Final Fantasy VII Remake State of Play 2019 Trailer; More to come in June
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
My favourite shot in the trailer is when you control Barret and you see the train moving. Midgar feels so much more alive just because of this.
This is the kind of stuff real-time/action games capture so well to increase the immersion. You're moving your character around as you normally would through battle and exploration and things are just happening in the world around you.

Nah. They just showing iconic stuff from the game for THIS trailer.
The E3 one will show much more
XIII combat would be even worse. I actually wouldn't even play the game if it had XIII combat.
Play Kingdom Hearts III then :-D
It's why I'm expecting a mature well-paced story to be turned into teen-fiction style directing. Sephiroth shouldn't really show that early into the game. Focus on the many characters present. The game's core appeal isn't all about the Cloud vs Sephiroth antagony.
I'm sure it's just a glimpse (Cloud Squinting) but... I hope this game remains as much about the FFVII party as it is Cloud, and that the shallow portrayal I perceive/expect is a miscalculation I made... Prove me wrong Tetsuya, show me mature Storytelling I can expect from Hironobu.
I wouldn't be worried till E3. They clearly label this a teaser, hopefully they blow the doors open at their press conference.
I'm glad they seem to be doubling down on Cloud having mental issues. Will be good to just see Sephiroths turn up randomly to torment him.
Bolt and ice I bet! Hope we see magic at E3!I'm pretty sure we see two Green Materia in the Buster Sword at 0:48.
No? They may be trying to keep spoilers to a minimum both for people who never played the original and for any changes they made to the story.
Was it a red flag that Marvel refused to show anything beyond the first 15 minutes of Endgame?
Hmmm....... doomtrain in KH3? 🤔 I'll have to check this out 😀
Its the same leads as before but just a better team surrounding it. I can understand enjoying the last trailer more (im assuming youre talking about the psx one ? cause I always thought that one was sloppy compared to the reveal trailer which is ace)
Just funny youre talked about this game like we had any idea at all what direction they where heading in
That's what they did the first time, and it turned out it was mostly concept work IIRC.
This time, though, its been four years, it does seem like the game is well under development. I think this tweet which points out that Square is expecting similar profits to FFXV's launch for this fiscal year is interesting.
Agreed. I liked that the 2015 look makes him seem a little off, like something's not quite right with him. Seemed extremely fitting for the character.
Other than that, I dunno, guess it's what I expected. Biggest complaint would be that the environments seem really drab. For how distinct and memorable the environments in FFVII are not much of this screamed Midgar or mako reactor to me, it just looked like any other industrial sci-fi environment in a video game. Maintaining the atmosphere of the game should be of utmost importance and none of these audiovisuals did anything for me at all.
well cloud was handsome since og and nomura created his design, so its closer to original?
But your eyes are the thing you should most often believe.
Yes please. The VIII disrespect from Square needs to stop!
Yeah, both the environments and Cloud's character model for the PSX 2015 trailer gave me a lot of confidence in the game and their take on the remake. That's why I'm not as impressed with this trailer since it just looks really good, but that's kind of to be expected. I'm sure footage of walking around in Midgar will give a better idea on how they captured the atmosphere of it all, though. It's hard to take a lot from just one minute.
How long did they say this was going to be? 10-15 hours?
Not explicitly - but that it'll have a full game's volume of content and that the analogy one could look at is at the FFXIII trilogy.
For sure. I'm really looking forward to seeing some unedited footage where we can see the look and feel of everything in proper context.
Cloud has like eight different facial expressions in that one minute trailer and that's more than we've seen from him in 10 years I'm so happy.
It really does. I'm tired of them acting like it doesn't exist.
I'm really impressed. Looking back on the 2015 PSX trailer, it's plain to me that moving it in-house was an excellent decision as it's improved in every way.
I was expecting the barest of teases -- like, a Lifestream ribbon alongside the words "See you in June", but they gave us a lot to chew on.

Nice catch. This is great, very cool touch.My favourite shot in the trailer is when you control Barret and you see the train moving. Midgar feels so much more alive just because of this.

The fact that English lip syncing is done is a good sign and they must be fairly far through development.
I think they will announce a 2019 release date and it will get pushed back to early 2020

So smallI'm pretty sure we see two Green Materia in the Buster Sword at 0:48.
Weren't materia the size of a fist in advent children?
Still not a fan of the action combat, but the rest looks decent. I guess the main questions are still how much of the full game this actually covers, and if it'll get a cross-gen version. The later might make me wait until a next gen release, but the former might even make me skip it until all parts are out.
This.
There was way more detail and shadowing in the 2015 character models. Team Mobius copied and pasted too much of their art direction here.
Edit: This is probably the one time I want Nomura to obsess about the character models lol

Based on the fact that we see them in Cloud's Buster Sword, they're probably making them a bit smaller so that they can contextualize them in everyone's weapons. They wouldn't fit in, say, Tifa's gloves/knuckles otherwise.So small
