FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE Trailer for FFVII - A Symphonic Reunion
- Thread starter Xavi
- Start date
I don't care about the changes, I understand that this is going to be a new game.
But I just want the return of the world map and be able to travel around it with the Highwind at some point
I accept even a map like the PS1 era, with a giant Cloud running around the world

You gotta ignore it.
You should know the craziness of this community by now when it comes to jumping to conclusions.
oh i do lol i was referring to the crappy E3 trailers they had last E3 for KH3 and the crappy DLC KH3 recent trailer.

Let's be real, this game is going to suck ass. Square has done nothing worthwhile since the 90's. Fans of that era still hoping for something good are basically in an abusive relationship with the company.
I admit that I have some cynical thoughts too, but what does this add to the conversation?
Maybe it's been cleared up somewhere in the 14 pages, but there actually are ghost enemies that sort of look like the trailer ghosts in the train graveyard section of Midgar and Aerith is in your party when you play that part of the game (time stamp in video is at a ghost battle). I literally just replayed the game like a month or two ago so I was sure i remembered ghosts!
Tifa is also in your party at that point but she's obviously not in the cutscene from the trailer. I think the scene is fine if it's from the train graveyard. It's fairly nonsensical if they're doing something else and that's your intro to her in the game.
The scene is from when Cloud and Aerith first meet after the bomb goes off and AVALANCHE has to regroup.
The ghosts also appear in the Sephiroth key art, so they're definitely related to him in some way. I hope whatever Compilation shit they're adding is reduced to the minimum and improved as much as they can. Don't want to see those three guys from AC lol.
Lol.
The weird swirling black stuff at the end has me excited to see what they're doing. I'd be happy with a 1:1 remake, but I'm also totally down for some original twists.
What good game have they released since FFXII? I'm not even a huge fan of that game but it was a quality product.

Which is odd bc DQ XI's VA cast was the best voice acting in a game to date.
If you look in the key image for sephiroth, you can see the "ghosts" in the first. They mean something, they're not just regular enemies.
FF3 and 4 Remakes, Crisis Core, Kingdom Hearts 3, The Last Remnant, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep, Dragon Quest IX, Dragon Quest XI, Dissidia Final Fantasy, Dissidia 012, Nier and its sequel, Final Fantasy XIV: ARR and its expansions, Bravely Default and Second, Octopath Traveler, DQ Builders, World of Final Fantasy. FFXV.
I can also add the western Square games if you want.
RE Ghosts: In the original plan for the original game, the Sephiroth Clone Reunion dudes in black cloaks were actually ghost-like figures not dissimilar to what we see here, and rather than being failed clones/people who've been experimented on, they were actually pieces of Jenova's body under the cloak. Imagine a body part - the right arm, the heart, the eyes - floating under a cloak. And the fact that's what it was would be a reveal. And in the script at that point, these things interfered more directly, and actually replaced the Sephiroth that stomps around for much of disc 1 entirely.
They cut this, but it sure seems like they're merging what happened in the original game with this cut concept.
There's also the three 'Sephiroth remnants' or whatever they were called from Advent Children. AC retconned the original game to say these guys were floating around without corporeal form even during FF7, but gained physical form once Sephiroth was killed. Given there appear to be three ghosts, this could also be a representation of them.
Whatever the case, it;s very clear now this is gonna be a very different version of the story.

No, thanks. That was money well spent and FFXV represented a huge success for Square Enix.
Can't wait to see Cobalt XIV and Indigo XV.
Give Nanaki some love, Nomura.
I think FFXV was the first one to have it on release date, which I hope indicates a trend, but I fear it's just what Tabata personally wanted. It even had modding tools on PC, so he seems to care more than the norm about player choice.
Yeah, Erik's random half-British, half-Jersey accent was really A+ work.
Was mostly referring to FF IP. Also most of those games are terrible outside of DQ and Nier. KH3? Jesus Christ.
KH3 is a fine game, it was just too easy at launch. That problem has been solved already.

That cut concept is kind of cool, though in terms of the story it kind of leaves a hole for much of Cloud's motivation to even be doing what he's doing since his big motivation was to catch Sephiroth. Wonder how that would have worked if it wasn't Sephiroth he was chasing?
Want to add to this to also say that actually my greatest worry with the black clouds and the "this couldn't have been us..." "but what if it was...?" lines from AVALANCHE is that what they might be doing is making Sephiroth/Jenova interfere at the same time as AVALANCHE, with those black clouds working to do more damage. One thing I like about the original is that AVALANCHE is fairly unflinching and they don't really question the innocents they're killing until the very last moment, so you've got things like Jessie saying she's proud of her bomb two screens away from somebody who says hundreds of innocents were slaughtered, but at least they died quick. It was good, and morally ambiguous, but I always knew they'd want to soften it for this - and if Sephiroth/Jenova is more corporeal from the word go, I can see that being used as a mechanism for that... which I wouldn't be too fond of (on paper, at least).
FF7's story is a tad confusing in this sense anyway. The Sephiroth you chase throughout the real game is Jenova, or pieces of Jenova's body, taking the form of Sephiroth. There's a bit of confusion as to if Jenova is using Sephiroth's form or Sephiroth is using Jenova's body, and the original isn't hugely clear (and the translation even less so), but yeah. The funny thing about FF7 is you're not really chasing Sephiroth anyway, just something that looks like him, cos the real body was tossed into the lifestream and that was that.
This is an element of the story I imagine they'll change a lot if only to tidy it up, but also because Sephiroth himself is way more iconic now and they might want to make it all more plainly about him.
I hope Cloud gets hit full on in the face with the Destruct Materia in this remake.
I'd just find that funny.

lmao that was a bit rough, but see just about every other character in the game. A+ indeed. Nothing's perfect.
What makes you say that? Most think it looks great and are hyped.
Literally 11 hours to go.
My hype is through the roof. If Tifa isn't shown tonight I cannot be held responsible for my behavior.

I'll add ffxiii trilogy because you know I love two of em
Anyway se has been amazing for me last 10 years. You think they suck? Sad for you, stop shotposting in SE game threads
Important. It looks like Nomura is.... doing exactly what he said he'd do! Fleshing things out! Lol
Maybe you're fine with them making changes because you're a fanboy? Star Wars fanboys to this day still defend Lucas, the prequels, and all the cuts and additions added to the original trilogy.
Are you saying that the characters being bad people that bomb innocents is window dressing?
How is this possible when she clearly gives him a flower and drops the ones she was holding? That happens much earlier.
I actually expect them to dial back on this, especially with the whole "We didn't do that" part of the trailer.
I don't see making the main characters eco-terrorists who pretty callously kill innocents playing well in today's climate.
Because the appeal of the entire Midgard section is how grounded it is? And we don't get a real peek at Sephiroth until you wake up in prison and see a blood trail and the president dead? And now they're shoving Sephiroth right into the grounded beginning which changes Aerith's introduction and makes her look like a damsel?
Maybe don't remake the game then.
But we don't anything about the ghost at all.
Again, you'll always have your FFVII original. Which is on almost every platform by now.
Apples to oranges.
This is a remake. The special editions were not remakes.
Ah yes, the original with the brain dead easy difficulty and the literally incomprehensible story fueled by a terrible translation.
