Another useless fancy cg trailer. Probably had a bigger budget than the remake itself.

FFVII is the only game I can think of that got mini games right. I don't remember how many hours I wasted on that snowboard thing...People have been begging for a FF7 remake for ages now. Now I can't wait for the inevitable butthurt when they remove all the goofy fun shit like Cloud dressing up as a girl, going in a steamy bath with a bunch of homosexuals, going on a date with Barrett and basically all the fun mini games from the Golden Saucer. Instead they'll get Final Fantasy Advent Children 7.
The worst thing that ever happened to Final Fantasy 7 is its fandom.
Do people even know what Final Fantasy 7 is anymore?
Joined:Relatively optimistic about this; it may not turn out great, but Final Fantasy XV is really, really terrific - so I wouldn't be surprised if the FFVII remake held a high quality.

I don't remember anything emo about FF7. Horror, yes (invading the Shinra complex then *something terrible happens*). Humour, self-irony, cute shit yes (minigames, Chocobos, even main map character models are chibi). Drama, yes (character death, cities getting blown up etc). Epic shit (WEAPONS hell yeah). But emo? Hell no. Like many said already Advent Children was a massive disappointment. I wanted a trip back into childhood and got an unbearable fuckfest instead.
I wouldn't call Cloud's issues being emo. He has pretty damn good reasons to be psychologically troubled, and this isn't even thrust into the open (only foreshadowed by his weird "hallucinations" and headaches, and a lot of people talking about this mysterious Zack motherfucker) until roughly two-thirds into the storyline. Cloud was left broken by the destruction of his hometown and the subsequent experiments by Hojo, as well as his already severely wounded self-esteem because he had failed to qualify for SOLDIER. The whole central internal conflict for him was that Cloud couldn't deal with being himself, he hated being Cloud Strife so he pretended he was Zack instead. That's a lot more genuine human element for motivations and character-building than you usually see in games (and it works even through the ramshackle translation). That's the recurring theme with all the party members, and one of the reasons why I think the game has serious legit acclaim for its story aspects, none of them are at peace with who they are and all of them except Aeris are losers of some sort. The story is much more about each of them coming to terms with their past, accepting who they are, and trying again without regrets, rather than saving the world.The only emo thing in FF7 got spiky hair, bigco..sword, and terrible angst. Though thank god not teenage angst.
It's even doubly erronous to go for that artstyle because modern cel-shading could really do justice to the original anime visuals.Do people even know what Final Fantasy 7 is anymore?
Most people nowadays think FFVII=AC, DoC, CC stuff.
Hence the cry for a remake with realistic graphic, even though the "realistic" style really goes against shitons of FFVII scenes.
Original FF7 still wins the best music in almost any game i've played. I wonder how much they'll butcher it.
It will have to be a redux version... no fucking way they remake the entire game with modern graphics, that shit was HUGE. Not to mention section such as Cloud cross-dressing and that weird base defense mini-game...
Still, I'm curious to see how this will turn out.
Some helpful... Person on Youtube already pieced it together from Crisis Core:Prep for a shitty orchestral remixOriginal FF7 still wins the best music in almost any game i've played. I wonder how much they'll butcher it.
Yes.Andyman Messiah will you be LPing this one?
The fucking Compilation of Final Fantasy 7 was the absolute worst thing to happen to Final Fantasy 7. It took a fairly concise, simple story and bloated it into this overly complicated mess filled with anime pretty boy villains (seriously, fuck Genesis). They're not just awful, they're worse than awful because they retroactively make Final Fantasy 7 shitty just by existing.
