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

that's why I think we won't see any true open world stuff, it's just way too much with too little content. I would be fine with an updated overworld, or just some playable hubs between areas, FF12 style.
Nanaki calling Bugenhagen grandpa is cute, leave him alone. Don't have to be blood related to treat someone like family.
I forgot about that nightmarish Tidus face
It's special Dissidia NT renders

Cloud in NT look ugly. I prefer Cloud AC more than thisDissidia NT has 2 CG renders from Visual Works
I prefer the bottom render
Dissidia NT Tifa makes me appreciate what they're doing with the character models in Remake even more. There's something about the style and the modelling that makes the Nomura school of character design work without them looking like dolls.
Like, Tifa looks alright I guess (face and hair too boring, but hey), but Cloud is atrocious imo. There's something about him that's very off-putting.

He's really, really good. I love the Zelda ones as well.
This was my favourite of Gormans
I kinda enjoyed the PSP ones, but yeah.
I know it's basically a meme at this point, but imagine what Arcsys could do with a FF 2D fighting game.
I'd also want stages that aren't as empty and boring as the ones currently in (I understand why they're the way the are in the Dissidia series, but still). As a whole, I never truly cared about them beyond being able to play as these characters and, even then, the design of some of them I quite dislike.
Yep, about every feature is better in FF VII-R, it's not even close imo.
Strong woman ready to kick ass or blank-faced doll with poppin' tits? Hmmmm... tough choice...
never been a big Team Ninja fan
At least the NT design isn't gratuitous with her chest, I can appreciate that at least. But yeah, the remake design is just too good.
Speaking of sad moments
- Elmyra waiting for her husband to return from the war
- Barret watching his town go up in flames
- Actually that whole Dyne subplot was pretty heartbreaking. Dyne saying stuff like "there's too much blood on my hands" and Barret responding with "My hands aren't any cleaner" once Dyne kills himself. Whew that got to me.

- pillar destruction
- nibelheim
- zack parents asking for any news about their son to cloud and cloud says he never heard of him.
- nanaki and his dad
- cid never achieving his dream
- cloud in the temple of ancients
- aerith death
- aerith parents story
- sephiroth fake truth and puppet cloud
- yuffie talking about wutai
- vincent past
- zack past
Prof. Gast and Ifalna's video journals were pretty sad to watch, yeah.
- Cloud's childhood
- Cloud's wheelchair movement when he's heavily poisoned
- Fort Condor bird RIP
The whole game is just dripping with melancholy.
Also the animation. Animation exists to express life and character. But yeah.
Speaking of wheelcloud, in the original if you speak to him while he's like that, he mentions Xenogears in his babbling. Would be cool if in the remake they make him babble about Spira just to further fuel the "same universe" fire
To be fair, the only people capable of making any sense of Xenogears' story were probably also heavily under the influence. The rest of us were like Tifa.
jkjk I enjoyed Xenogears well enough.
Eh, it's hard to say. I think they are going to want a working airship/vehicles eventually; we might see something on the scale of FFXIII's Pulse areas, or something like the big 'wide linear' driving sections from Uncharted 4/Uncharted:LL.
I think the way we enter towns/non-overworld will definitely be walking across a zone border, though, for sure. Won't be able to approach them from any angle.
While it was unfortunately very late in the game, Pulse was pretty cool to explore. Nice, varied landscape and areas with interest options for exploration without just being enormous for enormous' sake. Much more fun to poke around in than the XII areas, which all seemed like big boxes w/ texture pain on the walls.
XV had some nice landscapes too obviously, but did take too damn long to get around, and that led to some monotony. I really loved the caves/dungeons in XV though...
If VIIR had world areas that were more like Pulse I wouldn't mind so much. I like the classic worldmap, but it's an increasingly weird abstraction w/ today's graphics and today's expectations for game structure. What I don't want is a Lost Odyssey or FFX style map screen for airship travel :-(
lol. I was just commenting on the still frames. Trust me, I'm very aware of what animation's purpose is.
Agreed. I think FFXV had to make some pretty clear compromises in terms of world design to make the open world thing function; and even then it felt like you were driving around somewhere much smaller than e.g. GTAV's more-detailed open world, let alone an entire continent or globe.
I think the goal of a fully streaming high-level-of-detail open world in FF is still a laudable one, but I think it's better to prioritize the 'high level of detail' thing over the fully streaming thing and make their areas bigger and bigger from game to game, rather than starting with 'huge and also clearly mostly procedurally generated' and trying to get better at filling in the details.
Also, I am dead certain that a game that has Midgar in it is not the right time to launch a fully streaming realistically-sized Entire Fucking Planet that you can pilot your airship across.
Those FFVII Nomura character sketches, does anyone have a link to all of them. I always loved that artstyle. Did he do sketches like those for FFXIII as well? I've only seen the Lightning one
Edit: I mean the portraits like these. I can find scattered ones but I've come across ones in this very thread that I haven't seen

that would still be quite some effort. wouldn't surprise me if the vehicles end up being some kind of glorified destination-selectors (although I do hope we get some version of a traversable 'overworld')
I don't know why you seem to think I am challenging your authority or experience. I am not. Or at least I didn't mean to. I do apologize if it came off that way.
ff6 has awesome nomura artThose FFVII Nomura character sketches, does anyone have a link to all of them. I always loved that artstyle. Did he do sketches like those for FFXIII as well? I've only seen the Lightning one

I want to play back through 7 before this is out. What's the best way to do that... PS4 or Vita? Trophies, updates etc between versions or are they all the same?
It is, especially now that I've dealt with suicide in my adult life.
The tonal whiplash of racing chocobos 2 minutes after he jumps off a cliff is even worse than snowboarding after Aerith, though.
I definitely expect that Midgar's going to function with a sort of destination-selector thingy - it makes too much sense to make the train your primary way of getting around the city.
But yeah, assuming here that it'll be a trilogy, count me in as super curious to see how they handle it in part 2 - which will likely be something of a linear odyssey - and again to see how they handle it in the final game - which will likely be more of a spanning-the-globe less-linear mix of sidequests and main story content.
vita does not have trophies you will play the original ps1 version. Ps4 has trophies and cheats.
So its a question about if you like to play on vita,and how much you care for the cheats and trophies.
PS4 is the 1998 PC port with cheats built in and trophy support. Vita is the PS1 original with absolutely no other frills. It's just emulated.
its not the 1998 pc port its the steam port, there's some differences like the music etc
True. And no open mouth syndrome.
I've always regretted that the original PC version was my first experience playing FF7, but I bought a PS1 copy to play on my PS2 later to correct that.
sorry, i didn't think you were, didn't mean for it to seem like a snap-back. i was just laughing at the situation cause I had literally just gotten out of meeting going over direction for an upcoming animation project. i found it ironic is all. all is good.
That's cool and all but I'm looking for them character art pieces. The ones that highlight how he draws humansff6 has awesome nomura art
search for "name of the game" + nomura art on google images
ff7
parasite eve
ff8
has some good human art pieces
That's what I do but they're all scattered and I always randomly come across ones I haven't seen. Cant seem to find a database that compiles all of them, at least for one particular game.
yeah it sucks, its hard to find in one place even amano arts
some human arts from ff6 from nomura
some human arts from ff6 from nomura
Nomura had a great variety of artstyles in such a short period, and all of them good: the very classic style of his VI days (with delicate-looking characters reminiscent of Amano's), the super anime VII style, the more realistically proportioned style of VIII and Parasite Eve...
I love 90's Nomura.
