Woah, that was a lot to process! I look forward to people breaking the trailer down+gameplay details, because I'm sure there was tons of details I missed. What we've seen of the game thus far continues to impress.
The new Soldier character is an interesting addition with potential - despite my fears of the remake treading into Compilation territory, it isn't a bad idea to have an additional formidable foe for Avalanche to deal with, as I'm presuming/hoping we won't fight Sephiroth in the first game of the remake. It was nice to see some old familiar friends in Ifrit and Shiva, too, both are looking great. I wasn't expecting to see Don Corneo. President Shinra's design looks great. (Had to laugh at Reno's very open shirt.) Aerith looked absolutely stunning in her dress! Loved the Cloud+squats mini-game, and fuck yeah, pull-ups with Tifa!
Speaking of Tifa, her new English VA is still so goddamn good. I'm really enjoying Cloud's new VA, too. The new English VA for Rude sounds great, less sure on Reno. Even Reno in Japanese sounds much more high-pitched than usual, which was really jarring - I can't tell if it's Keiji Fujiwara or not.
The last shot of the trailer was a gut punch! Gorgeous and heartbreaking all at once.
At any rate, looking forward to some trailer breakdowns!
