I knew they would give in to japanese complaints. They always do.I knew something was different the moment I saw Aerith. They got rid of the cat lips and they shrunk her chin.
Not gonna watch. Is the opening completely CG? Or is there any segment with real time graphics ?
I believe the prevailing opinion is that it's almost all CG but the end is in real time. There's a moment at the end where smoke fills the screen and that's likely when the transition occurs.Not gonna watch. Is the opening completely CG? Or is there any segment with real time graphics ?
The guy that steps on it didn't see it. He's carrying a bunch of boxes.As awesome as the trailer looks, I tend to always roll my eyes when games go for that "the city is so rough and raw that this person just stepped on Aeris' flower with NO regard for her" feel. Like I live in Chicago. If somebody dropped their shit on the ground and was on their hands and knees collecting it, nobody is gonna come through and drag their boots haha
Aa... I think I know that scene. It's when cloud riding on top of the train, steam smokes fill the screen, train stopped and cloud jumped on to the floor with his buster sword right? Is there any never-before-seen footages on the opening intro?I believe the prevailing opinion is that it's almost all CG but the end is in real time.

Yup! And there's a lot of never before seen stuff at the beginning.Aa... I think I know that scene.

I'm not freaking out, that's misrepresentation, sorry to say this just think some of you guys might not want other opinions.You all are freaking out over nothing. He can have a cool voice and this will make the inscurities show off even more when they do show off, which fits the character pretty well.
"I know more about Final Fantasy VII than the people who made it, baka!"Not really, it's foreshadowing the story is about the universe, not just Gaia and the same music plays in the telescope scene.
Bugenhagen shows that,. My guess is the developers of the remake just thought of the zoom out shot, let's make it bigger and cooler but didn't think of the point of the orginal scene. It's like giving Red XIII a cool and wise voice, he may look bad arse, but he's more like a reckless teenager. I worry they have a superficial understanding of the original.
It was nice overall, but when Cloud does a flip off the train and swings his sword, well that was cheesy. Just jump down like a normal person instead of a tryhard edgelord next time. Square-Enix tries too hard to make characters cool, but it's just silly.
Of course, Cloud was a bit of an edgelord in the original too, but it was cooler when I was a teenager.
Errrrr nope. It's not misrepresentation. The party gets surprised when they learn Red is a teenager when they get to Cosmo Canyon and he pretty much barely shows his weakness before that, hell, he barely speaks. So, yeah, he being calm and cool fits the character perfectly.I'm not freaking out, that's misrepresentation, sorry to say this just think some of you guys might not want other opinions.
It starts off with complete CG and then transitions into in-game cutscenes, similar to the original FF7 intro.Not gonna watch. Is the opening completely CG? Or is there any segment with real time graphics ?
It's a very special game for a lot of people, naturally there's going to be some hyper critical of it.hat being said, people are extremely nitpicky with this game and I've noticed that a lot the past few days
happy they got rid of the cat lips. The rest of the changes don't really phase me. I like the lighting of the newer model. Idk if they changed it bc they wanted to give in to the japanese fans who said she was too white, or for unrelated reasons, but either way I like it. The muted dark green lighting on the left matches what I always imagined the mako-infused lighting to look like.I knew something was different the moment I saw Aerith. They got rid of the cat lips and they shrunk her chin.

Eh, if the game makes bad changes, I'm not going to say otherwise because I didn't work on it. That sounds like a fallacy. Like it wasn't "freaking out", because they didn't see it that way. That's also just another way trying to shut down criticism as people whining."I know more about Final Fantasy VII than the people who made it, baka!"

No you're projecting your assumptions onto the original intent that the people who made the game (and most of the people in this thread) don't share with you and saying that since it doesn't fit YOUR vision of the game, it's because they didn't understand it.Eh, if the game makes bad changes, I'm not going to say otherwise because I didn't work on it.

Hoo... ok then. I'll wait til April then😉👍🏼Yup! And there's a lot of never before seen stuff at the beginning.
godamn this game, I can barely wait anymore!
Hilarious! Never heard that one before!
It's like a famous example, Lucas changes the climax of ROTJ and getting rid of the subtley of Vader not saying anything and then he saves Luke, but we see what he's thinking, it was moving... and he ruined why that scene he worked on in the first place and added "NO! NO!" in the special edition. Sometimes things can be lost in updates or remakes and we should be free to say when we believe the point of scenes has been lost, without personal insults, like different posts being called childish.No you're projecting your assumptions onto the original intent that the people who made the game (and most of the people in this thread) don't share with you and saying that since it doesn't fit YOUR vision of the game, it's because they didn't understand it.
It's a childish argument.
He throws one lines at the party during a long time in the game before going to Cosmo canyon. He doesn't share much about himself. He is quiet, calm and collected. You just learn who he really is when you get to Cosmo canyon.
I guess you haven't heard that Cloud has been renamed to Hero Swordman and that Tifa has been renamed to Punch Kickwoman.I just may be old, but I like the original opening better. Shorter, more to the point, gets to gameplay faster.
I also feel like the new opening is hammering the 'Earth is dying' theme way too hard, super early. Might be a Kojima level of beating people over the head with its messaging.
Still going to buy it, tho.
Isn't Aerith supposed to be western looking though? I thought Nomura said she was based on Easetern Beauty while Tifa was based on astern.Yeah. This change is probably because the japanese base shat their pants because Aerith face was too long and western looking...
Other than swinging his sword, he does that exact same flip off the train in the original. It's completely intentional, and a core part of Cloud's persona to "look cool" (for a spoiler reason explained later in the game).
Also, fucking loved that opening. They even incorporated parts of the original announcement trailer into it, like the kids playing and the girl looking up to the sky, shots of the Midgar, etc.
I won't go into too much detail unless you ask, but the combat looks significantly better than XV's so far, and has gotten very good previews. Still action based, but very different.That really got me quite emotional, and I haven't really been following the lead up to release that closely. Nostalgia is a powerful thing.
Even though I didn't like the combat in ffxv I think nostalgia is going to make me buy this now. It looks too good, and that music...banderas.gif
Have to?Rather I'm sad that I'll have to wait until 2030 or something before I can play this game.
