    Is it weird this makes me all the more interested in the game now? Looking where they screwed up the original gets annoying, but knowing they approached the remake with full-on butcher mode at least makes me marvel the trainwreck.

    "As a non-fan and someone that didn't play pretty much any FF game, what does that mean/"

    sounds like a over-dramatic convoluted flashy take for the old adage: "everything new is shit"

    I don't even consume much jap shit anymore and I thiink I may know what he means though and I'll illustrate with games I know you have played.

    See: RE1 vs Code Veronica or RE5, or DMC 1 vs DMCRemake or DMC5

    wtf is wesker with his flashy convoluted bs. In the original he was just a traitor plain and simple. And he died. Like really died. Why was he brought back from the dead with general relativity-defying powers and a more complex backstory that is uninteresting as all hell.
    And whatever the fuck is the bullshit in the new DMC games, I don't care for it.
    The older ones of each respective series had style (and so much campiness where they failed). The new ones try to have style but it just comes across as tryhard and weird, boring and unnecessary.

    I can think of so many examples like this.

    They didn't lie when they said that this game isn't for PS1 Final Fantasy VII fans.

    Holy shit, while reading the storyline leaks I somehow replicated the perfect laugh of Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal 2. I'm impressed with myself.

    Looks like they took massive creative liberties with the ending of Midgar and they went full Advent Children. Looks horrible. Completely ruins the impact Kalm flashback had in the original.

    My biggest hope now is that the guy who does the translation patch stops being a little bitch and allows his mod to work with 7th Heaven so I can easily use that with better graphical mods. Well, that's my biggest realistic hope anyway. My unrealistic hope is that this remake pisses off a bunch of skilled fans and they get together to do their own remake in the Unreal engine. They could probably get away with it if they just do it in secret and not make any announcements or release anything until it's 100% completed.

    That's not unrealistic, that's downright impossible. Takes way too long to make everything from scratch.
    Unless in future XX we could train an AI to completly remake the game for us and we just had to polish it
    (Which would still take modders quite a while but at least makes it feasible.)

    Same reason texture mods exploded last year with AI upscaling.

    It would only be a huge task if you tried to make it a huge third person thing like the official remake. If you kept the original camera angles and did 2d backdrops it wouldn't be that big of a deal. AI upscaling can do half of the work for you if you just used the AI upscaled backdrops as a base and touched them up where needed.

    It would still be a huge task since you need to program all the gameplay, script everything, redo animations since you can't just copy them and so on (And you wouldn't because that'd defeat the whole purpose) Theres tons of work involved here aside from backgrounds which as you said is probably the only thing you can reuse and even then theres lots of stuff involved there.

    The most sensible option would be creating a more modern engine from scratch for the game like other projects have been doing (Though we already have a failed attempt there for FF7 in QGears), but thinking you can just stuff it into UE is insane.

    > Call it a "remake"
    > It's basically a sequel of Advent Children with a Kingdom Hearts 3 style ridiculous time travel plot.

    Who's the audience for this game again? Is this supposed to be some kind of "epic plot twist"?

    Tell that to the devs, there is no way they introduce this time travel bs and messing with established events and not have it lead to saving Aerith.
