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

Journalist: "When will we start getting information about FFVII Remake Part 2?
Kitase: "I have no idea (laughs)"
Internet: "FFVII Remake cancelled?!"
Well, it seems like no photos for FF7R booth
It brings me life to see this game being playable in the events now. I just hope we get new footage asap. Gamescon probably.
New footage very soon is unlikely imo... I would expect something new around TGS.
Is it crazy to believe this game will look even better as it gets closer to release?
Man, this is going to be an absolute event!
Man, this is going to be an absolute event!
Considering how much positive change there was between just the May State of Play trailer and the June E3 trailer, I don't think it's crazy. There was probably a few months of build time between those two trailers and they still have ~7 months to go.
Here's a couple of comparisons I made. The ugprade from Duscae to the final game is gigantic.
With every passing week & month, it becomes unlikelier & unlikelier that FFVIIR doesn't make an appearance in the remaining big gaming conventions (+ appearances at some random comic cons) or that they'd keep just repeating the initial info & other stuff entirely from E3. I'd wager a guess the remaining big stuff this year will go somewhere along these lines:
-Gamescom: new trailer (maybe villain/Turks-focused), still using the E3 demo for the showfloor
-TGS: new trailer that shows how they are expanding Midgar to make their "as much content as a mainline FF" promise hold true, maybe new gameplay demonstration of a new segment in the veins of the Scorpion boss battle (like, show some possible sidequest if they've added such or show direct feed clip of the motorcycle mini-game)
-PGW: new trailer (focus on the Avalanche members and how their roles have maybe been expanded?)
-TGA and/or PSX: a new trailer & a new lengthy(ish) demo(nstration) perhaps
So I did. Jump Festa could maybe be close enough to release to get the "Final" trailer and after that there will be more of a focus on press previews with direct feed footage from a demo of a near finished version of the game & short tv spots that mostly recycle footage we've already seen.

Option 1: Stairs
Option 2: Bust in and declare war on Shinra
Option 3: Calmly walk to reception and ask for a tour
"I'm afraid you'll have to leave your weapons with us."
"Well Tifa... sucks to be you."
not from the remake buy my friend is a madman and tried to create an orbital view of FF7 .... in 4k
Ah, I was hoping they would go with the spelling "Shin-Ra" as it was in the original game's FMVs.
I suppose they've just decided to stick with what the game's Western fans remember.
Replaying FF7 right now.
Its good, but I'm not 100% sure I'd recommend it to a newcomer.
A lot of the time a scene will end, and I will have literally no idea what it wants me to do next or where to go.
And I'm going from place to place and there is almost no story connecting any of it.
Like, I'll finish the mission in a town, then it'll kick you back outside the town, and you're just looking around like "Uhhh.......where to now?" and the game is just "/shrug. Just walk."

The character's name is spelled Shinra in FFX-2
So can we call it a bad game because we can't recommend to a newcomer? That is what someone rationale for saying playing the first Metroid were a waste of time.
Until you get the tiny bronco or highwind, the world map is pretty much just a really elaborate hallway. Most of the time there is only one path forward.
Sounds like exactly the sort of thing that an expanded remake would want to expand.
Oh for the remake I'm sure there will be plenty of "run over there and kill x things" and "run back thataway and take a picture of y" etc. etc.
I mean... Geoff was kinda hyping it up so I think there is a chance
the whole main quest is quite linear to be honest, just make sure to follow the plot so you know where to go.
it's a safe bet the remake will be at gamescom, whether there is new info though is a different story
Maybe it's for the Avengers game. Anyway, if VII Remake desn't get new info on Gamescon at least we have TGS a month later.
I think the Avengers will have presence there yeah. But they already confirmed the gameplay footage will go live to public after Gamescom ends, so if they have something for Avengers there it would be new trailer.
Yeah, it is basically guaranteed that TGS will have VIIR.
THIS is more my style for how Midgar should look. Lots of industrial architecture (pipes, scaffolding, girders and frame pillars) with "older" looking buildings. Awesome!The new concept art is gorgeous:
