Final Fantasy VII REMAKE
 

Yep. This is real. No word on release date - probably a while from now.

I wonder what it'll look like.

I'm hearing 2017 for the 20th anniversary. No matter when, I'm excited.

Makes me want to buy a PS4, and I haven't gamed in years.

so good

I play a handful of games here and there (mostly Assassin's Creed recently), but by no means would I call myself a "gamer." I'm currently on an XB360 and haven't found a reason to upgrade so far.

This could change things.

This is why I have purposely not played FFVII for the past umpteen years.
Seeing as the past couple Final Fantasies have been subpar, this is Square Enix's panic button.

I haven't played FF since 8...the rest seemed like garbage how they changed things. Can't wait till ff7 is released. Still have the original PS game w box. One of my favorites if all time

FFX was great and rivaled FFVII in my eyes.

I think FF9 is one of the best games I've ever played.

lol at saying "remake" at the end.

So Japanese, haha

Makes me not want to play.

I've never played FF7 or 9 but FFX was by far my favorite RPG. Still is.

I understand the fanboy market for TBRPG is a small one but I've wondered why it's been almost universally abandoned.

I'd love to see a current gen game done with a turn based battle system like back in the mid 90's...

FF7 was my second fav to FF3.

FF3 was amazing, and I wish they would remake it.

I loved 9. It was a nice departure from 7 & 8 and I liked the return to the 4 player party.

This.

FF 2 and 3 were a staple of my childhood/youth.

Whenever I think about "Final Fantasy" I imagine this music with little stumpy characters raising their hands:

7 was the last one I really got into.

What the **** is a gun blade anyway?

I am hoping somebody I know buys this, but no way I'm devoting another 100 hours of my life to this.

One of my favorite games of all time. Might be enough to get me to do some console gaming again.

I played the Original through again a few years ago on a Nokia N900. So much fun.

20th anniversary? Now I feel old.

Final Fantasy 7 is the only one i could ever get into. I tried others (can't remember which) and they just didn't do it for me. I felt like none of them could capture the magic of FF7....but i think that has more to do with my age....i was completely in awe of that game back when i was a kid.

I want to be excited, but can it evoke the emotion of FF7? Doubt it.

7 8 and 10 were all masterful in my opinion. I'm beyond stoked for this 7 remake. I hope they don't stray to far from the original. I'm gonna be pissed if they **** with the combat system

I played one FF game and don't even remember the number. Didn't finish it either. Was a jumbled mess of a story with male characters that looked like women and a bunch of ridiculously giant swords.

I don't remember which ones I tried but there were two FF games and I could not get into either one of them. ONe of them was a multidisk game for the original PS.

Is that the one that had Blitzball? Gross.

FFX rivaled VII in that it was better than 8 and 9.

Blitzball was annoying, but what would an RPG be without some kind of annoying factor?

Final Fantasy VII REMAKE
 

FFX had characters that rivaled FFVII, in my opinion. Tidus>Cloud although Tifa (my boo), Barrett, Red XIII, Vincent Valentine, and Sephiroth>>Yuna, Auron, Kimahri, and Sin.

Better graphics and fighting system although I'll give the score to FFVII, no doubt.

The story was actually pretty cool for both. I couldn't choose which I like best but I'm leaning toward FFX.

.. And blitz ball may have been gay but you can't tell me chocobo racing wasn't some bullshit.

This.

That was pathetic.

II and III (U.S) and V (Japan) were the best.

V (Japan) was ****ing awesome. I love the "Jobs" gameplay. III was jaw-dropping when it came out.

2, 3 7, and 8. Rest idc

@FinalFantasy: Here's the Teaser Trailer for #FinalFantasy VII Remake that was introduced just now at #StateofPlay.

Most of the plans are already in place in the run up to launch, so please bear with us a little longer until we can release more information next month – Tetsuya Nomura #FF7R https://twitter.com/FinalFantasy/sta...679937/video/1

It's been a long wait, but hopefully it'll be worth it. Looks awesome.

I just hope they give us a date in June...looks spectacular. RE 2 Remake is pretty epic
...hope this is everything I can imagine and more

Gah, the dialogue is pretty cringy. Something about the speed of the lines being delivered or something.

That's cool. For a new generation. That game is old as ****. I was a teenager when it came out and the graphics would be offputting to a lot of younger people.

I mean, I won't play it. I wasted enough of my life the first time around. I mean if you can master-breed racing chocobos and unlock every secret weapon and materia, you wasted a portion of your life. Though honestly if you just get the knights of the round summoning and the omnislash limit break it's all ****ing easy after that.

I regret nothing, but i'm not going back down THAT rabbit hole.

The game that cost me my Master's Degree, along with Gran Turismo 2 and Madden 99.

That's how the original was. The integrity of the original has been kept. Deal with it. Also it's from Japan. If the dialogue wasn't cringe it would suck.

Also, IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING

I'm currently playing FFV and FFIII on emulator. It's awesome.

Yesssss

One of only two FF games I actually finished. Still loved 1 more than the others

Since Square-Enix continues to showcase the early game footage, they probably still are planning to release it in "parts".

Ugh...

