It's fake but the Mayor in Shinra was always named Domino.

I never realized before now that the plate the company destroys is right next to one that is completely unpopulated on the top layer. That's a fun subtle way of showing how evil they really are - they could have just baited Avalanche over or something.
Really hope we get to visit the upper Sector 7 plate in the remake, we didn't really get to see many of the people living up there in the original.
The reactor labels really make the pixelation of 0505 or 0404 contrast against all the detail of the rest of the city. The detail is amazing though. The roads all interconnect, under city is visible, sector 3 is powered with no lights in building windows, section 4 has a small section populated. So much thought, feeling and work put into that render. really makes me look forward to the game.
Apparently Engadget's preview went up but quickly went down. Apparently Impressions are positive but very strange title to the article if so: "So far, 'Final Fantasy VII Remake' seems alright | Engadget"
This was the link before it went down: https://www.engadget.com/2020/02/28/final-fantasy-7-remake-preview/
This is the dude who mentioned it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD9aSaDGHR0

I'm most interested in Brad Shoemakers impressions, he hasn't been a fan of FF since VI and rarely talks about JRPGs, but he seemed pleasantly surprised by what he played/saw at E3. If they can get people like him on board then 10 million and 90 opencritic is a real possibility.
Do you have a link to a video where he talks about it?
Both that and the previous titles seem a bit loaded for an impressions piece don't they?

No, i can't even remember if it was on a bombcast or on their E3 coverage (where they have like ten hours of video). It wasn't a major segment or anything, he just mentioned that the game looked better than he thought it would, but again that could just be because his expectations for 3D FF games are low.

Now it's time to use AI to upscale the image >:)
(and alternatively upscale the lo-res tower text from a lower sample resolution, then paste it on the new upscale)
I posted on reddit as well, and this was a comment: "Someone on Twitter screenshot it. It said "Final Fantasy VII Remake is not a disaster yet, but Square still refuses to show off the games downtime" which probably means the side quests and mini-games and all that."
Opinions are fine, but but this seems like a hot-take and almost stupid, unless I am misunderstanding. Why would Square's PR decisions impact the quality of the game? What does this have to do with it being or not being a disaster? Something is lost in translation I guess, so we'll see.

I expecting previews from people who will hate the game on the slightest deviation from the main story anything they add is just filler. It will be on a star wars level.

Imagine in X years or so when they release an new version of this image with Sister Ray jutting out of Shinra Tower... Damn.

I'm less worried about that because E3 impressions were so positive, they seem to like the changes that have been made. I'm worried that the reviewer will play the game for 25-40 hours, enjoy the hell out of it, but talk about how it's a shame that it's not a "Complete game" in his review and give it an 8 instead of a 9 that he normally would give a game of that quality.
I still just think it's going to be a not too massive action RPG. A really good one, but not anything close to a world changing title like FFVII was. There is this burden of the legacy this name brings and any game which is just 'a video game' is always going to seem like it's just 'alright' in comparison.
I've tempered my expectations long ago. I think the game will be fine and I think people are going to be upset it doesn't come close to making them feel like the original game did. I mean, it is just Midgar.

I'm sorry but this is just bullshit gaming rag nonsense. "oh sorry we broke embargo and just happened to have a loaded headline in the process. Ooooooops.... Sucker"
I was trying to be subtle about it! I didn't want to be labelled with the "oh you're saying the clickbait word because it's negative" XD
Even if they meant it as positive, it's just irritating. How many previews do you think these guys write every year? They know when the embargo is up. Oh well.
So actually, the original title was "Final Fantasy Vii Remake is not a disaster yet, but Square still refuses to show off the games downtime."I posted on reddit as well, and this was a comment: "Someone on Twitter screenshot it. It said "Final Fantasy VII Remake is not a disaster yet, but Square still refuses to show off the games downtime" which probably means the side quests and mini-games and all that."

It was changed to "Final Fantasy VII remake seems alright".
But then it was quickly taken down.
Aaay they still figuring out what title will garner them dem clicks.
Is Engadget legit or are they typical for that sort of thing?
I bet the premature release is somehow related to the fact that it's a leap year. Maybe their system works in a weird way.
I was just joking.. game could be a mess and engadget could be right lol.
I mean "FFVII is not a disaster yet" doesn't sound like he enjoyed the preview.
I want Square to make a Yakuza-style game in one of the city's sectors. Fuck, considering how dense the sectors are, the game wouldn't even encompass an entire sector. But I don't care, I want it! Just fucking hire Nagoshi and let him do his magic lol.So somebody posted this on reddit, this site: https://www.sfsymphony.org/Buy-Tickets/2019-20/FINAL-FANTASY-VII-REMAKE-Orchestra-World-Tour

Turks game in that style would be pretty awesome to be honest
Eh
Cloud: *finishes story* And that's nibelheim incident.
Tifa: Hey Cloud you alright you don't seem like yourself? *hands him a snickers* Better?
Cloud: My life is a lie.
You're not you when you're hungry grab a snickers.

Poor bastard.
Having said that, I'm reading all of this.
I'll give their site a click when it goes up though.
That sounds amazing. What the hell is up with the article title? The article itself reads very, very positive!
I actually feel like the title got chosen based on the conclusion at the end of the article. The editor has some doubts when it comes to side quests and the downtime parts of the game, the stuff you do (or can do) outside the main narrative. Mostly just because they weren't able to see those parts while playing the preview demo. But outside of that they seemed to like it a lot. Hearing that the world feels lively and such is music to my ears. Looks like they did good translating that from the original to the remake.
Sounds like a really positive preview despite him being skeptical about downtime which I could understand since their wasn't any but do demos usually include side quests? Nonetheless I'm excited about what was said.
Hopefully we get another trailer this week hopefully focus more on the side stuff.
As for that preview I am glad it is positive but nitpicking over the lack of side missions and downtime in the demo they played was like they had to find something negative to say. In most previews side content rarely gets mentioned.

The comments about downtime sound like this is something he was looking for / questioning prior to the experience, but didn't find and felt the need to mention.
Honestly, he has a good point. There hasn't been a ton of talk in general about it other than the brief mention of sidequests.

How..... just.... HOW!!
HOW THE HELL they managed to render this ridiculous amount of details.
FFVIIR project is seriously nothing but high quality in every way.
I don't think there is any problem with him mentioning that in the article itself....
I think most people are having issue with the headline.
