Funnily, people are already making edits removing the socks and enlarging the boobs. Because people are dumb.

It does kind of feel like they’re blending some of the more interesting elements from XII, XIII and XV into this battle system. If anything, it does look like a solid blend of action and ATB, which is exactly what they promised. I’m also just shocked that this is coming out in less than a year.

What’s also strange is that, I don’t know if you’ve noticed but the voice cast has been entirely replaced. I have no idea why. New guys sound really good, Cloud especially, but still

Similar. My interest was near zero, but then somehow, magically, this trailer and gamplay has sold me on this? Like it genuinely feels like how I felt about the original game at first, while at the same time there is evidently a lot of new concepts in this, and I'm all up for reinterpretation. I have similar worries regarding Aerith, but this trailer was also a bit better about showing her, so I'm still hoping they'll keep her streetwise. And I know you're not a Tifa fan, but I do like the way she seems to be fitting into this game. Her design is nice and I like that she's voicing the more moral concerns regarding Avalanche's activity that the original game kinda glossed over. It looks like they;'re trying to add a bit mroe self-reflection this time around, which might bode well for the third act of the game, but we'll see.

So far, I'm convinced it'll be three disks, with the second one ending either after Aerith's death or Cloud's breakdown, but we'll see. Honestly, when thinking about it, making Midgar a whole game of its own makes a ton of sense with how dense it is compared to the rest of the game, and I'd rather have a really fleshed out, explorable Midgar than have it be half-assed just so more game can happen. Also, structurally it works, with the Shinra building acting as a great final dungeon of a first entry.

Another thing that I really like so far is the battle system. The ATB gauge use with the menus, along with switching party leaders on the fly really reminds me of FFXII, which is always a good connection to make. Makes me wonder if we'll have something like gambits for the party members not currently controlled.

Penny for your thoughts on the FFVII remake after the most recent coverage

Which skill set did you end up picking for her? I had the zip one that gives you Megido earlier and it was great

Remember to trade your MAG for ten and vice versa for optimal profits

Wow. Talk about multitasking

Ah yes, you need the Pal Park for that, and that becomes accessible once you get the National Dex for which you need to have all Sinmoh Pokémon registered as seen. So for the main game, you’re stuck with Ponyta

I mean, you definitely can, but I can’t be certain when that becomes available

I think you can also transfer pokes from Ruby. But I’m not sure if it isn’t until the post-game
