I really like how spiritual the game's dipiction of life and death is and prefer them not to turn death into some rotating door.

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
This is my favorite part of that interview. Can he be cancelled for this?!?!?!??!?!
Also damn, I know people love to jump to conclusions but people are really running with shit here. Let's just wait until we have actual details before we start whining about stuff.
Cmon man
SE has given people plenty of reasons not to give them the benefit of a doubt
If anything I find the scrutiny inevitable
On a positive note I am impressed they nailed it with the visuals, battle system, and various other odds and ends. When it comes to reimagining the story my teeth start to grind a bit though
They need to be careful here
Yuck, filler.
Hope they release a "Complete" version of the game with all the new filler shit ironically excised.

I'm open to changes and additions, bring the Organization XIII ghosts, I don't care, as long as they make for fun fights, I'm in.
But for the love of God don't have a sidequest to save Aerith, and don't change who dies just to preserve the "shock value". Narrative quality should come first, not surprising players, or keeping things fresh. If making a different story is the priority, then maybe just make FFXVI instead of remaking the same story.

What they're saying is that an athlete with large breasts that aren't fastened by a sports bra make zero sense. If you want big floppy titties, go play DOA.
same, why give her only abs, that make no sense, also they said her chest would match the fitness but imo, her chest should be much smaller if she is training, unless she have implants
I think then they would have holy then and Sephiroth will have failed much earlier.
Their goal should be to elevate the source material so hopefully anything they add is in service to that goal in a compelling way
Im just worried based on who is at the helm and how previous efforts to "expand" FF7's world turned out
Don't tell Era, but I would have preferred they just redid the graphics, translation, polished the gameplay a bit and called it a day.
I saw Advent Children. It wasn't pretty.
Well actually it was, but you know what I mean.
But Holy actually failed in the end (even if it was successfully cast). And if Aerith is alive, there's no way she can command the lifestream to stop Meteor so the player went out of their way to save Aerith only to get the bad ending. Sephiroth's true body on the lifestream was just blocking Holy from surfacing.
People definitely have reason to be skeptical of Nojima after FFX -Will-'s exploding Tidus but all things considered they've tackled most other concern (goofy enemies are back, Tifa looks sensible, the core themes are the same if not amplified) pretty well. I'm guessing the rest of the team has reigned him in, it seems Nojima's worse impulses come out when he kinda has free reign.
Frankly the only thing I'm worried about is him trying to make that incredibly stupid "FFX is a FFVII prequel!" bit of his a reality.
if shinra came from another planet why are they making a rocket

I loved everything I saw and played at E3 enough that I'm not going to get uppity about the "Watchmen of Fate". I'll give them the benefit of the doubt but it's ok for others not to.
That ethics department part was clearly a joke : v
Would be cool if there's a chance to save Aeris, but it would trigger a bad ending where the meteor kills everyone because she kinda needs to die to cast Holy.
Maybe he meant that you don't recover MP by sleeping anymore. It would be silly af tho.
Edit: Oh, i was not the first to think about the save Aeris = bad ending thing, it seems haha

I don't know what the fuck they were thinking when writing that garbage
Clearly not about the characters
They said the overall story is the same..
Aerith dead guys lol...
Sounds like another RE2 is happening though, can't wait to play my GOAT video game over again.

There is a difference between being wary of something/someone and just making up stuff and then whining about the thing you just made up like a lot of people are doing here.

If anything it looks like it will PLAY beautifully which really gave me huge relief from the get go
The battle system setup is far better than I was expecting.
IIRC the part that implies the Cetra came from another planet was a mistranslation.
Maybe their ship crashed and they had to build their city from the wreckage.
My takeaway from this is that it took a whole separate ethics department to tell them that maybe Tifa's design should be toned down. Says something about their intent with her.
I'm happy they recognize the unsavory parts of the Honey Bee Inn. Some parts of it such as the hot tub scene definitely isn't something that needs to be preserved.
To be fair, there likely was no ethics department when Tifa's initial design was decided on.
What I remember reading was that Shinra from X-2 literally built a spaceship and founded the Shinra Company on the VII planet, which implies they've existed since the dawn of civilization on that planet barring the Cetra. I will admit it's been a while since I last looked into it, though.
I'd honestly be fine with FFVII and X existing in the same universe or even galaxy considering they have very similar afterlives (FFXIV too) but anything more than that makes me roll my eyes
I mean, does Aeris drop the white materia? Sounds like dipicting this alternate story would be clumsy.
Yeah they should just chuck that FFX connection right out the window
Yo!!! It looks amazing!!! It's FF13 done right with actual strategic elements. All they have to do is nail the story. I'm not sold on Cloud's english VA yet but I've only heard one-liners during battle mostly.
But yeah, they have to nail the story. I think it should just be two parts. IMO 3 and each game won't have its full potential. I mean how are you going to handle the traditional RPG element of grinding out to max level to take care of the optional quest and hardest fights? You can't keep resetting cloud and crew every game lol.
Im pretty much have to accept that its a high likelihood that they wont be able to please everyone and obviously im skeptical with Nojima writing it
Just gonna have to ride the roller coaster like the rest of you!
Is that an important plot point? I thought it just sat in the bottom of the lake the whole rest of the game.
Tifa's chest being restrained is a bad take not because of "censorship" or whatever, but because this is the type of attitude that a lot of girls who develop early have to deal with in a daily manner. Big breasted women are not inherently sluttier than women with average sizes.
If they were that concerned about the titillation they should have just gone ahead and redesign her outfit.

