FFVII - Remake - The Official Thread OMG it's coming !!!!!!!

[Ellie]

I have been waiting for this game since 2002, literally. That's when FFX came out in Europe and that's when rumours of this game first started surfacing.

Aww yeah it;s coming

Yes

Anyway. Discuss.

 

[coyotecraft]

I've heard rumors that it's not just a remake but a reinvisioning. Something about new plotlines, Sephiroth's motivations are different. Like "Remake" in the title has some story significance.
Everyone kinda expects a "Twist" that Aerith won't die, but Tifa will.

My favourite part was the Materia, that was a cool system. Hope it gets extended.

ive had the plot spoiled roughly for me already

Spoiler: my thoughts, no spoilers

its set in an alternate timeline and is self aware of it as it plays into the plot. certainly on paper the original is a much more nuanced, detailed story with significantly more gravity to the situation. it's unfortunately not a case of 'what if ff7 was recreated in the modern day? but rather 'what if we made a modern game of a ff7 fanfic'

i'm half salty about this, because a lot of people will experience ff7 for the first time here and imo it's missing some of the stuff that made the original so good. on the other hand, its more accessible so those people probably wouldnt have played the original anyway so who cares

What you spoke of, reminds me a lot of the reviews I've seen about RE3make. That game seems to carry a lot of "It's good, but...", so I hope FF7make doesn't get that problem as much.

 

[Ellie]

I'm sort of ok with any changes they make. Vii was limited by the engine in many ways, so I consider the story similarly stunted.

I've had the game since Monday, ShopTo were one of the stores sending it out early here in the UK lol, sadly I haven't started it yet since I've told myself I can't play it until I finish Ni no Kuni 2, lol :P

 

[Ellie]

I don't even have it pre-ordered to be fair.

 

[Xhukari]

I thought you were so excited for it, haha. Or are you being savvy and waiting for reviews? :huh:

 

[Spoo]

I'm excited to have the PC edition next year maybe. I don't even own a PS4 right now and I'm not entirely convinced I need to buy another one.

 

[Spoo]

That said, looking forward to crushing on hi-def Tifa with the objectively better outfit.

 

[Ellie]

It's good, it's good, it's gooooood

 

[Ellie]

So

Speaking purely classily and unobjectifyingly, of course,

Just thought you might like to know, that this is Aerith's voice actor.

Also this gamm is amazing

But I am limiting myself to a few hours a day so I don't peak too soon.

But (potentially spoiling), three and a half hours in and I haven't gotten to what would be this scene yet:

 

[Xhukari]

Oh freaky, the grate / grill on the pixel looks like it displaces when I scroll when it's on the screen!

 

[Ellie]

Spoiler: So the new S.O.L.D.I.E.R on the bike is the most annoying character in Final Fantasy history, and that is saying a LOT.

 

[Ellie]

Dude when you're in sector 5 reactor look DOWN, this is incredible

 

[coyotecraft]

I'm afraid to ask, but is it another hallway simulator?

 

[Ellie]

Not entirely, I'm having a lot of fun with the sidequests a d such. Put it this way my sister is 10 hours in and hasn't got to the scene I mentioned above yet.

But I imagine if you rushed it it could feel very linear.

 

[coyotecraft]

So they're already remastering the FF7 remake with a new edition subtitled intergrade. They've just enhanced the graphics and added blood (Who cares?).
But there's an new episode with Yuffie called "INTERmission"
She's got a companion Wutai-whatsit named Sonon. Set in Midgar, happening in parallel to the events of part 1.

She runs into Deep Ground soldiers from Dirge of Cerberus. We see Nero and Weiss.
No sign of Shelke.
Fort Condor Minigame.
Ramuh Summon.

From what I understand you can upgrade the game for free if you already have it but you have to purchase the Yuffie Episode as DLC.

You also need a PS5 ,
