Probably something more modern.

I liked the original cause it really sticks out like a sore thumb.

I think it would be cool if they kept it, but made it more like the size of a save sphere in FFX. Or twice the size of a save sphere so it still stands out a bit more.

I don't think they'll be any save points.

To fully enjoy the experience I think they'll just make players complete it in one go.

[Sephex]

I have a feeling that the icon will be somewhere in the game as a nod to the original, but saving itself will be different.

It might be a checkpoint with an autosave and full hp/mp restore.

I hope not..

[Mirage]

because buying a tent is high-level gameplay.

[Ayen]

It'd be cool if they did, but I won't cry if they don't.

And, of course, the game's too linear to allow you to go backwards.

I agree with escobert. The auto heal in FFXIII after every battle took away some of the challenge of getting from point A to point B without dying, running low on MP, managing restorative items etc.

Not everyone thinks resource management is a fun gameplay element. Also, why are you bringing up what FF13 did? That's not what I was talking about at all.

That is true that not everyone enjoys resource management. Also I know you weren't talking about FFXIII, I just used that as an example. In regards to checkpoints upon further thought I wouldn't mind it at all. In FFXV you have save point (camping) and checkpoints which you can return to if you die. Not sure if it heals you, though.

[Mirage]

I was thinking the save points in the 7 remake will be like the traveller's spheres in FFX.

[Elly]

i'm hoping the save points in the remake will be like the ones in X... i really liked that they healed you too, way convenient, especially when lvl grinding...

no save no materia challenge
