Squeenix Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade - now on Steam

[Whisky]

People should rewrite last century novels so that they meet current writing standards.

"After a long and winding road through the countryside of Transylvania, we finally reached the castle and I came face-to-face with the sparkling form of Count Dracula."

Hmmm. I've had Crisis Core on my HDD for ages (God bless emulation). Worth a play

That game has soul. It brought tears into my eyes.

 

[Athelas]

It's going to be terrible.

Like the original.

 

[Diablo169]

Nostalgia on this scale is hilarious. People dont realise how much their tastes will have changed
in the interim years, much better story's have been told since then.

The game came out 18 years ago so i was 12 at the time. Even if this is a like for like remake, what passed for "best game ever, Oscar winning plot!" from kids perspectives back then is going to make then sit there and think "What the fuck is this shit" these days.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

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.

They're gonna cut a lot of corenrs, yeah. Probably a wise decision, the now-adult FF7 fanbase doesn't actually want to play FF7 again, they want to "relive the FF7 experience"!

Okay, all they have to do to not fuck this up is to keep the battle system and gameplay exactly the same aside from improving and adding more minigames. They must also faithfully recreate every exact detail of the original story (including Cloud crossdressing and getting fucked in the ass by gay men in a brothel

Cloud's crossdressing segment will be interesting too.

Hey, remember how they made Cloud a super-emo for Advent Children because that was the fan perception of him, despite him not acting like that at all in FF7?

They're gonna do that again.

At least generic angst will probably be more lively than his outright depressed Dissidia incarnation.

Pro-tip for Square Enix: when your 'fanbase' cares more about shit that you made 17 fucking years ago than the brand-spanking new games you are making, then you're doing something horribly wrong.

The fact that you (and myself included) don't like the new action FF games (seriously where the fuck is my turn-based combat), however does not reflect the millions and millions and millions of people who continue to play and buy the new games. If this new shit was not selling, square-enix would be out of business.

 

[lightbane]

Here comes that trailer-joke again... Ah, wait, are you serious, Squenix?
Well then, as long as they know what they're doing, it can't be that ba-

3 inependent sources claim there will be remake of worse FF game. It will be coproduction between Sony and SE like in case of Capcom SFV. Developer probably won't be SE but third party studio, probably Level5

If that's true, nevermind then. If these hacks fuck it up as bad as White Knight Chronicles was, the fans' butthurt will collapse the Internet.

I think he means the enitre Square portfolio. The new Hitman got a limp-dicked "yaaaaaay" from the crowd, Uncharted 4 not even that (silent reception followed by laughter when it froze), while remakes/sequels of 30 year old games got the "OMG SO COOL" reactions.

Or will they ?
FF7 h wise was long but only really there are like 3-4 bigger locations that require huge amount of assets. Rest are fairly standard and they don't need to design them they just need to recreate them in better version which is precisely what they did in that CGI trailer

Also even if they would do it FF7 will sell truckloads of coppies. Probably even more than FFXV if done properly.

ANYWAYS

Game will be done by Cybersomething who did earlier Naruto games not Level5. I guess SE will be directing and they will do assets and programming.

The truth, unfortunately. SEE ALSO: Resident Evil

Can you elaborate? Because...

20 years of nostalgia.

Also, FF7 Remake is, technically speaking, a brand-spanking new game. It will another modern jRPG.

I got very invested in the story, and the final hour just hit me in the heart, despite the fact that I knew what will happen, since it is hinted in FF7. I don't want to spoil anything, so I leave it that.

If that shit was selling they wouldn't be desperate enough to remake FFVII.

You think they are desperate for cash?

That FF VII remake is a guaranteed 1000% gigantic solid gold cash cow for them.

 

[Crooked Bee]

They've been doing really good financially lately. I don't think they're desperate, except maybe for any FF game to reach FF7's level of acclaim.

 

[Trodat]

SE should take a deep breath and go back to their roots. Use FF6, 7 and 9 as an inspiration.

The older Final Fantasy games were real-time with twitch elements.

 

[Archibald]

Twitching was optional.

"Halp! I don't have enough time to choose Attack, Defend, or Item! I knew I should have played more shmups!"

So you're saying the systems weren't complex enough to make use of the advantages of being turn-based (having time to deliberate on your turn)? Thanks for making my point for me.

 

[vonAchdorf]

Nomura & CyberConnect2 = FF7 the ARPG :D

Hopefully not, since it's called a remake, not a reimagining.

 

[eric__s]

You know, the more I think about it, the more I realize just how good that whole crossdressing Wall Market segment was. You have a squatting contest with burly dudes for a wig. I can't wait to see a burly guy's rippling thighs as his ass hovers above the ground in full HD.

Man, all of Midgar is just so good but Wall Market takes the cake.

 

[Machocruz]

I already implied in this same thread that FF7 combat was simplistic dogshit. What I'm saying is your standard for twitch is lower than mine. Git some help for that arthritis, codger.

You might want to actually read my posts before throwing out the insults. 'Twitch elements' referred to some of the timing elements (press an extra button at the right time for the attack animations). That is separate from the real-time element, which encourages you to simply choose auto-attack for every battle instead of taking precious time to scroll down a list of dozens of spells/items while enemies continue to attack (in theory anyway, the games are easy enough that this isn't really a problem).
