Yes the most iconic section of the original game is the opening 8-10 hours in Midgar.

FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE Trailer for FFVII - A Symphonic Reunion
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
Sephiroth was a dumb motherfucker who thought he and Jenova were Cetra. Guy probably needed more time in the basement researching.
Right?
What made the prison part of the Shinra HQ break in impactful was it came out of nowhere. You're in prison and suddenly there's a massive blood spill on the ground. It was horrifying and batshit insane. What made it great was it came out of nowhere. Then you go up to the top floor and President Shinra is dead. Holy fuck what a mind fuck.
Knowing them they'll insert Sephiroth asap ruining the shock and build up. They love sucking Sephiroth off.
Lmao what? Looks nothing like Crisis corr. It looks more like a grounded KH and it will be more varied than FFXV. That stale ass and stilted combat system with no hitstuns.
It's more like 5 hours. But yes, it is the most iconic. Besides Aerith's death, it's easily number one.
What's there to be confused about?
Sephiroth died 5 years ago and his body fell into the Lifestream where it eventually became crystalized in the Northern Crater. Sephiroth's will was too strong to be assimilated into the Lifestream and he took control of Jenova's body in Shinra HQ to search for the black materia. Jenova is a shapeshifter, so Sephiroth made her assume his form.
Which is why Sephiroth really shouldn't show up until Shinra HQ.

To be fair to them, this is what happens when you translate key words like puppet into clone and don't bother to re-translate it after 20 years. It takes multiple playthroughs to understand what's going on in VII partly due to the translation itself.
They already said the games were more full game sequels and less "episodic" and would be FFXIII game length
Too late, baby! Sephiroth is gonna be there at Seventh Heaven!
"I haven't seen your woman in quite some time... CLOUD..."
"Sephiroooooth!"
The original FFVII had so much charm.The music, the environment, the characters,... And THIS is the cut they chose for a trailer? A collection of grunts, bad voice acting and button smashing action sequences? Holy fuck.. Has the target market now shifted from original hardcore fans to pre-teens?
The voice acting sounds like from a B-movie IMO. Maybe I'm spoiled by games like Kojima's productions.
Yeah. Your antagonist is Shinra for all intents and purposes. The pacing and reveals were what made FFVII so special. Incredible house of cards that is carefully built to then be knocked down. You can dump turn based ATB for all I care, that is not the spirit of FFVII.
KHII Final Mix exists. KHIII is also pretty strong though could do with a little more balancing. TWEWY was also a pretty fun action RPG and there's also stuff like Dissidia that decent, unique action-y gameplay. Maybe they aren't quite top-notch, but they aren't totally worthless when it comes to action-y gameplay.
To be fair there really haven't been all that many video game remakes of this scale. We mostly have remasters that tidy up the resolution/textures/framerate of the original and graphical remakes that overhaul the graphics but keep everything else the same.Those are fine, I loved SOTC PS4 and the Crash & Spyro trilogies, but that's simply not what these creative people behind this remake wanted to do. There's just no set definition of what a remake should be and as such it's a bit silly to so strongly attack SQEX when people who were involved with the original aren't interested in the kind of remake you'd have wanted this to be. You want very strict loyalty to the original, but if we look at movies, remakes jump genres all the time. Like, an intimate horror movie IP can turn into a more family-friendly, comedic action adventure movie and then into more serious large scale disaster movie as years go by and it gets remade.
Why does a game remake need to be of this scale to begin with? The fixation that company has with FFVII is almost at Lucas level. I guarantee if they just went the REmake route they wouldn't had taken literally 5 years to release one section of the game.
It's really a cool way to open up the world. You think you're about to have the Ultimate Battle of Ultimate Destiny with Shinra or Rufus or whatever.
And then Sephiroth nonchalantly lays waste to everyone's plans. That sword in Shinra's back is a direct challenge. Like, "You know not how small you are. Join me in the world beyond and see."

