Yep and one more trailer before launch. I expect the last trailer to have the music from the original.
True, but thematically there's enough of a difference between Shinra Building and Wutai Tower to mask the fact that it's using the same gameplay structure.
I mean you could argue the same thing about the end of the game where there's like a boss rush before you finally get to Sephiroth himself...
tbh i'm really hoping that by the time they get around to the actual end of FF7 they're able to make substantial improvements to the final dungeon. it's absolutely one of the worst/least interesting FF final dungeons (both visually and in terms of gameplay), even though the actual sequence of climactic bosses is good
Do people really think they are going to be 100% true to the original games story and script? Haven't we already seen evidence of changes? We could spoiler tag major events but I don't think anything is sacred here. On Aerith, she can do her lifestream stuff while alive too. A true spoiler would be that in the remake she can be saved or brought back. Maybe Tifa dies, or Barrett, or something else. Actually that would be THE spoiler, the ultimate spoiler of all spoilers. We probably won't know until 2022+.
IF they actually are thinking of doing this, then actually the more people that know the original games spoiler, the better. That way when they go on a date with Tifa and she is the one who dies now, they can flip out with the rest of us.

I think the final trailer will be in the first state of play next year
They said numerous time that the story will be the same with additions and expan6. They aren't going to do something like that. Time to accept it
They are not keeping Aerith alive or killing Tifa. Yes, they going to change and add stuff story-wise, but not that, for the simple reason that you can't change something so important to the story. So yes, some things are sacred.
Look at my avatar. Let it go.
I directly challenge this assumption. It's not sacred or important. It's not difficult to change, and there are strong reasons to change it. FF7 was built on player choices and consequences. It's in the games DNA. They could so easily put in a branching story point at this moment, where basically whoever you date gets Sephiroth'd. So the purists can still have the story they love/need and at the same time make the game fresh and surprising. The loss of a party member thatb the player liked is still felt. There are some story points that require Tifa/Barrett later but again these can be altered easily. The lifestream stuff at the end can just happen while Aerith is alive. All these 'problems' are super easy to overcome.
TLDR
Easy to do it without changing the story hardly at all
Player choice and consequence Part of FF7 DNA
Would add replay-ability
Would surprise old players
Would still have option for original games story for purists
It would give the remake legendary spoiler status just as the original enjoys
Player choice and consequence... really mostly just factored into the Gold Saucer dating thing. I wouldn't call that player choice being in the game's DNA, everyone who plays Final Fantasy VII gets pretty much the same story. Cloud isn't some Mass Effect style self-insert either, Final Fantasy games tell a single narrative and Cloud and the characters around him have defined personalities, goals, and choices that they make as part of that narrative. You can count on VIIR following most of the main story beats of VII proper, and that includes Aerith's death.
Calling that particular plot twist not sacred or important is pretty laughable, too. It's easily one of gaming's most iconic scenes. If there's one thing they're going to treat as sacred, it'll be that.
If you don't want to tell VII's story, probably don't remake the game.
the only change i could see happening of someone surviving is someone from avalanche surviving.
aerith and zack must die
aerith and zack must die
I would kill for a recreation of the final scene of The Usual Suspects, but with Wedge.
He rips off a fat suit and hairpiece, changes the way he walks, and disappears as the realisation hits everyone.
FF7 was a story Wedge told some random cop, inspired by a cloud he saw through a window, and uhh, Aerith brand stationary and whatever else.
10/10, give me the game equivalent of an Oscar.
There's not much to say here other than "this is 100% wrong".
The good thing about people thinking they could let Aerith lives in the remake is that they will be surprised again when she dies.
If they change Aerith's fate, or any other event in the story for that matter, then this game is automatically garbage.
There's no need for them to waste resources on "alternate scenarios" either.
Of all the things that are outdated about the original, the story, scenario, events and characters are absolutely not among them.

In the sense that it's more than one game, yes. But it was always a series of full games, not episodes as that implied.
Well, poop. I was hoping they scrapped that. Hopefully the rest of the game doesn't take forever to release.
(yeah, I didn't mean episodes as like Telltale episodes or whatnot. Bad wording on my part. My bad)
It seems like the preview for next week's famitsu seems to say "latest information on FF7R" so we might get some new info...
Also animate (Big Japanese game/anime store) has teased some sort of collaboration reveal next week... so I guess they might kickstart promotion for the game in Japan next week.

Just story-wise. If you consider side quests... I hope the latter aren´t just generic (go kill X number of Y enemy, yara yara yara...)
it has reversible cover which we don't know how it looks right now.

I'm betting it's just Midgar in flames, with Cloud and/or Sephiroth in the background. Like the theme or start screen in the recent demos.
Holy shit, just cancelled my Amazon pre-order and went with this instead.
Go play a WRPG. Enjoy your extremely unpolished presentation
OP
OP
he will be in the game, but i think the chance of him not being playable is very high, all the promotional content is about aerith, tifa, barret, cloud, i think they would have revealed by now to sell red xiii stuff, and since he's a dog/cat/lion, i think his stuff would be quite popular to sell.
I had the lanyard thing in mind, where Red XIII isn't present.
Red XIII will definitely be in the game. but most likely just on its last act. So even if he's playable like a guest character they won't ne showing a lot of him or maybe nothing about him at all.
People aren't guessing that Red XIII won't be in the game, just that he won't be playable until part 2.
Yes, i believe so, it exists a omnistrike in final fantasy x-2, but its different, it seems more likely they are just making a reference to omnislash of cloud.
i think not, by kitase words it looks like omnistrike is a temporary buff that changes your attacks to more powerfull ones and it can be used twice in a row until unbridled strenght mode buff
we did see Omnipunch in E3 trailer... not sure if how different it is from Omnistrike but I wouldn't be too surprised if they changed the name from Omnipunch to Omnistrike since you see her kicking during Omnipunch lol..
yeah that could be the case. Tifa's abilities translate quite differently from Japanese to English so it's hard to match which one is which atm...
I wonder if this game or The Last of Us 2 will win the most wanted game for 2020 in Reset Era. Probably TLoU 2.
Also first time ever FF VII will be allowed to participate lol.
