I don't think people should get their hopes up for the Tifa chapter. Just because they cut it out, doesn't mean it'll be put back in for a Final Remix.
It's much more likely we'll see a few extra scenes spread throughout, and additional side content.

A secret movie, a bonus arena fight / set of fights, and maybe something like letting you play as other characters outside of combat (since they have the majority of the animations).
This is basically where I'm at. There's no confirmation yet of any game content being announced. Could be anything. SE are known to reveal things at concerts so it's not outside the realm of possibility but still just tempering expectations.
I think it's plausible, they wouldn't really need to make much in terms of new assets. All they would need is voice acting, motion capture (if needed), and everything else needed for additional cutscenes. If there's a special boss or new enemies that would require work as well, in addition to encounter design if it had combat.
Yeah but the question is would they want to put it back in? When story content is cut, the rest of the game is shaped around that. It's also entirely possible that despite initially wanting it in, they were ultimately happy with how the game worked without it. We've also got plans for part 2 to consider.
It's just not as simple as 'they cut it out so now they can drop it back in'.
What would be the point of adding a "classic" Yuga outfit? The updated one in the Remake is more than fine and not as sexist as the OG.
It's possible for DLC to be made without it taking away resources from the next game in the saga. Really depends on where they were at in the production process for the next game when VII Remake went gold. Also they had to set aside talent and/or outsource for protentional Xbox and PC ports alongside PS5 enhancements.
If it's content, I hope it's not something demanding that I play the game all over again to experience it like some clueless devs often make it. I already platinum'd it (played 2x) and it was a great experience. If it's content, I'd definitely like to play it, but isolated in chapter select or something cause I'm already done with the main game.
More accurate translation
So there's a bit of a misinterpretation here. He's not saying they're revealing new content. It very well could be that they're revealing new content, but he is not explicitly saying so. He could just be referring to development anecdotes, etc. Here is a better translation:
"Hello, I'm [Motomu] Toriyama, the co-director of Final Fantasy VII Remake. We're finally going to hold the orchestra concert this weekend. Not only will there be songs from the original game, but many new songs were also written for Final Fantasy VII Remake, so I'm looking forward to the orchestra playing those. There'll be the performance of course, but there's also a bonus program in which I participate and talk a little bit about Final Fantasy VII Remake, which you'll only be able to hear [in the program]. So it would be much appreciated if you tune into that as well! It'll be held online, so lets keep the excitement going by sending each other comments! I hope we have a good time together!"

Oh, thanks for the better translation and welp :(
Hype a bit deflated.
If I'm correct, I swore that Tifa's English VA mentioned that she did voice stuff for the cut content previously? So if that's true, that's at least one element done for it, and they might have actually completed a lot of it, just axed it because it didn't flow well or time.
That's gonna be the only fix too. No improved frame rate, no improved load times, no 4K, just a 20 Gig patch with a super high res door texture lol.
Dislike her Remake outfit in particular how there is so much black now with the added black thigh highs, the sports bra and gloves now. It looks like someone took her outfit into character customization and made sure every single clothing slot now has something in it. Also wish they didn't shorten her hair. Prefer her old one much more
Getting her Purple Pain gloves in Shinra tower just further showed how overdone all the additions are as the reddish color of them instantly improved the outfit.
PS5 Update with Extra Content £10/$10/€10 upgrade fee includes DLC and more extra content.

I don't trust Square to do an upgrade after how they handled DQXI. I expect a full new release at this point.
PS5 free upgrade? Also, please some sort of expansion/DLC. I think this game needs a mode where you can travel from Sector 7 slums all the way to the other side to Aerith church and back. Maybe a "rebuild" the slums and help the citizens with repairs, so they drop a bunch of side quests and secrets bosses, etc.
Curious to see if they will have people pay full fucking price again for a PS5 version, without offering any sort of upgrade path for previous owners.
Sadly I would not be surprised if that's the case considering this is SE.

That was primarily because of the completely fucked and back-asswards way they decided to handle the Switch port.
I don't see how both Kitase and Toriyama speak at this thing and there not be some announcement or trailer. If it was just about the music, they would just have one of the musical directors there.
I would love to be proven wrong about this, but I still feel burned by that so I'm not gonna assume Square won't do something dumb.
I think it depends. Far as I'm aware, Avengers I believe was getting next-gen update free if you own the base. In addition, FFXIV will carry over to PS5 for free.
I feel like DQXI was a weird case, because the S version or whatever that was released elsewhere, was apparently them porting the Switch version over, instead of updating the original game that released. Still feel like they should have offered something, but I'm guessing that's likely a reason as to why.
