This is basically why I think Dirge of Cerberus will come too. I'm imagining a situation where Vincent is similarly to Aerith, aware of what is going on, and he might be teased in part 2, ready to play a bigger role in part 3.

[The Snitch] FFVII: Crisis Core remaster being announced tomorrow?
- Thread starter --R
- Start date
I don't mind the new Sephiroth's performance, but I miss Superman!Sephiroth.
For me it's fine, but not everyone was around when the game came out in 1997. ;) There's a ton of new people who experience the FF7 story for the first time.
Fittingly, the new one is also Superman!Sephiroth. It's Tyler Hoechlin, who plays Superman on The CW's shows. (Well, I guess it's just the one now.)
Oh, right, I keep forgetting. I guess I need to specify AnimatedJusticeLeagueSuperman!Sephiroth. ...That's a mouthful.
I'm inclined to agree.
There is a but for me, though - you really had to be there in the mid PSP days to truly understand how amazing the game was presentation-wise. The bite sized missions were clearly meant for portables, too
If people get to enjoy this again legitimately doesn't affect me but I personally think the game is awful in nearly every way :/
I dunno, Remake's Sephiroth voice feels more appropriate to that character than the Advent Children one.
Remake talks like an aloof alien, which was at least the same impression that the original one gave me.
The real litmus will be the performance of pre-nutso Sephiroth, if it sounds any different

FF7R by its design assumes you already played FF7, the entire final 3 hours makes basically zero sense if you haven't already played the original
Square Enix was smart enough not to advertise that because I can guarantee you that many many young people play FF7 for the first time now. You can enjoy the game and let those references pass without a big detriment.
Also, I had played the OG FF7 and the last 3 hours didn't make sense to me anyway, until I watched a podcast. :P
I felt like CC was almost good, however I also felt like the game was largely forgettable - especially in the realm of combat - until it got to the latter part of the game and you start to sync up with the Nibelheim incident. Don't think Square had got their live action RPG combat down fully back then, certainly not on a portable.
For a PSP game at a production value level though, pretty peerless.
I recently started Crisis Core again on my Steam Deck and it's much worse than I remembered. The roulette shit was always stupid but I seemed to have forgotten how terrible everything else was. It's extremely sterile and moves at an excruciating pace.
Thankfully, though, I think the tweet is just referencing FF7R for all platforms. I don't want them wasting any effort to revive this awful game.

I feel if that's what they were referencing, the PS colors wouldn't be there. I also doubt it'll come to Switch, even as a cloud game, since those KH cloud versions were apparently pretty shit and I can't imagine sold much
Wasn't there an interview with… I can't remember who but he said Part 2 won't deviate from the original FF7 like Part 1 did?
Nah they said it won't deviate MORE than part 1 did because people were worrried the ending suggested it'd go in a completely different course.
iirc the translation was 'do not expect the story of FFVII to not continue as before', or something
Which to me is a statement pretty open to some interpretation, in that they could just be describing things like Rufus' parade, temple of the ancients, but also allowing for the possibility of stuff to go off the rails as well
Basically I'm expecting the other games to include a smattering of 'greatest hits' of FFVII while having lots of weird shit also because that is the expectation that ending of the first game is setting up for
I seem to remember the impression being left that they're going to not do anything crazy.
I think the big thing here is what does "crazy" mean because I feel we're already there with how Part 1 ended.
Yep. I can't find the interview but you're basically right. I'd still imagine the ending deviates like part 1 but other than that it'll stay true.
I think it will definitely harken back the key plot points of FFVII while making small changes that have further cascading effects to the overall plot.
I just started a replay of VII, and this time I'm talking to all the NPCs and it's amazing how layered the story is, even with that crummy translation. The remake does a great job of expanding those existing plot points.
We probably have at least 2 more years before we realistically get Part 2. You ain't getting it ASAP and a remaster of this nature probably won't be handled by the main team anyway
In all likelihood, a different team would tackle a remaster.
I'd love if a remaster or reimagination got announced, definitely day one for me. Loved CC and there were a lot of onions getting chopped in my home during the ending.
I wish I could find the dang interview. I'll try to look later today.
I can't find the interview but I remember hearing in 2020 that Nomura and I think Kitase had met to discuss how they could support the VII remake series with other projects.
Essentially how do they avoid the situation XIII hit where people lost interest with each game.
I'm sure Intergrade, Crisis Core HD and Ever Crisis are all being developed to help keep VII Remake in peoples minds to help boost sales. Again, that's why I wouldn't be shocked to see Dirge of Cerberus and maybe even a remaster of the original game in between parts 2 and 3.

This might blow your mind, but this remaster is most likely being done by a different team or developer which will have zero impact on the development of remake part 2.
Interesting.
Thing is, I'm not sure how that's possible, seeing as how
Zack is alive and well.
I think the implication of that alone can lead to all sorts of major deviations.
It can be technically true, and part 3 or 4 is where we'll see consequences of that twist in part 1.
I loved this game but…does it hold up? I remember there being a REALLY bad stealth section for example.
"The gift of the goddess…"
"The gift of the goddess…"
Never say never (though I don't think so, however, I could see the release being sooner rather than later )
They did shadow drop that Mana collection and announce the SoM3 remake at E3 a few years back.
Believe
The colours on The Snitch's post probably represent multi platform.
SE like to do higher quality remasters that they can charge for. I don't expect SE to support the PS1/PSP Classics scheme except maybe for poo poo trash games, like Chocobo Racing

Current leading speculation is that
Zack is alive in another timeline, not theirs.
Oh I see.
FF7 Remake was a game I just played once, a bit on PC, then kinda just left it there. Didn't really delve too much into the theory side of things or talk about it much since I moved onto other games quite quickly.
That's the leading speculation huh?
Thing is, the existence of another timeline at all is still a major deviation since such a concept did not exist in the PS1 game. I can only wonder where they will take things? If that is the case, the only way forward is to merge the timelines. That or Zack will meet the party eventually.
