Added the video they showed, it's legit. Feels like this might be the best E3 conference of all time.

Just love how they refuse to believe it until the word Remake comes up.

YOU MANIACS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING. MIDGAR LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE THAT WHAT ARE YOU DOING

drave 06-16-2015 06:04 AM

They did a damn good job at keeping it hush hush, that's for damn sure. I know after the "trolling" they did announcing the PC re-launch there was little to no hope it would ever happen.

I am absolutely not going to be able to concentrate after reading/watching what has happened.

There is nothing Nintendo can do to make me care.

These days, HD remakes are pretty common! They usually are the same games, but with spiffy new graphics and, often, optional and updated controls. The big question is whether or not this is a straight-up remake. From what Nomura says, it’s not.

“I can’t get go into details,” Nomura said, “but this is not a simple remake. Let’s say for argument’s sake that we only pretty up the graphics for current gen hardware, I don’t think that would surpass the original version.”

(Note: Here Nomura actually said “next gen hardware,” but he is referring to the current gen.)

The Final Fantasy VII Remake Won't Be Exactly the Same

It seems that if the game only featured better graphics, then the difference between this remake and the upscaled port would merely be cosmetic.

“The original version is a game that came out in 1997, and if you look at it today, you can feel how dated the graphics and the game system are,” Nomura told Famitsu. “However, that’s also part of Final Fantasy VII.” Nomura added that even today, the game continues to get support and that is unlikely to change.

However, it sounds like like the remake will feature evolved gameplay. Again, here’s Nomura:

“We haven’t shown any gameplay yet, but since we’re updating them quite a bit, please look forward to that,” Square Enix’s Tetsuya Nomura told Dengeki Online. (Note: The word Nomura used, 進化 or “shinka,” can also mean “evolution” or “progress.” He didn’t say 変化 or “henka,” which means “change” or “variation.”)

For a title like this, even if you only redo the graphics, I don’t think you get something that’s exciting.”

So, what does that mean?

“Since we now formally revealed Kazushige Nojima’s name for the scenario, there will be more plot devices in the story, so I think you can also look forward to that.”

Ah, perhaps maybe they’ll be adding to the story, fleshing certain parts out or adding more backstory? That I can see making this more than a simple high-def remake with pretty graphics. I hope this doesn’t mean certain parts of the original story, however, will be written out...

“So,” Nomura told Famitsu, “if you are going to do a full remake, you have to take a different approach and make something that suits the times.”

According to Nomura, Square Enix is planning to reveal more about this remake later this winter—at the very least, the game’s formal title. So, yes, yes, look forward to that, too. Expect it.

Overflowing right now actually.

Drakul 07-08-2015 11:38 AM

I'll play it when it comes out for Xbox One, assuming something motivates me to actually buy an Xbox One.

If they change anything about the story, my first thought is that they'll cut the crossdressing segment for a bunch of reasons. It'll still happen in the story but we'll play as someone else, elsewhere, as it happens as part of a fleshing out of other characters.

road doggy dogg 07-08-2015 12:11 PM

Didn't they specifically state that the crossdressing thing will remain in the game

it definitely won't... also wouldn't be surprised if world map exploration/chocobo riding is completely "axed"

I could've sworn I read a tweet or quote somewhere from S-E where someone asked about it and they said it was... maybe I'm making this up. Could be.

Said console debut on PSX too yeah. So it'll probably be on PS4 for 6 months to a year then get an XBox version out. Seems to be the usual agreement.

road doggy dogg 12-05-2015 08:49 PM

PC at all?

Maybe, Square are a bit unpredictable with PC releases. At one point they were just doing mobile ports of FF to Steam. Then they did Type 0 out of nowhere, but it doesn't have the FF XV demo and this remake looks to be made in the same engine.

Now Dragon Quest Heroes is on Steam which is fucking weird.

#BROKEN Hasney 12-06-2015 05:48 AM

Might be people reading to much into it, but this makes sense to me. Cloud in Smash might mean it comes to the Nintendo NX too, whatever the fuck that thing is.

