Where is Cid?

 

[YukiOnna]

JP VA trailer


Cool

 

[iorek21]

29th?

Does that mean Rebirth will only be 2 years old in 2028?

 

[graywolf323]

Covers "to the midpoint" of the original game.

I have a feeling it might at least go to Cloud falling into the life stream

 

[ssringo]

Actually looks good. Just hope it doesn't have a plethora of slow everything down moments (forced walking, squeezing through openings, etc) that the first part did. Absolutely ruined that game for me.

That Sephiroth part was likely the Kalm flashback

Probably but both their HP was high indicating Cloud isn't a low level mook like he should be. In fact he has higher HP than at other "current day" parts. Since these aren't simple remakes it could just be illustrating that this version of Cloud is actually much stronger than the OG version of Cloud was.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

After FFXVI, this is a breath of fresh air.

 

[envyzeal]

We saw:

WEAPON
Cait Sith
Vincent Valentine
Marle
Andrea Rhodea
Zack
Kyrie
Junon and Rufus
Sister Ray
Midgar Zolom
Bottomswell
Alexander
Odin
Kujata
Dune buggy
Chocobo colors/skills
Gold Saucer and mini games
Flashback stuff

FUCK BRUHS

meanwhile: not a real final fantasy

WTF is the midpoint? This just confuses me more.

 

[Magusx]

wow just wow

Just like the Zack stuff, it could be more:

Time Travel/Alternate timeline shenanigans

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Looks amazing.. unfortunately looks like it has all this kingdom hearts shit still..world's colliding crap.

Who cares, join us in the reunion.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Can't find the twin pack pre order anywhere yet.

 

[FF:Enhanced_Reality]

I want to love this game but I've seen the 4Chan leak and it's looking more and more like it's all true and really don't like the idea of that ending. I'm not sure the journey is worth the heartbreak.

 

[PCFanboy64]

I'm thinking the end of disk 1, her death

 

[YukiOnna]

 

[German Hops]

On 2 disc ??

 

[YukiOnna]

 

[Markio128]

The amount of content in the trailer is nuts!

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I'm thinking the end of disk 1, her death

They showed Weapon, so possible to the Northern Crater and maybe a bit after. But hard to say.

 

[adamsapple]

Good cover, Zack being in the front and center (front and right) means he will be a big part of the story.

Also, worth noting.

The normally 1 year exclusivity window has been dropped to 3 months. Looks like they're gonna bring the PC version out quicker, or maybe even get it ready for Switch 2, or maybe even a double pack for Xbox by late 2024.

 

[Nonehxc]

Dafuq.

I was expecting sooner or later a launch date trailer with the usual flashes and fades to blacks and not much in the sense of showing...

This is like stuffing your face with 3 star Michelin food like they were gonna ban them tomorrow.

Well played, Square.

 

[Hugare]

Man, FF VII R may end up being one of the best trilogies in gaming

I loved Part I and this looks much, much better. So much content.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Man you can clearly see the scope has been amplified in comparison to the first part.

Looks so fucking insane. Damn Square-Enix...

What else would you expect, since the world didn't open up after you leave Midgar?


OT:

Day fking 1

 

[Thief1987]

From Q&A

Final Fantasy VII Remake showed the story up until the escape from Midgar, but what point does Final Fantasy VII Rebirth take us up to?

Nomura: We have mentioned this a few times before, but the order in which you can explore the locations is not the same as the original Final Fantasy VII, and there are some shifts in the order. For example, Wutai, one of the major locations, is not part of the route in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and will be visited in the next one. Although there are some changes in the order of the locations, the locations depicted in this title extend up to "The Forgotten Capital," where the greatest fate of Final Fantasy VII awaits you.

 

[Elder Legend]

Kind of crazy that FF7 Rebirth comes out on February 29th. That is a leap year and it happens only every 4 years. What are the chances of that? That is basically March 1st of any other regular year but the leap year.

 

[kazuyamishima]

Final Fantasy VII Remake (PS4 + PS5) has sold 7m units WW.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

So the official trailer on the Playstation and FF YouTube pages are again only 1080p like the trailer released a few months ago.

However this time, the State of Play stream was in 4k, so if someone rips the trailer section out and uploads it we'll at least have a 2160p version to oggle at.

 

[35cent]

I'm more interested in this now. That actually doesn't look too bad. I still feel slightly burned from the first one but I'll definitely keep a tab on it.

 

[mckmas8808]

16 is more and more like just a spinoff for the FF series as sony really wants SE to make one. Not sure if rebirth will be reviewed better, but FF fans will likely be liking this way more than 16.

If that's the case then we are in for a HUGE hit. Considering FF16 sold 3 million at launch and got a Metacritic score of 87%.

 

[proandrad]

I'm ready for the nerd rage when

Spoiler

they end up killing Tifa instead.

This looks SOOOOO much better.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Yup, why the hell are they releasing it in 1080p when there's a glorious 2160p version!?!?!?

 

[Zekra Dezivad]

Bought, already bought. Give it to me

 

[NeroDaGod]

I do hope by the end of all this they give us some sort of dlc or functionality where we can fully control Sephiroth throughout.

 

[YukiOnna]

Nomura says Demo and Stage at TGS for FF7R. Not sure if that was confirmed already or not

 

[shenmue mugen]

Amazing!!!

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

 

[Die Namek Ability]

That has quelled sooo many of my concerns. I am full on back on hype.

 

[Die Namek Ability]

Bet this game ends at staby staby. If you know you know.

 

[Fools idol]

if they remake FF9 next and it gets this level of quality... man. I will be happy.

 

[Thief1987]

Nomura says Demo and Stage at TGS for FF7R. Not sure if that was confirmed already or not

Two playable episodes: Cloud and Sephiroth flashback and exploration around Junon

 

[Madflavor]

Holy shit that was a perfect trailer! I know which week I'm taking off work.

 

[Roni]

I still think it'll end at Temple of the Ancients

Gotta be, no biggest cliffhanger for them to do it. But watch them subvert our expectations and alienate all first time players.

 

[SantaC]

Wish it wasnt a part 3. .

 

[Minsc]

Absolutely going to pre-order at some point. Looks fun as all hell.

 

[balls of snow]

Now THIS is final fantasy.

JP VA trailer


Cool

FFVII Rebirth Collector's Edition info added to the OP. Thanks!

This is looking like Remake to Rebirth is gonna feel like the same jump between Assassin's Creed and Assassin's Creed 2.

You can see SO many refinements, new elements, characters, areas, enemies, new story elements, old story elements.

Very impressed from a gameplay design/modular point of view. I was initially fearful that part 2 would either have completely untouched gameplay from Remake, OR it would be totally different. This exhibit showcases how the new elements are built onto old ones:

- The Synergy attacks look to be a BIG draw and something Square is proud of, and it got it's start in the Intermission DLC with Yuffie and Sonon.

- The boxing mini game from OG Gold Saucer utilizes the chibi boxy artstyle they used for Fort Condor in Intermission.

- This one made me go crazy, but they even incorporated elements from as far back as Final Fantasy Fucking IX with different colored Chocobos apparently having different abilities for overworld traversal.

- they seem to be incorporating Remake featured characters. Marle had the opening line in the trailer, Kyrie Canaan was shown in Midgar, and Andrea Rhodea possibly performing at Gold Saucer? I could easily see the dancing becoming a full fledged mini game in GS. It seems like they're not throwing out ANYTHING designed from Remake, but the additions are INSANE.
