IT'S FINALLY FUCKING HAPPENING

>Final Fantasy VII Remake Coming To PlayStation 4

>The Final Fantasy VII remake will use a more modern art style for Cloud, similar to his appearance in Dissidia Final Fantasy or Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. It is being created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Final Fantasy VII.

not /vr/ but Have you even played FFXV?

It's doing unique stuff... for a game that is 10 years old. Its incubation period is remarkably evident in its gameplay. It is actually doing *zero* unique things. Not a god damn thing about it is unique. It would have been unique if it came out back 100 years ago when it was "supposed" to, but now it's an aged game championed to succeed yet doomed to fail because the world will refuse to let it die.

Dragon's Dogma and Xenoblade are already 100x more the FF than FFXV could ever hope to be. XV looks beautiful and has the most fluid running animation I have ever seen though

Like, instead of an FFVII remake, they could have already been waist deep in developing FFXVI. Hell, I don't always get sequels either. Like, instead of FFXIII-2, they could have made a new Chrono game, a new Vagrant Story, a new Parasite Eve, an original idea of some kind. IDK...

This is actually really funny to me because I literally just started playing FF7 again last night.

I don't think they'll do it justice. FF7 was lighthearted for the most part. Sure, there are serious bits, but they're going to Nip it all up and its going to become this melodramatic quest and lose the charm of the original. It wouldn't surprise me if they fucked around with the battle system and made it some kind of Kingdom Hearts style either.

>Could have made a new Chrono Game
People are speculating that there will be one, Frogs theme is in one of the intro videos, we'll have to wait for their conference. I think they'd fuck up a Chrono Game though. Chrono Cross is pretty much the definition of a bad sequel (but not necessarily a bad game)

>A new Vagrant Story
Vagrant Story would be a good one. I beat it recently and the ending is pretty open ended. Could have Ashley doing something with his new Dark powers with the what, Blood Sign? Rood Inverse or whatever. Could be interesting. I just like the world of Ivalice before it got retarded in FF12 with all the weird beast races that felt kind of out of place.

>A new Parasite Eve
3rd Birthday basically shows they have no idea wtf to do with Parasite Eve. Parasite eve is better off as a one off game, Parasite Eve 2 was kind loose in its connections and didn't really feel like a sequel.

I'd like to see a new PS4 Mana game with multiplayer just like SoM or SD3, that'd be pretty fun I think.

I have always said, that SE is going to hold out on a FF remake until they are really in a bind.

An FF7 remake, even if its shit, is almost a blank cheque.

It was easily the single most popular game of the Playstation era. Millions of people have played, and it is universally loved.

Honestly, I probably will buy it. But I have almost zero expectations of it being anywhere near as fun and magical as the original. I honestly half expect it to be some abomination of Kingdom Hearts combat, and the story to be so needlessly drama-filled and grimdark. I expect all the characters to be completely hollow and I expect flat and uninspired voice acting to complement the "new and improved" dialogue.

But right now, I'm going to continue playing FF7 and enjoy the silly parade through Junon and hopefully get myself a Force Stealer pre-North Corel.

Bullshit. The backgrounds are still 240p or 480p, I'm not sure. They straight up lost the original models and the original renderings ages ago.

Some of the work on FF9 was out sourced, and a few of the artists kept the original backgrounds at the original high resolutions, but that's it. Square themselves lost their material. Game companies did not think ahead.

>> No.2474402

>>2474351

I think their problem has less to do with the stories and more to due with the design paradigm that the writers are restricted to. Every plot in SE's games is about some global/multiverse calamity with an big bad villain and a party of heroes. You can only do so much with those ideas before they become stale. Maybe it would be better if they cut out most of the storytelling and character development and focus on the gameplay.

They are 240p, and the native resolution for the PC version is 320x240. Even though it always had the 640x480 option, the backgrounds were pixelated and stretched even in that.

I know all we have is a short trailer, but the tone and overall look of what we've seen thus far screams "edgy remake in the image and tone of AC", which I seriously, seriously fear it will be.

