Final Fantasy VII Remake director Tetsuya Nomura confirms Honey Bee Inn cross-dressing event, new events, dialogue options, and enemies
- Thread starter ULTROS!
- Start date
Hmmmmm...
A) Believe the developers and what we have saw already with our own eyes
B) Believe you
I know it's shocking but I think most of us will go with the choice A.
Don't know if that means they are quests though, if they are hopefully you aren't forced to do them to progress the main story
Tifa's underwear colour confirmed as black. I'm surprised that's the information that comes out.
It will probably be an optional side quest.
It will probably be an optional side quest.
Several FF games are about changing fate, it's not a novel theme. FF VII's themes and comparison to global warming may be more relevant than it was back then, uncanny how much Shinra is like Trump.
Maybe Cloud can go into the lifestream with her and pull her out again like Tifa did with Cloud.
You must be chronically pessimistic or something.
Complaining about having too much of something when you can only make assumptions about what that something is. Why not wait and see what all the extra content is first?
Wasn't that a cut side quest from the original or was that just a rumour? It had something to do with the Aerith ghost glitch.
That's not really how it works. Cloud physically fell into the Lifestream while still alive. To become part of it you have to die.
That could be it but iirc you get Red XIII just during the last act of Midgar story in a way that you're locked to keep going forward. They might let you free to explore but I wonder how they could do it.
Maybe you get him, play a bit with him and the game ends, go figure.
I just want to see him because he should control pretty different to everyone else. It'll be great.
There are spooky ghosts now. Sephiroth talks to Cloud in dark alleyways. The story has been changed, surely even your eyes can see it.
So you're saying it's less novel than just copying the story from 30 years ago? You can still do that other stuff too.
Maybe they can kill Cloud.
After playing ff15 I can't help but agree that's what it could mean, but not going to expect that right now
I admit it's been a while since I played it. I can't remember how much of this they explained in the actual game.
Did Aeirth know she needed to be dead in order for Holy to work?
Holy didn't work. Once she was dead she commanded the Lifestream from within it and that's what rose up and destroyed Meteor. I imagine she probably kinda had an idea that it might be the case since she didn't even try to defend herself.
No because Aeris is dead, Cloud wasn't and had mako poisoning, but that's not the point, you can come up with any fantasy reason to bring Aeris back but it's a shit idea.
The ending scene would't be as bittersweet. FF VII paints death in a poetic way, you return to the planet and your soul is one day born from the planet again, but Aeris is the last cetra, so she joins the promised land, and leaves a way for the heroes. It jars with the source material to say well "actually maybe this could be avoided..." or someone else dies and the death doesn't become as triumphant as Aeris powers with the lifestream
I expect a remake to celebrate the source material rather than just do anything because it defies expectactions.
So much that hasn't been answered or I just haven't been keeping up.
- What is their proposed release cycle: Yearly? Every other year? Every three?
- How many episodes do they plan to split this up into?
I thought Holy didn't work because they took too long and the Meteor got too close.
Not sure how I feel about a new story element like that being added. Feels a lot like they had meetings that went along the lines of "We need to get these damn gamers to buy all 3 parts, but that's a problem because they know the ending already! We'll just insert a new plot into the story over top of the existing story! They'll eat that shit up!".
Wait and try it before jumping to conclusions, maybe it'll turn out really cool who knows.
Again Part 1 will be huge and extended, me personally i don't want the same exact game as old VII, so im excited to see the new things.
Yeah, I think it's too late for that. If they wanted to do a faithful remake we wouldn't be spending dozens and dozens of hours in Midgar chasing ghosts. That's why I want to happen parallel to the original, rather than rewriting it.
There won't be a cycle and they don't know how many episodes it will be. They did say the future ones should come together much faster than the initial.
This will not be handled well by the Internet , pre-release. (Probably not post-release either)
Big chests do exist, you know. I'm 100% in love with Tifa's model but an ethics department asking for a shrinked chest because otherwise it'd be unnatural feels a bit weird to me.
I'm not interested in incorporating meta aspects into the story, or changing its theme.
They've already said the main story hasn't changed.
If you're worried about "fetch" quests how about wait until the game comes out and read reviews before you buy? Instead of trying to decipher every interview to justify why you "know" there will be fetch quests?
Do i think there will be some side quests that may amount to fetch quests? Sure. But overall the story is expanded and we'll be clearly spending more time with AVALANCHE.
Also Aerith is dying. That will never change

You would hope!
I sincerely hope they exercise a degree of restraint and keep the story relatively grounded to its source
Was not pleased with how they chose to "expand" the story with Crisis, Advent, Dirge and so forth. They struck gold with the original and should go back and examine why that worked and why all the extra shit they did afterwards didnt
It's not about shrinking the size. It's about not having crazy jiggle.
To be honest, I'm not too interested in the Remake at all, so that might be why we have a disagreement.
They're gonna go full Rebuild of Evangelion on us. Cloud saves Aerith...and dooms the world. You Can (Not) Hear the Cry of the Planet.
God help us...
Original 7 seems like his peak (ok ok debatable... I know we have a lot of FFX fans on here)
Well, I assume it's Sephiroth speaking through Jenova.
Or shit, maybe it's actually Genesis in disguise, who knows.
I don't share the same level of wariness when it comes to Square changing things, we can always play the original game. But I will say I don't want Genesis at all.
I'm just gonna assume the watchmen of fate are failed Sephiroth clone experiments, giving them a more pro-active role in the story outside of just standing around being enigmatic. It'd make sense they'd follow Cloud around, too, since he's essentially one of their "brothers"'. Also the "fate" could just as well be Clouds - they're ushering him to the Northern Crater.
IIRC the remnants of Sephiroth from Advent Children similarly turned to black mist.
also I wish Nomura didn't mention the "ethics department" because now a certain subsection of the internet is going to act like Square Enix has an orwellian censorship department when in reality it's basically just PR.

That would be acceptable though were't the failed ones mostly mindless mako poisoned zombies?
They gonna retcon that and have some basically be like the Advent children clones with smoke monster magic?
Ah, fun. Baseless assumptions.
It also pretends that the original game didn't have "filler."
I actually didn't hate the story outline for Subspace Emmisary, it just didn't come through in the actual game at all.
I assume these guys would be experiments that straight up lost their corporeal forms and are purely based on the instinctual urge to get Cloud to Sephiroth. I think the mindless zombies would still be around, if only so we can get Aerith to say "this guy IS sick!"
