I hope so, because it's a "stand-alone" game I'd expect there to be "end-game" activities.
Ultimate weapon fight replaced fully with the ramming him in mid air with the Highwind method.
Damn that was fun.
Terrifying face.I remember when they showed GF Re-link trailer, I went "Hey that's the fight with Ultimate Weapon"
Especially Emerald Weapon... I don't see them having the party casually stand on the ocean floor like in the original...
Maybe. I hope they don't ever repeat the dumb design decisions they did with FFXV's Adamantoise.
FF has definitely managed to have enormous boss fights before (FFX's Sin comes to mind), but agreed that it's trickier to handle them when there's any sort of real-time combat going on. That said, the WEAPONs aren't *that* enormous in the existing battle screens, to be completely honest.
My guess as to how they might handle a problem like this is to have a bigger and bigger emphasis on your ATB-bar-consuming turns (and present some sort of easy smaller targets for building it up rapidly).
That's what I'm goddamn talking about.
Is there Nomura weapon art
A motherfucking chrome mecha.
This image specifically is a character portrait from Before Crisis, so... You can search those.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
The 3 party members make the weapon fights even more interesting, just thinking of the characters being spread out focusing on different parts of the weapons in a GoW esque boss fight has me sweating. Really hope Square nails it, love everything we've seen thus far but giant bosses are always hard to do.
answering myself there's very big monster on the monster hunter series
how the game handle those fights?

They... look pretty much the same tbh including popping tits.
I prefer the more anime style of the right when it comes to face though but I still like the more realistic face on the left too.
FFVII is kinda cartoony and I kinda wish it didn't go all in on the realism.
Well, I did say the face.
The way that shirt hugs her tits is pure fanservice. It's like that shirt comes with boob socks.
^ this.
Also I just don't get the "realism" arguments in video games re: the ocean floor fight.
Between FFXIV and other games we've already seen them fight weapon sized/big bosses plenty of times before. I don't know why that seems so hard for people to understand.
I mean look at Bayonetta or even KH's last boss on the PS2.
this is a good question.answering myself there's very big monster on the monster hunter series

When I think big huge monsters to fight i can't help but think about shadow of the colossus. more related though In kingdom hearts you fight the rock and ice titan but it's basically slash at feet until stunned then wail on the heads or do a mechanic to get to a stun and then wail on a head. for better engagement you can break it into stages with different mechanics. the God of war games might be a better place to seek inspiration though. and instead of quicktime events it can just be auto triggered cinematics to progress the fight to the next stage.
I never want to see Blue the Blue and Black the Black again. I'd rather have Genesis. Although there also aren't many female villains who fight, so maybe they can squeeze Red the Red in.

For the boss battles, I can think how for atleast one of them.
Like someone said here, you are on the highwind, and one of them grabs onto it and you fight it there. Like this god of war battle.
mild spoilers?

Adorable.
That price is bullshit though.
I feel its sort of a difference in what the games are going for; For Dissidia it probably makes more sense to go all in on Cheesecake/Beefcake. Whereas with Remake they wanna be more reserved.
So far they've kept every enemy from the original from parts we've seen and have said they'll even add new enemies. Even if they do end up removing some enemies, I think that snakehand-crab is very likely to make it in. That can be made to look terrifying in the remake. I'm more worried about the house-enemy in Midgar. That could maybe be seen not making sense for this kind of artstyle.
Keep this in the remake or game is ruined
Hell House is one of the more well-known of the game's weirder enemies because of how early it shows up - it was even shown along the WEAPONs as VII monsters with more modern concept art-like visualisations for Mobius.
It's worth noting that all of Mobius' VII events have specifically been remake-themed.
Something like its Mobius incarnation could absolutely work in the remake's style - it depends if they think it's iconic enough for the detail required for a full enemy, instead of just having a broken down reference to it dumped in the slums.
Final Fantasy VII merch is always overpriced.
...I might still bite though.
Heh, I kind of feel like you proved my point. That art looks like it's from Toy Story. :DHell House is one of the more well-known of the game's weirder enemies because of how early it shows up - it was even shown along the WEAPONs as VII monsters with more modern concept art-like visualisations for Mobius.

I do agree that it's fairly iconic but they have to do some work to make it work in the remake, I feel.
I think they could contextualize it (explicitly or not) as some weird toy Shinra made that went defective or whatever tbh (that would explain why there are so many of them that look identical, which was my biggest "problem").
I'm really curious about the new enemies. Considering that we're for sure getting the original ones (and are really faithful), I want to see quite a few of them to spice things up.
I was rewatching some of the BG&E2 footage and even back then... Seeing all of that running and actually working on a regular PS4, made me hopeful about FF7 maybe only needing 2 parts. Midgar on PS4, everything else on PS5.
I'm hoping with the technical advancements of the next-generation, it'll be much easier for them to accomplish their vision. Just imagining the Highwind in actual scale, flying at those speeds and instantaneously switching back and forth between the bridge and the overview, holy shit... I really want to see that. That, to me, would be like experiencing 3D-graphics for the first time all over again.
Only had that feeling once...
Also, imagine, whilst on the bridge of the Highwind, you see the actual landscape beneath you...
With SSD's becoming a standard for the next-generation, surely it ought to be possible? Expensive? Yup... But that's what a remake for this game needs to be.
The original game had a staff of over 100 people, with a combined development and marketing budget of around $ 80 million! That's about $ 127 million in 2019, when adjusted for inflation... Which is still a lot of money.
Nope the total budget of the original game was 145 million, not 80. INb4 official source.
"We don't talk about that side of town...'
The hell houses will chase Aeris and Cloud, loads of them. They scream 'There's no place like home, there's no place like home' voiced by Earl Boen or someone sinister.

Well, that's even more insane. Wikipedia used IGN as a reference...
IGN said:
Nevertheless... Insane numbers för 97'. I hope they match or exceed that ambition for the remake.
