I'll say it again, the demo has a "Purchase" button on the main menu.

The files are already leaked, I don't think there would be much reason to do this.
It is a bit strange that if we were to get that demo in january or even February that they would be okay with all that stuff in it though. Did they not realize that? Or was the demo intended for after the release? This was going to happen regardless.
At this point just releasing the demo wouldn't change anything in terms of leaks and would probably be in everyone's best interest.
...thx dude
We don't discuss remake spoilers in here, there's q spoiler thread for that.

Definitely a lot. I believe the whole subtitle script for the game, though I may be mistaken on that.
They typically post stuff at 06:01am PT, 07:01am PT and 08:01am PT.
Yeah, this is weird now. The social media for the Remake is dead silent for more than a week now.
FFVII Remake has been cancelled. Between the KH3 leaks and now this, Nomura has had enough of our shit.
Yeah, I'm with you. It doesn't matter if they clean it up now and remove those files, after all they already leaked. But I could see the company (or the people in charge) thinking otherwise and thus demanding to remove that stuff. But then: That's just a silly guess of mine. We have no idea what they're thinking and planning.
Theres literally two in the demo alone. Lots of JRPGs have anime/CG cutscenes and costume changes as well.
I bet there won't be tons of CGi. In Kingdom Hearts III case all of the CGi across the game (save for the ending) Sora doesn't use his keyblade. Unfortunetely Cloud's Sword is always on his back so it can't be avoided.
How so? I was just theorising but I'm genuinely curious if that is indeed the case based on anything that's been shown to us so far!
in the data mining there's placeholder images with dates only as recent as June from what i've seen and lots of placeholder stuff from back in March of 2019, not to mention a lot of WIP images. there's no way this demo is a latest build cause there's no way they'd be able to finish the WIP stuff in a few weeks before it goes gold)
Many JRPG's have costume changes despite having CG/anime cutscenes. Hell even Final Fantasy XIII had differing weapon designs but had CG cutscenes with characters using their default costume/weapon. Early on, Snow wears this weird coat that has a bear design on his back, but it goes to default during pre-rendered or CG cutscenes.
And then of course there's games like the Tales of series where you can run around in a bikini wearing a giant pig mask with shades on top and then it'll transition to an anime cutscene with your default look. It's not a big deal. They're not gonna be like "ah shit we can't pre-render this because of weapon design changes"
They clearly care for this now though since they made Sora attack Davy Jones in the CG with his bare hands lol
So one example= "they clearly care for this now"? It was probably much easier to direct than having Sora use a keyblade, Donald casting magic, and Goofy using his shield, esp. considering how flashy everything is in regular gameplay
Also, Sora uses his default keyblade during the pre-rendered ending scene
I mean, it's not a coincidence that the only action sequences Sora doesn't wield his Keyblade are the CGi ones.
they usualy make sora use the kingdom keyblade for cg, since you can change the keyblade design on the go its not that jarring
Yes but this just in openings and endings since those were usually the only CGi we used to get in the games. Kingdom Hearts III though had a bunch of CGi across the game and Sora only use his keyblade in the OP and ending.
That's literally the only action-packed CG cutscene in the game tho. And like I said, the ending pre-rendered cutscene shows Sora using his default keyblade. If they really cared about consistency they wouldn't have him use the default stuff in the ending either. They used punches in the Pirate cutscene because it was easier to animate.
But I said this in my initial post? The point is, they avoided to show his keyblade in CGi cutscenes in KH III save for the ending. They can't avoid to show Cloud's sword nor his currently equipped materia in his weapon.
Well in general the keyblade is never shown until Sora makes it appear out of thin air, and none of the CG cutscenes are action packed aside from the Pirates cutscene. Goofy, Donald, and Sora punching is far easier to animate and direct than Sora using a keyblade, Donald casting magic, and Donald hitting with his shield.
I can't imagine them randomly caring about consistency now.
And also a reminder, a CG cutscene doesn't have to include playable characters, either.
Yeah, actually they didn't show any CGi in trailer besided the opening, right? I'm expecting CGis without the main characters tbh (save for a few). Still not expecting tons of CGi anyway.
I think it will only be weird if there's nothing this week.
The more I think about it, yeah I wouldn't put it past them, maybe to keep further people from doing the same and circulating the hidden stuff.
Just release it Square.
Are you talking about KH3? If so, yeah all the trailers showed was parts of the opening, like half a second of the "Let It Go" cutscene, and 5 seconds of Kairi talking to Axel. You definitely wouldn't think it would have over 40 minutes of CGI based off of the trailers.
As for FFVIIR I'm not expecting a ton of CGI either, maaaybe like 20 minutes' worth (with probably 10 of that being the ending). But it makes you wonder why this game is 2 discs, considering the fact that KH3 has over 45 mins of pre-rendered CG scenes and uses the same engine and it's 1 disc.
Edit: oh KH3 only has 1 language option? If FFVIIR releases with multiple selectable languages that's probably what's taking up a ton of space
I was talking about VII Remake. FF VII has multiple languages and Dubs.
"I randomly got to play it". Yea, right. Randomly came across a CFW PS4 with the ELF file on it. Yep.
Ohhh whoops!!
Well, the demo has a CG cutscene for the opening and another one for the sector explosion.
It was also stated in an interview that the footage in the teaser trailer from 2015 will also be in the game
Could you find the quote, at your convenience? Curious.
