How will they fuck it up?

>Episodic
>Not turn based

It's already fucked.

You wont be able to crossdress as cloud, it'll have crisis core combat, and it will be episodic.

Give him a mace

By making it into a Telltale episodic game

no crossdress scene

This is squeenix, how won't they fuck it up?

Shift directors

By making a fem boy with spiky hair and a huge sword the main character.

They've already messed it up for me with it not being turn-based. Not really happy about it being episodic either.

It's square enix. They havent made anything good for over a decade

They already changed directors, it's XV all over again

Nomura got infinetly cucked.

Watch those idiots use orchestra instead of synth for JENOVA.

this

By making Cloud an emo like his AC persona.

I hope it looks just as good with UE4 as XV did with Luminous. Maybe better since it won't be open world and shit.

Since the original is a pretty terrible game, I'm pretty sure this will be way better.

Jeeezus

Cloud got really fucked up by that mako habit

They didn't even get his hair right

it's ATB based

Who is the most handsome ff character and why is it old noctis?

I keep hearing people say this, but the only source that actually supports anything related to it is a japanese report that Kyohei Suzuki is the new lead game designer and a two western clickbait sites.

What's the truth?

You can't get that hair "right" in 3D, it would look retarded.

Not that he doesn't look retarded now.

I understand why people are upset about the gameplay changes, but what I never get is why episodic is a bad thing. Can someone explain how a game being episodic makes it bad? There's nothing about the format that adversely affects Resident Evil Revelations 2 or Life is Strange. Or Hitman.

The truth is that Nomura is still the director.

>Not Jecht
Noctis can't even grow a proper beard and is still a manlet.
Plus he's a damn wizard (partly out of choice considering he wanted to end his bloodline at that point) and only release from his suffering was death.
Official rendering of Older Noctis looked good though.

>episodic for maximum shekels
>removing "controversial" elements like the crossdressing and references to terrorism
>using the dark, emo-esque aesthetic of Advent Children instead of the charming art direction of the original game

Maybe it'll actually have a proper translation instead of the Babelfish translation of the original

>What's the truth?
>Kyohei Suzuki is the new lead game designer
You just posted it, though it's not so much "new" as it is he's been lead game designer for a little while now and only recently spoke at a SE event where he was asked questions. American sites got word of this and misinterpreted it to mean FFVII has a new/second director in charge, which set off a chain reaction of shitposting on Sup Forums for obvious reasons.

Terrible voice acting and re-writing scenes and characters.

By trying to make it more "realistic". They start by changing up the art style, then the combat system, and so on. Which makes no sense, considering one of the best things about this game is how weird it was.

I'm okay with this gameplay, but maybe they should put in effort into making an 'original combat' mode? Come on Square, you're already making a shit ton of money by selling it in 3 parts.

I hope they use the Pro's power well. I got one just for this game and KH3. I want those summons to look glorious.

Looks the same to me.

I just hope costumes will be a thing. I'd love to play with KH1 Cloud and Cowgirl Tifa.

>Terrible voice acting
I'm predicting this, but it depends ENTIRELY on whether or not Bob Bucholtz, the english voice director from the Compilation/KH/Dissidia, comes back. He's more or less been in charge of all FFVII-related dub work, in spite of how mediocre he is. Steve Burton is actually a pretty great Cloud when he's allowed to emote, and Mandy Moore/Andrea Bowen were both decent Aeris voice actors. Rachel Leigh cook pretty much owns Tifa as a character, and Beau Billingsea is a PERFECT Barrett. What they need is a good voice director, and Bob Bucholtz is in desperate need of replacement, preferably by Keythe Farley (FFXV english voice director.)

Costume pack 1: only $3.99

Another reason why gaming journalism needs to be abolished.

How many times have we heard of something awful about an upcoming game only to find out (or not find out) that it was a translation error on Kotaku's part or something?

All they had to do is make the story 1:1 to the original
Keep the funny stuff funny
loads of minigame
Just don't make it a 'grimdark' reboot

> episodic
What does this mean?

fpbp

Well yeah, that goes without saying.

