FFVII remake

[ketita]

Has there really been no thread about the remake? I checked the past few days and couldn't find any.
Do you simply not care? Are you convinced Square Enix is going to ruin everything forever? Bitter over every single game not getting a remake? Looking forward to crossdressing Cloud with all the graphics? Turn based y/n?

personally, I'm tentatively excited (because I love FFVII), but I really want them to keep it turn-based (ha, fat chance), and I hope they don't retcon in the entire goddamn Compilation. Also plz to not ruin Cloud's personality :((

Re: FFVII remake

The compilation ruined it for me. It's hard for me to muster any excitement about the original knowing that the plot and characters get screwed beyond recognition in the canonical sequels.

If it were a reboot, I'd be all over it. But as a "remake of the prequel to AC and DC"... meh.

Re: FFVII remake

[ketita]

Come to my corner, where we steadfastly insist that the Compilation doesn't exist.
I mean, I'm... kind of ok with AC as a high-budget fanfic with some cool fights, and I kind of pretend Cloud has a personality in between scenes (and that scene with Zack in AC:C?? doesn't exist. Nopity nope).
I just want them to remain true to the original :

I've got nothing to say except I am following the news, but am not super-hyped (7 was never that important to me, I can't afford a PS4) and yes turn based, please. Admittedly I haven't played a single Final Fantasy after 9, so idk how they're doing it these days, but I really liked the turn-based system, and it would be super-sad if it's gone.

Re: FFVII remake

[ketita]

oh, I can't afford a PS4 either. I hope in say 10 years they'll deign to make a PC port...
I'm pretty sure FFXV is open-world and real-time system. I don't mind the remake of FFVII having a more open world, but I hope they don't use FFXV's engine for it and let us keep the turn-based.

I hope they retcon the spinoffs because the less I see of Gackt Genesis, the better.

Re: FFVII remake

[ketita]

yessss

...I mean why so negative, anon?? They can use this opportunity to base a whole NEW character on Gackt!

Re: FFVII remake

[cloud_riven]

everyone's face will be modeled after or inspired by gackt

Re: FFVII remake

[ex_mek82]

Slap five, Anon. If I don't have to see Genesis again ever, I'll be the happiest person alive.

Re: FFVII remake

[(Anonymous)]

Why would they not keep it turn-based?

I'm excited, I'm mainly hoping it's just a graphics update because I don't need to gameplay to really be that much different. If it sucks? Eh I'll just go replay the original then.

Re: FFVII remake

[ketita]

The powers in charge made some comment about how it was "weird" or idk to have these gorgeous graphics and characters and have them standing in a line and then hopping forward to attack and then waiting.
Personally I don't know what they're talking about, and it sounds fine to me. I don't mind if they want to jazz up the system a wee bit, but seriously. it ain't broke!

Re: FFVII remake

[(Anonymous)]

I'm really excited for it! I honestly don't mind it if they tie in some things from the compilation, as long as it doesn't overtake the story of the original game. I'm fully prepared for changes, and while I'm a bit scared, I look forward to them.

I think the fans who think everything should just stay the same should realise it won't and that if they don't like it the original game will still be there for them to play. (this is mostly aimed at what I've seen from the reddit part of the fandom. so much butthurt already)

I have faith in Nomura and think he will do fine, especially after reading what he has said on it so far.

As for turn based combat, if they go that route I hope they do it so it's a bit more like the system in X-2 where everyone moves around a bit rather than stand straight in a line.

Re: FFVII remake

[ketita]

You're definitely more optimistic than I am :)
I wouldn't say I'm a die-hard purist, but I definitely lean to the side of caution... tbh I would actually be satisfied if the game was basically exactly the same but with mega updated graphics. Of course other perks would be nice, but I'm just kind of leery of where they go with it.
Still, it's pretty amazing that it's finally happening!

Re: FFVII remake

[(Anonymous)]

Last time I talked about this someone called my joyless, but I really am worried about the more socially regressive aspects of the game being kept intact for the sake of appeasing the rabid fans.

