[Clevinger]

I was excited until Nomura. :/

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Er, wasn't it mentioned in the other thread game has only been in development for a few months or something?

 

[Fantastapotamus]

What is this?

 

[brickarts295]

First on PS4 huh, Guess PC gets a go which its good. Not so sure about Xbox though, then again FFXV and KH3 are coming there.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Who is doing it?? SE or CyberConnect2, or somebody else? Details, god I hope this is at SE conference tomorrow.

 

[Manmademan]

This E3 was megAton city.

No way to top this for years

yeah, sony clearly won not only this E3, but the next like...5

 

[Watcher]

What is this?

Sonys 2015 e3 conference

 

[vpance]

How on earth did Sony not nab this as a console exclusive. Huge, missed opportunity. The costs for the game must be astronomical.

90% of everyone that wants it will get it on PS4. The full exclusive money hat is trap and Sony knows it.

 

[killatopak]

Childhood self intensifies.

 

[Nesther]

So was the PC port announcement just a troll? Did the remake exist when they announced that?

This is what I suspect too. This project is most likely the reason Nomura left XV.

 

[Juke Joint Jezebel]

I wonder if it will still be turn based or an action RPG

If they gutted and redid the combat system my interest in this would really pique!

 

[zswordsman]

Hopefully they keep the materia system and turn based action.
Also, hopefully they get cloud's personality right. Not advent children sad cloud but ff7 badass cloud.

 

[crooked spin]

So is everyone going to be bummed when it turns out it's a scene-for-scene remake with higher fidelity assets or is that exactly what people want? The fact that they're finally making it is exciting, but that CG teaser really makes me wish it was a fully realized 3d world to explore. Can you imagine? Basically it'd be nice if they spent the budget of XV on remakes of old FF games that I personally like. Sounds reasonable to me! lol

Personally I WANT it to be a scene for scene remake with higher fidelity assets. Mainly because that's the only way this game would come out in my lifetime.

 

[doemaaan]

Oh shit, I just realized we never got our FF12 HD >_>.

 

[vinnygambini]

Do we know if it was in-engine or Visual Works CG?

I'm still asking myself if all is real lmao can't believe it.

 

[SweetTeddie]

Of the three crazy announcements this was the most impressive. I lost my shit when Nomura was shown as the director. I thought that guy was disgraced and ready to leave SE. Please god let this be good.

 

[Dick Justice]

 

[Turin]

Compilation was a mistake and should be treated like it never happened.

I wonder where Genesis will join the party.

The best part about all of this is that I'm pretty sure the PS Experience announcement was 100% intentional trolling now.

Kinda adds a whole new layer to the Hashimoto gif, when you think about it.

Wow. Your right. Makes the troll even better.

 

[CHC]

Hashimoto knew. HE KNEW!

HE KNEW

 

[Dr. Buni]

I can't believe the Shenmue 3 thread has more posts than this one.

It is indeed surprising, but Shenmue 3 is a new game. Or better, will be a new game.

 

[supernormal]

I actually teared up. MS came in hard this morning, and I thought to myself Sony's gonna have to bring FF7 or something. I can't believe they actually did that and Shemnue III plus Last Guardian.

 

[GalacticAE]

 

[Feichaw]

I wonder if it will still be turn based or an action RPG

I hope it's turn based, but I'm not expecting that.

 

[the_sun_king]

Oh shit, I just realized we never got our FF12 HD >_>.

There's still Square's own presser tomorrow (hopefully they can announce it there).

 

[Aswell]

I was there.
Can't believe all these rumours (FFVII remake, Shenmue III, ...) actually came true. It's the middle of the night, it's insane, I even don't know if I'm just dreaming or if this is real life.
* goes back to sleep, it's 5am... *

 

[Slowdive]

Oh shit, I just realized we never got our FF12 HD >_>.

Square Enix hasn't had their conference yet!

 

[Dark_castle]

yup but "homg HD CLOUD AND SEPHY" is enough for some fools.

People who like something I don't are idiots.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Hey everyone.

See my TAG.

Kagari, bend the knee and apologise to FF7 remake believers.

THE BANNERS WERE UNITED!

 

[LowParry]

I need like some reaction vids. I'm dyyyyyyyyyyying.

 

[KarmaCow]

This seems cruel, teasing people with a CG trailer and hope without even a hint of a release year.

 

[Heroman]

Er, wasn't it mentioned in the other thread game has only been in development for a few months or something?

It has to be all the main dude are working on kh3 and ffv.

 

[MikeE21286]

Holy Fucking Shit.

I bet this thing is out exactly 20 years after the release of the original.

That seems like a reasonable interpretation.

 

[Artanisix]

"Hopefully they keep the materia system and turn based action."

I can't see them scrapping the materia system -- it is fundamental to the game.

I can, however, see them scrapping the turn-based action for something else and I really fucking hope they don't.

 

[Darknight]

So was the PC port announcement just a troll? Did the remake exist when they announced that?

Im guessing it was a troll announcement. Sony and SE at its finest.

It was slated for spring this year and gamers were wondering wtf was going on already. I'd buy it but im guessing its not happening.

 

[unity of the void]

While FF7 didn't have much of an impact on me, seeing everyone here become so happy did bring a smile to my face.

 

[Lulubop]

First on PS4 huh, Guess PC gets a go which its good. Not so sure about Xbox though, then again FFXV and KH3 are coming there.

They would have said console exclusive if it wasn't.

 

[cafemomo]

YOU CYNICS CANNOT GET ME DOWN RIGHT NOW. IT'S FF7 REMAKE!!

BEST E3 MOMENT EVER.

Did you toss out your older consoles out the window?

 

[DNAbro]

Can't believe this was announced. Completely flipped out.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

If they gutted and redid the combat system my interest in this would really pique!

combat is action RPG.

 

[anaron]

I was excited until Nomura. :/

as much as I hate the idea of a remake, same. the news of Kitase directing was a huge booster for me and now that's gone and any hope of something resembling what made the original good.

 

[Ōkami]

Seeing how Nomura is directing this and KH3 I guess we can expect for both to be years away.

Let the man be done with one game before directing another.

 

[The Artisan]

This won't end up on Xbox.

how do you know?

 

[Hunter S.]

Final fantasy 13 and 13-2 made me lose hope in FF. FF15 has girly characters and looks corny.

Final Fantasy 7 remake makes my fandom of FF alive again.

So good!

 

[SeZMehK]

When is the SQEX conference?

 

[Wazzy]

Oh my god can this be the artstyle instead?

 

[doemaaan]

There's still Square's own presser tomorrow (hopefully they can announce it there).

Oh shit, that's right. Thank God.

 

[Sirius]

Advent Children visuals are a possibility now.

 

[Feichaw]

What is this?

GAF reaction to the Sony conference.

 

[Soulkay]

Square-Enix just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by making uninspired remakes. If you screw with the fans in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase the FFVII remake for any system, nor will they purchase any of Square-Enix's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Square has alienated an entire market with this move.

Square, publicly apologize and cancel the FFVII remake or you can kiss your business goodbye.

lol
Check any Jap Gaming forum, they are as thrilled as we are if not much.

Spoiler

But I guess your post was a joke ? Right ?

 

[Needlecrash]

I can't believe it. IT'S FUCKING REAL.