Haha I've had to back away from a lot of posts about FF7 due to getting annoyed at how many people are excited for more Advent Children/Compilation stuff shoved into the game. I feel ya there. A few extra pieces of lore would have been good sure but then the whole first part is in Midgar and I knew it was going to be a fun ride from there on.
I'm still buying part 1 in order to give them a chance, but I'm not excited at the prospect of 90% new content/"extra events" shoved into FF7 when the story in Midgar was pretty well done before.
Either way what we have is what we get, and "You always have the original" right? :P
That's a cool thought, but should they make having her live be easy (gameplay wise) and having her death harder to achieve for the good ending? Everyone would end up with the world destroyed and Sephiroth laughing lol.
What does Sephiroth even want? I remember a line from him like "I want to sail the cosmos and use this planet as my vessel, just as my mother did"
The fook does that mean Sephirot? You done gone and went crazy's
It's true. I am chronically pessimistic.
I used to be a Rose colored glasses kind of optimist...
But then Final Fantasy X-2 happened... Then Dirge of Cerberus happened... Then Final Fantasy XIII happened... Then Final Fantasy XIV 1.0 happened... Then... And this is the worst... Final Fantasy XV happened. The fetch quests... The hunts...the endless endless endless hunts. The empty ass open world that came out the same basic time as Assassin's Creed Origins with its fully realized Egypt, the horridly executed story, the worst action RPG gameplay ever comitted to a game, the absence of easy to use magic, the lack of a strong female party member, the next to unusable in game map and... All.... The.... jumping when I just want to talk to an NPC...
It broke me man. It broke me real bad.
It's true, and I'll probably be playing it alongside the Remake to see how things compare.
I just wish it didn't look like...
well, like it does.
I recently replayed it. When she dies and drops the white materia, it's seen as pale green and later confirmed by Bugenhagen in Disc 2 that it means the spell worked (or at least, it was cast successfully). The only reason why the party has to kill the actual Sephiroth at the northern crater is because he's blocking the Holy spell.
So, the only difference in storyline whether she's dead or not would be some different cutscenes where she's included, or for example you would skip the backtracking to the Forgotten City in Disc 2 and the hunt for the Cetra Key, since Aerith knows she did it and have something else happen instead.
Edit: an additional mission would be for example rescuing her after the escape from Junon scenario, or having her escape with the help of
Reeve

I thought after patches FF15 was supposed to be pretty good. I'm finally about to fight the final boss in DQ11 and planning to start 15 next, hope Im part of the fanbase that likes it.
It looks amazing though? I get the story concerns but how would you want this to look? Octopath Traveler or something?
I was being snarky haha. My bad. I can already tell with the change to the Bombing Mission and other things the original tone is changing a lot and that's "fine" I guess. But all the additions give me anxiety haha.
It's weird thinking of all the new fans being brought in possibly for this entry on their first time and then never seeing Midgar again in part 2 and getting half the story not shown until later.
The poster could be referring to the way the story looks, or the more "Advent Children" designs. Either way I don't think they mean what you think they mean. I don't think they were saying the "graphics are bad."
No, no, Remake looks amazing visually.
It's the original that I wish looked better, as it seems like these are going to be two (or three or four) largely different games, which means Final Fantasy VII forever looks the way it does.
I can't help but look at stuff like this:
And think "What if?"
Yeah, if someone asks me what the best way to play Final Fantasy VII is, I won't be pointing them to Remake. It's just so different, at least in terms of pacing, if nothing else, that it's basically a new game pretending to be an old one.
A lot of people are happy with "more" and the graphics alone, so I don't think I'll worry about FFVII:R being popular or that people will like it, just bums me out that writing/storytelling has gotten so...eh lately in games/movies/etc.
We'll see if we're wrong though haha