Re: FFVII remake

[ketita]

Are you referring to the crossdressing? Because there is no chance in hell that they would take that out.

Re: FFVII remake

[(Anonymous)]

I think they should PC it up a bit, like not calling each other "retard", and make Barret a bit less of a stereotype.

Re: FFVII remake

[(Anonymous)]

I'm more worried about them screwing up Aerith's personality tbh.

Re: FFVII remake

[(Anonymous)]

Well, are you asking everyone? I've never played the original and Square Enix turned me off to the FF franchise pretty fast (and I can't stand the same-face character designs they always have), so I'm probably not playing it!

I can't stand when companies make 100 remakes and spin-offs to one thing, in general, though I understand why people'd be excited about this one.

Re: FFVII remake

[cloud_riven]

I'm interested in it, and it's on my list of minimum reasons to get a ps4. If it was just a straight port with updated graphics, I wouldn't be. It's not my favourite FF, and the compilation was so ass my expectations are below sea level, but I'm curious as to how they will adapt the game or what new story elements are brought to the table.

Re: FFVII remake

[nanslice]

I'm reasonably excited about it! I hope it stays turn-based (or if it must change, move towards 12 or 13s battle systems) and I'm looking forward to the Honey Bee Inn as well as everyone being gorgeous. I am shallow. \o/

7 has never been my fave ff so I'm not so nervous about how much of the compilation gets added (I don't actually know much about the compilation but I've heard Terrible Things). I'm just hoping this, along with Type 0 and 15, jumpstarts the fandom a bit.

Re: FFVII remake

[ex_mek82]

I'm tentatively excited as well. The catch for me, is whether or not they'll rewrite stuff to accomodate stuff that happened in the Compilation (with Dirge of Cerberus being the most egregious example with all the horse shit it "added". Deepground, cyber demon virus Hojo, Omega Weapon and Chaos... the list goes on). At most, I expect them to possibly insert Shalua Rui in Barret's flashback when he talks about Dyne and how he got his machine gun hand (as iirc, they retconned it so Shalua was the one who gave it to him). But then you have the coked out shit like the Remnants of Sephiroth, Angeal, Genesis, Deneh... yeah. I don't know how they're going to reconcile all of that.

I guess, so long as the core story is largely unchanged or altered very little, I can deal. But at this point, I'm cautiously waiting to see what they'll do and what changes they'll make elsewhere in the game. I also hope they'll be able to get most of the original English voice cast back (but by God, I wish H. Jon 'Archer/Bob Belcher' Benjamin was voicing Cid instead of Chris Edgerly) but ehh, we'll see.

Re: FFVII remake

[(Anonymous)]

I'm not the problematic-calling anon but I'm going to admit here I've been trolling threads with events that never happened in the game to see if anyone remembers them or only remembers what they want to believe happened

Both sides are incorrect according to official scripts

Re: FFVII remake

[(Anonymous)]

Retcon the stuffed in shit that rode the coattails of the original AND give the series an actual ending.

My one true gripe with VII is that it didn't have a conclusive ending. Fanboys whine about it when I bring it up, but you can't deny that 'rocks fall, everyone (maybe) dies' isn't a satisfying ending.

Re: FFVII remake

[manzana]

Genesis in every flashback scene! Bishounen Hojo! Heck, every bad guy gets beautified! Even Heidegger!

Bonus points if they shoehorn in Reeve, Yuffie and Cait Sith in every possible moment because we all know those are the fan-favorite characters we want to see more of.

The potential for disaster is so high it's funny.

Re: FFVII remake

[(Anonymous)]

I've never played the original FFVII. Started to on my ps2 but haven't gotten very far yet. So I don't have any nostalgia tied to it. But I do love the fact that they are remaking a classic game, this one deserves it and if it is successful, I'd like to see them do VI, VIII and IX as well.

Good remakes are always welcome additions.
