[killerx]

Trailer is just amazing kind of reminds me of kingdom hearts

[Krandor]

That's look pretty fucking good, but I also don't believe for a single second that a current console can actually pull those graphics off with anything resembling a stable framerate

[Vaspinne]

FF7 mixed with KH style combat? All day erry day I'll take it

Since he said "..of the old days", one has to assume straight up ATB where you input commands directly into prompt.

What I guess is going to happen will be a combination of ATB (Final Fantasy pre-X) and CSB (Final Fantasy XIII). The team can't deviate too far from ATB, because the fans will HATE if the battle is centered upon just Cloud alone. People love VII battle in part due to allowing the input commands of multiple party members. I'm guessing what the development team is fighting with is maintaining some sort of ATB gauge while having free flowing movement of the characters while in battle and having a well fixed camera position when selecting commands per character.

What I would find interesting is how they deal with random encounters.

I also can see why they want to move away from pure ATB and Turn Based Combat. Considering how much graphics have evolved and matured, there's simply no longer a purpose for having ATB from the old ways -- one can't justify watching a battle where the good guys and the bad guys are taking turns wailing on each other in tandem. It just looks silly in this day and age. Fights have to be somewhat seamless now, where it's actually like a melee happening between both sides. Usually SE tries to meet ATB halfway, and you get combat systems like in XIII, XI/XIV, or XII, all of which center around the "central" character, with the emphasis taken off the party members, if not completely.

If Nomura can pull it off a perfect mash of turn based action, it will definitely be seen as a marvel in and of itself.

This is exactly how I envisioned how the remake should look. To the T, even. The camera essentially could zoom in and pan over to each individual character when issuing commands as well. "Attack" essentially could initiate an endless stream of auto attacks, whilst filling up a gauge for a new, special attack. Essentially this would mean magic and abilities could have a cast time (varying lengths, depending on the materia). Taking damage would fill the Limit Bar. Issuing a Limit Break would start up a cinematic, while summoning a summon would either have the classic "fade away of party members" or the even more reasonable animation of the party running away to a safe distance (ala-FFX) before the summon starts to wreck shit.

The concept of "Back Row" attacking would be changed, so where melee type characters would be unable to attack. Items would be instant and have no start up time.

Quoting myself for max emphasis.

Pretty sure that was Climhazzard and Big Shot in the video.

[Kaelan?]

The gameplay is like FFXV but with commands, also other party members are controllable, they showed off barret.

first thing I thought of when I saw the trailer

[The Stig]

Did all the FF7 scenes look engine generated? No FMV? I was trying to divide the 2.

In FFXIII it was obvious what was FMV and what wasn't, but this time given what we were given it was hard to tell.

It was also nice to see it all really gritty. Here's to hoping it's not linear and/or that they replicated the maps.

[Vaspinne]

It's still waaaaay too early to say whether anything battle-wise is confirmed or not I'd think

[Kaelan?]

It looked more like FF12 style to me, tbh

[Lonely]

The HD port of FFVII was just release and it includes the remake background of Cloud and Midgar as well as having Aerith theme and FFVII sound effects.

[Zetanio]

I don't know what any of that is or means but it looks terrific.
