even later. I don't think its really decided if its exclusive or not but that PS4 is what they are focusing on. The wording Sony used is not like their other phrases (console exclusive, console debut) and I think that reflects the situation.
It doesn't ducking matter. FF7 Remake for PS4. 2 days ago, it was a dream. Last night it became reality. Done. We just need to see Aeris's new boobs and Sephiroth's ass then the circle is complete

They've been releasing mainline FF games, with the exception of XIV, on Xbox platforms since XIII.

I really can't see missing an Xbox One release, especially at the budget for this game.

But seriously guys...

What does this mean for the FF VII PC port to the PS4?

I'm guessing at the SE conference they'll be like... "FF7 remake is coming in 2017, but if you want your FF7 fix right now, it's now available on the PSN store!"

the bone doesnt have anything even remotely resembling the 360 audience though..

and as I and others have said type-0 did not sell at all on the bone so unless 15 magically takes off it will be the last.

Do we know how the FFXIII games and Type-0 performed on Xbox?

ff13 games did ok, type-0 did nothing

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
I said it's possible, nothing for certain. It might not even do that depending on the release timeline. I'm just making a guess based on what's happened with other Sony-funded things as of late.
So this is Sony funded? Sorry I haven't seen any mention of it.
Thanks

I'm happy about this but I'm cynical enough to think that it is still 2 + years away from release. Maybe since CyberConnect is doing it they won't take as long as Square would.

Surely you mean Tifa.

Now I wonder how they will do the infamous airship cut-scene with Tifa's early 90's over the top boob physics.

The idea of a media campaign with new character art, world art, music, summons, everything all over again just seems mind boggling. It is going to be amazing to see just what changes and how.

I hope they keep the ATB just for tradition's sake, but feel free to add a few flourishes on top of it.

I still think its coming out on Xbox. Just my 2c.

Type-0 is a PSP port. FFVII has more of a following than a side game.

Type-0 is a poor barometer of FF fan interest.

I skipped it and I have almost all the mainline games.

Well, the trailer does say "Play it FIRST on Playstation 4", so it has to come to Xbone and to PC.
 
SE should clarify this themselves, but I would not expect it on that platform - especially given where the fanbase for FF lies (hint: not on Xbox).

Don't you think this game is iconic enough to sell millions on Xbox One regardless of where the majority of the series' fanbase makes camp? I mean, it is Final Fantasy 7. We all have our own favourite entries (mine is 8), but I think it's unquestionable that 7 is the most recognized and influential.

I say this as a PC and PS4 owner by the way. I'm not here hoping for an Xbox One release, it's just that it seems likely to me that it will happen. I can see a Final Fantasy 7 remake easily selling 10+ million copies, maybe even reaching Skyrim's 20 million. I think the name of the game alone carries enough to weight to shift millions on any platform it launches on.

My 2c: buy a PS4 if you want to play this game before the next decade.

Judging by the reactions in this thread I think the trailer was quite prophetic.

The reunion at hand may bring joy. It may bring fear. But let us embrace whatever it brings.

I personally am going to be doing the bolded part.
 
I think they'll have to do the Corneo scene. I mean part of his animation was him humping everything in sight.

It would be funny if they kept it identical though just different graphics but I have a feeling that whole area is changing. Maybe they'll just make him a total creeper.

They'll probably still hit the important notes (Cloud crossdressing, bath scene with burly gay men,) but yeah, the details may be different.

Then again, this is being made by a Japanese team, and to my knowledge the Japanese give significantly fewer fucks about the crowd that would have issues with a faithful recreation of that sequence than an American team would, since that crowd just isn't as vocal over there.

OK now get me that PC port so I can play on my PS4 while I wait. (if it still exists).

Those reactions were awesome. It's mind boggling that the large corporations need to much failure to finally open their eyes and realize what the fans wanted all along.
