This looks all kinds of wrong to me. Can't even put my finger on it. But it totally doesn't feel like Final Fantasy 7. Might be the music? Seriously I don't feel it (yet).
Needs more block people and electric kazoo music.

I def agree there.The song I most strongly remember from VII is the Main Theme. Aeris' theme of course is there and Tifa has one too (albeit far less memorable), but more than anything else the Main Theme stands out to me because it feels like the theme song for the entire planet.
But like Gaia Lanzer said, the big problem with VII's soundtrack is just the low-quality synths that make up a lot of the melodies. VI's score uses its limited soundfonts far more effectively than VII did with its own. VIII and IX did a much better job of this.
I agree. VII's soundtrack has a lot of motif work in the songs. It's not quite as noticeable I think as in VI's soundtrack but it's great work, and I love both soundtracks.I guess the people in charge feel it fits the animu sensibilities of this game. But to me it's just yikes.
They might not have stuck with you, but FF7 undeniably has just as many different leitmotifs as FFVI for characters and locations if not more, and unlike FFVI, it also has a thematically musical through-line running over the soundtrack in the form of Aeriths' theme, which can be heard in multiple arrangement over several tracks.
Personally, I also prefer FFVI's soundtrack, but you're selling VII's short.
That makes sense now, I couldn't tell that was rubble I thought it was a wall.They aren't.
That's after the collapse.
It's probably a recreate of this moment
Being honest, i was very skeptical before, but this seems better than what i expected. They are not being shy of being silly and letting some ridiculous stuff happen, and even letting cloud be himself it seems. The tone seems way different than advent children was, so now i'm way more relieved than before. For the first time in years i'm looking foward to a square offering.
Lol why do people continually feel the need to add this.
Everyone is aware it's part one and that has nothing to do with the conversation.
For the IQ they're achieving, it's understandable. You could always just wait for the eventual remaster/DE years from now, but I sure as hell ain't. LOL
*Please Insert Disc 5 to enjoy the Supernova Adventure Experience Film*Also if Sephiroths Supernova attack doesn't last for 30 minutes and expands into other universes for which they will need a Blu Ray alone, i'll be dissappointed.

I get where you're coming from, but this is a very different situation. The most important difference that this is footage of a game that's coming out in 6 months. When they showed XV gameplay 6 months before the release, it was pretty much what we got. What they showed at the reveal on the other hand... was something completely different and honestly, I'm not even sure that game ever existed outside of an exciting proof of concept video. When you look back at FF VII R's debut gameplay, it's honestly not far off from what we're seeing today. Seems like development on this one is waaaaay more consistent.After FFXV I'm not sure how much of what is shown here is actually going to make it into the game. SE loves to go out of their way to make flashy trailers that don't resemble the end product.
Looking good. Some cheesy parts, but when the source material is already kinda cheesy playing it up a bit probably isn't the most offensive thing they could do. FFXVI is where I've been placing my hopes for a FF that leans towards a more grounded/serious approach, this is mostly what I already expected FFVIIR to be like.
The main thing I wanted from this trailer was Summon footage and I got that, even if it's heavily edited to obfuscate what the mechanics are like, so I'm happy.
It doesn't sound like anyone believes it'll all release on PS4. What a bummer!Probably 0% chance the whole saga releases on PS4.
My guess is the future ambition of the project (i.e. the actual WORLD of VII) is already being planned for next gen.
Why is SE calling it the VII remake release then? That's what I don't understand. Why not just add part 1?
Everyone's arguing whether they like Tifa or Aerith more and im like

Amen to this statement right here, square fuckin wants us to die with how hot everyone isSeeing Cloud, Tifa, and Rude looking fine as fuck in this trailer is reminding me of why I'm bisexual. Hot damn. This is gonna be a day 1 purchase for me.
Also if Sephiroths Supernova attack doesn't last for 30 minutes and expands into other universes for which they will need a Blu Ray alone, i'll be dissappointed.
Every cutscene is real time? Everything transitions without loading screens?
Becuase this is a full game. Adding ' part one' to it makes it sound like it isn't.
People just can't get their head around the fact that this is a complete reimaging of the orignal game not a 1:1 remake. This is the first game in a overall saga but it's a complete game.
It's like having to put 'part one' on the start of a movie trilogy.
I'm sweating as I type this. That trailer was too much for me.Amen to this statement right here, square fuckin wants us to die with how hot everyone is

Now they could give it a sub title..which they may well do.
Yeah that absolutely needs to happen! I didn't realize it wasn't announced for anything else yet, my PS4 is on it's death bed, PS5 or PC or I won't be able to play it :(I'm almost certain there will be a "Enhanced for PS5" Edition. I'll wait it out a bit before buying for PS4.
Okay, I was very pleasantly surprised. Was that president Shinra as the hologram?
Sure, and that includes you and me, you know? Honestly, I dislike Sephiroth's inclusion in Midgar. I dislike the whole specter thingies. I suspect I'll like the story better without those noise, just like I would most likely be happier if Reno's last action in the church is saying "don't step on the flower" while uncaringly walking away. But I won't frame it as my vision being truer than theirs, as "fanfiction" would suggest. Can't we just express disagreement without that kind of dismissal? I'm sorry, I suppose this has little to do with the discussion itself. It's just a personal grievance.Sometimes (like with my Lucas comparison) the creator is sometimes an idiot, and sometimes being reigned in or having restrictions makes for better stories. It's why editors exist. The best ideas in the world sometimes need someone else to filter and trim them to be "better." No one is above it.
Him and HeideggerOkay, I was very pleasantly surprised. Was that president Shinra as the hologram?
As someone that just got into FFXIV very recently, Masayoshi Soken is doing the lord's work.OMG that music brought back so many emotions.
I swear there has been not a single final fantasy with music as good since FF7. What's up with that anyways?
They could always use "Episode" 2/3; though I wonder if this indicates how they'll tackle future parts. Are we looking at a FFXV situation again with a live game approach? Episode Nibelheim, Episode Wutai, etc, released primarily digitally with a complete version down the lineUnfortunately they're kinda fucked no matter what they do. By putting no number on the box they're essentially lying to customers about what the game contains.
And then REGARDLESS they'll have to do "Part 2" and "Part 3" for the later parts. They need to get in front of this shit now and be honest about it, on the box, rather than pretending "it's a full game so it doesn't matter if 90% of the story isn't in it!"