Now you're just getting silly. Yeah, how dare they show an action packed trailer about terrorist bombings from an action packed start of a game with terrorist bombings! The nerve!
Like, are you for real?
Cloud is just as weird for thinking he's Zack or whatever. That part of the story isn't sitting to well for me in my head either. I just remember when I first played it being like "what? Ok" to some of this stuff lol
The remake's main innovation will be the Sephiroth Everywhere system.
Yup im looking forward to it. Thought this trailer was better showing of it too with less stuff I found a bit jank from the previous.

Biggs: You're gonna help save the planet, right?
Cloud: Not interested.
Barret: Well le's just git this show on th' road!
Cloud: Sure.
Sephiroth: And don't forget to double check the timer on the bomb... CLOUD...
Cloud: Yeah, ri-- SEPHIROOOOTH!
Sephiroth knows what Jenova is by the present. He basically took a bath in the collective knowledge of the planet. He wants to complete what Jenova started as his birthright.
Because the creative people behind this remake weren't interested in such a simple, straightforward remake. Like, they've straight out said they didn't find that kind of remake worth doing. Who are you to demand otherwise?
And we don't yet know anything about how big each part will be so whining about them taking 5 years with this "one section" (what section is that, exactly?) is pointless. They needed to figure out some stuff about the whole remake and make a strong base for it that they can build subsequent parts on efficiently. It's pretty understandable that the first part would take longer as it's setting up the stage for everything that comes after in every way possible (development logistics, gameplay design, story structure, development pipeline etc.) and it's not impossible that they could deliver the subsequent parts in a far more timely manner after they finish this first part. Doubt it's gonna be a yearly thing but they've been doing massive expansions for FFXIV in two years so I imagine 1,5-2 years between releases is fairly realistic, considering they don't have the upkeep & monthly updates of an MMO to worry about.
Except we do know that each game will be a full sized game in the vein of FFXIII. So 5 years for a AAA game is totally normal.
Simple? Straightforward? REmake perfected survival horror. The game is balls hard, introduced crimson heads, rearranged the entire story, change entire puzzles, added new areas, storylines and quests. Simple and straight forward?
The creative people behind the remake have too big expectations and too big wants. Given the entire Compilation of FFVII disaster why should we care much less trust what these "creative" people want to do? Creative? They ruined the original ending of FFVII which was left open ended to make a mindless sequel and a bad third person shooter (Dirge of Cerberus).
Who am I to demand otherwise? As an FFVII fan that does not trust their vision after these same "creative" people have spent 15 years dismantling the original games legacy.
Good:
Graphics and that they are expanding the story. I dont mind them enhancing the experience.
New battle system.
Bad:
Not recreating everything from the original game in a free to roam open world like in the latest FF:noctis game. Big mistake.
They have to cut shit out.
Hype is low now, but I'm hoping I'm wrong and this turns out to be what FF7 deserves. Fully fleshed out "open world" game that has everything. Chocobo riding across the FF7 world map in a ff:noctis type open world.

Last time I checked, video game remakes are reimagining. Remasters are video game remakes.
Have they actually said there will be no open world after Midgar?
Holy shit that voice acting is budget anime levels of bad. Here's hoping I get to play it with the Japanese dub.
Yep.
Yep.
This teaser seems to have majorly back fired, a blimp in the marketing road.This should have remained exclusive to the orchestra (or whatever that event ended up being) and the public should have only seen it again in their own show where they could show a fuller length trailer. I am taking very little from this teaser apart from that the fact I'm a little surprised they announced an actual date and not a window. Plus, I'm not that concerned about the specters appearing, it could be any of things.
Edit: Although looking outside of largely tbe enthusiast sites it seems to have gone over pretty well generally with the public, and it does raise curiosity at what they'll show later I guess.

I think there's a reason it was dropped in the early drafts, then. Actual, messed up people sounds more interesting to me.