Like, is it me or do most FFVII fanboys have a crazy selective memory of what the game was actually like? It's like all they remember is the dark and serious scenes like the FMV of Sephiroth walking into the fire or whatever. Certainly feels like AC was created specifically to appease that crowd. And now this remake is yet again pandering to that edgy subset of the fanbase who claim they like the game, but can't stand the lego characters and lack of voice acting.

Also, I recall there being an interview some years ago where they actually said some of the things they put in the game back then would not fly nowadays, and some stuff like the whole Honeybee Inn would probably be removed. This is what we're dealing with here.

We're gonna get retcons. There's a massive change in art style. It follows Advent Children's designs. It ditches the anime look of the original games. The game likely will use FF15's engine and battle system. So it will feel like an elaborate FF15 mod. People will either like that or dislike that.

I agree, and they are both also exactly the kind of thing that FFXV is trying to do, except FFXV (demo) is more boring.

The gameplay for FFXV so far is "hold square to run, point control stick towards pack of enemies, continue to hold square because square is also the attack button, and then keep holding square throughout the battle while your character performs (beautifully fluid) attacks that you have zero control over"

It's seriously just a worse Dragon's Dogma or Xenoblade. It would have been cool 10 years ago when it was announced, but at this point it really needs something else besides the FF name to carry it.

heh.

I was saying just this in a /v/ thread a while ago, where I judged the gameplay would play exactly like that based on the videos. That you would feel like you really have zero control over your character and the game kind of plays itself. They said I was full of it, and that I couldn't judge a game based on video alone.

Yeah, pretty much. I was so excited for the demo but I have no hope for FFXV anymore. I expect it to be a western RPG fan's wet dream of Final Fantasy and not in a good way.

The gameplay really is just "hold square while you do pretty looking things". It's a crime to have assigned run and attack to the same fucking button.

You equip 1 weapon to each different "type" of attack like "starter", "finisher", etc. And that sounds awesome and it sounds like you have lots of control, but you don't. The attacks all go in sequence and you don't have any control over it, you just hold square. The only thing you can really do is force the "starter" attack over and over again by pressing square once, waiting a second, then pressing it once again. Besides that, everything performs in sequence while you just fucking hold square the whole game. It goes "starter", cycles through the other attacks while you just sit hold square and watch, and then when the enemy has 15% hp or so it forces you to perform ther "finisher"

It's really really lame, and for a game that has been in development I expected more... but then again, the antiquated gameplay is actually fitting and shows what was "cutting edge" at the time of FFXV's inception.

I swear to god they have thrown 80% of their budget towards the running animation. All the animations really are gorgeous. The jump animation in the demo sucks ass though, but because every other animation is amazing I'm pretty sure they'll fix the jump one

I don't think story telling has that much of a limit. Especially since they were consistently knocking shit out of the park for so long.

FF1 had the stable time loop, FF2 had the Emperor dying and conquering hell as well as a different style of darker crap-sack world narrative, FF4 was more of a traditional story with a sudden departure near the end(THE MOON!), FF5 was FF5, FF6 had two worlds and the Villain winning, FF7 BEST GAME ALL TIME, FF8 was... well, it hit the mark for different whether you love it or hate it. FF9 was a strong traditional number, 10 was a strong different twist.

12 imo fell apart really bad, I beat the whole game and it took until near the end to feel that any of the characters had any stake in what was happening at all. Haven't tried 13.

There's always room to focus the narrative or fine-tune the setting. I always thought FF7 might've been a real hoot if the majority of the game took place in or around Midgar, but that was back when it first came out and it blew my young mind how big the city seemed. I thought we'd go through all eight sectors and shit. The actual game was pretty good too.

Totally agree. Look how poorly received all three XIII games were; the usual praise is something along the lines of "it could be worse" or "not as bad as the last one". They have no idea what a good or fun JRPG is at all, only that it needs to have the best graphics possible.

