The same way they're gonna play this game? I'm not sure I understand the question.

Square Enix releases the opening movie for Final Fantasy VII Remake

With some "complaints" you wonder if people even palyed the original.
Are you saying that a 1:1 remake with modern day visuals will appeal to the '97-'98 babies? You know that this remake is basically for them for the most part, right?
I don't agree at all. When he regains his true personality, we see that he becomes more open, more sincere and shows us he's way more goofy that he tried to look. There's a wonderful scene on the highwind with Yuffie in which he talks about how much he gets sick, just like her and is totally opposite of his usual stern look that Nomura likes him to portray him so much in AC. The actual Cloud is way more clumsy, goofy that his fake personality, something that the late game and even sometimes before, shows quite well.
What's more he totally places his trust on his friends to save the world, even if he considers it like his 'mission', he's glad he has his companions with him before entering the crater. Not only he becomes way more open about himself, even about his weaknesses, he learns to become dependant and perfectly understands he's not the perfect soldier he dreamed to become. He learns he needs others to succeed.
Then AC throws all that for the window, there's no sign of his actual personality in the movie, none of his more affective side, none of his more clumsy side, none of his more dependant side, he becomes his glorified super soldier image from the first half of the original game and never goes back. That's not a good character arc, that's shitting on everything that made your character relatable for the 'emo' image people built around him.

KH's Cloud edgelord and AC's Cloud is basically the same character. Everything you wrote about AC Cloud can be, literally, be transcribed to KH's Cloud. Nomura's Gackt era destroyed the character forever.

That's been in the product description on digital and physical marketplaces for months now.
I knew it! I had a feeling that was the case when playing it at E3.
Huh. Oh yeah... you're right. I guess it didn't seem as awkward to think about it in the original due to the blocky graphics. But ehh, it's a minor thing, no biggie. It is still an ultimately cool moment seeing him jump off and get ready.
I'm really curious how they're gonna handle the ending with this first installment given that it'll only cover Midgar. Did they say already that they're changing the final boss to not be the... flamethrower death machine thing we fought in the original? I feel like I read that somewhere, though maybe that was just speculation. They can't possibly end the game on that boss, so I'm curious how they'll add another one in, if they do.
it's also that the prompt straight up lies to you. it tells you to press it before it gets too close but you're not meant to press it that early. it's just clumsy and weird
They have not said what the final boss is but it would be pretty hilarious if they thought Motor Ball was a worthy final boss so it's almost definitely getting changed.
Has it been confirmed anywhere that this only covers the story up until the party leaves Midgar? Like an actual source? Or are people just assuming this?
Well I'll be.
I'm in two minds about the added content. Too much bloat will be unnecessary, but I also fear that the game will be very short otherwise.
Could you imagine this game comes out and it's only like eight hours long?
For new players part 3 or 4 return to Midgar will feel like MGS4 return to shadow Moses lol
I see it as a full blown FF game. If the last few are any indication I expect 60 to 100 hours to Platinum. The main plot points are sign posts .They are going to add story to the game but will reach the same conclusions.
adding acted dialogue alone is gong to at least double the length of the original midgar section
See, now I kinda wanna see a scenario in which it does turn out to be the final boss and they've added classic FF final boss multiple phases to it and it becomes this mega death machine thing with the most epic orchestral music accompanying it.
Hopefully the execution will be good enough that it won't hurt the original story. I'm somewhat worried about it all too, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited at the thought of exploring more of Midgar and seeing more stories play out of it.
Having very recently finished the Midgar portion of the original, it's pretty cool going through the trailers again now to see what they've added and trying to fit them into the puzzle.
That would be lovely for the new players, haha. I just hope they won't have to wait too long to feel that way cause I don't wanna have to wait too long to play the rest of the story.
Thread title is funny because a few days ago we basically just had "Square Enix releases the ending shot for Final Fantasy VII Remake"
I tried not to watch it...
As soon as the logo appeared and the music kicked in, I was right back there on PS1 playing it for the first time and got the same chills.
Just as an aside, this was the first Final Fantasy we got in Europe and, as a result, the first one I ever played, so it's a massive nostalgia kick.

Nitpicking: The first FFs we got were actually Final Fantasy Gaiden: Seiken Densetsu (released in Europe as "Mystic Quest") and Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest (released in Europe as "Mystic Quest Legend") :p
How? They were both originally released in Japan as FF games.
There was blog post where they very heavily hinted at adding a new final boss.

As a long time FF7 fan, I will agree that the first part of the intro felt unnecessary, but I guess they just really just wanted to communicate that Midgar is a living, breathing city.
The second half though? Absolute perfection.

how sad is it that midgar increasingly reminds me of modern-day toronto? and how far ahead of their time were they in regards to climate change? very apropos for 2020. we should've listened then! AVALANCHE are pretty much a bunch of eco-terrorists and i love it.
also, that unnecessary flip that cloud does off the train never fails to crack me up. so cool, but so unnecessary.
anyway, i loved it. i cried. i need this game already

Why is him doing the flip is so unnecessary? It was in the original.
no shit, that's why i love it. what are you talking about, it's completely unnecessary, as in him actually flipping like the tryhard dork he was being at that point.
i wasn't talking about its actual inclusion 😓🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
To be fair the original had chibi models.
It would be like expecting Barret and Tifa to merge into Cloud just because that's what the party system was like in the original.
Not even the same comparison. It still looks cool as heck. Maybe I need to play these mainstream games to share the same opinion as some of you regarding the flip.
