Oh good god yes.
"Sephiroth, what? Is he a good guy? What is going on?"
That was pretty amazing for 12 year old Flutter.

Eh, he was moody and depressed in Advent Children cuz he had space cancer.
He spends the first half of FF7 being more serious and kind of an asshole.
I agree, I don't expect a disproportional "world map" like FFI-IX.
I'd hope for a kind of overworld in the way that FFXI, XII or XIV does it... really just large levels representing the open space on continents. Nothing too big at all, because the original game wasn't. But I could see that being something they save for episode II if they really do make the first episode Midgar.
I don't think we need or want an XV style "open world".
I think they're refering to Scarlet, Palmer, Heideger, Hojo, and Rufus, not the no-names in Shinra HQ.
I do want an open world, and I hope they do an improvement and use today's open world elements. Add things like bounties, tons of new side quests and hidden monsters, gear and weapons. Make it modern while keeping the core ff7 intact
Just horrible!
This is NOT Final Fantasy 7.
This is some sort of soulless, "broified" bastardization of the original masterpiece.

He actually sarcastic with a bit of a youthful flavor. A lot of snarky and sass for sure. I hope that is in the remake for sure.

That is NOT representative of the first half of Final Fantasy 7, that is an indication of the first half hour of Final Fantasy 7. He mellows out pretty damn quickly. Cloud has that mercenary attitude for a very short period of time in that game. Definitely not the first half. Probably less than the first tenth.
However, he DOES keep he snark for the whole game. Which is good. It makes him fun.

Lmao.
Go play the original
I'm super jealous of all the people who have never experienced the original and get to play the upgraded graphics version for the first time with ffxv combat. Love the ffxv combat myself.
I'm looking forward to seeing more at E3. Expecting something more thorough, be it from a trailer or from interviews, about how the game will play.
To be honest, I'm especially hyped for this game to come out so I don't have to read the shit patter posts like "never coming out", "can't wait to play this in 2035" etc etc. It's boring.

I have no doubt PC will get this eventually but I think the only way the Switch sees this game is if it gets a mobile version like FFXV.
I just think that a true open world in the sense of XV would be a complete distraction... not only for development time, but for the focus of the gameplay itself. The original game is already a massive undertaking to translate into a modern game, and most of it occurs in towns/dungeons. Turning the original's tiny map (in gameplay terms) into a huge sprawling endless environment will really cause the game's focus to go into the weeds.
Let's think of the area around Midgar. I could appreciate turning the area with Midgar, Kalm, the Chocobo Farm, and Mithril Mine into a nice big environment on the scale of FFXI, FFXII or FFXIV's regions. Even Lightning Returns' wildlands might be a good comparison here. So if that means "open world" to you, then I'd agree with it.
But something like XV or GTA's open world would ask that you actually make a continent to scale, with huge distances to cross, and that seems like a distraction to me. Remember that FFXV takes place on a single continent because of this kind of scale. That kind of open world just seems like a diversion from the core scenario to me, when all the meat of the game happens in Midgar, Junon, Gold Saucer, Mt. Nibel, etc, and not on the old world map.
Maybe they could do it, but it would only be by the grace of being cut into multiple episodes. That kind of open map would definitely not be in Episode I.
Just horrible!

How can you come to that conclusion based on the extremly small amount of info and videos we have?
Didn't think about it like that. If it's hitting 70 hours then that would be amazing, but how would they pad it out that much?
Are they adding lots of content based on the extended canon? I'm hoping it all pays off and isn't chock full of unneeded padding.
I think the game needs to more or less follow the original, make it like resident evil 2. Don't change too much.
Seems like something that should highlighted so that people don't freakout about the combat!
He does mellow out a bit, but he remains quite a bit more serious than his true personality and that doesn't come in until after North Cave.
The remake will not have any open world-map. It will be stream-lined in order for development to take a reasonable amount of time.
I think people should stop thinking Square Enix will take the original game and adopt its structure to the new game.
I mean, in a sense it is now since this is a new game (based on an old game) that will have many that is new to the story of the game.
Same with a remake of an older movie.
Yes, I'd rather re-play the original that this soulless piece of cr..
Just horrible!

ATTACK WHILE IT'S TAIL'S UP!
They don't need to 'add content', so much as taking an old game scenario and turning it into a modern game will inherently pad the game out.
Midgar in the original amounts to a handful of small rooms, some random battles, and some text boxes representing cutscenes. If you made Midgar with today's fidelity: large explorable environments, lengthy voiced cutscenes, etc... that could easily be a full game by itself if they wanted it to be, even without adding much that was not in the original scenario.
I think the difference with RE2 is that the original was realistically proportioned and so too it was easy to make a modern game of those same proportions. I don't think an RPG remake of this scale will be like that. They aren't going to just make HD versions of the same 12 jpegs that represented Midgar in the original. The proportions and scale will change so much between original and remake.
This is IMO, of course. They could do a 1:1 version of the original game in HD, but I think that would fall short of their ambitions to make it a relevant AAA game again. And I believe the whole episodic thing is to account for the inherently inflated proportions that a modern AAA game entails (and to make it a "series" unto itself). If it's really the same game, just prettier and cut into 3 parts of 15 hours each, I'll eat my hat.

It's okay to not like the changes but this is everything but soulless.
I am more worried they will stuff up Aerith's character, by taking away her street smart edge & make her more innocent.
Vincent hopefully shouldn't be too dark either, he was just distant & quiet, not really too emo, when we open his coffin in the remake, linkin park music better not be playing.
While I'm hopeful, I am still a bit scared that other people at SQEX will screw things up. Like, "this is Final Fantasy so we must not go too far into deep action RPG combat territory to make it more approachable for the old school fans" or some such line of thinking bringing it down.
Quite easy actually: The shown footage looks like ass - aesthetically as well as mechanically - compared to the original game.
It is still too early, but the gameplay looks like is going to be a variation of FFXV's. I hope magic attacks are more than just "magic grenades" this time.
The rumored episodic nature of it is still the most concerning thing to me.

Who are you to tell me what to say?
How about you stop insulting other members?
Why do people keep comparing this with FFXV? It's a different game made by a different team. Do people think every FF game is made by the same people?
While aesthetically I might agree somewhat (still haven't seen enough), mechanically we have not seen nearly enough, and the battle system compared to the original, just based on how FFXV and FFVII plays, this should be way ahead.
Design is perfect here.
I don't have much else to say, I'll wait until June wisely. It's weird to say but for this game, I'm moving away from boards and hype. It was so good to play FF7 in 1997 without internet, without meme, without youtube and spoilers in thumbnails, etc..
