The game will have 4k and have 60fps modes, like Remake on PS5.

Oh wow they did a complete 180, VIIRemake was a very linear game, this looks like it's a proper open-world (or at least open big zone) RPG.

 

[saintjules]

Regarding the world map.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Tons of different mini games, more than the original they said.

Its not a 180. Thats how the original was set up. Midgar is linear and the game literally becomes open worls once you leave

Yes i've played the original, I meant in terms of how the first remake was compared to this. The open zones are more 'open' than I thought they'd make.

 

[ergem]

The graphics and details are insane considering it’s open world. And you can swim too!

I would say Horizon FW still looks better graphically but this has more complex gameplay systems.

I can’t wait to get lost and explore every corner of the world. Hopefully FFIX Remake will get the same open world treatment!

Impressive when you consider the cutscene/cinematic quality in FF games, the amount of characters, variety in locales and gameplay. Length of the story too.

FFIX Remake won't get this kind of treatment though. Perhaps X would.

Why do you consider it a 180? If that was the original layout wouldnt it make sense for that to be the way this was? If YOU felt it was going to be different thats not them doing a 180.

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

It feels like they were able to figure out what are people's wildest dreams about this game and then decided to do just that and turn it up to eleven.

I can't even believe what I'm seeing. This is the game I've always wanted but never thought someone would actually do.

 

[Champomade]

Looks INSANE

It's like FF7 but in real life

Can you actually jump manually now? At least in battles?

 

[Northeastmonk]

This looks incredible. Much better than Part 1. I want that world map in more Final Fantasy games, but this looks great.

It's a 180 compared to the first game, I thought the sequel would also be a wide linear hall based game but clearly ditching the PS4 hardware has let them make a more realized open world/zone based structure more faithful to the OG.

And yes it's a 180 in my view, that's all.

 

[Lethal01]

not really

With cloud if you hold attack you will do a jump attack to the enemy, TIfa however has an ability that will launch her straight up too, from there you can air dodge.

but also kinda, jump attack would be more accurate.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Open world and Ubi towers! Stealthy chocobo capturing like catching a wild horse in BotW! Such a shift from Remake, but I like it. I'd much rather spend most of my time in the outdoors as opposed to Shin-Ra's dirty factory any day of the week.

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Red13 riding a chocobo ...

It looks funny. That's why.

Hopefully they will later add a PS5 Pro patch down the line.

Game looks fantastic.

I think it's false to assume it was because they ditched the PS4.

 

[Exentryk]

Looks great! Want to buy on PC, but also don't want to wait. Decisions.

 

[Comandr]

Jesus fuck they have some work to do with the lighting. FF7R had some really awful lighting in the slums too.

 

[Hunnybun]

The graphics are insanely impressive.

As a ridiculously zealous Xbox fanboy, it pains me to say this, but this is yet another PS5 exclusive that just wipes the floor with anything Microsoft can offer.

Congratulations to Jim Ryan and the team!

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Looks amazing. Can't believe some are saying it's "PS4 graphics" and with that said, I expect a barrage of still shots thrown my way, but even bull shots won't have that much attention to detail with that many npcs moving around the map, so don't even try it, buddy.

 

[mortal]

I've noticed this issue with a quite few Japanese games. The colors in the daytime are often washed out with bad black levels.

 

[Gambit2483]

No disrespect to FF16 but this is clearly where the A team went for the last 4 years. This game sounds insane.

Thats really not necessary. If XBox games aren't your thing sell it and buy a PS5.

 

[YukiOnna]

Could you Block+Parry like that in REMAKE? I don't remember at all.

 

[ergem]

I don’t think so. Block and parry is new.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

FF7R lowkey trying to become GOTY 2024

 

[Jinzo Prime]

This so much better than the first game it makes it look like a tech demo. I'm sorry for those who paid full price for the first one. The new director Naoki Hamaguchi is really doing it right!

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Sorry for what?? I enjoyed the first game.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Sorry for what?? I enjoyed the first game.

Movement and exploration was too limited for my tastes. Still had vestiges of FF XIII all over it.

 

[mortal]

Nah CBU1 isn't any more A team than CBU3. They had different visions for Final Fantasy, and both can co-exist.

Sorry for what?? I enjoyed the first game.

To be fair, Remake kind of did serve as a tech demo since they were establishing and building up all of the mechanics and ideas that will be further refined in Rebirth and Part 3.
This obviously looks like a much bigger and more dense game as well.

 

[StereoVsn]

I am loving what they are presenting so far. Man, this brings me back to OG FFVII anticipation.

 

[sendit]

All the disrespect to the FF16 team. They butchered the series with that game. Devil May Cry sucks.

Eh. That's not the worst thing and even makes sense to some degree - but I'd prefer more verticality and free movement.

 

[Danjin44]

Could you Block+Parry like that in REMAKE? I don't remember at all.

I remember in Intermission Yuffie could do perfect block. In base game Cloud could with punisher stand and one of weapon had parry ability.

edit: I also we had parry Materia but I never really used that.

Movement and exploration was too limited for my tastes. Still had vestiges of FF XIII all over it.

I don't regret buying FFVIIRemake full price because it was tons of fun and unlike FFXIII it still had towns you could walk around and do quests.

 

[Aenima]

Could you Block+Parry like that in REMAKE? I don't remember at all.

Yes you could do both. If you play in hard mode it becomest the best way to fight alot of bosses.

Just a PS5 at the moment. I sold my Nintendo Bitch last year when I realized I hadn't played on it for about 2 years.

I haven't seriously contemplated getting an Xbox Seriously Sux yet, but that could change once some exclusives arrive.

And I can't really be bothered with a Pee-C, too much hassle and cost for a pretty small increase in actual real world performance.

Honest question, why do you all keep trying to do this? It's entirely transparent every time, nobody believes it and it's just... pointless? Why even pretend?

Just stop.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Imagine Spira recreated to the same standards.

In fact, if you think about the game world of FFX it would be a much easier task than FFVII.

 

[YukiOnna]

Yes you could do both. If you play in hard mode it becomest the best way to fight alot of bosses.

So the difference is they incorporated it as a proper basic action as an option + dodges which frees up a materia slot and adds more movement in battle. Cool.

You have an excellent memory!

 

[Danjin44]

You have an excellent memory!

His right tho, its fine to be hype for game but there is no need to bring fanboysim in to the discussion.

 

[E-Cat]

Can you go standing outside Midgar? Or are you immediately teleported near Kalm when the game begins and there's an invisiwall?

 

[TGO]

You can Fight Me
But I WANT

After they finish this.
Just do it!
