There have been references to Cid in all of the FFI ports/remakes. He also makes an appearance in Dissidia.

Rumor: Square Enix Set to Announce a New Action-RPG Final Fantasy Spinoff

Finally, they can use those Dissidia models for good instead of evil
LMAO
But...mood, though.
Shame that they didn't let Amano design them since it's one of 'his' games (unless you're generalising FF designs as a whole as Nomura?)
Koei Tecmo registered a new trademark for a new engine called "Katana Engine" they'll probably use this engine for next gen and from the name itself you can guess it's from Team Ninja.
They used to make the best looking games during PS2/Xbox era, so it'll look good at least, specially under Square Enix's involvement.
Isn't the next Eidos game Guardians of the Galaxy? I thought that was an open secret this point.
Nomura? Huh...
I was kind of expecting monsters to match XV as they were very much based on Amano's original concepts, and then the same for characters to remain consistent. I was not expecting Nomura for this, not even Nomura's take on Amano's characters as per Dissidia to be honest.
A slight letdown for me personally, but I haven't seen it yet so it could all be okay.
EDIT: Just editing this to say that I don't actually have an issue with Nomura's artwork or designs, or the man himself. It just wasn't what I was expecting from something like this.
Thanks for your responses. Surely being on the PS5 rather than PS4 means that it should be at least a decent step up from the NIoh games though?
Amano is probably expensive as hell. He had been a working artist for 20 years when he worked on FF1 lol
I doubt Amano wants that kind of work anymore. He doesn't need the money, I'm sure. That's why he just does logos and peaces out.
I know a lot of people like to criticise Nomura designs but I personally love the unique flair his designs have, so bring it on!
Couldn't Nomura designs also be monster designs since he did a lot of famous creatures for the series? Maybe he redesigned some of them for this game specifically?
To be fair, the rumor is based on the idea that it will be in the original world or emulating that feeling. I really don't want Nomura designs recreating that world; just honor the Amano designs for the monsters at least.
Ultimately, I just hope this game will at least let me make a warrior of light and just allow me to make my Blackbelt or Red mage

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm legit sad now
Disliking his art direction does not mean we hate him lmfao
You should grow up
Maybe we play as Garland from a dark POV and witness his entire corruption. Maybe this will be the first game we play as a villain
I feel like short bite sized missions would suit a loot based game better than over an hour long stages but I could see them trying to do both. They already experimented in Nioh 2 with scrolls that could be turned into loot farming missions if needed and also keep longer story missions.
I more interested in what they do with the stages themselves. For people who never played Nioh, main missions in that game are very straight forward and to the point, even more so in Nioh 2. There are no boss set pieces or otherwise, there are no puzzles to solve; its go from point A to point B and fight a bunch of enemies and sometimes find keys to unlock doors.
It works for Nioh and I welcome it like that personally but idk if something as prestigious as FF would be ok with that kind of approach. I'd love to see them do more on that aspect of the game as it has been a slight criticism of both Nioh games.
Damn.... sad but expected.
I guess same for Kingdom Hearts...
Nomura designs is a big W. Looking even more forward to this now
Not surprised at all but damn, hopefully next year then

Nomura designs do pique my interest. I am THRILLED that there are multiple difficulty settings. Thank goodness. I really did not want to get frustrated trying to do the same things for all of an eternity. FFVIIR Hard Mode is the peak of difficulty I'd want, lmao.
Feels reasonably obvious to me that FF7 Intergrade will probably include some kind of unlockable secret ending teaser thingy and that'll be more than enough to stir up conversation/speculation/et cetera.
Everybody who's mad about Nomura-style art...y'all realize Amano is like 70 and hasn't been an employee of Square Enix in almost two decades, right? He's not coming back to do the art design for a full game.
Who else were you expecting to do the character designs for this game? As far as I'm aware Roberto Ferrari walked away from Square after difficulties during XV's development process, and generally prefers to work WITH Nomura on stuff anyway.