To hope that they'll just come with the game is way too unrealistic now.

Steve Blum has been decent as Vincent too.

That if they don't put effort into the releases people will not buy the following episode. It's a good thing and how thing will most likely be in the future

I hate what they did to Barrett. He should have been white. I won't play this drivel.

It means we're getting one third of the game and then wait a few weeks fir the next part.

If they pump em out fast like RE:Revelations 2, I'll have no problem with it.

What do you guys think they will announce/show? No doubt something FF7 Remake related since it's the exact date for its 20th anniversary.

Who the hell did Cait Sith and Red XIII? They had like one line each in the movie, so I don't remember.

Playable demo of the bombing mission from the remake only on PS4

Came to post this as well as first post best post.

Poor excuse of a remake that isn't a remake.

>Episodic
Wait thats true ?
Holy shit

Perhaps people here are more friendly...
How final fantasy games work? Each game is a completely different setting, with different characters and a different universe? Like an anthology? Or there are connections among titles?
Like the new one, FFXV, have you seen those characters and that story before in the other games, or they are completely reintroduced at each new title?

Each game is completely different

And how do the games play? I never played one at all...
Are they like other classic RPGs like Skyrim and fallout?

Are all anti-episodic cunts just expecting everything to be Half-Life 2? When was the last time that an episodic game ended up being bad due to being episodic?

I hate it how this trailer and the trailers for FFXV showed the combat be filled to the brim with particles and cool effects only for FFXV to be downgraded and have unimpressive particles all around. Some trailers even showed Noctis leaving a lot of crystal particles each time he dodged or warped, but in the final version only a few sparks here and there are shown.

When you cut the original non-episodic game into pieces to sell it separately.

No doubt they will do the same with this since the gameplay trailer was running at a pretty low fps.

I mean I get that it will be stupid as fuck but I can't imagine how else you would go about dubbing Barret, he constantly yells in ebonics.

Yeah, every time Cloud lunges at the enemies and that blue aura appears, the FPS take a huge dip.

...

Crisis Core's combat was pretty good, though.

half of that is made up nonsense based on your cynical and pessimistic expectations.

>expanded canon
>Genesis will forever taint the game's lore now

Would you rather have a premature ejaculation downgraded shitfest like XV or a complete game that take more time to release?

>Compilation of FF7 is canon
>CC/DoC characters will be relevant
>Cloud completely rewritten
>Characters commenting everything endlessly
>Combat/Customization will be dumbed down
Abandon all hope

t. No Man's Sky day one buyer

Is DoC even good, plot-wise? I thought CC was pretty retarded when Genesis got introduced.

Actually half of it is confirmed and the other half is common sense. Does any of it actually sound incorrect to you?
Almost all these things have already happened in spin offs.

They'll do edgy AC/KH Sephiroth, instead of actual crazy Sephiroth

How does that affect the content? Is it just the price thing? That you'll get five $14.99 episodes instead of five 12$ episodes? That it's going to cost something that's not muh $60? Revelations 2 didn't cost 60 dollars. It cost less.

You mean Punished Noctis.

I hope they give Red XIII and Cait Sith better voices.

That doesn't predicate it being bad so much as just predicates it being episodic. You can be bummed about the fact that what was once one big, but obviously budgeted and experimental game is now three high budget games, but that does not predicate them being bad games on that alone. On that matter, nor does the games not being purely ATB any longer.

What ACTUALLY matters is whether or not the remake titles do whatever they do well. A shift in genre is not the end of the world in all cases. For example.; I was once pretty fucking salty about the Syndicate reboot being an FPS, but it actually turned out to be a surprisingly good FPS. What IS a problem is if a remake/reboot tries to do what it's source material did, but does it poorly (DmC:DMC comes to mind.) FFVIIR has outright blatantly stated that they aren't going to try to do the same thing with the gameplay, and judging from Midgar, the scenery will be a faithful, improved interpretation, but the story is still a concern.

