I heard rumours that an FFVII remake was going to be announced, but I refused to believe it until I seen it. Now that I've seen it, I can't believe it! It's actually happening!
With Nomura running the show I don't think it'll be the traditional turn based JRPG that people are expecting it to be, but who knows. I look forward to finding out more.
Also the music really makes me want to watch Advent Children again.
We'll see. Sure, they announced it and had a trailer and all, but there's plenty of time for them to drop the ball, back-pedal and generally wuss out.
If it actually happens, I'll be chuffed. If it's a faithful remake that ups the visuals, and tweaks the dialogue but retains the core gameplay underneath, I'll be very pleased indeed.
My biggest worry is that Nomura's directing this remake. I don't think he has the talent, and I'd be worried he'll turn it into a retconned cluster-smurf of his favourite tropes and cliches.
Oh yeah, I forgot Nomura doesn't really do the turn-based thing.Originally Posted by fat_moogle
I don't think they'll get rid of Cloud's cross dressing. I mean, it's not like we haven't seen it in real life or on TV. Several animes have done it in the past. Thinking back to the Honeymoon Inn, it was innocent enough. The one thing they might consider removing is the rather suggestive bit when you're go through door number 2, but I could be remembering that wrong. I don't think the hot tub scene is a big enough deal to cut out. Then again, people these days do like to make a big deal out of nothing. I'm reminded of how Fox reacted to the ME1 love scene, despite it being nothing we haven't seen on prime time television.
I personally wouldn't be bothered if they changed things that were optional in the original game to begin with.
Neat.
I definitely did not get the reaction of some others in this thread, and I still half expect Squeenix to bungle this somehow...
Still gonna buy it though.
AIN'T NO GETTIN OFFA THIS HYPE TRAIN WE'RE ON!!!!!!!!!
Sweet, I'll finally be able to play this game now. The graphics were too horrendous for me whenever I tried playing the port on my PS3 or vita, I wish I didn't practically know the whole story but I'm still looking forward to playing it.
Jiggle physics aside, when I saw that trailer I made some very unmanly noises *coughs*
I thought it was very tastefully done I'll have you know!
BTW can I please mention the thrill it gives me to see 'Final Fantasy VII' in the 'New and upcoming releases' section
Yar! It does the old heart good, it does.
There was no way I could have been prepared for this. I hope it keeps references to the compilation to a minimum, and is tonally akin to Crisis Core
I hope that Square Enix will once again learn that Western Audiences do indeed want to play traditional RPGs thanks to the success of this. Maybe this time the lesson will be learned for more than a month.
My day so far: Wake up, find out about the remake, board the hype train, get sleepy, think about the remake, board the hype train, get sleepy, think about the remake...
And that's why they're doing it.
everything is wrapped in gray
i'm focusing on your image
can you hear me in the void?
Two months max. Three if we're lucky.
Not a bad cycle to be in.

This was probably all our reactions. Great video. I like how the one guy is perched like a bird.
