Extended Trailer and Gameplay Trailers

[Sephiroth]

My only real concern so far is that the Scorpion Armor boss fight really seemed like it was dragging in places, making me fear the game is going to go a bit overboard with cinematics and played out events during boss battles in the hopes of raising tension.

That is more or less what I was thinking. Dragging out the battles for more flash - which is cool, to an extent - but overstaying its welcome could be a difficult thing to balance. The battles should not be longer than Crisis Core's or Dirge of Cerberus' and that one seemed to be. Maybe every battle has a good length fitting itself. I cannot imagine fighting Palmer for 10 minutes. if he is even a playable boss battle in one of the remake installments. Or fighting the Turks for so long.

And while the voice actor is not all that bad this will be so the Japanese voice over for me without George Newbern. But I need that for the actual story anyway so fine by me.
