Final Fantasy 7 Remake (PC/PS4) - March 3rd, 2020

Well, there's so much potential if they expand further. I hope they return to the original script and incorporate some things they had to cut. There was a lot more to Midgar (hell, it has a lot of sectors even if all won't be used).

For example; slums ghost, corel valley cave, bottom of the sea, honey bee inn extra scenes, sephiroth clones story, origin of summons etc.

As long as they don't cut Mr. Dolphin.

Trying to do too much is usually SE's pitfall though. They end up having a ton of mediocre or even straight up broken content instead of focusing their efforts on the stuff that really matters and then expanding later.

Well to be fair, they warned everyone for years that if they touched FF7 again, it would change a lot. People didn't listen.

FFVII remake release day:

No good way for them to explain the Battle System in it's current state, but will confirm it's not ATB
More of a Action RPG but different, The first boss Guard Scorpion has a lot more Realism to the battle
Big Plans for the VII 20th Anniversary

Because nothing says realism like a 15 foot mechanical scorpion shooting lasers out of it's tail when you piss it off.

Incoming FFXV with a FF7 skin.

No good way to explain? Yeah, right. It's ok if they don't want to reveal too much about the system yet, but saying stuff like that just makes them look ridiculous, lol.

The full quote:

“If it had past materials like Kingdom Hearts, the basics would have been easy to understand, and the staff can understand the hurdles we’ve had to overcome, but at any rate, the battles in Final Fantasy VII have greatly changed from the original, since they’re something with more action in them,” Nomura said. “The next time I release information about Final Fantasy VII Remake, I think that I’ll definitely have to explain the specifics of what the battle system has become to the players. I think right now that nobody is really able to imagine a concrete battle, so I’m in the middle of coming up with steps that I can show and explain to people, ‘It’s this kind of battle.'”

Nomura continued to explain that while he understands many fans want the game’s original battle system in the remake, that it’s not the style they’re moving forward with.

“We’ve heard a lot of Final Fantasy VII fans also say that they want to play the game with the original ATB style, but for the remake we’re proceeding toward an action-heavy style,” he said. “Of course, we’ve added systems that future fans will be able to enjoy, so people who are bad at action-style battles, please don’t worry. For those who excel at action-style battles, we’re working to make this a system that’s different than what you’ve used before and can still enjoy.

[Gokulo]

Ok, my bad. Posted that before reading the article itself, the full quote sounds a lot different and not silly at all

[Vaspinne]

I thought it was already said that the game battles were going to play a lot like the Dissidia series?

[Alkar]

Hmm no, Nomura never said that it was going to play like Dissidia. He said it'll look like Dissidia which means more action oriented.

[Silenka]

Sorry, I read "I don't know how to explain our battle system" and all I hear is "I have no fucking clue what this actually is besides a complete mess". It would have been vastly better to not say anything at all.

That's not true but that reaction sounds like a normal FF fan reaction.

Don't change, try or do anything! It's scary!

[kuronosan]

I think he's worried that explaining the battle mechanics will cost them purchases.

[Zetanio]

I think he's worried that explaining the battle mechanics will cost them purchases.

Very valid concern, lots of nostalgia players.

[Niiro]

Change is fine as long as it's for the better, a good combat system that stands on its own is more important than either nostalgia or needlessly flashy, shallow garbage.

That said, I think it's gonna suck out loud.

[Insanecyclone]

Battle system form that first trailer just made it look like it was crisis core/kh style

[Waraji]

I don't mind a change in battle mechanics. If I wanted to feel nostalgic, I'd start up FF7 on Steam. The battle mechanics in 7 were just a steaming pile of dog shit up until midway through the game when you start getting OP materia combinations (Slash All, Mime, KotR, Counter). "All" materia was probably the one with the "coolest" feel starting early on, considering all the possibilities. But come on, we're talking 20 years ago guys...

FFXV will be cool and probably a lot of fun with its combat system, and I hope they bring some of that while also expanding on their knowledge together with the feel of FFVII's systems.

Let's be honest, we're all really just here to see Tifa's tits in HD.


But mainly Cloud going crazy, and Sephiroth wrecking shit. Man they better get dope ass voice actors for some of these batshit crazy characters.

[Zetanio]

We've had this discussion like 30 times already. No one here was expecting ATB. Everyone here has been expecting KH/FFXV battle system.

Aren't the VA from the most recent movie thing gonna be doing the game?

[Alkar]

Cloud, Sephiroth and Tifa have had the same VA in pretty much every game and movie with voices in it. Aerith changed a few times but I think they've found one in Andrea Bowen. I'm guessing Vincent/Cait/Yuffie will remain from DoC but I can't remember if those have been the same in all the games. The others have like 1 line in AC.
