Ahh ok, youre arguing against the imaginary character in your head rather than what she actually is, got it.

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

She literally spends half of her scenes in the original game running around flapping her arms like a stupid bird.
I feel like Yuffie's going to be a great playable character. I can already see her being very versatile after looking at how Cloud's nearly helpless in long-range situations and Barret is more like a ranged tank. Yuffie could easily be a master of both agile melee attacks and medium ranged attacks if they design her that way.
Wow I had no recollection of this. Is the implication that Reeve is a perv with mini Cait Sith's spying on the Honey Bee Inn?
I guess it could also be for Shinra to use as leverage on people.
Makes a lot of sense - this interview was conducted just as FFVIIR was being greenlit, if I remember correctly.
This is what I was thinking of - have the game did into this stuff, canonise it, and maybe explore the ramifications.
This is actually cut or obscured in the original but there is an included scene in the Honeybee Inn that's the same as this, with Reeve's parents talking about how their son put them up there and the mini cait sith bouncing around.
You people that want the compilation stuff need to get help
Genesis should be buried as deep as humanly possible
Genesis should be buried as deep as humanly possible
It's not cut. And it's only really obscured because youre looking through a keyhole. The scene is in there in it's entirety
i want wutai war to be in this game as a flasback, with zack and yuffie and i want that to be very dramatic, bloody and heavy, very different of how it is in crisis core
Congrats you just killed the planet, are you happy with yourself?
Anyone disliking Yuffie is a confirmed badtaster. She has the two most pure scenes in the game (cloud cheek kiss and crying on cloud)
Still, deep lore.
There are two or three scenes with them, I think that one specifically is a totally blacked out screen for some reason though, not just the keyhole like the others.
Still, deep lore.
Wait, so Reeve actually set his parents up at the Honeybee Inn then there's a mini Cait Sith watching them, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Well I guess it could just be, like, a toy one that he gave them that doesn't have cameras or anything.
I think there'll be more than 2 ATB slots further into the game don't you? Summons will probably cost 3-4 ATB slots.
Maybe you're right though and they just cost a lot more MP than normal magic.
Yeah, I know people wanna know. I'm the same.
The main problem imo, to peek behind the curtain for a sec, is there are two types of interview with most Japanese developers:
1) You get an interview through email, and it goes through multiple layers of PR, Marketing and Branding people in multiple countries, plus translation, before it reaches the subject - they might tweak phrasing, they might take a question out entirely because they don't like it, etc. Then when the person answers, they write an answer and it then goes through a translator again, and the answer winds its way back through the same system (and god knows if it gets changed, too).
2) Or there's an event, meaning the person you're after is either flown out to the SE offices near you or you happen to be in town somewhere they are, like TGS or E3 or whatever and you can have a chat face-to-face. Obviously PR and stuff is still involved, but you can have a more natural back-and-forth this way.
This varies from company to company if I'm honest - like, with Capcom, in my experience it's a touch easier generally to say "yo, I have a couple of questions for Ono" and get them sent and back within like a week with seemingly very little interference (but of course their PR and marketing are going to be looking along the way). With Square, again, being honest, I've had relatively low-impact interview questions to Yoko Shimomura yanked just because they didn't like the sound of them. It's just part of the PR/media dance, you have to find a way to get the information you want through whatever artificial barriers are raised. It's no bad blood, it's just part of the game and people doing their jobs. This exists with Western developers too, but obviously when you have a shared language it's easier to trade business cards at an event and then reach out to them directly (which PR dislike intensely, but I digress) if you want to talk about something that's not a specific topic.
The problem is, #2 only really happens if that subject has a big enough project for a pub like SE to put them out there. You can reach out and ask for an Ito interview, but given that he's not working on a currently announced project there's no guarantee it'd be accepted anyway - but it also means if it was you'd almost certainly be limited to an email Q&A (which what I'm getting at is always lower quality/less interesting/raw/honest), the chances of catching up with him in person are minimal.
I did try to get a chance to chat to him around FF12 and FF9 re-releasing back when both those first hit PS4, but no luck on either front, sadly. I'm the guy who asked Shinji Hashimoto if Ito was still at SE in 2015, though, and at that time Hashimoto-san said he was still there and was working on a proposal for a new project. I don't think that's FF16, though, before anybody jumps to conclusions.
So yeah. That's it. That's the thing.
Regarding "Stances" that people who watched the press demo, i am super interested in it and there is a few aspects i'd like them throw around to spice up things, like:
-this is a new type of Materia, one good way to expand on an already existing system;
-there's more variety than just light/heavy attacks, maybe AoE/crowd control, magic-oriented and so on;
-you can find 2-4 stances materia for each character through the game (it's a small number sure, but they have to save some for future titles lol);
-i would like if you can only equip 1 stance materia and it also grants passive stats bonuses, that would be a good way to differentiate playstyles among players;