I think it would be difficult for Square at their best to be able to pull off what you guys mentioned (comical/light hearted scenes and moments with realistic models and voice actors)

I always wanted a FF7 remake because I feel the graphics are bad enough to warrant it (I obviously dont mind bad graphics but I mind it when it gets in the way of gameplay... Ive missed a lot of things thanks to the graphics) but I also believe true classics dont need a remake.

I guess I'll just play that cleaned up PC port.

FF VII is one of my favourite games, but I'm in two minds about a remake rather than a new game. Careful what you wish for... the novelty of sparkly new graphics will quickly wear off.

Games are designed around the technological limitations of the time. If they just update the graphics and leave the gameplay unchanged it just feels wrong to me. It's like those tablet FFs where the sprites stand out from the backgrounds, it's better but also somehow wrong.

What I would like to see is a new game that develops the materia system even further, tries to avoid grinding, awesome AI, makes the FF world seem real (things like npcs going about their life rather being there to serve you) etc.

I hope they do FF7 justice, but I am not hopeful

I'm surprised to be honest. I expected more people to be against this shit here on /vr/.

Personally, although I'd love to be able to delude myself and believe the opposite, this remake has all the signs pointing against it.

First off there is Nomura directing, which is terrible since he has shown to be completely unable to do something right if he doesn't have someone making tabs on him like when Sakaguchi was still producing at Squaresoft.

Second, I don't really feel like searching for a source, but countless times he has mentioned how "different" he would have done things in games like FF7 or FF8 if he had full director's duties and, if we take a look at the projects he directed then we will see a pretty grim situation.

There is no need to name drop autistic shit like Kingdom Hearts here, is enough to look at how they already raped FF7 with things like Advent Children and Crisis Core. With CC is even sadder because the game itself is fine, they just fucked up in one thing: the story. They fucked up the one thing they already established in the original game because they wanted to retcon characters like Genesis into the main cannon and it ended up making no fucking sense.

Won't bother about Nojima and Kitase. Like Nomura they have shown that, at last in FF7 related projects, they have lost it.

tl;dr do you remember all the kids who played KH, watched AC and loved edgy Cloud? all the people who "loves" FF7 but actually never played it because "shit graphx"? This remake is for them, and for them only. I hope I'm mistaken and when SE starts showing off gameplay and stuff it looks wonderful and faithful to the original material, without any Genesis nonsense and "cool&epic" changes for the modern audience, but I know it just wont happen.

Not like square does that shit properly anyway, its literally just grind until you can faceroll them to death.

Crisis Core is really good overall. Some lame fuck ups here and there but solid... until the end that's it, then it goes all out and retcons, contradicts, changes and adds a load of shit to the original game that, like with DoC's plot, makes not fucking sense.

Of course, they're gonna fuck this up. It's modern Square Enix. Not to mention that Nomura's name being attached to this project doesn't exactly give me any hope. This whole thing can only go 2 ways.

Either the hardcore 7 fans delude themselves that it's just as perfect as the original. The game sells well and Square goes back to what they do now or God forbid they make 5 more 7 sequels.

Or the fans create the biggest FF shitstorm ever for the defilement of their precious 7, which hopefully makes Square Enix go bankrupt (realistically they won't because Murphy.)

How much are you willing to bet they'll fill it up with DLC and pointless microtransactions? Their track record with stuff like 7's Steam version and All the Bravest certainly points in that direction.

No, no, filtering just an effect you apply after you scale the images up/down. They just wrote shitty code that didn't resize or align the images properly. The size of the tiles didn't scale in exact proportion to the scaled-up positions of the tiles, which can happen when you use only integers to do calculations. It's a newbie app developer mistake.

FF7 is actually not really just mash O to win.

Theres a lot of materia customizations you can do (Cover+CounterAttack is fairly early, Elemental+Armor for resistances/weakness exploit, Added Effect-Status for resistance/weakness exploits) , theres a lot of gear and spell combinations (Like casting Death-Sentence on Tifa with Powersoul for damage multipliers). Its actually solid all around and you will almost always preform better with smart setups and utilizing magic and summons then just mashing attack. Although attack is quite powerful.

