Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade preview footage
- Thread starter Xenosaga
- Start date
This looks a nice upgrade from the original. FFVII R Part 2 is probably going to look insane. Hopefully they are going UE5
Looking at 4k slums seem upgraded from original. Textures improved but lighting is the biggest difference.

If that's accurate, it's not bad! I'll definitely be playing that.
I feel like a dumb dumb, but maybe I never GOT how Tifa played, because she always felt underpowered and not that fun to play for me. Same with Aerith. I really only ever had success with Cloud and Barrett, and in hindsight, that makes me feel like an idiot.
Sorry I was half watching and half listening to the IGN preview on the side while working and the guy mentioned there's "there's no ATB going down" š
You got a lot of replies to this but I feel like you didn't get a full one.
Yuffie is a comic relief character whose is portrayed as highly confident, decently competent, but also clumsy and childish. She is portrayed as immature and unworldly but dedicated to her personal goals of returning resources stolen from her homeland. All of her strange behavior is just attributed to her being "quirky."
I wish she would button her shorts.
we still cant preorder the dlc yet? i have the deluxe PS4 ordered at launch
Yep, looks dope. I hope they continue to create unique combat around every single party members!

The only thing we know is that it's 2 chapters long. No info on actual playtime.
Aerith is one of the most fun support characters ever. she was great to use for shields, especially against Jenova and some of the bosses in the Shinra tower. The game has so much flexibility and utility between each character. I don't think anybody is underpowered because everybody has so many different things they can contribute.
Tifa is actualy the most overpowered character and great fun to play once you assign her special attacks to controller shortcuts you can almost play her like a fighting character. ;)
Tifa is all about speed, she has really high dps since you can build your ATB bars very fast. She's also the best fit for parry materia (works like a fast dodge) and deadly dodge materia (since you can cancel her animations with a dodge and follow immediately with a attack). It's all about linking abilities quickly, for example her divekick ability (I think you have it at the start) can follow directly after a uppercut (triangle button).
Some cool combos: https://mobile.twitter.com/SunhiLegend/status/1258089135648190469 / https://mobile.twitter.com/SunhiLegend/status/1255978614891393024
She was my favorite character to play as until end game when you get the last weapon ability with Cloud that lets you counter-attack almost everything.
Two chapters with at least three boss battles, sidequests, a minigame, and even a new type of collectible to seek out (Condor Coins), so it seems quite meaty.
They've done a stellar job so far with the way each character handles in combat but I think they have their work cut out with Red. I can't remember his stats in the original game. Would it make sense to make him more magic focused, like a more mobile Aerith?

Wouldn't your save have just transferred over when you did the PS4->PS5 storage transfer?
So far a lot of the Ps4 to PS5 upgrades require you to upload the file from the PS4 version of the game first, then download it on the PS5 version of the game. It is stupid

I get it, but what I'm saying is wouldn't you have already done that when you first purchased your PS5? I transfered over all my data/files through that data transfer thing.
Yuuss. This is legitimately my favorite action rpg battle system ever. It's SO good and has so much depth.
Nope it is a different process from that. So if you want to run through the steps.
1) Transfer save from PS4 to PS5 using data transfer or PS+
2] Install PS4 Version of FF7R (they will patch the feature so make sure it's updated)
3) Install PS5 Version of FF7R
4) Start PS4 version of FF7R
5) Convert PS4 save to PS5 save in the game itself
6) Start PS5 version of FF7R
7) Play game with newly converted file
The main thing is that your PS4 save file does not get converted automatically . You need to run both versions of the game to do the conversion.
unfortunately the PS5 is very different than xbox. The latter uses smart delivery so its one product no matter if its a native Series X or BC One game.
PS5 games are a new title, so Final Fantasy 7R-PS5 edition is a completely seperate game from the PS4 edition, with all new trophies (that are all exactly the same). And a completely different save file. Games on PS5 (PS4) cannot read another titles save file, some security feature or something I guess. So nope, a game can't read its PS4 edition of a save game, only the PS5 edition. You still HAVE the PS4 version of the save file on your PS5 after you do the initial transfer, and its on the PS+ cloud as well, but both are completely inaccessible to the PS5 version of the game.
The "solution" has been the PS4 version of games requiring a patch that adds a "Upload save to cloud" feature, which puts some version of your PS4 save data into a cloud storage, somewhere (Sony? Amazon? who knows). Then the PS5 version can "import" that data and create a new save file with all the save data intact.
Its happened with Hitman 3 and a few other games, its annoying as hell. Most games don't even support it, like if you started the PS5 version of Yakuza 7 there is no way to import your PS4 save. Man Eater, Control Ultimate Edition, Yakuza LAD, etc had no options but to restart from scratch. I think TLOU2 lets you transfer.
Its complete trash, like just about every PS5 game I have on my PS5 has a PS4 version of the game that I can accidently install and play too with a seperate save. For the first few months PS5s would do all kinds of funky things without showing you what version you are running, defaulting to the PS4 version, etc which was messy as hell. Its better now and they try to default you to the PS5 version of stuff and warn you if you are running the PS4 version.
So regarding step 1 -- my save data is already on my PS5. I'd still need to do this via the cloud? That's where my confusion lay, which is why I was asking if we couldn't have just done this with data transfer when we initially got the PS5. I transferred over all of my data/saves/files initially and am just tryna confirm if I don't have to do this again lol
you will have to run Final Fantasy VII-R PS4 edition once they put out a new patch (in the next 2 weeks)
there will be a new option in the main menu, "upload save to cloud". This cloud has nothing to do with the FF7-R save that is already in your PS+ cloud
you will have to do that
then close the game
then run the PS5 version of the game and "import save from cloud". It can only download from the cloud upload you do in step 2, it cannot download from your PS+ cloud (why? dunno)
You cannot skip any of the above steps, which means you'll need to have both the PS4 and PS5 versions of the game installed. You can then delete the PS4 version of the game after you are done. Thats only if you want to transfer the save, if you want to start from scratch you can just do that.
Oy vey. And you need PS+ to utilize that patched in feature?
Nope. So long as you have your old save on your PS5 you are fine. Just make sure your PS4 version is installed so that you can do the conversion.
Now I'm wondering if I should replay the whole game too or stick to hard mode. š