"Omg i'm getting the deluxe edition. I'm getting the deluxe edition, period. Period. "
*First class edition pops up*
"Ok nvm i'm getting that one"
LOL
Do people unironically like reaction videos
You could already make some of the existing materia into stances maybe (e.g. long range, cover)
She will most likely be a ranged character and throw big shurikens as basic attacks
Melee:
Cloud
Tifa
Nanaki
Cid
Cait Sith
Ranged:
Barret
Vincent
Yuffie
Would be cool if she could switch between ranged and melee, considering she whacks people with close ranged attacks in some of her limit breaks.
OP
OP
Yeah, it would be cool if she were a hybrid character that can do both, not the best melee character, not the best ranged character, but versatile.
Minigames were some of the best parts of the original!
In the latest trailer we can already see they added a fight on bikes with Cloud and Jessie.
OP
OP
If you're asking if i'm worried about the game having a bunch of padding, no.
She could be a lot of fun to play. It still bothers me that, without Aerith, none of the party are really magic slingers though. I typically just turned Yuffie into a speedy healer to try and help fill that gap.
OP
OP
Not really and it probably wouldn't bother me too much if they did. As long as the games pacing isn't thrown off by the expectation that the player should do a bunch of side content.
OP
OP
I don't doubt that there will be lots of side content, most JRPGs have at least 10 hours worth. Witcher 3 sold 20+ million copies and got tons of GOTY awards because of it's side quests....that were just as good as most games mainline quests.
Quality is what matters, and everything they've shown has been ultra high quality.

I hope stuff like W-magic looks cool. Instead of simply casting Fire twice, Cloud rapid fires 2 spells back to back.
Entirely depends on how the game is actually structured and how open Midgar is
Definitely. Main line FF hasn't had particularly impressive magic effects since 10!
Or two simultaneous Fire spells that snake through the air and home in on the enemy.
That's gotta be the end of the game, no? If they stick to the idea of just doing Midgar. Then you get to the end of the road and fight the big mech dude with spiky wheels. And then you enter the big bad beautiful overworld.
Actually, this MUST be something else because Jessie is there!
No... Just look at the motorcycle. It's a different one compared to the original game. There seems to be several motorcycle chases in the new game.
I wonder if they've pushed up the Sephiroth/Cloud Nibelheim flashback to happen in Midgar instead of it taking place in Kalm. The trailer clearly shows Sephiroth in front of the Shinra mansion and surrounded by flames like in the original, but that only happens after visiting Kalm in the OG.
I just got out of Midgar in the OG version on PC and it took me five hours. No clue how they'll stretch the story to 25-30 hours at that point unless battles are just much longer or something. Or maybe more areas are opened up.
I'm so excited for this game!

It's in the train tunnels. Biggs and Wedge are on a bike too, definitely earlier in the game. There's likely more than one motorcycle section in this one.
That's not the Shinra mansion, it's in Midgar. I assume everytime Cloud hallucinates Sephiroth, the environment will look on fire. When Cloud attacks Sephiroth and he disappears, the flames disappear too but Cloud is still in the same location.
You're totally right. Plus, Jessie is there and the truck with Tifa, Barrett, Aeris, and Red XIII isn't there.
oh man how awesome would it be if you could drive around in Midgar with a motorcycle.
Plz make it happen
Plz make it happen
This might turn out to be the game of the forever. So much hype.
The Sephiroth illusion is in Midgar not the Shinra mansion.
And I doubt they're going to move the Nibelheim flashback. That flashback will be the perfect opener for Part 2.
can't wait for day-time Midgaroh man how awesome would it be if you could drive around in Midgar with a motorcycle.
Plz make it happen

I now need this to happen. Give us some side quests where you need to visit different sectors of Midgar.
That's it! That's how they'll stretch it! In the OG you really only spend time in sectors 5, 6, and 7. Plenty more than that exists in Midgar proper.
