I don't think this is the interview I was looking for but it's fucking hard to find. It actually says "some" scenes from the teaser will appear in the game proper, not all.

Xenosaga · Jan 6, 2020

We already kinda saw one similar scene from 2015 reveal CG and TGA trailer

2015

TGA

Oh yeah! Good catch. I think that's part of the reactor explosion but maybe the scene was shortened for the demo?

My GODDDDDDD what even is this back and forth CG cutscene discussion? lol

We can't play the demo yet. We need to argue about pointless things then.

demu · Jan 6, 2020

Day 6 without looking at the leaks. 56 more to go. How?

Shadow_FFVI · Jan 6, 2020

Final Fantasy VII Remake at E3 2015.
These guys do a great job at explaining just why it was so special.

Wait. I've got it.

Ahem.

Cloud should be with Tifa, not Aerith.

Proceed.

Oh boy, that's hard. Cloud should be with Jessie, not with Tifa? It's probably even dumber than that.

It's Cloud should be with Reeves.

To be fair, literally all statements are dumber than that.

Estarossa · Jan 6, 2020

I'm thinking news should be up at midnight east coast or west coast US.

ZeroDS · Jan 6, 2020

Man hopefully someone drops a hot take or something to save us from the 50th shipping discussion this thread has had

They've already updated. Just a handful of DLCs and microtransactions for some games.

You gear up for the new Monster Hunter expansion on PC Friday. Life will get better :D

Palmer should be with Tiny Bronco, not Shin-Ra Power Company Truck.

LordofPwn · Jan 6, 2020

If there's not a state of play soon we'll get a trailer and demo at the end of the month for the anniversary.

TheJollyCorner · Jan 6, 2020

Remember when Square did all that awesome stuff for FFVII's 10th and 20th anniversaries?

... *crickets*

Xenosaga · Jan 6, 2020

Apparently Kitase asked Nomura to design FF7 20th anniversary logo... but it never got ended being used because they changed the development in-house and went quite that year.

Deleted member 437 · Jan 6, 2020

Man, sometimes I wonder what ff7 developed by CC2 would have looked like today.

Probably way way darker in tone and visual style I'm assuming.

They suck at anniversaries in general lol I just remembered the 30th Anniversary livestream and all they were doing was showing FF-themed forks, cups, and alcohol lmfaooo I was so heated

Brought even further down because of that fake "All FF games from I - XIII will be ported to PS4" rumour =((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

I don't think it would have been much different from 2015, a bit more polished and better character model/hair I guess.

It's pretty crazy how different the current visual is compared to CC2's 2015, not just about graphical fidelity and lighting, but overall visual tone.

Perfo · Jan 7, 2020

Is there still no news about an official OST release and all the composers involved in this? I think this is a first for a main FF to not have any news or credits in regards less than two months from release. In similar situations in the past we already had names, theme songs officially released, limited edition OSTs up for preorder. What's going on here? T_T

Yes, I agree, the OST situation is weired and worrying to an extend. I hope SE does not pull a KHIII here by not releasing the OST.

snausages · Jan 7, 2020

There is some sort of soundtrack preview LP thing coming out on the 31st.

What a disaster that anniversary event ended up being.

Tornak · Jan 7, 2020

I'm starving here, S-E please let us eat.

Or at least tell us when we're eating.

Mikch85 · Jan 7, 2020

January 31st would be great. Roughly a month before release, and anniversary of the original game's release in Japan. Of course that leak might have changed their plans, but I'm not sure, the silent treatment seems to be working.

SOLDIER · Jan 7, 2020

Since y'all are desperate for discussion, here's something I thought up:

As a T (PG-13) rated game, they are allowed to say "Fuck" once, or a variation of (fucking, fucked, etc).

Who says it, and when?

Barret, just as you enter the Shinra Staircase and look up

Chaserjoey · Jan 7, 2020

The silence has been broken but man I don't wanna read the replies to this tweet lol

The Last One · Jan 7, 2020

They finally posted something lol

Edit: Beaten. I also don't wanna read the replies. Avoiding it like hell.

Tornak · Jan 7, 2020

Lmao, just say something even if the demo isn't releasing anytime soon, this is getting silly.

demu · Jan 7, 2020

I'm starting to feel like the demo was never meant to be released before the actual release of the game. :/

LowParry · Jan 7, 2020

It has a pre-purchase button at the end of the demo. It's meant to be out. But because of the leak, who knows now. SE could get cold feet.

Does it actually say "pre-order" or "pre-purchase" anywhere in the demo? I just saw the title screen and it says "purchase", which doesn't necessarily suggest a pre-release demo.

January 31st is still a good possibility, but I'm getting impatient.

Turin · Jan 7, 2020

I'm resigned to the possibility they might cancel the demo release.

Cannon_Fodder · Jan 7, 2020

Has a company ever commented on a leak like this? Maybe I'm forgetting something, but I can't think of any instance where a official PR statement addressed these kind of leaks. At most, you might get devs or publishers expressing their personal disappointment/frustration.

It's at the end of the demo with pre-purchase. Or so people claim. I haven't seen it cause I refuse to watch a demo, when we should be playing it!
