I hope the Jeno-Seph is the only version we'll see smiling so much,
I never felt that evil-grin vibe from Sephiroth in the original game.

Final Fantasy VII Remake - TGS 2019 trailer
- Thread starter Xenosaga
- Start date
They know exactly what they're doing by making Jessie and Aerith extra sweet
Hand-to-Hand fighters is one of my fetishes when it comes to fighting styles in video games. I don't think I'm going to be playing as anyone else once Tifa joins my party.those Tifa pull ups made me go back to the E3 trailer and the combat animations are so incredibly bad ass (sorry about the huge gif)
Erica Lindbeck is a great voice actor so it's been nice seeing her pop up in more stuff over the last couple of years.
Really? I swear that's a grin he has when he looks at Cloud after killing Aeris
I wish she would've gotten a bigger role. She is so good! Loved her as Futaba in P5.
That's the thing though. Sephiroth didn't kill Aerith; Jenova in the form of Sephiroth did.
There's gonna be a presentation on Playstation's live stage in about 8 hours.
I honestly wish she was playing Aerith.
(Though Briana sounds pretty good so far)
Sephiroth is controlling Jenova. So both he and Jenova kill Aerith.
i think barret's VA said they recorded lines for the trailer specifically so hopefully, they'll be rewritten and redubbed with better direction. probably not though!
But they aren't independent agents, Jenova is Sephiroth's way of manifesting his hive mind of "clones".
Jenova is as close as possible to being brain dead in the game. Just a catalyst for "reunion theory" ie Sephiroth being able to do shit while he's dead in North Cave
This is streaming, yes?
Gonna assume it's going to be like the Kojima one the other day (Japanese only until someone is kind enough to translate), but I'd still be curious to watch it live.
It's one of the reasons I'm not against expanding the Midgar section to its own game. There is a lot of story and emotion that can be pulled from that arc which was only hinted at and rushed through in the original.
Rather than FF7R being looked at as a padded out version of the original game, FF7R bout to make FF7 look like "FF7 the cliffnotes version"!
mfw i finally get summoned to fight for legendary heroes and they turn out to be angsty teenagers with stupid hair
I hope neither. Go back to old school and make it Arthur! King Arthur and the Knights of the Round... Island!
Same. It does admittedly seem like she'll still factor pretty heavily into this game though, which is good.
What I found the most amazing is that even the characters don't look chibi a ymore, they still behave like the original. It feels so nostalgic. I hope this game is good. Please god, make it a good game!
The Wutai stuff is harmless tho. As in, for now, it's just a nod to a previous in-universe event and nothing implies AVALANCHE being backed by them if Barret's reaction is to be believed. Just the fact that there was a war (and that there might be insurgents still).
I honestly like it, the original was pretty bad with regards to everything Wutai-related for one reason or another (it being optional and such a small place among those; there were ways to make it feel bigger in the prerendered background or whatever for instance).
The hologram I get. I don't have a strong opinion either way, although it makes more sense that the Prez isn't there in the midst of danger. I kinda like how goofy it is. I prefer his fat President design however.
Nah those are both good changes. The president showing up himself to confront terrorists was always dumb. Wutai is probably the only place in the planet to pose a threat to Shinra and it's good that it's getting proper play here. Both for future Yuffie and the story.
I mean it explains why Barret didn't just shoot him with his literal gun arm in the original
I hope they keep "King VERMIN" though
In the original scene why didn't Barret just shoot him? You know, since he has a gun arm that can shoot bullets at a distance? President Shinra being a hologram in that scene fixes a major plothole.
Agreed on both points, especially the Shinra hologram one. Though, that was kind of a boss move to show up in front of them in the original. It's like the OG president didn't even view them as a real threat, while the remake president is more focused on playing the puppeteer.
I mean, that's pretty much what Thordan is supposed to represent.
If the Wutai new plot line is used to show how of a manipulative a megacorporation, that basically acts as the de facto world goverment, can be, it could be a plus. This is something that it can be used to expand the whole Midgar section of the game, to show Shinra as a dystopia neoleberalism wet dream.
I was always curious why the Turks are called "Turks". Are they based on Jomon or Turkic people?
Those are two separate things. The president being a hologram looks kinda silly, but I think it's a wash whether it's better he shows up or not. And honestly, it'd be really cool if the only time we see him in the flesh is him dead.
The Wutai stuff is cool imo. Shinra and Wutai have some history, and one angle they could play with this whole terrorist thing is painting it as something a group Wutai would do. It's gross politics, but it's not unheard of.
He's willingly killing people for what he believes in. The president represents everything he hates and he would absolutely kill him if given the opportunity.
he explodes a bunch of innocents and explains it away as being for "the greater good", this quote is from after meeting the Prez and the plate fall but the "it's never been nobody but the Shinra" is something that never leaves him until towards the end of the game
There weren't even other soldiers to gun him down so he didn't even have to worry about leaving Marlene behind.
Anybody getting 1984 Orwellian vibes from President Shinra? He even looked a bit like Andrew Ryan from Bioshock.
Definitely Big Brother vibes, but it's so obvious that I rolled my eyes at it. It looks kinda silly.
Barret would have killed him given the chance without thinking twice about it in my opinion
Makes more sense than for the president to be helicoptered to an about to explode reactor and a terrorist with a gunarm.
Honestly, I doubt he'd think that far ahead. A big part of Barret's arc is him realizing that his propensity toward violence, even when justified, has consequences that he doesn't even consider.
Form a resistance fighting unit against a fascistic corporation with near infinite resources and start bombing power plants where civilians work? Surely this won't have any negative consequences!
