FFVII fighting game

[Mirage]

Like SF or tekken? Wouldn't it be a lot more natural to suggest games that include weapons already, such as Blazblue or soul calibur?

In either case, i agree.

Sure, why not just have a fighting game that does it all?

I can't believe I am drawing this! Here's the Honey Bee Inn stage BG lineart:

[DK]

Oh my god yes! Mukki!

this this a thousand times this oh sweet lordy yes

[DrAssenov]

Holy moly Sephiroth! You're amazing! *hi-5's*

Yeah! Mukki gets to watch!

Seph and Aeris drawn in. Aeris assists with a shiiiiieeeeeeeldddd

I don't think Cloud should be wearing that dress anymore-- there is enough ridiculousness going on in this drawing ALREADY.

I'll put him in his FFVII garb.

[DK]

Oh man keep the dress in the honeybee in hell yes that is amazing.

[Roogle]

I can't help but think Aeris is a touch out of her depth though!

I have seen a lot of people with this impression of Aerith. Fortunately, there are fan works that portray her as just as much of an action girl as Tifa. Here are some examples:

Mugen- Aeris Gainsborough and Tifa Lockheart vs Sephiroth - YouTube

Final Fantasy Stop motion- Sephiroth the World's Enemy

Despite the fact that she is considered as a supportive character, these portrayals do not show her as out of character -- she does not lose her femininity or her personality by being a little tougher in action scenes rather than a simple healer.

[maybee]

What characters should be playable ? I reckon

Cloud
Crisis Core Cloud ( with the gun )
Zack
Reno
Rude
Cissinei
Tifa
Aerith
Barret
Yuffie
Sephiroth
Genesis
Angeal
Rufus Shrina
Elena
Tseng
Vincent
Hojo
Mukki
Loz
Yazoo
Kadaj
Weiss
Nero
Azul
Shelke
Zangan
Johnny
Reeve

Anybody else ?

[Rostum]

I must admit, the Honey Bee Inn concept had me rather hot and bothered. Be great if fans could put this together, since we know Square would rather come out with crap like All The Bravest than pure awesomeness like this.

I refuse to acknowledge Advent Children characters, because it was utter pants.

That is no objective truth so don't write it like one.

it's an undeniable fact and you are wrong. this is the internet and the loudest person is correct so this cannot be refuted.

I hope you are not serious about this. Or I need to tell you a thing or two about axioms and an unflexible self concept. For axiomatic reasons like truth in its origin being completely objective and opinion being subjective so not being the same both of your sentences don't make sense and are wrong. And axioms cannot be refuted. But I guess it really was not meant to be serious so you wanted to annoy me.

[DK]

I refuse to acknowledge Advent Children characters, because it was utter pants. Should be kept to the original game, with maybe an exception for crisis core but that's about it.

Other than the main party + Sephiroth I'd have:

Mukki
Don Corneo
Big Bro
Reno
Rude
Elena
Bugenhagen
Rufus
Palmer


And then maybe bonus characters like the Chocobo Sage and Zack. And Mr. Dolphin

[Mirage]

It would be nice of materical would be in the game and let you customize characters in certain ways. Not necessarily in as great detail as FF7 let you, but you could be able to equip a limited number of them to gain certain attacks or effects.

The effects shouldn't be game-breaking I guess, but they should be noticable. For example, you could have Restore materia which would make you regenerate health a tiny bit faster when the character was swapped out in tag battles, or vitality plus to gain a tiny bit more defence, or hp plus to gain a tiny bit more health.

I also want all limit breaks to return in one form or another, either as a bit more difficult to execute combo finishers, or as gauge-using supers or mini-supers.

I really want satellite beam and finishing touch as well, for example, in addition to their lv4 limits.

[DK]

Yeah I think it would be a bit impractical to have them have all their limit breaks as supers, but could probably be spaced out over normal specials and super moves. Cloud's Cross slash, for example, could be something like Fei Long's Rekka-Ken three part move, and Climhazzard could be like a Shoryuken style thing and so on. And then Omnislash could be a three bar super or something. although I do think this is all probably far past our reach of actually creating, but it's fun to imagine it anyway

edit:

That is no objective truth so don't write it like one.

it's an undeniable fact and you are wrong. this is the internet and the loudest person is correct so this cannot be refuted.

[Mirage]

Yeah. I guess limits level 1 and 2 would generally be best to implement as good but difficult non-gauge moves. while most lv3 limits would probably require spending some gauge.

I agree that we totally need Big Bro. And cloud's wall market dress totally needs to be unlockable. In fact, all outfits seen used by characters in all the games and in AC should probably be unlockable, as well as a few original designs just for the new game.

How do you guys feel about being able to change between weapons? Visual change only, or should weapons have additional effects attached to them? I know I've always had a lot of fun in Soul Calibur with unlocking powerful weapons and customizing things there.
