Final Fantasy VII REMAKE - General News Thread

Re-announcing a highly-anticipated title in a 10 minute streaming presentation in the middle of May seems strange. But SE has their FY report out soon, and I'm sure investors want to know what that anticipated bump in revenue is coming from.

Why? Sony won't be at E3 and FF7R was announced as a PS4 timed exclusive.

I still think they'll keep the meat for E3 but a little trailer / teaser during the state of play doesn't seem strange at all.

And Hashimoto just tweeted about the State of Play again...

"Oh, Oh, it's coming, it's coming/ Oh, Oh, it's here it's here"

It looks pretty, Cloud sword swing animation didnt look as good as the PSX'15 trailer.

Also that tweet

seems to show that Square Enix already has a exact plan when they will show the next trailer/info.
Perhaps also a release date.

Everyone Is Here! (except for the gooch)

People on the resetera thread still complaning that its an action rpg, like we've known that it was since the trailer 3 years ago it isn't new. It also is not XV combat looks more like a take on KH combat if anything.

Materia in the materia slot of Buster Sword.

Slick trailer! Looks like a mix of Crisis Core and Dissidia in a way.

Looking forward to June.

Eh - didn't the flower scene in the original have some sort of choice associated with it that affected the Gold Saucer date? Because I always chose Tifa.

Combat looks like it has elements of different SE ARPGs, I can see part of Type-0, CC, Dissidia, KH and XV in it.

Also LMAO at people going "b-but you just hold in XV so will 7R be that", not realizing you can tap to attack.

In their defense, XV tutorial does a poor job at telling you that, because it never says you can do that (only mentions holding).

I can't be the only one who didn't know the combat in XV was usable by holding down circle at first and just played the whole game through by tapping the attack button like I normally would in any other action game, right? Was honestly shocked to learn that it was "hold to attack" when I went on forums later because tapping circle to attack didn't hinder the combat at all which is why I thought it was how it was intended to be played and I think my misunderstanding led to me having a far more enjoyable experience, gameplay wise, because of it. I think people meme the "hold circle to attack" thing too much when you have the option of playing it by tapping.

Anyways FFVIIR's combat quite clearly seems to be replicating KH's combat with a bit of tweaks custom tailored to FF so idk where the fear of it "being like XV" is coming from.

FFVIIR's graphics have come a looooooong way since 2015!

I think the only thing I'm unhappy about at this point is the change in voice actors. Seriously, I thought Squenix was supposed to be good about retaining their voice actors. =/

Ok that was really cool

I especially liked Aeris slighty changed design compared to the movie.

a new FF to talk about is always cool.
