yeah but I don't remember any scene where he became a cultist or one those retards in advent of children or whatever that was at the end of the trailer...
I mean IIRC that scene just represents the draw people with jenova cells feel to the Reunion. Not something that actually happens.
(Also technically Cloud is a unwilling cult member up until Tifa sets him right)

There's other shit (like Tifa which you pointed out) that contradicts more openly that irks me personally about the trailer tbh.

Edit: You know what? Nah, you're right it sucks too. I'm being too lenient.

I'm not the biggest fan of FF7 (it's ok, particularly it's story), but I can't help but feel that most fans wanted a retelling/remake.

NOT a kinda sorta time fuckery sequel.

FF7 fans just wanted FF7 but with prettier graphics.
Square: advertises a FF7 remake, instead gives fans a Kingdom Hearts game.


Goodness gracious!

Also is that Crispin Freeman narrating at the beginning?

It's an alternative, a what if, not a sequel.
No, it's a sequel: Aerith and Sephiroth repeatedly reference the events of the first game, because they both experienced them already and Sephiroth is making a conscious decision to do it differently this time.

It doesn't help that if you don't speak Japanese you basically are not getting any of Sephiroth's dialogue. In all of those scenes where Cloud is seeing a phantom Sephiroth saying nonsense like "Let thine hatred kindle in thine heart..." Seph's actually saying something like "Hey, Cloud, that was fun, wasn't it? Let's do it again"

Four years of development time, two BDXL discs, the game is going to be huge.

I can hardly wait to see how all of the events culminate in the final chapter.

I’m slight surprised the combat is so similar to the first part. I had hoped they’d swap out the lock-on and allow you to aim freely, and put a jump in there. As is with the lock-on system, gun focused Barret is pretty fucking boring. But if you were allowed to freely aim like a third person shooter (and Dragon’s Dogma) that gun focused Barret class would probably be pretty awesome.

The team-up attacks are a plus though.

On one hand, it was a good trailer, but on the other hand, I was disappointed with part one.

First X: Afterburth and now FFVII Afterbirth!

:bounce:

FFVIIs story is so flawed. I really wished Sephie died in the fire at Nibelheim and what we see of Sephie is just a feint and it's really Jenova fucking with people.

Instead, it's the exact opposite where Jenova dominates everyone but Sephie is just SO badass he turned the tables and dominated her, making an eldritch, planet eating horror his bitch.

It's because Sephiroth was injected with Jenova Cells while in the womb. That's probably why he can resist her.
That's why the lifestream is unable to absorb him.

Grabbed this from Square-Enix's recent blog post:
New FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH Preview
Easy” difficulty allows people to focus on the story rather than battles, while “Normal” provides a reasonable challenge for most players. In the newly added “Dynamic” difficulty, enemies grow stronger as your characters do - perfect for players who crave constant challenge.

There's going to be a twist at the end of this game where we learn evil King Mickey is behind this shit and the next game in the trilogy is going to be called Kingdom Hearts 4 Rebirth Are Forever Day Never Die 3.14 because Nomura is a piece of fuckery.

Every new character seems to have a crap personality, is a kid, or have crap design, just like the first one.

Please stop posting in this thread and giving this shit exposure, bros. Like everything post-FF12, it's an absolute disgrace, a dishonor to the series' legacy.

I thought in Japanese culture, honor is serious business? Very obviously not, because like the west, most companies have been shovelling absolute garbage en-masse that disgraces all the classic IPs.
