i can't wait for the renewed shipping wars in 2020 between Cloud/Tifa and Cloud/Aerith partisans
If this game hits the mainstream audience, it could be huge. Shipping is no joke on the 2019 internet!
I'm surprised Jim thought the battles were "busy", especially coming from XV. I felt like it was super easy to follow throughout the gameplay trailer. What I will agree with Jim is the soundtrack that played during Guard Scorpion. The trailer had the familiar battle theme in the background but the gameplay trailer had super generic orchestral music. I'm hoping it was just placeholder music, and that the OST is more in line with the original.
Wow, the first part will take place all in Midgar and will have two discs worth of content.
This is interesting. Real interesting. This remake is a reimagining for sure now that will now be its own series.

Dat nostalgia... ;_;
Also I don't know if it has been mentioned yet, the Japanese site mentions the game will have reversible cover.
Make the logo for the black covered centered and a bit bigger, and I'm sold.

is this the real cover?
I still think they really need to add a subtitle or something to show that this isn't the full FFVII story. I was talking to my friend about this, who was really excited about it, and he had no idea it was a multi-game project.
From their press kit:
I really hope they don't change it. It's perfect.
I wonder if they have the balls to replicate the back as well. ;)

That's the current Japanese cover. Not sure if it's placeholder but considering how it has identical concept as the original and it will be reversible, I am sure at least one cover will be this.
such confidence from Squaresoft back then.
Considering it will have reversible cover, I really hope one of them is this. (Square Enix of course)

Yea i like that one a lot.
I know it's not the final cover art but replacing the cover is the first thing I'm going to do when I get my copy. I really dislike that remake logo.

Meh, like he said, he goes in cynical into these things.
I picked up an old save game of FFVII last night after getting hyped by these vids, and that game still holds up incredibly well, largely due to the fantastic soundtrack, memorable art direction, complex storyline, and punchy characters. Plus, I neeeeever get bored of the battle theme.
DA. DA. DA. DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA-DA, DA. DA. DA.
DA DA DA DAAAAAAAAAA!
Wouldn't be surprised if this game has 4k Fmv. Also wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of "in-game" cut-scenes are prerecorded too. Just like ff13 and kh3.
And wait, it's confirmed that the first two Blu-ray discs will just take place in Midgar? @_@
Personally, as someone who LOVED Final Fantasy XV's combat to the moon and back, I have really liked what I've seen of the Remake's combat and I just can't wait to play it.
I DO have a couple of issues with what's been shown, and I've seen another user comment on the same: Barret's auto-lock attacks is one of them. After playing around with Prompto in XV and feeling the freedom of aiming my guns to whatever point I wanted, switching weapons on the fly and using grenades, Barret's style seems... restrictive, in a way, and over-simplified.
Again, this is just an opinion formed by watching the videos. Perhaps Barret will be very fun to play as (Even though I see myself as a future Tifa-user).
I do agree with Jim that there's just too much going on in the screen. I think they could tone down the excessive sparks produced by Cloud's strikes. They look cool, but it's just too many effects and they can become distracting.
Most of the rest looks really great and fun. I'm dying to try this new combat system.
The boss gameplay had some remix/mashup of the bombing mission & boss battle theme.
What?
It was a rather lavish arrangement of Those Who Fight Further and Bombing Mission that dynamically changed as the battle progressed. How can you think it's placeholder music?
i kinda hope the cover is both the traditional japanese updated and the american one updated
almost

KH III has so few pre-recorded cutscenes. They went for a seamless cutscene -> gameplay transition and they probably will be doing the same for VII Remake.
To each his own but that arrangement of Those who fight further was absolutely amazing in my opinion. Not generic in any way.
Of 9 hours of total cutscenes? Yes.
And this pre-recorded time is even including the opening, ending, post credits and secret ending.
I just realised if the game is being split into parts how will the Golden Saucer date work?
Will it just default to Aerith if you don't have save data for the first part?

The track is really bombastic orchestral so I could see how someone could miss immediately realizing that It's a remix of certain tracks.
Okay you all have a point, I take it back - I was too harsh calling it placeholder music. I could hear the overall theme of the track but the orchestral take on "Those Who Fight Further" felt overly epic, almost grandiose in nature, compared to the original. Just hearing the blaring horns and strings felt weird for me because the original track felt much more subdued and focused and in this trailer it sounded like it was meant to be much more intense than what we're used to with the Guard Scorpion - that is, an introduction to bosses in FFVII. It just felt weird listening to this super intense movie-style version while watching a boss I've wiped out 20+ times in the past.
Idk...the two just weren't gelling with me.
I loved the version of Those Who Fight Further in the demo. It feels appropriately cinematic and exciting.
I do hope there's another mix of it with guitars in the game, though. I always interpreted its opening notes as being metal guitar.

I think one thing I was struck by at the event is how big of a deal this is to Square. This probably is going to be THE FF game for Square besides XIV until the late 2020s. I was happily surprised with how much attention they're giving gameplay. I feel like Paradigms in FFXIII were the last time combat in FF was really anbitious.
Dumb Prediction, FFVII Part I will get an official subtitle at TGS. Probably with a cinematic trailer that also shows off traversal around Midgar.
I wonder if they'll allude to the fact that there was an AVALANCHE before Barret's.

I just wish they release that "Those who fight further" version on Spotify, It's all I have to say about it.
Nah dude, they've had a big AAA title in production under Yoshi P for a whild now.
A lot of people more knowledgeable than me speculated this to be XVI.
My personal estimation for SE heavy hitters would be:
2020 - VII, Avengers
2021 - XVI, Ni3R
2022 - VII 2 (of 3), Luminous New IP
2023 - Team Osaka (either KH4 or a new IP), Avengers 2?
I reeeally don't think FFXVI will be out in 2021. I'd be surprised if FFXVI was *announced* by 2021. They've said they're treating the FFVII remake like its own numbered entry and I see no reason to not believe them.
What if they gonna integrate parts of crisis core in the next parts?
The good parts i mean... angeal and (playable zack).
Exciting decade ahead of us brehs.

Nice ironic bait post but I don't think they'll be including anything beyond a reference here or there. Maybe some story expansions for zack x cloud x sephiroth's relationship.
So like, uhh, this was absolutely the game of show, right? Like, almost objectively speaking? lol.
A full-gameplay demonstration, followed by the wildest boss-battle I've seen in a long time (rivaling God of War & Spiderman), a super hype trailer full of the great, classic characters... I just can't believe how good this looks.
