Merida, again
If Square pulls this off, all their past transgressions will be forgiven.

This game probably cost SE as much as a Hollywood blockbuster, and THAT is the quality of voice acting we get? Get your shit together Square, what in the 9 circles of Hell is this? It's like from a bad 90's cartoon.
Noticed this as well, but the biggest concern is that Nomura sucks as a game designer. He should stick to drawing.

Noticed that, too. Especially Barret. Every line from him is cringeworthy. If it's going to be hammy then they should just go all-in and get Mr. T.

It looks... Messy. It might be great, or it might be shit, but its certainly messy. There seem to be platofrming sections where you hang from the rafters as Tifa, and gunning sections as Barret, and some kind of Bamham scanning shit as Cloud. In addition to the ever present Uncharted "platforming", minigames, and of course the standard combat. And a load of cutscenes.

TBH FF7 was pretty messy.

Eh, looks all right, except

1/ No Nobuo, hallowed be thy name, just generic music

2/ That fucking voice acting where Yuffie and half the cast are plucked from a grade school Disney cosplay theatre held by eunuchs

That is FF7 gameplay, and especially in the Corneo sequences.

One of the cool aspects of this remake is that die hard ff7 fans will eventually realise how ridiculous its story actually is.

That is if we could see the original story under this mess, they've already screwed up the first Turks scene by turning it into an outright boss fight, there's a random new SOLDIER, everyone has a motorcycle, apparently monsters are raiding Tifa's bar for some reason...

Doesn’t look so bad to me. It seems less action orientated then I thought. And they nailed the atmosphere of FF7. I can see this doing very very well with the mainstream audience.

The combat sucks. It looks even worse than in FFXV... this is going to be awful. Just look at that camera perspective... Too close to the ass. Well I suppose it will be ok while playing as Tifa but I can't say the same when you are controlling Barret... unless that's your thing.

Do not be fooled by those cinematics. It's Squeenix after all.

Looks like most of the budget was used for cinematics instead of gameplay -- just like FFXV.
I miss the old Squaresoft...

Why the unnecessary theatrics when the scorpion is destroyed? Ending it on the original countdown timer would have been fine.