If it's released in parts then I'll likely hold off on it until its fully released. #1. Not giving into that type of bullshit release schedule. If it was a choice they did for marketing, then I don't get the point of it, and if it was a decision to polish the later parts of the game, then just delay it further. Nobody was expecting it in March, you put that pressure on yourselves to have a product ready by that time. This game is something you need to take your time with and get it right, it has to be better than the Resident Evil 2 remake, which is going to take alot of love and affection. I would've been fine if they just said Holiday 2020 to arrive in line with the apparent new console generation.

FF7 Was the ONLY FF i could ever get into. Loved that game.

I tried at least 3-4 other FF's and none of them, imo, could recapture the magic that was FF7.

I grew up with ff1, 2 and 3. FF7 is my favorite behind FF2. Couldn't get into FF 8 or any after. I really hope this is well done. Supposed to be more info tonight. I wish they'd remaster them even if they were just hd port.

I have ffx and x2 remastered for PS4 but have yet to fire it up

I wish they weren't going back to the Playstation exclusive model. I don't have a PS4 and am not really all that interested. So I guess we'll see how good it looks when we get the full story.

Were any of the ones you tried FFVIII or FFX?

Need to know whether I like you anymore or not..

FFVII is the quintessential game from my childhood.

I would have been 7 or 8 when it came out and I first played it. I remember my mom bought me a Playstation and came home with a couple games as well, FFVII being one of them. Had no clue what it was and had never played an RPG before. ****ing loved it so much. To this day the music just takes me right back to being 8 years old again.

I remember I bought the game on PS2 just to replay it back in the early-mid 2000s. Bought a PS4 a few years ago and they had a port I downloaded so I could play it again. Paid like $400 for a PS4 and for the first month or so I pretty much exclusively played Final Fantasy VII lol a ****ing PS1 game

Same for me, I don't play on Console so a PC version is hopefully someday in the mix.

I played 8 and 10 for a while just never finished them.

I was in HS...I remember buying it at Sears via pre-order and got the Cloud Squaresoft shirt. The game was amazing...I think I still have the original psone disc and memory card in storage. I played that game several hundred hours to be at the top levels exploring wanting more story or if I missed something. Really hope it's epic.

I'd say that Sony is spending a hell of a lot of money to get this exclusive.

I'll wait for reviews and if it's good will get another ps4 for my bday and play it.

Or wait till the ps5 comes out which could be that fall/winter

I don't keep on the latest since I don't really have time to do this shit anymore, but I would think the PS5 is still years away? Would be odd to release part on the 4, than 5.

I barely play games anymore as it is.

I would think so too but rumors are floating that it could come late 2020. We will see...I know it is backwards compatible and rumors are the PS4 will be around awhile anyway after ps5 is released

Interesting. Thought the backwards compatibility era was dead too.

Never had a PS. Never played any PS game other than Tiger Woods. No clue what this is....

And it's now confirmed that it'll be episodic. Boo.

Apparently 8 is getting a remaster, so that's cool.

This is cool...I never beat this game but enjoyed what I played

Makes me wonder how many games we may have to purchase. Wasn't the original 3 discs? Hear this one is all midgard and haven't seen any overworked shots

I've never been able to get into that series at all. I owned 7 and still lost interest in 30 minutes.

I Love 7 and 8. So much so that the victory theme after the battles is my text notification on my phone and has been for years. The music gave me so much nostalgia...The Aerith theme and then the battle theme. Can't wait for this.

I played one FF game, I have no recollection of which one, but it was after 7, and I was just ****ing confused the entire time about the story and everyone had emo hair.

Who was hotter: Rinoa or Tifa?

I'd probably go Tifa, but that's mostly because the graphics in FF VII left a lot to the imagination.

Nostalgia triggered.

In FF7 you were allowed to re-name them. I renamed them so i've never known which is which when people reference them lol.

Tifa = Wife Beater, Big titties, punchy punch

Rinoa = Blue tank-top dress thingy, good size titties, wings, magic

Rinoa:

Tifa:

If they ever remake Legend of Dragoon then I can die at peace.

You're thinking of Aeris. She was Cloud's other love thang in FFVII. It was always Aeris or Tifa.

Rinoa was Squall's boo thang from FFVIII. Seemed to 11 year old me that he had a thing for Quistis as well. So in VIII it was Rinoa or Quistis?

Yep ...the cutscenes

Rinoa just didn't do much, she was the bubbly damsel in distress in FF8. Tifa was a badass. I loved FF10, but if you gave me the choice between Yuna, Lulu, Rikku or Tifa, it's Tifa.

I loved FF7 but I'm not interested at all if I have to buy 2 or 3 games in order to complete the original one time.

Yeah $60 a pop wouldn't be good. I'm hoping at most it's 2 "episodes" and reduced cost?

I'm warming up to the idea somewhat based on how they're describing it. Apparently the first release (which focuses on Midgar) is going to be two blurays worth of data, so it's not like it's a quick, 5 hour playthrough. They're really expanding on the story.

Think of it as being similar to FFX and FFX-2 where they're both really standalone games that exist in the same universe rather than a set of games that all need to be played in sequence.

It'll all just come down to whether they're good or not. If they are, it'll be worth it. If not, people won't play the sequels after the first one.
