Final Fantasy VII Remake - theme song trailer
- Thread starter Xenosaga
- Start date
This was also in dev hell under Nomura. Remember it taken away from CyberConnect2 and completely restarted? And based on the early footage it seems like COMPLETELY because all the models and even the battle system look different
Holy shit that looks so good. If part 1 is only Migar, it looks like they added a lot to the story. Red XII is Mufasa
The battle system actually looks very similar in the 2015 gameplay trailer
At 1:17 or so you can see the gameplay and it includes similar attack animations as well as an ATB bar filling up with each attack. The UI is different but aside from that it doesn't look like it was redone from the ground up.
I'm not going to watch the trailer but I did look at the some of the screen shots. Can't wait to play it. I'll be studying in Japan though when it comes out (and I'm not bringing my PS4) so I'll have to wait a couple months. I'll try to take pictures if I see any cool advertisements.
OK, that looked good. Stopped midway, didn't want to get too spoiled, but daaaaaaamn that looked GOOD.
There's plenty of good English dubbed anime.
I'd say this is more like your average English dub JRPG which tends to be of lower quality than actual English dubbed anime.
Yes but those 5 hours of the original game are also 1/3 of the script of the original game.
My concerns are a bit mitigated due to it appearing that the few times Sephiroth shows up in this remake before Hojo's lab appear to be Cloud having hallucinations. Having actual Sephiroth show up there mostly just sucks the buildup out of the trail of blood scene.
I think a bigger concern is that they are making it very obvious at this point of the story that Jenova is the one moving around and pretending to be Sephiroth. They show that Sephiroth is a hallucination before being replaced by Jenova, and Aerith and Nanaki saying Jenova is the source of everything. Feels like playing those cards way too early.
I hope we get an option for Japanese VA because holy shit the english voices are fucking baaaad lol
I don't care for the song either. Lyrics in final fantasy songs have always been some cheesy bullshit...well excluding 14 that is.

Hmm. I thought the voices were pretty damn good for a JRPG.
Clearly an old fart. Go back to your Galaga and Tetris, old man.
Because of lip-syncing. The mouth movements are very particular in realistic-looking JRPGs now which makes it harder to match the lip flaps. The actors have to speak English in a Japanese rhythm.
The Witcher didn't have issues like that.
Reminds me of a Hollywood anecdote. A woman goes up to a man at a party, and asks what he does for a living. He says he cuts trailers for films. The woman asks, which ones? He mentions one of her favorite movies.
"Oh, no! I absolutely hated that trailer! It gave everything away!"
"Did you go see the movie?"
"Of course!"
"Then I did my job well."
Very well, indeed.

No, I said the script as in dialogue.
The original game's length is filled up with a lot of exploration after you get out of Midgar.
Are my eyes deceiving me or does he have a fake bosom under the dress. GOTG
No, but the story of VII slows way down after Midgar. In terms of the amount of lines, OG Midgar is about a third of the script. But it essentially goes from story event to story event with no downtime. So while it's only a third of the script, it's closer to a fifth or a sixth of the gameplay time.
Presumably, part of the plan to expand on Midgar includes slowing down on its breakneck story pacing and adding more gameplay in between story segments.
Nah not at all. Dragon quest 11 had great VAs. Hell DQ 8 had better sounding vas and that shit was on ps2 lol
Me too. I mean it sounds miles better than FFXIII for example. I've been really happy with the VAs so far. Maybe I have low standards from years of terrible JRPG dubs I dunno
I don't know if we can judge VA based solely on cut together trailers. I believe a number of people have said that the Voice Acting flows much better in the demo. I know at least Max has made the point that the previous trailers did no favors for the VA compared to the demo.
FFXIII had excellent voice acting minus the strange voice direction for Vanille.
Don' t understand how the PS2 Final Fantasy outings have better voice acting/direction than this. Game looks good tho, only thing that worries me is that they are going to pad this game out.
Most people already know that Sephiroth is the main villain.
It kills the pacing.
Everyone and their mother knows what Sephiroth looks like.
Most people know that Aerith dies too.
Different writers/directors/tone?
Why does original Silent Hill 2 and 3 have more nuanced, honest voice acting than 'professional VAs-R-Us' that is the HD Remaster re-dubs?
So much just comes down to voice direction.
But as others have said, some of the flow and delivery of these lines might sound better in-game as opposed at an out-of-context hype trailer.
My only personal gripe with the game so far is actually the soundtrack. I typically absolutely love orchestras and I live for bombastic soundtracks, but I just feel like every track I've heard so far totally lacks "oomph." I don't understand people gushing over the battle themes at all. Hopefully the full game changes my opinion.
No, it's really not.
The VAs in KH are awful. F-tier.
Half....the ....cast....talks....like....this.
That's my point why are we going backwards when we have so much more talent going around these days and it's not like the game is lacking in budget. Why can't SE be better on this front.
We'll see I guess. However, looking back I'm not hopeful.
They should've gone with the version of Those Who Fight Further from the Black Mages.
This is everything I imagined the FFVII remake to be .. and then some !
Nothing wrong with the last part if it's an amazing experience.
FF12 will never be matched.
I was mostly ok with the dub until I saw this trailer. Yea... I'll go with JP dub for sure.
also nothing wrong with a linear game, get me out a little of open world games
I just want to explore a bit of Midgar. Maybe even a bit more than in the original. I've been wondering if the full game data leaks would confirm/deny this, but I'm too terrified to look, lol.
Honey Bee Inn looks like an understandable update of a scene that would likely be wildly questionable if rendered exactly the way Toriyama originally wrote it, and Red XIII's new voice is pretty spot-on for how I would expect Nanaki to sound.
Really not a fan of what appears to be Sephiroth showing up in person to the whole party that early in the story, though. Also not a fan of how the only new content there seems to be is just Roche and "stuff from later episodes shoved into this one early". Would've been nice to see some new areas instead.

They redo the lip-syncing for the English audio. You can see differences in at least some of the scenes in this trailer.
