Man,
the deaths of Biggs, Wedge and Jessie is gonna hurt a hell of a lot more in this isn't it?
Did you honestly think they wouldn't?
I just hope this whole Remake hullabaloo isn't delaying development on the actual next, new mainline entry in the franchise.
But you already know how the story will go, generally you may not have the books but you have the showIt's like waiting for A Song of Ice and Fire all over again lol
I'm hoping someone who gets to play demo can confirm that you can't abuse potions and PD's in KO states to live forever. FF15 was very easy because of this.

FF fans have been waiting a looong time for a remake dude Square has finally started best to not take resources for other games else one or another is going to sufferDid you honestly think they wouldn't?

This doesn't help alleviate my worries. XVI is your actual, next full numbered entry, guys.
That's the heavily implied rumor, yes. I hope it's true and we hear about it whenever it's ready to be revealed. And if the devs who worked on Heavensward are on it, even better.
I don't want "a while" to be after all of VII Remake is done cause who the fuck knows when that'll be. That's my biggest fear.To be honest, after 13 and 15, I wouldn't mind Square going back to the drawing boards for a while and just prototype a lot of ideas and come up with the best new mainline FF entry in decades :p
There is a difference between "let's see how we do it" and "we do 3 or 5 games". Without scope, you have no basis for anything.It literally does not mean that they don't have a plan laid out. That's not how planning works. It means that the end is so far out that their plan isn't a hard guarantee because of the realities of game developement. And, y'know, that super large ammount of time passing. Saying something now, no matter how hard your plan is, would wind up being a lie and getting people mad somewhere down the line. This is an open and honest admission of the hurdles of their ambition to do this right.
They have scope. But they also have a vague idea of how long it will take the scope to be finished. Again, this is a project that's going to probably take the better part of a DECADE to complete. You literally cannot account for the realities that you might encounter somewhere down the line when you're doing something as ambitious as this. The fact that you can't see a plan doesn't mean there's no plan-- that just means you lack object permanency.There is a difference between "let's see how we do it" and "we do 3 or 5 games". Without scope, you have no basis for anything.
I rather think they want to wait and see how successful the part is, before committing to any number of games.
"2. This isn't a side-project; the team at Square Enix views this game as the next full numbered entry in the Final Fantasy series."
Oh yeah. Stuff like this is why I think expanding Midgar isn't a bad idea. There's a story to be told there that's only really touched on a bit in OG VII.Man,

Since potions cost a atb bar and I would assume a phoenix down costs 2 bars atleast you would be limited a bit
What if these, like, turn out to be good tho
It will when it provides the most high-quality FF experience in years.It'll take another decade and a half and a shitload of money, so is it really worth it?

You've played the game, then?I don't see what's so high-quality about a game made entirely out of filler, but oh well.

What if *gasp* they add new elements to the story that fleshes everything out and are able to stand on their own?
I know that you and I can't really visualize it, but we're also not making games for a living.Am I supposed to be excited for riveting content like being forced to go to Sector 4 to deliver milk for someone and seeing how oh, no, it sucks to live in Sector 4 too because of mean ol' ShinRa?
You can't add thirty+ hours of content to four hours of game and have it not be bloated filler. You can't.
I know that you and I can't really visualize it, but we're also not making games for a living.
At any rate, you can actually do that, and do it successfully. You do it by fleshing out what you already have, and by adding new threads that are either completely separate, or that influence the main story in some way. Just having Wedge, Jessie, and Biggs be actual characters should provide a ton more potential.
I'm not trying to convince you to buy the game. No need to reiterate that you aren't interested; we know. I'm just arguing the merit of fleshing stuff out for the rest of us. I mean, it sounds like you aren't interested in even replaying this game at all, but for those of us who are interested in playing this game again (albeit we a lot of new additions), it's a good thing that the game tries to make us care more about those kinds of characters.Unless they're actual party members who add to the gameplay, I legitimately do not give one fraction of a shit about them because I already know they're going to die. No amount of "fleshing out" will make it worth $60 and 40 hours.
They need to rename this shit. Might as well make it a full sub-franchise at this point.

I found them lacking in the original game, so it's more like "fuller" to me.I just don't see the value in adding some sob backstory to Biggs or making Jessie flirt with Cloud more than she already did in the original game.
At least making them battle party members would be something meaningful, but more cutscenes that just expand on shit we already got the first time around are literally filler, you know?

Part 1- FF7: Remake
Part 2- FF7: Reunion
Part 3- FF7: Reaaaally hard secret bosses
Edit: Alternatively just labeling them Disc 1, Disc 2, and Disc 3 would be fine.
i think yoshi-p's (ff14 boss man) business division 3 team is doing ff16This doesn't mean another team isn't working on FFXVI right now.
These fucking visuals man. Link to the DL?I took a buncha screencaps from the prores video in the PR site. Some look nice enough for wallpaper material, others still have too much compression.
