Play the original.
If you already know the major surprises, then you have nothing to lose.
Crisis Core is a great, fun game. But do not play it before the original game unless you want to get majorly spoiled.
Playing through New Threat for a change of pace leading up to the release of the remake. It's so damn good.
I think it may enhance the experience--especially since you're already spoiled on some big stuff. I think of the new one as more of an adaptation than a remake, so it's sort of like reading a book and then having a chance to see the TV show based on the book. And I bet there will indeed be plenty of nods to the old fans.
If anyone who has been having trouble downloading the FFVII REMAKE & FFXIV PURCHASE BONUS THEME -PRELUDE- it has finally been fixed!
I wish they'd just let me BUY that shit. I have XIV + Shadowbringers, but I have a physical deluxe of VII preordered.
Appears it just rotates screen shots and slowly and slightly pans in or out, only noticed 4 screens. 2 characters faces and 2 city images.
I want that midgar dynamic design O_O
Cool there are also some free designs here.
We also definitely need new avatars for this game. I mean where's FF XV or other games. We only have XIV free avatars.
Do we think there is any chance this is getting delayed due to Corona? It's ramping up quickly which may stop the physical distribution of the game I suppose?
Do you think they will still do a digital only release if required?

Noticed the first theme has the overworld music playing. First time I've heard it for the remake, I think? And also why is the song there when the remake stops at the part where the overworld begins aaaah. That's gonna be one hell of a tease, if they start playing it and then 'to be continued'...
I realise that but if the virus stops the physical disribution of the game (which is a big possibilty) then SE may not want a digital only release as it would affect numbers.
I mean, either they release the game digitally and get some immediate profit or don't release it at all and get no profit...
I believe the first delay was for disc production when the virus first hit China slowing production. Even with the virus there hasn't been much disruption in distribution of goods.
I'd say, play the original FIRST, then wait until the Remake is released and play that one NEXT, THEN after both have settled in your mind, go into the FFVII Compilation (if you really want to, that is).
The thing is, the FFVII Compilation CAN'T exist without FFVII, BUT FFVII can exist perfectly fine without the Compilation.

Hopefully SE will be smart and get the game out early. They were certainly eager to take the money quickly.
DPD Ireland say the 10th is a normal delivery day but still nervous they won't deliver and it will be Tuesday before they will deliver again.
I think you can disable music for dynamic themes on the PS4. Not 100% sure and not around my system to check.
I'd bet on regular Bahamut for the first part. Could see it being the final summon.
Yeah, it's far too loud. Shame, the subtle effect of the lights really puts it over the edge and makes it a great looking theme.
You can disable the music as i do this also with other dynamic or static designs
I care about the turks more than avalanche tbh, i hope the characters from BC are in.
I'm definitely expecting more Turks. Maybe just not in this one.
You ain't crazy. AC's CG visuals are outdated by modern sense. Even Kingsglaive looked better in that sense. FFVII Remake's CG kicks AC's CG's ass, IMO. Also, I'll always prefer something with color over something that's, well, GREY. When I think of AC, I think muted colors and GREY. FFVII Remake is colorful has hell, just like the original game.
I kinda thought the CG of the movie would look better than in game at least but it doesn't appear to. And yeah, the color palette is so drab. The character designs are awful, especially Barrett. The only thing they did better was Tifa's outfit which I hope we get as an optional outfit or something.
Well, the compilation canon is they all went into hiding following the defeat of Zirconiade but they all returned to help evacuate Midgar. I suspect you'll run into hiding Turks throughout the world like Cissnei lounging on the beach at Costa Del Sol or something, and then they'll probably show them returning to save Midgar during meteorfall.
Believe it or not, but Advent Children COMPLETE has a fuller color palette than the OG Advent Children. There are some very beautiful scenes they added to the COMPLETE version that look really beautiful.
I gotta give credit for AC complete on improving the story a lot. Having watched the original cut a couple times, a lot of stuff didn't make sense. The complete cut is much better done. And the visuals do look pretty good still, even if I don't like some of the art direction, but I'm just shocked that remake looks even better.
Only personal gripe I have with the FFVII Remake designs is that they kept Barret's tattoo as being that strange Jack Skellington skull with half its side head on fire, when the original was just a pretty sweet looking skull spitting flames from its mouth.
Never a fan of that redesign and it was done within Nomura's "bad years" (mid-00s) where he was trying to make everything look edgy and shit. That's the same time he was making Vincent's DoC's transformations into "living tribal tattoos". For the most part, Nomura has gotten past that phase and I will always think of it in the same vein of an edgy teen drawin edgy shit on their folder in high school, then years later finding that folder in a box in their parents garage and thinkin' how lame that shit was.
Random thought. I think it's a safe guess that Yuffie and Vincent will be mandatory characters, so what point in the story do you think they should introduce Yuffie?
There's really a whole lot of nothing between Kalm and junon. I don't expect much out of Fort Condor so all we got is Mythril Caves. they could do something early on with her there
After crossing the sea, it isnt that much until you get to Cait Sith.
Vincent is obvious unless they push him back into another/new event
I heard that a big reason why the Remake looks better than AC is that while AC has the pre-rendered image quality and ray-tracing your expect of a CG film, it lacks the physically-based rendering that's become common across games.

Yuffie might get introduced this game since they're mentioning Wutai a lot. We may at least see her in some way. If they're positioning for a war against Wutai then they'll probably hint at the most important character in Wutai.

It's possible, but from a game development standpoint i think it might be too much work to make such a high workload character model when they didn't even have enough time to finish Red XIII's combat.
It is pretty much expected of them to be mandatory. This isn't the 90s anymore.
That would make a lot of sense. PBR is one of my favorite things that became standardized this generation, alongside real-time cinematic.