I will admit that outside of a handful of bosses that require special tactics, FF7 is pretty easy, but thats not a bad thing. Do you want to have to fucking grind for hours like in Breath of Fire or Legend of Dragoon, or Legend of Legaia? I don't enjoy being forced to grind just to be able to stand a chance at a difficult boss, but thats pretty much what you have to do in the above. As long as you're fighting enemies as they come in any Final Fantasy you're almost always well equipped to take on the games challenges.

Well, I think someone on some forum tested this. You can get pretty far in disk 1 by just mashing attack and limits. It is kinda easy.

this is a good post and i can almost fully get behind it.

the things that made me like this game, warts and all, are the things no modern remake can replicate. the relative goofiness of the prerendered backgrounds illustrating a somewhat earnest and serious story played out by superdeformed characters. i know the music gets shit on for its technical qualities, but i digged the sound textures the less-then-stellar knowledge of the sound chip produced.

there's a bunch of shit you can criticize the game for (and personally i'm giving it a 7/10), but as a product of its time it's precious. a remake doesn't have that advantage, and imagining nomura's ps3+ generation flesh puppets acting out a final fantasy 7 story played straight... ugh.

I liked AC when it came out because it was cool. I didn't give a shit about the story because its 90% fight scenes anyways. I couldn't even tell you what the story was anyways, something about people getting Mako poisoning or something which I don't even remember if it gets resolved or not.

Fact is, as a popcorn-eye candy flick to someone who was a fan of videogames it was alright. I agree that the shit that came out of it like CC and the "new" FF7 retconned lore is dumb as fuck, but AC is alright if you just wanted some eye candy.

I have high hopes, but low expectations for the new FF7. FF7 is pretty ridiculous all throughout but I think pacing wise its actually fucking spot on. You don't have endless dungeons and require dozens of level ups to get through.

See how far you get at a boss like Schizo with Cure-All on someone and just attacking.

The great thing about FF7 is it gives you a lot of tools that are really general purpose. Elemental Materia can let you exploit weaknesses OR if you put it in armor, give you really high resistances. The command materia (especially Enemy skill) are very strong with things like Mug, and Deathblow.

As I'm replaying the most fun I've had so far is this setup:

Tifa with Powersoul weapon.
She has a shitload of HP Plus so she's got a reasonable amount of hp, but she stays in yellow which gives her a damage multiplier because of Powersoul.
Cast Death Sentence on her.
Use Big Guard immediately after to get Haste.
Deathblow Materia paired with Added Cut.

At fairly low level I was doing 8000 damage from a connected deathblow with a 4000 damage extra hit from the added cut.

I basically 3 shot Jenova-Death this way.

I just got the Cursed ring, which gives a shitload of stats and starts you with Death Sentence so she should be even more powerful. Of course I can't use her until Cloud becomes unretarded which should happen sometime tonight.

As I said, people are guaranteed to be upset. I really think it's going to be a huge shame if they go with action combat. Even FFXII or XIII like combat won't be suitable imo. I think they really should keep it mostly the same only enhanced a bit.

It's going to be a very tough remake to do regardless. It's not as simple as say remaking Halo CE or a 2D Metroid game. FFVII is probably going to be the toughest remake to get right that this industry is ever going to see. So many people they must please. So much they can get wrong. At the very least this is going to be extremely entertaining to see it's development unfold.

>> No.2478841

>>2478834
>FF6 deserved it more
I think FF6 isn't that impressive honestly.

About the only thing it did was the World of Balance vs. World of Ruin (which FF5 did before it) and having a shitload of characters (most of which, were pretty shit). Magicite was interesting, but it ended up being a shitty version of Materia and you still had to rely on individual characters abilities (which, when paired with what I said earlier, where most characters abilities were pretty shit (outside of a few standouts like Tools, Blitz, Mime (for tools and blitz)) combined with the fact you're constantly forced to use a very assigned party for most of the game and its just very meh.