Nomura and his team have already demonstrated that they are capable of making good ARPG mechanics when they put their mind to it (KH2FM's Critical mode was a blast), my only complaint being the inability to switch party members when it may or may not be practical to do so. FFVIIR seems to have allieviated that concern, so I'm not that worried about the gameplay. All I need to see now is how they are going to implement the Materia system, because that can be either really fascinating if well done in real time, or really pretentious if it's treated as an afterthought.

Besides, given how low on story content FFXV was, if they say they need to make it episodic to get an acceptable experience, I'm just going to take their word for it, because I can't handle another MGSV.

XV looked like shit though. It's the whole reason why they switched to Unreal in shame.

I love synths, and while there are really good soundfonts on ffvii (like the beggining of jenova), most suck ass.

>Lucretia accidentally killed Vincents father, who for some reason dressed edgier than Vincent
>She was also mad wet for him
>Deep beneath midgar is a secret mako-reactor and research facility
>Injured Soldiers get Genesis's cells(probably cum) to become super soldiers
>They are called DeepGround(get it?) and they take over midgar and kill everyone there and in Calm
>Hojo didn't actually die but uploaded his mind to the internet so he can take over Weiss(german for white, because he is all white) so he can take over Omega Weapon so he can take over the lifestream
>Also Vincents last limit Chaos is super important because it can stop Omega Weapon 'n shit
>There is also a loli that wants the V-Dick
>Super-Secret-Ending: Genesis is alive and well and fucks off with Weiss's corpse because "it's not time to sleep yet Brother"

Just remembering all this makes me want to kill myself

When you look back at the original FF7, Cloud and Sephiroth almost never talked to each other. So it's strange rivalry.

If they keep it like the original, Sephiroth will barely have any lines.

You're selling a remake of a game without selling the game itself.

It's a smokescreen for idiots.

It would be fine if they release a FFVII remake and sequels of it to milk it as the episodes but no, let's sell just the disc 1 and 2 as a the game.

>Tifa will have brown eyes
I swear Tifafags don't even know their own waifu. I bet you think she's "curvy" too, and not a /fit/, skinny cardio bunny with big tits.

At least it can't be worse than XV. Right guys?

Lightning cameo with a forced quest need to get Knights of the Round

Our lord and saviour Nomura will return Final Fantasy on the throne once again.

It can.

>>Episodic
But that's a good thing. Square Enix has shown that they're good with episodic content. Hitman 2016 was a BETTER game because it was episodic.

They might skip this part.

>Lucretia accidentally killed Vincents father, who for some reason dressed edgier than Vincent

I don't remember that at all.

All I know is one thing. Just one thing.

When I'm playing through the Nibelheim flashback scene in Kalm, or in Mako Reactor, or in the Northern Crater or in the Lifestream or wherever
If I hear the words, "Infinite in mystery is the gift of the Goddess" I am going to close the game, eject the disc, put it back in the box, switch off my console, go back to the store, return it and swear off of Square Enix
For
Life

turn based JRPGs
just look up gameplay, you're on the internet

>tifa getting cucked by crossdressing cloud
I didn't know I wanted this until now.

iirc it was when she experimented with chaos and then the tank explodes and Vincent's daddy dies while saving her.

I think Square should just outsource Final Fantasy to 3rd party developer like Platinum Games, or Atlus at this point because they obviously don't know what they are doing.

Not being able to control everyone. The trailer showed you being able to control Barret, but imagine if they took that away in the final version.

That's the definition of a remake, though. They're remaking the game and its mechanics.

Eh 1.75m is decent. PLUS that nigga is king, chicks dig that

>Originlly a turn based RPG.
>Make it more an Action RPG.

Jesus user, I'm having a serious deja vu here.

Also, not a fucking remake. Kirby SS Ultra is a remake and a godlike one.

I will rage if they make tifa tits smaller

Cloud is such a perfect fucktoy.
