Final Fantasy VII Remake General Discussion Thread [Open Spoilers for Original FFVII ONLY please!]

The Compilation kinda put a damper on me wanting anything FFVII-2- i mean to an extent that's what a lot of it was, and it was bad. That's the whole reason I had some trepidation about this remake to begin with. It had nothing to do with the battle system, but everything to do with Nojima being a horrible writer nowadays and Nomura not being much of a storyteller either, nearly every depiction or story with the FFVII characters since the original game has been bad and it all goes back to those two. To me they have to prove that they can still write these characters in a compelling way for me to want anything more with them.
All those past pictures of Sephiroth before he goes evil looks so silly to me. Like you can't take them seriously at all. How did people in this universe NOT KNOW that THAT dude was gonna become a supervillain??
AC's writer was the same writer as the original game and this remake.
I just went to listen to the FFVII world map theme and this one autoplayed after.
Hadn't played FF9 but this had me sittin at my comp letting it finish before getting up to do what I had to do smh (Well I listened for like 10 mins)

He has pretty hair and a nice smile.
His is more the capacity of a scenario writer, though. The original FF7's story concept itself mostly came from Sakaguchi and Kitase (Advent Children's was Nomura's).
The main staff for AC is the same than here. Produced by Kitase, written by Nojima, directed by Nomura.
Masato Kato and Motomu Toriyama also contributed to parts of the script but the only thing I remember specifically is Toriyama being responsible for the Honey Bee Inn stuff.
That's an incredibly reductive assessment of how storyboarding works for these kinds of projects.
I remember reading that Toriyama suggested a scene where Jessie, Biggs and Wedge get jealous of Tifa and Barret's ability to "merge" with Cloud and try it themselves to no avail.
I am kinda assuming Toriyama is involved in some capacity with this remake so I wonder if he will work on the honey bee part again lol
Yea, the main plot thrust of "Cloud chasing after Sephiroth" was Nomura's idea. I was more talking about the world concept and story theme.
nomura also created the story
Something I really worry about if the 2 parter rumor ends up true: I can't possibly believe they would have all playable characters ready to go, so perhaps they'll re-arrange the story so that some characters don't show up until part 2.
So if part 1 ends with Aerith's death, that means the characters in part 2 would never meet her. That would be extremely disappointing if that was the case: one of my headcanons is that Aerith's death played a major role in Yuffie growing closer to the other characters (supplementary material says that even after restoring her village to glory with Materia, she would still constantly visit her friends).

its not quite clear
Nomura: For FF7 I worked on character design, storyboarding, and the underlying story.(Since Sakaguchi says above that Kitase did the story, Nomura probably means here that he did the underlying setting/background/story, what might be called the larger "world" of the game. Kitase probably did the immediate story between the characters.) I have too many favorite parts to sum up quickly here… well, I like it all.

Thanks guys.

Welcome to the forum, I'm a fan of your work and I hope you enjoy your stay.
Also, I liked your Easy Allies crossover. If only it had happened a few days after the Remake re-reveal instead of before.
This is partly why I am really hoping that rumor is not true. That would make the first part contain most of the locations and all of the characters. It feels really inefficient to divide it at that point unless they rearrange things a lot.
Thank you for the link!
I always loved the sky backdrops in this game. The use of orange in this one, as well as the Corel mine track backdrop and the scene with Tifa and Cloud under the high wind were among my favorite images in the game.
Where was the road going to lead :think:

I always thought they were expanding Midgar outwards past the main outer circle seeing the plates stretching out around the sides, maybe it was all under construction at the time.
Hoping the rumor that there will be a public demo next month is true so I can at least try it before deciding on whether or not I should give this a chance.
By the way, as a new member I want to make a thread but an unable to. Can someone pm me and I'll send you the content and you can make it in my stead? Thank you. It's about what any recent jrpgs I should maybe play and I'd like suggestions. Thank you.

ps4? dragon quest 11, nier automata, persona 5, valkyria chronicles 4
When I first played this game. This was the most beautiful image and graphic I've played on a video game. Looking at this made me feel sad and nostalgic. FF VII man, the feels. The emotions
;_;
I've come to like this one more recently because when I was young I never noticed you could see the slums far down below
Dang I never even realized the view in that scene until this comment
Doesn't Jessie say the upper plate is only 50 meters above the slums? Sure seems a good further up.
Remember Cloud somehow ends from the top of ShinRa tower to the same spot in AC lol
But thats clearly OP Aerith using her power from the grave like when she cured the Geostigma
I laughed at both. Well done. :P
I would have given both Spider-Men Cloud hair if I had any skill in that department.
Thanks guys.

Thanks for the good FF7 coverage. Keep it up!
What kind of JRPG are you in the mood for? My 2018 GOTY is called Dragon Quest XI. Game sides on traditional but it doesn't an excellent job at everything it sets out to do and still managed to pleasantly surprise me in more than one occasion. May i recommend that?
"How exactly did you figure out where our secret base is"
"Oh, well there was a pinball machine in a bar one of agents went to- "
"...Say no more"
Cant wait for the one winged angel theme or the other dark creepy soundtracks. The music in FFVII was really great.
I never paid attention to the drawn map on that whiteboard. Think it could be applied to any area we go to? I don't think it fits the reactors, though.
Will need the omega HD AI upscale before I can read it! Plans on the table as well.
Tell me about it. Even earlier, when the Cosmo Canyon theme kicks in around the 6-minute mark and the whole build-up to it. Goddamn, that's good.
I am Nanaki, son of Seto... Warrior and protector of Cosmo Canyon
I hope they do that whole part of the game justice.
