Final Fantasy VII Remake Megathread - Intergrade, Rebirth, Reunion and more

[Launchpad]

I am saddened that they've decided to advertise the game the way they have. I don't know how long it's going to take for SE to realize that an action game where enemies eat hits without physically reacting is unacceptable. It's a shame, too, because they could make the assets, music, story, and atmosphere amazing. But none of it will really amount to much if the combat is as unsatisfying and XV-like as this trailer has it look.

There really is no way around it. If you want to make an action game, you have to give players visual feedback for hitting foes. They may change it later, but right now, they're totally fine with advertising a game where enemies sponge your gigantic sword attacks, and that's a bad thing

Does anyone know if Cait Sith will be in this game?

Does anyone know if Cait Sith will be in this game?

He’s pretty important, so I highly doubt they would cut him.

 

[Perkilator]

Inb4 it turns out Riku is voicing Cloud. Seriously, that’s the vibe I got from him.

Kinda sounded a little bit of David Gallagher, sounded slightly Ray Chase-ish. But I think it's most likely Steve just giving a different performance than usual. (I hope)

Does anyone know if Cait Sith will be in this game?

I believe they've said that no character will be optional, so yes. Now whether he'd be in Part 1 or not... That depends on where it leaves off.

 

[Scorseselover]

I hope Cloud will have a comedic reaction to being cross dressed. The original was pretty funny although Cloud’s reaction was like a casual “wait...what?” I hope here the entire scenario will be a bit more comedic.

 

[Unusual1290]

Steve Burton just mentioned in an interview back in December that he’s coming back for this game... Maybe someone should try to get his attention on twitter and ask him

 

[shuyin_zer0]

Barret’s AC VA confirmed via twitter that he’s been recast. Might actually be true for the rest :/

Re: Cast FINAL FANTASY VII Remake

sorry

Which I personally think is a dumb decision, because all of the VAs seemed like they were more than willing to come back. Oh well, we'll have to see what happens, but that sucks.

Aerith's face needs to be of absolute devilish glee.

Well this sucks and now I'm very concerned the others won't be back. Characters are their voices. They cannot just be replaced without receiving major backlash. There's needs to be sound reasoning for the change like they're dead or murdered someone. If it turns out everyone is getting new voices because "it's a remake, so like, they should have different voices or something" then I honestly don't know if I'd support the game on the basis they're not truly the characters I've been waiting to see. That might be considered extreme for some but I take this very seriously. lol

 

[Ballad of Caius]

Although I don't support the recast, there may be an economic decision behind this. Also, aren't FFVII VAs unionized? So those type of changes can't be easily made?

 

[Recon]

I’m so thirsty for news. Like holy fuck I need this so bad. I haven’t felt this since KH3 and MHW.

I know Square revealed this game years ago, but with Square's new policy of marketing games in a reasonable amount of time before their release, I'm willing to bet that the game is coming in FFVII's anniversary.

 

[Chaser]

Journalists are talking about having played / know people who have played the demo, no doubt because it’s judges week. Hopefully, unlike KH3 and Disney being protective, Square will publicly release this trailer.

Very excited for June.

The unconfirmed, most likely fake, spoilers are flaring up!

Spoiler Show

From El Segundo SE branch.



This will not have ALL the information as this is a publishing /localization branch and as the Shibuya Division 1 will have the most info, but will share what there is. This is for PART 1 in no particular order.





-Game is in fact 2 parts. Part 1 ends exactly as Aerith is let down into the water after her death and a fade to black.



-Materia is shown in ALMOST all weapons. They do not appear in accessories nor do accessories appear on your character model. Different weapons will however appear on your model for example Rune Blade will be on Cloud's back if equipped and exploring.



-Different weapons have different triangle heavy hits (does not cost an ATB charge) Buster Sword has Punisher Rune Blade for for example has Cleave. You use these heavy hits after a string of regular hits. Regular hits are chip damage and the main damage will be from heavy combo finishers and the of course the massive LIMIT BREAKs.



-Using Magic will consume ATB along with MP. You get more bars as the game progresses.



-Summons will work for the most part as cut scenes like the original, they do not fight with you on the field. There is 1 new Summon Amarok and appears to be a wolf and causes darkness in addition to damage.



-Over-world map is almost seamless. There are some "zones." There will be roads and methods of transportation. It is open world. Vehicles like the Tiny Bronco work almost exactly the same only being able to go in lighter water. There will be items available occasionally on the field. Chocobos will of course be obtainable after the farm.



-They have really made an effort to make each town feel lived in, and feel like there is a reason why each place is like the way it is. Each town is very unique from the last. Cosmo Canyon iand its occasional dust storms are a stark contract to the streets of Midgar. Upper Junon feels very much more like a military installation than Midgar as well.



-Sephiroth is very limited in what is shown of him until the Kalm flashback. Before this you only hear his voice or see glimpses of him during Clouds breakdowns.



-The HP shown during the state of play is not indicative of what their HP should/would be normally during those times. Simply for Dev showcasing.



-There will be demos on the game floor with PSN demo following shortly after for people at home directly after E3.(Playstation Plus required)



-Monster redesigns for a lot of the enemies but most will remain recognizable. Some do not make an appearance. For example there was no ghost enemies in the train yard.



-Shin-ra HQ wont have quite as many floors to explore but MORE to do on the floors you do go to so it still feels like your fighting through a lot to get to the top.



-The design for Tifa is also true to the original outfit, her face appears to be mostly similar to her Advent Children design but slightly more western. Materia also shows up on her gloves.



-Cait Sith seems to be pronounced "Ket" Sith but has undergone no major design overhaul. His fighting style is more close up, and does have his BARS for a LIMIT BREAK.



-Golden Saucer will have some games that are not playable(yet) because they are essentially replaying a part of a later story mission. Some will be playable right when you arrive. They want it to feel more grand and provide a break from the main story beats while still eventually having to incorporate the story into it later.



-Red XIII has clones Cobalt XIV and Indigo XV you must fight before he joins your party in Shin-ra HQ



-Cid does not appear to be smoking but you see evidence that he does. He is clearly upset with Shera but toned down the aggressiveness as they felt it was unnecessary.



-Yuffie and Vincent are no longer optional. You can miss them up until a certain point where they then become mandatory to get. You automatically get Yuffie if you have not gotten her before Rocket Town for example.



-Cloud will have a dress and wig in one particular scene. But its fade to black getting in/out of it.



-Honey Bee in requires GIL to get into instead of a membership card.



-Squatting mini-game returns.



-As these are FULL games each will be in fact priced at 59.99 USD



-Signals have gone out to retailers to prepare for pre-orders.

 

[KingdomKey]

That's twice now, how I've heard about the game being split into two parts and stopping where that happens in the water. I'm totally down for it. As for the cross dress scene, I'm actually surprised they'd let us see Cloud cross dressing. Even if it's not like full exposure, but it reminds me about the game going black during it in the original too. So it makes sense.

Can it be June yet?

 

[Recon]

Wait -.- I’m confused on the wording of the second to last point. It’s $60 for two parts or $60 for each episode.

$60 for each part is what they were getting at. They didn't use proper grammar so some parts are like "what do you mean?"

Ah I see. Thanks for the clarification. $120 for the full game rip wallet (if true)
