Quite interested to see how they've modified the story to accommodate the hub mechanic, particularly after the plate collapse. Maybe wall market takes over as the hub?

Man this is a bit of a bummer, more so with regard to Barret who's been tweaked quite a bit. I'd have happily bought a new release with the design changes.

The first UE4 game that comes to mind on the Switch is Daemon X Machina. It has a far simpler visual style than Remake does, but even taking that into consideration the demo from a couple months back had fairly prominent performance issues. It looked like it had improved when it showed at the E3...

Could be wrong but I remember the term being used around the time the second trailer for AC came out (late 2003ish)? Presumably came from an interview with Nomura or something.

There's maybe a chance of a Pro price drop, what with this, Death Stranding and seemingly TLoU2 all coming out in a 5 month span across the Christmas period. If that happens I'd just get the Pro.

All of the screens are great but this one in particular is unreal (no pun intended) in how good it looks. The lighting, particle effects, level of detail on the character model, it's a god damn quantum leap from the 2015 trailer.

Great to know dialogue choices are still in there. Wonder if/how they'll carry over choices to future games. The wording about the cross dressing is intriguing - it's still in there but is different because of physical unease? I get that Nomura probably is being restricted on what he can...

This is my only real major concern. The game almost looks TOO good, to the point where I can't help but worry a bit about if they can keep this level of quality consistent over several games.

The way I understand it, story beats are the major points in the plot, so stuff like Pres. Shinra being killed, Cloud giving Sephiroth the black materia, Meteor being summoned. The parts that drive the action. I should maybe elaborate that I don't think things like that should change...

With the project being multiple games, changes in story beats and plot progression makes more sense; let's use Sephiroth as an example. In the original, you don't see Sephiroth whatsoever during the Midgar section of the game. Now that Midgar is an entire game on its own, you can't really have...

Been waiting on Max's impressions, the dude clearly loves the original game to bits so I feel comfortable trusting his judgement.

I'm not the biggest fan of the naming either, but to Square's credit they have now stated multiple times that the game we're getting in March is all Midgar, and marketing closer to launch will probably hammer that point home fairly heavily. I'm guessing they didn't give it a subtitle or call it...

Really hoping he's a Shinra mascot aimed at kids. Stamp standing up for his friends hurt by those nasty Avalanche people, maybe?

Maybe not the thread to say this, but dude, the new Hardy looks sick.

I doubt that'll happen; as evident as it is that 7R has a lot of money and resources behind it (for the first game anyway), them putting all their other big ticket IPs, including the rest of the FF franchise itself, on ice for several years doesn't seem sensible.

The focus on character development sounds so great, I'm so excited to see more of that. The battle chatter during the guard scorpion was excellent, if the dialogue is consistently of that level then I'll be happy as a clam.

The interesting part is that the first game is still just called FF7 Remake, no subtitle or indication that it's part of a series. I wonder if they'll have some kind of event or clarification down the line where they re-announce that it's a part of a series and retroactively subtitle it.

Significantly better than the AC cast on the whole, to the point where I think Barret's English dub is better than the Japanese. It helps that the localisation is way better too.

Comes across to me like they're shooting for either 3 or 4 games and just aren't sure which yet, and as such they don't want to commit to any number whatsoever.

Not exactly sure how Bestbuy works, do they only put preorders up when there's a solid date/window in their system?
