Final Fantasy VII Remake General Discussion Thread [Open Spoilers for Original FFVII ONLY please!]

I got to the payment page before thinking "maybe I should compare them" and realised it was an extra £180 for the figure and carbuncle summon, and I don't collect figures. I thought the soundtrack / art book / steel case would be somewhat different in the 1st Class edition, but nope, so I went with the Deluxe instead.
First thing I thought as well when I saw that, hah
Hot dam Biggs is fine
Charlie Sheen?
At least they got rid of the gratuitous cussing.
The playing as individual characters thing might fuck up my party. I never use Tifa but she looks fun to control so I wonder how the others will end up. I wonder who the funnest to play as will be.
Hopefully my normal Cloud Yuffie Vincent(rip Cid) party is fun.

here we go - perfection!!
Just want to run around Midgar and the world and compare to prerendered bgs. Forget chasing Sephiroth.
This feels like a dream!
I will buy this day one and it will sate me, then I'll be happy to finish the rest of the chapters on my deathbed.
I get where you're coming from and I was right there with you, but tonight's showing has won me over. Perhaps it's all smoke and mirrors, but if the trailer and demo are representative of the final product then I'm a believer. Maybe, just maybe, the magnitude of this project has lit a fire under the staff at Square Enix and they'll do whatever it takes to deliver something worthy of FF7's legacy. That's my hope.
Lol, i havent splurged on a CE like this since Last of Us Post Pandemic... i got the Deluxe FFXV (steelbook) but bought the Play Arts Noctis Separately...
This is gonna look nice next to Noctis lol.
Not surprised to see it. BD1 is working on this game after all..
They've shown nothing outside of Midgar but they've also shown absolutely nothing to indicate any sort of expansion of Midgar making it a 20+ hour game or whatever. Seems like it could go either way but a later reveal of outside Midgar seems more likely imo.
This is worked on by (what was once called) BD1. I am sure there will be a lot of people from FFXIII overlapping in dev team.
Bro
If I would have known this beforehand I would have been even more hype
I don't know if I'd say that - that scene with Sephiroth, those scenes with Jesse on the bike, that evil smoke with Aeris; it's been a bit, but I don't recall those being in the original game. Maybe that's just what makes it a remake? Who knows. That boss battle certainly seemed far more complex too. It'd be wild if they're saving some of the post escape stuff for a reveal at TGS or whatever, because I could believe that they're already giving up 20+ hours based on what I've seen.
Wow. I was extremely skeptical as I really didn't like, and at times hated the last few FF's. Barrett's voice acting still really bugs me, but overall I was super impressed and can't wait now! The combat system seems like a really nice middle ground, as I was afraid it wouldn't ever slow down and get tactical. And dear lord it's gorgeous, my pro awaits thee!
I wouldn't be surprised if Toriyama was involved in some capacity as well. Not the director role of course..
This is the problem my friend..
2 or 3.. I'm afraid they are cutting like 80% of the game. I'm not talking story here but places, open world, towns etc...
God I hope I'm wrong
Well we'll see. Like I said I could see it going either way now but none of those seem like big expansions to me (Sephiroth especially) but from what they've shown so far, if part 1 really is just Midgar then I'd expect a 7 part game lol.
Yeah. XIII's battle system is awesome and my favourite feature was the stagger.
They said they're greatly expanding on Midgar and delving further into the AVALANCHE members among other things for story. The new portions definitely looked like it
They look more like changes that might happen when not making a scene for scene remake rather than padded content meant to expand Midgar to 4 or 5 times its original length. To moi anyway.
Jessie on the motorcycle was the only kind of out there thing. Biggs and Wedge talking to Barret and Sephiroth are close enough to the original, and the Aerith blackdust stuff could be anything.
Faces in the remake are great.comaprison with Old render since it has the most similar angle
Give Aerith her fucking shoulderpads back.
It's just one trailer but it's what they said in interviews many times. And Kitase straight up said this in the conference. 7 parts make no sense for each full game comparable to XIII trilogy.
7 was a joke based on part 1 being only Midgar. 3 parts wouldn't make sense in that case either though.
And they said what in interview many times?
Yeah this is my big fear. If this first part is Midgar, either this is going to be a massive, 4+ part miniseries within the FF brand (and as such take forever to come out) or they're going to cut at huge, huge parts of the game. Midgar was like...15-20% of the original game.
1 - Midgar
2 - To the end of Junon
3 - To the end of Nibelheim
4 - To the end of North Crater
5 - Until Cloud is back
6 - The finale
With no world map.
And then Ff16 afterwards.

Best looking and designed cast in video games.
Dayum they lookin fire
Please no more terrible takes on Nomura's art. This belongs in a museum. :D
Me seeing 'stagger' come up:
I always found staggering an enemy in FFXIII to be really satisfying, it was great to see it return.
Dayum they lookin fire
Stupid sexy FFVII cast. They look so good.
(...Barret has more cleavage that Tifa. What a world.)
Yep, ha.
Okay good I was like "what how would they do 7 lol" and I mean there's no real precedent for how 3 parts would or wouldn't make sense since they're expanding midgar like that. Same rules my apply to the next portions is why I don't really know.
And that them delving further into stories like that and expanding.
Tifa and Aerith my HS crush. Still looking fine
Dayum they lookin fire
Below is the official text. I think there are two ways to interpret it. Either there are two discs for just this episode, or that there are two discs for the whole game and episode 1 is on the first disc.
What do you think ?
"Remaking Final Fantasy VII has allowed us to dive much deeper into the world and its characters than ever before," said producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The game design was optimized for this title as well, and we anticipate two Blu-Ray discs' worth of gameplay content. The first game in this project expands on the story of Midgar and is such an elaborate retelling that it's become a solid standalone game in its own right."
posting also here, there's an easter egg that's a direct reference to crisis core and Genesis/Angeal...
at 5:09 you can see a poster of Banora white and a apple figure

The wording is vague enough that I can see multiple readings of it, and then there's the "lost in translation" factor.
Really hoping we get a solid answer before the week is through.
K well no way Midgar itself is 2 discs lol. A multipart game with each part being 2 discs is possible, or the complete game across 2 discs is also possible, but a single part 1 of just Midgar across two discs??
Though this does ruin my dumb joke fantasy about having separate individual blu rays for both Knights of the Round and Supernova.
You reminded me about bahamut. The summons are going to look insane!
