Seeing Biggs Wedge and Jessie made me remember I'm still pissed...
It's a nice surprise I could probably enjoy for what it is, and Blade Barrett is awesome.
Now I want Barret to tell Cloud to "Use it." when he's clutching Aerith's dead body

Nomuras probably talking to Team Ninja as we speak bout using that breast physics engine for that one scene
you know the one
I'd rather not set myself up for disappointment. If they announce FF XVI and that's turn based then I'll be very happy. Until then, FF as a turn-based franchise is no more.
World of FF is as "big" a release as a relatively cheap looking spin-off can be. I have no doubt some smaller scale stuff will still be turn based, but mainline titles seems to be moving away from it. FF VIIr would have been the perfect opportunity to return to it, but if the trailer is anything to go by that won't be the case. I know some people are quoting Kitase and all but even if this is a hybrid kind of thing that doesn't satisfy me either since I've yet to play one of those that was better than just average. I'm actually cheering more for a straight up action system than a hybrid.
At any case, I just hope magic is useful here. I don't remember actually ever using summons or magic (besides heal) in KH 1 and 2 since attacking always looked like the better option.

man im glad that they didn't go for the luminous Engine with this game
Looks like with UE4 they can bring this out in a reasonable time - 2017?
Also i can't wait to see Wutai in Unreal Engine 4
Who needs feudal japan/china Assassins Creed

Yeah that's why I was wondering.
Probably yes.
They HAVE to release it 2017 since it's the 20th anniversary. There is really no other date possible, even if they have to rush it.

I remember playing dirge of cereberus and thinking man it's awesome being in midgar and the mansion etc and thinking how great it would have been to explore those areas with todays graphics in FF7.
The trailer has exceeded everything i wanted back then and i for one can't wait until it's released.
Amazing to think the tech demo from 2005 looks crap in comparison.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Looked fantastic. Very nostalgic.
Gameplay looked very meh though, I would imagine it's either a copy of the KH system or the XV Hold down O to do combos system.

Now you are just putting words into people's mouths. No one or very few people are saying they HATE the old system. Some just think it is a bit dated and for others the combat being turn-based isn't an important part of the game. They can enjoy experiencing those memorable battles with a completely different kind of system just fine.

Yeah, and his voice actor is kinda different.

I wanted this to be faithful as possible. But now I want to save Jessie. T-T
I want to see the Chocobo Sage. He basically looked like a traditional Black Mage with facial hair.
I hope they don't try to force realism onto characters, like making him a "normal' person with samey colored clothes. It's a fantasy video game, embrace it.

Coffee Dog is right.
A game is something that has interaction and rules to it. FF7 at its core is a game where one moves around in places, anticipating sudden enemy encounters and dealing with those encounters in turn-based strategy "minigames" and getting relief moments (from these battle situations that could end the game) in town settings making other characters respond to a button press and often letting you to buy changes in game variables that have effect in how the future enemy encounters happen.
The story and how the characters look is not the core of the game. That is the animated movie part on the surface of the game.
Changing the absolute core of the game is making essentially a different game. The animated movie might be somewhat the same but the game is another game. You are welcome to think the animated movie part is the most important thing in it, but don't be surprised if people aren't excited to play another game than what they were hoping to play.
Being "relevant" today quite often means being forgotten in the future.
In the first gif we see a nice amount of the surrounding world. We see people who have been either killed or knocked out. We see people running into a building, so we know there is something in the distance where we can go to. We see a big character waiting for our character who does an impressive jump, landing on the ground and taking a short moment to regain balance, and looking a bit cool in doing so.
We see all this in one single shot, in one single angle.
The new ones:
A guy makes an impressive jump off the train and looks damn cool.
The 1997 version is essentially a John Carpenter to the Jerry Bruckheimer and Zack Snyder of the 2005 and 2015 versions.
Yeah, not digging the "relevancy" and "contemporariness" of the newer versions at all.
Yours,
The Grumpy Old Man Yelling at the Sky

Super excited to fight Dyne in a more action oriented system.
Turk fights should be amazing too.

Same here. I wanna see Hojo and Red XIII! Snow town and the Nibelheim flashback scene! Summons and the Highwind! I'm so curious what this is going to look like in the end.

Barret is badass with his shades.
Has the engine been confirmed to be Unreal 4?

This is some heavy rose titned glasses shit right here.
All that happened in a single shot originally because they were literally moving on a still picture, not a fully 3d environment.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but I really like this post. Some nice detail in FFVII

they could bring out a crisis core Remaster or the demo in 2017 if they its not ready by then
Oh man, I'd kill for this. Hope if VII Remake is the beginning of future remakes and VIII is next.Damn.. I sooooo wish it was VIII not, VII...

OK, FFXV looks really good still, but that's kinda not a good comparison. Compare field shot v field shot and cutscene shot v cutscene shot.
The parts involving characters in cutscenes look extremely good. They don't look as poly decimated as XV characters, and there's a lot of actors in the scene. The hair is sadly like for like between the two right now.
The helmet materials on the shira soldiers looks phenomenal. The wetness shaders on the concrete (and mostly everything else) looks just as good.
The particles actually look like flying sparks. There's loads of them.
The motion blur!!! FFXV doesn't even really have motion blur (right now).
The presentation, at least for cutscenes, is firing on all cylinders right now.
Honestly, regardless whatever in-house tech the two engines share at the moment, or whatever 3rd party tech they do differently: Unreal 4 is doing a better job atm. By a step or two.
It doesn't make that shot any less great.
What...? Not really... They look similar, but I'd say that FFXV has the edge when it comes to character models.
Eh.
Tbh FFXV looks more impressive graphically to me ,but its obviously much closer to release and farther along development than FF7R.
not before kh3 i say ffvii remake 2018
And I wish it was Final Fantasy IX!Damn.. I sooooo wish it was VIII not, VII...
The guys from AVALANCHE looked as "anime" as their original selves, so I wouldn't be too worried about that. Though I do wonder what's up with Barret's sunglasses.
It's also not clear what engine FF7R is on, though it seems they've reused some XV animations in the mean time.
i think it early for 2017 date i say 2018 since kh3 might come out before it
