Good work by Soldier First Class. I really think he puts to bed this accusation that Square is ret-conning and changing the story fundamentally, such as with the Shinra conspiracy displayed in the demo.

"And such a waste of good fireworks, just to get rid of vermin like you."

The game more than alludes to it. Watch to see the point fleshed out:


I have come to the understanding that no matter how many times you thoroughly explain stuff to some people. They are so hardcore into their own head canon that they will gladly die on that hill. Great video from Soldier as usual, regardless. :)

Demo didn't do much for me. Stiff gameplay, bullet sponge enemies especially bosses, bland environment. Presentation is nice overall though.

You should probably make a thread for this!

I really hope we get Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core in this engine. Say what you want about em they are still canon and even if they are smaller, condemsed experiences I still think they are necessary. This universe is so massive at this point they could reimagine so many interesting parts of it that exist within compilation FF7.

Isn't FF7R in a different canon than the Compilation?

Either way, there's no way they're going to remake those games in this very expensive engine that's time-consuming to render.

I'm kind of curious to know how many downloads the demo go on PSN. I'm sure it was huge for SE.

I think it really was huge. I've been keeping track of social media such as Twitter and YouTube and I've seen both people who never played a Final Fantasy game before as well as people who were skeptical of the Remake suddenly being overjoyed after playing the demo and hyped for the full release. Extremely curious to see sales next month.

He'll probably get a playable segment in part 3 or whatever. All we need is Zack in Nibelhiem, no point of doing anything else or introducing Genesis or Angeal or whatever.
Yeah that's kinda what I mean. Though I do think those elements will work there way in but we'll see.

In terms of the remake though yeah I expect Zack at Nibelhiem and his last stand to be taken from Crisis Core.

The digital:physical ratio will be interesting to see for this game thanks to the coronavirus situation

I want Angeal to be included somehow :(

And Cissnei. Best character introduced post-FFVII

Think I might go back and replay the original some. It'll be interesting to compare and contrast with the remake when it's out.

I have a physical Deluxe edition on preorder and if it misses the delivery date I will be salty as hell.

(And then I'll probably get it on digital because I'm weak and won't want to wait.)

I really wanted to get the Deluxe edition but April 10th is holiday over here and I need to play this game on release day, going digital then.

I would love to have the compilation games handed off to another team to be released between the installments of the main remake series. Since the majority of the assets required are already being developed for the remake, a B team could handle it and the wait between releases wouldn't seem so far apart.

The problem is that most largely don't really work until the remake project is concluded. I posted my idea for a list earlier, but Crisis Core, Advent Children and DoC all have to wait until after it's done.

Yeah most Japanese companies don't usually announce going gold like Western companies do with the disc and everyone in the picture... except Kojima I guess haha..
It's usually found in small part of the interview like how Nomura mentioned it during (I think) famitsu interview recently.

Just listened to this for the first time. Had chills go down my spine around the 1:30 mark when the strings section kicks in makes me totally excited for April 10th.



And then I wonder how many years away it'll be until we hear the Remake version of One Winged Angel.
