I hope they don't try too hard to be faithful to the original. I know it's a remake, but the same game with completely new visuals is a waste of resources to me, especially since I like Nomura's style anyway. I want it to be his vision or interpretation of FF7, since I can still just play the original if I want.
They better keep in a My Bloody Valentine reference though.

Aeris surviving would completely mess up the plot
Ya, that sounds about right.

Yeah, Lufia 2 is the only one I can really think of.

Aeris dies. This isn't some side character or whatever where their death doesn't actually have an impact, it's pretty much the set up for the rest of the game.

If they want to do a relatively straightforward forward-port of the battle system and encounter design, then yeah, ATB Kai is the way to go for sure. I expect something wholly new, though, not a direct adaptation of what we've seen in another game.
Yeah I know its unheard of final fantasy games having branching paths. Maybe they could put someone to die in her place?
All I know is that while a remake has to be faithful, it also haves to do original things to spice it up a bit. Otherwise it gets dull. Only reason I like to watch GoT and Walking dead is because I know things might be different from what I've read.
Nobody else dying would match the plot significance of her death.
To echo what I've said before, I wouldn't mind them adding a "non canon" story mode that's got a few extra goodies in it like reviving Aeris

Sure we can have different stuff, but if we make Aeris live we might as well add a "But the world refused to change" game over screen a-la Chrono Trigger because Sephirot would just win right there.
GoT having different stuff is cool, but you can't like say - season 1 spoilers just in case lol -
have Eddard not die

I'm definitely into the prospect of added sidequests (something FF7 already had in spades) but on the other hand basically all new sidequests will probably be about Compilation of FF7 tie-ins, so be careful what you wish for.
The idea that they *won't* tie it into the Compilation things (despite their poor plotting) is just impossible - Nojima's not gonna cast aside his own work like that - so I just hope they do it tastefully instead of being really clumsy about it.
New Aerith-related sidequests would be neat if they somehow involve gaining her help from beyond the grave, but it'd kinda undermine the impact of the ending if she's pretty much constantly helping your party instead of only saving the day at the very end once Sephiroth's out of the way.

I wanna do the sound design and foley work for the scene with the bodybuilders when the camera pans away. Start off with the sound of someone open-palm slapping a bowl full of mayonnaise, transition slowly to the sound of someone energetically stirring a pot full of mac and cheese.

Just do what Persona 3 did and have a separate stand alone chapter for "what ifs" ,Regarding Aeris.

24 hours ago this would have been funny because of how ridiculous it is.
no way, probably one of the more memorable moments of the game and im sure they're well aware of it. they'll make it work somehow

haha that is brilliant
I hope this game will be M rated.So nice to be able to finally witness this in glorious HD
An uncompromised remake definitely warrants M on multiple fronts.

Have active switching and a nice gambit system or whatever to control how the AI will behave when you are not in control.

Fuck Aerith. Make Jessie survive.
I think they'll use Luminous Studio. Or whatever they're using for Dissidia unless that is UE4. Heh.
It's going to be there and it's going to be amazing

Why action RPG equals "modern systems", action RPG games have been on gaming almost as long as turn based systems....
And presentation equsl now to destroy the classic look of a game to make it more dark and edgy?
Dudes....
Imagine what Neo Bahamut and Knights of the Round will look like.
It'll look fucking amazing! I'm also looking forward to the bike sequence right before you leave Midgar.

Yeah, something like this could work. Obviously they shouldn't change her place in the primary storyline.

I remember when I originally played FFVII I didn't even realize Jessie was female until
around the time she dies

Given the tone of the trailer and the new artstyle I doubt it.

It's amazing the game receive a Teen rating, all things considered.
There was a whole lot of innuendo and suggesive stuff that shouldnt' have gone through.

They can't receive a M rating. That would kill the sales of the game.

Was a long time (over a decade) since I was super excited for a game (The last time I was excited for a game was Halo 2 - tho the first gameplay trailer was bs). FFVII Remake gonna be sweet you guys. I have faith in Nomura.

I'm down for turn-based stuff, but no waiting for bars to fill up or standing in lines opposite the enemies. FFX's CTB is good because it's so damn fast; so is FFX-2's ATB Kai or FFXII's ADB because they allow for simultaneous turns.
As for presentation, I'm just talking about how engaged the combat animation is. Definitely agree with you that dark and edgy is bad; someone earlier in the thread posted that they want FFVIIR to keep around the weirder enemies from the original like the house from the junkyard and I totally agree.
Also, totally calling it now that the final title of this is "FFVII: Reunion."
