Final Fantasy VII Remake - theme song trailer
- Thread starter Xenosaga
- Start date
I think it only remained the same on a conceptual level, they redid everything.
On the one hand I'm a little bummed they showed so much, on the other hand I'm just relieved so much has been kept in. I don't mind the additions like the Jenova fight, either - it'd be a pretty boring 30-40 hour game if it didn't have setpieces like that. Sephiroth I'll have to wait and see - Tifa seeing him definitely muddles the Nibelheim story bit next game.
Nanakis VA sounds so familiar, too.
I guess at this point the only character we haven't really seen is Rufus.

I'm glad ya'll enjoying this trailer. But I can't help but seem incredibly concerned with the directions they are taking the story and the changes they are making. Remember, this is the Square that Made FF13 trilogy, FFVX and Kh3.They haven't written a good story for years. Especially Nojima and Nomura, whenever I see something that is new, I'm just wondering how they'll fuck it up. The game looks nice, gameplay looks solid, but some of the placement of characters appearing in the story seem kind of fanservicey in a bad way that feels like an insult to the original. I guess you could say it reminds me more of the compilation than the original.
I'm very much of the opinion that purists can go F themselves. IMO Nintendo usually gets this right more than most. Games like Earthbound, Paper Mario, Luigi & Mario all have excellently translated dialogue that feels like it was written in English first, full of personality and flavor. If the sacrifice to my teeth not eroding from all that cringing is a lack in accuracy to the original material, then it's more than worth it.
Aye.
Don't know how they could get Red so right and then make Barret sound so over the top embarrassing.
I mean...Midgar IS just the prologue. So, yeah, it's being stretched & padded out.
Final Fantasy XIV says, hi.

What was the point in changing Palmer to putting butter in his tea (English) from the original's lard (which was in the original English version of the game and is still in the Japanese version of THIS game)?
Also, still not feeling a good deal of the VA in English. Sounds very anime-dubby and over-exaggerated.

Words cannot display the feelings si felt while watching that trailer.
It's like if Square had looked inside my dreams, pulled out the Final Fantasy VII Remake out of there, and improved it to levels I couldn't possibly had imagined before.
This remake is indeed a labor of love. It keeps blowing my mind every single time to the point I cannot believe it.
I'm currently replaying the original for the nth time in preparation for this remake. Here's to my favorite Final Fantasy game, revived!

What a trailer. I didn't find it that spoilery since...you know, we know the FFVII story by now. But I suppose this does allude to
the *new* final battle of the game will be battle against Jenova in an illusion of the Nibelheim reactor room. I can see this setting up Sephiroth as the real villain (I don't believe anyone besides Cloud interacted for most of the game) and the search for Sephiroth far more effectively than the original did.

Loving everything about this trailer. The English voices, the rich environment, just rebreathing life into a classic and remaking it (or rather reborn) as a brand new product.
I probably watched this trailer at least 30 times already.
The complaint about the dialogue is a valid one, but I think they wanted to get the "classic" feel in a sense. The time the game takes place, the location itself (basically a ghetto, abandoned train station, red light district, and corrupt energy company full fo smug individuals), a call back to the original title with its corny writing too, and just to deliver the proper ambiance (i think that would be the best word to use here) for it.
In japanese, i think the script is the exact same (from trailers at least) so either way you will hear the dialogue. Sharing my thoughts as why I think its a perfect direction with how they are doing it.

Damn, this looks astounding. Not even mad this is multi-parts. I just want to experience this.
Cross Dress Cloud
Red XIII
Seph and Cloud meet.
Those black specters
Phew.
Out of context though, that butter line was hilarious.
Edit: There's this odd sense of self-aware corniness. I wonder if that's intentional. Anybody agree?
Edit 2: Voice Acting feels uneven to me man. But eh.

Please tell me this is just a theory of yours and not based on the leaks.
The lines and scenes they gave do a great job of nailing the personalities of the Shinra executives and Red XIII as I remember them. Fantastic. They're really gonna do it, aren't they.
When I thought we wouldnt get a better voice for red and they get whomever the new guy is. Damn I'm looking forward to the new english dub. This game cant come out soon enough.
I'm weak.
Broke down and watched it. Holy shit those madmen have done it. Just... wow!
My wife was losing her mind at the cross-dressing scene, hahah
Two months. Just let me sleep!

Unfortunately Sephiroth sounds like Benedict Cumberbatch in my head.
Chessy video, but whatever as a kid I always imagined Sephiroth sounding very deep, Shakespearean and far smarter than everyone else in the room.

IT's funny how Dragon Quest XI, despite having a more cartoony art style has more believable, realistic voice acting compared to this game.
It's the only thing about this Remake that hasn't impressed me. Everything else looks very good. For an SE game this is probably the most polished thing I've seen them present in a long ass time if not ever.

Just your dominatrix villainess.
What did she mean by this? 👀
Wow, the English voices aren't making me vomit.
Granted, I'm hoping we can still set them to Japanese because they still sound better to my ears, but this is fine.

YES! I will definitely be going to that Chicago show in October. Have been to several of the Distant Worlds concerts and loved every one of them.
It's going to be magical. One of my favourite locations in the whole series, so comfy.
It looks the same story, just more action scenes and extra character scenes like when they adapt a novel into a tv series. Well Sephiroth is in it more, but that could be... the original game's plot point
Sephiroth calling out for Cloud as part of the jenova reunion
