Jimboxy Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I don't think I like the look or style of it. It isn't my FFVII, but I hope it's good still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 It didn’t occur to me until years later that the FF7 characters weren’t supposed to be Popeye like and when that first CG movie came out I was like what is all this. More accustomed to it now now but I still kind of feel that way. I much prefer the PS1 character models than the new ones. Although, yes, the new ones are clearly better.

Rikzilla Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 New FFVII looks gorgeous, but I’m not sure about the gameplay style, it seems so different to the original it may as well be a completely different game. I hope it doesn’t suck, but if it does it doesn’t matter. The original isn’t going anywhere and I can play it on pretty much any system I own anywhere I want.

one-armed dwarf Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I think completely different is the way to go. I think VII isn't like re2 where it's easy to imagine the older game but made new. I'm excited for the fighting if it ends up being like KH, but "heavier" or whatever. What I still don't like is the thing where they are splitting it up. If the choice is between a heavily truncated, linear but complete remake or The Hobbit Trilogy style of being broken up into parts to cram every single thing in then I'd prefer the former. I think people will be disappointed that this won't be the big deal game that the first one was but there's nothing wrong with a solid 8/10 arpg either.

Bob Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 With it being so long since the last bit of news I thought maybe they were going to come out with one of those Crash/Spyro style remakes where it is the same game but with big boy graphics. Glad they are going with a more thorough remake still. I think old FFVII still plays fine. There haven't been that many leaps in the style of traditional turn based JRPGs so if you can get past the fucky 3D movement on the field the game doesn't feel old. Just looks old. So I'm excited to see a new interpretation of my favourite game, if it sucks it sucks. Like Rik said, the original is still there along with Tifa's huge rack.

Also, Barrat looks like what I image Wesley Snipes would look like playing Blade now. 1 hour ago, Jimbo Xiii said: Why does Barret look like and sound like a fat Wesley Snipes in Blade? I was really running with this Wesley snipes thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-armed dwarf Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I'm betting on a January 2020 release on this, feels about right with how they are messaging it now still as a PS4 title. Also I don't suppose they even leave Midgard in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCH Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Still not interested. I don't like the switch to Action RPG. I didn't like it in FF13, or beyond, and I still don't. Graphics look nice, I guess. But ultimately, the "episodic" nature of this remake, is a deal breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I think episodic is a really anti-RPG way to release an RPG but I think FF7 is an easy game to chop up. First part is Midgar. Seems simple. 2nd part takes you through that Tifa’s childhood town, go to Cosmo Canyon than up to where Aeris dies. Then you skip the entire 3rd act. Same time Aeris dies, jump straight to putting Cloud in the Lifestream play most of the 3rd act without him, the team hit ups a few memorable hotspots on the west side of the map while looking for him, they find him, big reunion back to Midgar, beat Sephiroth. Easy. At the end of 2020release GotY edition with all episodes included like one big game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maf Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 I’ve been saying way before they even announced this game was getting remade but it’s not a game you can gussy up and put back out there. They know that, that’s why they’re doing this. You need to re-edit the whole thing. Particularly the 3rd act that does often delve into random, but typical for the genre, JRPG nonsense that doesn’t really fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Depends how much they charge, but I can see each episode being £20/25 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 These are being treated as full fledged games, they've likened it to the way FFXIII was made as a trilogy I think. So they'll be 60£ or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 Do we know for sure it's still gonna be episodic? It's just that was years and a couple of developers ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaggletooth Posted May 11, 2019 Share Posted May 11, 2019 As long as it still gives you the freedom to wander the world, I always liked venturing back to other parts of the map after I had moved on, I can imagine them putting different parts of the world in different episodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
