Let's not forget my very old prediction about a huge plot moment in the game...
I think that none of the Compilation original characters should show up at all in the Remake. Expanding on characters like Scarlet, Biggs, Wedge, etc is fine but keep those Compilation people out.
Beach episode with the bros?
I think I'm just beginning to be disappointed at the idea that this is a Remake of a game I already know a lot about, through the original and the compilation.
Like, with this game I saw designs like Ardyn and Gentiana and I'm looking forward to hearing and seeing more about them. It's not nearly the same in the Remake.
It's not like VII is massively nostalgic to me either.

We have footage already:
Wait, we can see Prompto dying in one gif while Ignis is next to him, but in the other gif we see Ignis dying while Prompto is next to him.
Time travel confirmed?

Hahaha do you think I could be right?
Yes. I've done it myself. And you can test it for yourself with the Platinum Demo. It looks exactly like the GIF with the coerl.
OOOOOOOHH
I'd love to see this.
I made the gif with the Coeurl for demonstration purposes but it actually doesn't track where the enemy is. It only fires where the enemy was when you tapped it. Not sure if you're confusing it.
It's whatever button targets but isn't the lock target button. I hated the PD scheme, lol, so I can't remember which one it was. I want to say R1. You have to hold it while you're casting the spell, but it's quick and it was a huge relief for me as well.

Your fanfic will never be true
Hahaha it's not a fanfic!!! It's a prediction I have based off everything we've seen so far.
Our @Infest did this VO comparison of the recent (semi-)master footage:
FINAL FANTASY XV : English vs. Japanese Dub (Master Version) EXTENDED
FINAL FANTASY XV : English vs. Japanese Dub (Master Version) EXTENDED
I can't see them exploring something like that in the story, to be honest. Not even getting into the theory itself, just tonally.

Hahaha I don't mean like forbidden love. I mean like... there will be a huge moment where Noctis and Luna will both find out they are related.
As someone who watches mostly subs for anime (other than the occasional incredible dub like with Champloo and Bebop) and even some anime without any dubs, listening to this without the video just highlights that the English localization is pretty damn good.
They play off of each other pretty well. Gladio is still the biggest issue for me.
Also, the newspaper scene too lol. They don't sound upset at all. Are they upset in Japanese? No idea, but they sure sound like it.
after that video i don't really feel it.... don't know why..

pinball rpg looks decent.
This sounds super dumb to me.
Wow, it's weird saying this but I kinda prefer the English dub to the Japanese (at least in this comparison video).
Wasn't this guy exposed as a hater spreading bad info about the game?
Yeah this is a thing about the dubs I noticed while watching both. They pretty much handle themselves the same in terms of acting, with the only real differences being that Ignis in the Jp dub is a bit better and the mixing in the Jp dub is a ton better than the En dub. In fact that's my only real issue with the English dub. The mixing doesn't really work well for outside areas. It feels like theres no real distance between people when they talk.
That said, this video cemented that I'll be sticking w/ the English Dub for at least my first playthrough
I'm surprised so many people prefer the english dub. I personally will play the game with japanese voices of course and I actually prefer every single actor of the cast. However I also really like the english Ardyn. And maybe I'll give the german dub another try for my new game+ playthrough.
I think it might have been that he was right in some respects but was putting everything as negative a light as possible? Hard to say. Certainly hope it doesn't end up as bad as he was painting it as.
It seems like Japanese + German subs is the way to go for us:
I remember FFX's German subs saying something completely different at times than the English VO and I didn't konw why back then. Now I know it was translated from the Japanese script directly and not from the English.
I'm still thinking about it, but I'm slowly warming up to the thought of playing with JP VO. I just hope that every line of random banter is subtitled too.
Hmm so what do we have confirmed for summons and what would people like to see?
Confirmed:
Ramuh
Leviathan
Titan
Carbuncle
Ones I'd like to see:
Shiva (all but confirmed I guess)
Bahamut (this is probably a shoe in)
DOOMTRAIN
Alexander
Diabolos
Odin
Granted, Tabata said there weren't that many summons so I suppose I shouldn't expect to see anymore than the top two out of those I'd like to see.

I hope the portuguese subtitles (if there are any) are also translated directly from japanese.
I'm assuming it will be, because of all the recent changes to the script. If they had to wait for the english localization first, that would probably be a bigger time waste than getting people who can do it from the original.

Not gonna happen. You should have prepared yourself for that from the start. Like it or not, compilation is apart of this universe and will be tightly integrated with this version of FF7, far more than the OG FF7 was.
Do it Hexadrive!
At this point I think it's dead. would need a drastic remake at this point. Unless they make it a small downloadable title.
Obviously, much of that is getting retconned as much as some of the stuff in the original game will be tactfully(hopefully) retconned.
I'm sure some very small things will be changed from compilation to make game compatible sense(i doubt we'll see any genesis appearances in the flashbacks of nibelheim for example), but they will be following the compilation as a basic template for events and scenarios,characters designs and such far more than attempting to recreate the 1997 original 1:1 is my point, which Nomura already said they were not doing.
I just want a new FF7 that makes use of current technology, i don't care personally how they do it as long as they don't listen to fans about it

Ha ha, same!
That was the mobile one with the Turks, right?
Thinking about that comment about traveling by train in the second half thus making it linear, does that mean that we lose access to the Regalia and it's ability to fly? I confess it does sort of worry me that we could encounter a Xenogears situation, though I don't necessarily mind a focus towards the story.
Before Crisis did seem pretty cool. The Turks are a very interesting group.
I agree with the ending sentiment although he's already confirmed the crossdressing and goofy off kilt humor will be present so I'm sure he's keeping some awareness of the fans. Of course, that doesn't mean it'll become Feedback Fantasy VII.
Tone is one of Nomura's strong suits when he wants it to be. That'll play a key part in how he brings everything together.

I have no reason in particular to feel that way, but the instant impression it gave me was: "Regalia gets rekt, bros take the train to continue their journey, get the Regalia v2 with the ability to fly torwards the end, and the game allows you to revisit any area at that point"
Okay that could definitely work then. Like they get it back from the shop and get told they made a few adjustments. But the important question is: is this a regular train or Doomtrain?
Just watched the 2013 trailer on a whim, which made me a bit sad. Granted, that gameplay sequence is clearly all cgi or rough test stuff. Hell, the whole trailer is pretty much that. I'd completely forgotten about that digital map that shows up when Noctis is climbing the ships.
It's been said before, but Nomura sure knows how to make a compelling trailer.

Kojima and Nomura have a gift in that regard, both can make excellent trailers and games that are fun to play.. Storywise well heh
