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

Can't wait to hear the remake's rendition of the submarine. Just the thought of leaving the crashed ship and coming face to face w/ Emerald upon exit gets me super anxious.
There's also reason to believe that anything but timed demos and hands on impressions are worse for a game than a demo at home.
I'd like to be able to explore every sector of the city by train.
Given that this Midgar centric game looks like it's effectively going to promote Jessie/Biggs/Wedge to almost-main characters (albeit likely not full party members like Cloud/Barret/Tifa/Aerith), I'd love to be able to e.g. visit their home neighborhoods and get more backstory on them. Lots more backstory on the Turks and on the assorted Shinra Corporation executives would be great.
Minigames, absolutely (I could see the Wall Market/Honey Bee Inn area of Sector 6 kinda turning into the main minigame area).
I hope Red XIII is in the game and that there's somehow a period of being able to explore Midgar with him as a party member before being forced to escape the city.
Also, since this is effectively going to be a standalone entry, some sort of optional superboss(es) absolutely need to happen.
Aren't the sequels also noticably less polished. I feel like FFXIII looks better visually than FFXIII2
They definitely are lol. Though LR is actually my favorite of the whole trilogy, but that's more for the battle system.
I feel modern square is terrible at world building mainly due to poor creative direction and because they clearly don't priotize this aspect during development.
Its not really due to technical shortcomings or time limitations. They just don't really take this aspect seriously.
that sounds great and makes sense. Jesse, Wiggs and Wedge offer a lot of potential when it comes to additional story content.
i can't wait to see how RED XIII plays in this game - Him, Tifa and Vincent are my most anticipated ones when it comes to Gameplay
I just don't want them to end up in some sort of analysis paralysis or whatever funk they were in between '15 and '17. They need to work smarter not harder, not just changes for changes sake. It really should just be scenario and world building taking up most of the time. The battle staff should be moved over to make mini games for Gold Saucer lol.
Well Midgar is part of one big world that they'll keep exploring in the sequels so.... yeah. Am I missing something? What are you concerned about here? Lol
Wasn't there a screenshot album posted somewhere, anyone have it?
Also there was some remake to original environment comparison post

Lightning Returns is very different though. Its a super open game and the structure doesn't fit the kind of story that FF7R is trying to tell.
I'm not really concerned about anything lol. I was just making a comparison how you can make a final fantasy game that takes place in one big location that doesn't feel like padding if that makes any sense.
BTW, silly nitpick incoming:
I think they've kinda done Hardedge dirty :/ It just looks way too big now:
For comparison (I think it was around this size in-game too):
Could this be to accomodate to the Buster Sword's reach? They probably don't want to account for different sizes for the characters (I think KH3 has shorter keyblades, but I can't remember for sure now).

Who cares about those two, gimme Cid now.
Because we're starting to speculate part 2... How do they handle the over world? DQXI like areas, or an actual over world you can walk on like in the original. in another thread i was thinking that they could maybe go for a diorama look for the over world so it would look realistic but as if the towns and characters were miniatures. would allow for the different vehicles and then when you get near towns or explorable locations it would then take you to those individual areas. same for like random encounters.
thoughts?
thoughts?
One year for every shake of Yuffie's fist
Haha, I forgot about that scene. Yuffie just doing random air-punches to intimidate the characters.
For real though, I'm very interested in seeing Yuffie and Vincent too. That'd be two long-range characters beyond Barret, and it seems this game really values positioning and reach.
Vincent's transformations have some nice potential too. Hopefully, they look like in the original and not like in DoC. That'd be atrocious.

I assume all the swords will be the same size now of animation purposes? Idk
Who was he talking to?can't wait for this scene in all it's 4K glory.
The animations would technically be the same, right?
But yeah, as I said, I think it has to do with them wanting to keep Cloud's specific reach the same for every weapon, instead of having them fluctuate.
I want my agile and cool Vincent from AC
Party answer above was right. And he's not married to Shera!
Ah, check. It has been ages, I mostly remembered that he was an ass towards Shera, hehe
Yeah minor point I think most remember her as his wife or something from their interactions. And he's an ass to everyone! His best moment is punching Cloud to stop him from abusing Aerith.
The official Remake Twitter is teasing a Kitase interview for next week, and provides some bit of info
Most importantly is sounds like the PR team has wrangled him away from the vague and concerning comments he gave regarding Part 2, offering us a clearer and more encouraging answer.

So as thought, they do have a rough plan and the work on Part 2 will be more efficient due to the already established workflow.Yoshinori Kitase said:
Cool. I guess it could be a lot less work. They could sort of 'linearize' the Overworld into an FFXII style thing as some have suggested, and then just build the towns and such.
Even FF10 segments would work. It would be less freedom, but it could still result into some interesting hubs and secrets. Highwind will would probably be just a fast travel solution.
Well that sounds much better good to hear. So I guess 2022 is a possibility