#BROKEN Hasney 12-06-2015 10:03 AM

Looks like the Final Fantasy X/X-2 remaster is coming to Steam as well, so I'd pretty much say now that Square will be shoving all Final Fantasy onto PC at some point.

Ultra Mantis 12-06-2015 11:07 PM

Reports are coming in that the remake will actually be released in an episodic format, as made popular by Telltale.

Slow clap for Square Enix. Fucking hell.

#BROKEN Hasney 12-07-2015 03:24 AM

It's happening and I'm fine with that based on this interview where they talk about the game having just as much content as the original:

Quote:

-they made multi-release since they would have to cut stuff out if they made it in one game. The detail of the game will be so dense, and you will be able to go to various locations within Midgar that you couldn't go before.
-there will be some stuff that has to be cut, but there will be lots of stuff added. overall volume will be big
Quote:

A rough translation of http://dengekionline.com/elem/000/001/173/1173362/

- About the details of splitting the game into episodes, please tell us more.

Kitase: From the beginning, we have considered it impossible to remake FF7 into one single game. Althought it's impossible to tell you the details about the splitting at the moment, please wait for our further announcement.

Nomura: If we tried to stuff the whole game into one release, some part of the game would have to appear as digests. We'd have to remove some contents from the game, and it would be difficult to add more to the game. Considering that a full remake of the original game must be achived, we have decided to split the game into episodes.

Kitase: Taking the No.8 street shown in the video this time, even just this is already highly dense. If we are to remake the content of the original version at that quality, it would have been impossible to do with a single release.
If they split it into three parts, we'd be looking at 3 30 hour episodes each based on the original content and that's ignoring all the side shit to do. This way, we'll actually get to play it before 2020 as well.

Dunno about back when you first posted about it, but they have now.

Cross-dressing scene will be included. Nomura has yet to work on the design, however.

drave 12-07-2015 08:28 AM

Are they afrais of putting more than 1 disc in the box?? Calling wankness on the episodic format.

Nah, there will likely be a "complete" edition. But considering how early it was when it was shown, you would be looking at 2019 at the earliest for a game as big as this. This way, we might get the first game out by 2017 and have one a year. I'm down with that, those that aren't can wait until it's fully done.

road doggy dogg 12-07-2015 08:44 AM

I don't have much of an opinion either way, though I find the quote funny:

"Kitase: From the beginning, we have considered it impossible to remake FF7 into one single game."

It would be impossible to make a full game of this full game that came out 20 years ago!

drave 12-07-2015 08:53 AM

Exactly RDD - the premise is so absurd.

I understand that it "can't be on one disc" sure - but that is when you put in Disc 2 to continue.

#BROKEN Hasney 12-07-2015 08:54 AM

Yeah, it's obviously possible, but could be a mis-translation. What he means is a game of this size and scope isn't financially viable as a single release anymore.

Stuff like GTA, Witcher and Fallout are massive and expensive to produce while re-using assets all of the joint. Something like FF7 with all the locations and enemies being so varied having to be remade with HD textures will take a fuckton of work.

I'm fully expecting at least 3 episodes and they're going to be $40 a pop at least. I pretty much expected from the start that at the very least, it would either be more expensive than the typical game or they'd just cut out a fuckton. I prefer this way of doing it compared to cutting shit out.

drave 12-07-2015 08:56 AM

I will wait for the complete edition I think. It would drive me nuts to have to wait 12 months in-between "episodes".

It normally does for me as well, always wait for episodic games to be fully out.

I'm OK with this one because I think I know how it ends.

road doggy dogg 12-07-2015 09:02 AM

Aeris' death is probably the "chilling finale" of one of the episodes... f yeah spoilers!

road doggy dogg 12-07-2015 09:02 AM

Imagine if they don't kill Aeris this time around, because it would "be cool to have her around all game"

would revolt
