I thought 7 had a great narrative. 8 was a little too mellow for some but I enjoyed the story.
The whole Jenova escape thing was creepy as fuck for 11 year old me.
Ong yes the Jeniva prison cell thing was uber freaky. My hair still stands thinking of it. Also freaky were the totally black models for the failed reunion clones and the things they mumbled. And the Shinra manor
Prison cells is probably one of the things I look forward to the most in the remake. They can potentially make the mood so creepy in that scene. Definitely one of -if not the - most memorable moments in the game. Creeped me the fuck out as a kid.
Not only that, there was no battle/victory music for that little portion of the game. The creepy music that played remained...
Now, imagining that in a FFXV like system (as we don't know what they will do yet), you're tasked to follow the trail of blood. The above bgm, remastered or not, plays. As you step out the prison cell, the corridor is dark. Some lights are flickering, there is ... a trail of blood on the floor. And some splats are on the wall. As you turn left around the corner to escape the prison section, the corridor is very dark, you can't see to the end of it. A very brief flicker of light allows you to just see what's ahead. As you inch your way along (for a more tense environment, lets say they disabled your ability to run here, it's walk mode only), some blood is still running down on the wall. You start to hear weird noises. Another flicker of light is present you and you catch a slightly longer brief glimpse of:

if you were paying attention. If not, the strange noises get louder and louder and sudden a group of 3 make an appearance from the dark corridor and attack.
<battle engages> <running is re-enabled>
Cloud - watch out!
Barret - shi shit what the fuck is this?!
Aerith - ahhh !
Continue the above atmosphere, maybe disable running still to make it so you cannot run away from encounters, add more specimen type mobs (ideally double the creepiness) as you follow the blood, until you reach the president's office.
No one mentioned the ghosts in the one place where you find out aboutI bet that place will be creepy as fuck in the remake.Spoiler: show
Yes, there's a lot of potential in a lot of locations/scenes for sure, VII was pretty grim/gritty in general, but a lot of it didn't translate well due to the graphical style.
Train Graveyard, Anxious Heart.
All my feels.
Man. i can only imagine how badass the solar system is going to look. I remember seeing the system that Seymour showed in 10 and that was on ps2. imagine that shit in HD.
Anxious Heart > Tifa > Flower Girl > OWA > BIRTH > Cosmo >>>>> Everything Else
Holding my thoughts in my heart is also precious. Glad to see someone mention Nanakis dad, shit was freaky for sure especially when the ghost boss came out.
They better use some crazy technology to make him a glorious hairy beast.
This comment got my attention.
That awesome moment when you've spent five hours in Midgar, the party is standing outside the gate as this plays, and you realize the game has only just begun.
Many feels for red XIII's old man. Feels for Dyne commiting suicide. Cait Sith version 1 suicide. Aerith death.
Childhood feels, man.