FF5 had more customization because it had a set party and way more options that you could level on each character simultaneously unlike FF6. FF4 didn't mess around with any of that and just gave everyone their own skillsets. FF7 basically took the good from all of them and made skills 100% transferable so when you were forced to use Barret, Red XIII, Aeris, and Cid, you weren't completely crippled if they werent in your main party. Which is really fucking good, especially when you're forced to use different party members at fairly regular intervals. The same goes for FF8, but people just didn't "get" Junction, I guess because it wasn't pretty marbles in holes or something.

FF7 battles can be finished in one casting of Aqualung or Trine in most cases.

If you're smart in battles they can end in 1-3 or less turns per character. Including some boss fights, which when you know about broken strategies can go from fairly long and tedious to near OHKO's.

I know this is /vr/, but you'd expect people to put a check on how much nostalgia clouds their judgment. Thinking Nomura is the worst thing to happen is flat out retarded. His primary role for a huge part of the franchise was a monster and character designer. His biggest contribution before he was given the opportunity to direct XV(which was originally a spinoff, not even mainline) was slight story direction, where he chimed in and said the best character to kill would be Aerith.

I don't get why people dislike FF13s battle system, its basically the same ATB system but the characters move around to make it more fluid and believable.

I guess people hate it because the game auto selects your attacks based on enemy weaknesses? The thing was that 13s battle system was largely more about managing the paradigms and not simply inputting commands, as with the pace of the game doing both would be overwhelming.

I can kind of see why people dislike 12s battle system, though I liked it, it has a lot in common with FFXIs style of combat, and being an MMO that probably turned some people off. Plus some people saw the gambits as making the game play itself, which is untrue, but whatever I guess...no one said shit about dragon age origin despite basically stealing the gambit system 1:1.

Anyways, If they stayed with the original battle system I would be fine with it, but if they wanted to add in a modern FF battle system I would at least be open minded about it going in.

I always thought the materia system was the best thing I seen in a JRPG. It provided for a very open way to play the game. A remake can potentially refine this system into something far greater. Which I think should happen just so people can get the chance to experience it.

I think if they made more materia setups, maybe let you buy additional materia of certain times (like one of a kind materia via some expensive vender or something at the gold saucer)

Considering to master a Deathblow you needed like 60k AP (which takes a long ass time) to get another one you basically have to master one before getting the next one. Steal takes forever to master, and same with shit that could be really genuinely helpful like AddedEffect, Elemental, Added-Cut, 2x-Cut, SlashAll, are all huge investments.

and I really mean Huge Investments. When you can beat the game fairly easily with certain setups, having all your characters with 4x cut or Added-Cut setups is massively overkill.

I just beat it yesterday and it was the easiest I've ever done it.

Barret Uses Big Guard every fight and becomes dedicated healer.
Cloud with 9999 HP via HP+'s and Ultima Weapon with 2x cut.
Tifa with Added Cut-Deathblow Masterfist while under Death Sentence status from Cursed Ring, and Cover-Counter Attack from back row with Long Range.

My 5 year old daughter beat FF13. Not in that "hyperbole on 4chan" sort of way, but in the "she really beat the game with only one death" sort of way. Death was on the last boss.

I did have to show her where to spend level points and where to set paradigms, but that was it. The game was devoid of travel choice until Grand Pulse. Devoid of equipment, leveling, and attack option choice throughout. And really the only choice to be had was "Be defensive and recover" vs "Be offensive and hurt them". The paradigms fell into these two buckets, and it never really mattered which was chosen. It was all window dressing.

I beat a lot of hard shit as a kid, I mean, growing up in the NES / SNES era was filled with way more difficult games than FF13.

The trouble with believing your story isn't that a 5 year old could beat FF13, rather that she would have the attention span for a game that long.

>> No.2483571

>>2483024
No doubt your 5 year old beat the game. I wanted to call bullshit, but then I remembered that I beat the original Final Fantasy even before I was 5, so it's probably true especially if someone showeed her how to chrystarium or did it for her. I do call bullshit on the one death though. The game lets you restart the fight immediately so whatever it doesn't matter, but some of the (are they called aeons in that game?) fights are unintuitive and not something I'd expect a 5 year old to figure out on the first try every single time. Not only that, but some of those require setups that you may not have the first time you go into the fight.

That said, the game *is* challenging if you don't chrystarium. No jrpg is hard with appropriate leveling.


>>2483043
>is FF13 worth playing?
If you can find an undub and then you disable the subtitles, fuck yes. If not, it's still ok if you don't level up. The story is probably the worst bullshit FF has ever come up with. Also, do not level up chrystarium at all. (Chrystarium lets you spend experience points you earn in battle, and if you don't spend them you never level up.) If you encounter a boss that you simply cannot beat after several tries and paradigms configurations, level up a tiny bit and try again, but really really try not to level up. You shouldn't need to level up at all until about halfway through the game.

This forces you to actually think about your paradigms and it forces you to use characters that you otherwise might not use because the default level characters have different abilities and roles that the other ones don't have. A no-level up (or as little level up as possible) run is very fun and it showcases just how good the battle system really is.

Otherwise, if you always spend all of your points or grind and play with the english dialogue and are able to understand the story it turns into a boring hallway snooze fest with intermittent pausing while the game shows you monsters and you press confirm

I was a bit surprised as well with that point, but there were two things working for her. She really liked Lightning, and I sat behind her from start to end that week. Never underestimate the power of daddy time. What's odd is, after the menu explanation, she never asked for advice until the last boss. There just wasn't choice anywhere in the game.

I got her on gaming as soon as she could hold a controller, so this wasn't babby's first game. Still though. All that talk of complex combat depth or difficulty doesn't hold water. She just played it reactive with "go defensive because your hurt while mashing auto" to "go offensive because your not hurt while mashing auto". Yeah, some fights were long with her in Solidarity or whatever it was called, but that only became a problem on the final boss when it did some sort of full party death.

I expect the slap fight with scarlet is going to just be a 1v1 boss fight in the remake.

Everything that is too close to the FF1-6 wackiness will just be removed, and they will just keep in the meme sequences like the cross dressing, even though nearly everything in the game is iconic, its just too goofy for realistic graphics.

Won't see palmer getting run over by a random ass truck driving into a fenced in backyard with no warning, cid will probably become an SJW, shit they will probably even take out the implied bestiality of red XIIIs intro.

I mean the remake is probably going to be half the game the original is only because of all the content they will have to cut so its less fucking absurd, and I'm not sure what they will replace it with.

Am I the only one not excited at all for this?

Part of the appeal of FF7 for me was the retro graphics and music. I played it for the first time in 2011 and it gave me a ton of nostalgia for no apparent reason. I think the graphics reminded me of Little big adventure, my favorite childhood game.

>> No.2484971

>>2484949

Well FF7 is probably the last game designed with the SNES FF games as a basis, maybe that's why it feels so nostalgic.

Though I hear the game had a conflict on the design team, hence why the chibi field sprites exist, and battle models look more realistic.

Personally I love the low poly look of it though, feels comfy.

Cross dressing is confirmed you little nigger.

I imagine they're going to retool the battle system, and probably add more content related to Clouds backstory with Zack and probably tie in Genysis or whoever the fuck from Crisis Core. More in depth stuff about Sephiroth.

I expect an entirely different experience with the same over all plot. If they made it exactly the same, with the standard JRPG stuff I dont know how I'd feel about it. I actually want something different gameplay wise. I can always pop in and enjoy FF7, but if this is really good, maybe I pop it in instead from time to time.

My main thought about all of this isn't on the game, I'll end up getting it for pc and trying it one way or another.

No, I'm looking forward to all the sexy cosplay, the rush of rule 34, the possible merchandizing of things. I will gladly buy some totally-not-amibo materia for shits n giggles.

VI aged much better and doesn't need a remake at all, it'd be absolutely pointless. That doesn't stop me from wanting V and VI given the IV DS treatment however on 3DS a la Anthology.

Plus, there are so many subtleties and open-ended side-story in VI that Square is absolutely sure to fuck up the story or characters somehow. I feel really bad for FF7 fans because their game's story is bound to be utterly destroyed so that the game can be "updated."
