FFVII REMAKE CONFIRMED

[Tetsujin]

Bruh. Sephiroth is in Shinra Tower. That has interesting implications.

I think it implies he's about to shank the president

 

[ForceStealer]

Yup

Roche's description is pretty funny. Nobody likes him lol.
And yeah, Aerith's Rho Aias Shield of Light thing is pretty cool. Lots of awesome stuff here.
The Playstation article has more renders (Albeit lower quality).

I wonder how much of this will come up in the inevitable Jump Festa showing.

Edit: Odd quirk in Square's English article... Roche's Third Class ranking is written as 3-C SOLDIER. Is this gonna be new English terminology?

 

[ForceStealer]

In the back there is where we were controlling Tifa across monkey bars in the TGS trailer.

 

[Erotic Materia]

Where are you guys getting all this info about Roche? I'm not finding anything on google

 

[ForceStealer]

It's in the English article Highwind just posted above.

This 3-C SOLDIER turned rebel is also known as Speed Demon.

He loves bikes, speed and anyone who can give him a challenge. His comrades, however, find him annoying - he constantly squeals his rear tire and makes them choke on fumes of burnt rubber.

It's gonna take me soooooooooo loooooooooooonnnnngggg to complete this game, I'll be checking out every nook and cranny and angle in suuuuuuuuppppperrrr slooooooowwwwwww-moooooooooooooooo ...

 

[Keveh Kins]

First glance at President Shinra and I can see resemblance to Rufus, which is a little bit of detail I love in games, family resemblances

Same here! I don't want to miss any little hints about future parts or anything

 

[Kain424]

This is incredible. So much so I can only refuse to believe it. This game is going to be the biggest belly flop of all time, right? There's no way they can actually be as good as what they've shown. It makes no sense!

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Wait. SOLDIER turned rebel? He's not... gonna join them, is he? I really hope not. Just kill him with fire, Aerith.

 

[FFShinra]

If Shinra looks like Senator Roark, I wonder if Rufus is the Yellow Bastard pre-Yellowing....

 

[Kain424]

He's definitely some kind of bastard.

 

[Odysseus]

Y'all can freak out about Sephiroth and Roche all you want, I'm just over here being happy that they kept these weird statues that are in front of
Shinra HQ:

[ForceStealer]

Oh dang, @Odysseus. I was laughing at the on-brand generic corporate art sculptures. Didn't notice at all that they were from the original.

 

[FFShinra]

The tower entrance looks like a fortress....as it should.

 

[Random Nobody]

Bentley's voice for Barret is 100% his vision, and his performance is coming from the heart. Honestly, you should hear him talk about the character -- he understands and cares about Barret, and has since the OG came out in 1997 -- it was one of the first black main characters he'd ever seen and was very influential for him.

i am gonna be honest with you, sis...mi nuh care about any of that.

And again, he does not sound absurd during regular banter.

....but he does though.

i feel like what is being discussed here is whether bombastic delivery is narratively justified, whereas i must not be communicating clearly am commenting on the objective quality of the accent. we're likely hearing two separate things and i suspect we will not agree on this, ever.

 

[FFShinra]

What accent is he supposed to have then? Because the portrayal is accurate to the orignal game.

Fair enough. I’m not even gonna have voices on, as much as some of the performances are bangin. That option is there for you too.

No ones mentioned the Seph in flames render, prob cause it’s the 100th one we’ve seen! It’s still the best looking one yet though. My god it’s like they’ve remembered what colour is.

 

[Cannon_Fodder]

Wait. SOLDIER turned rebel? He's not... gonna join them, is he? I really hope not. Just kill him with fire, Aerith.

I'm pretty sure they just mean he doesn't listen to orders or respect the chain of command, probably because he's gotta go fast a Speed Demon.

But speaking of killing stuff with Aerith! Her gameplay actually sounds fun. I thought it would be mindlessly mashing square and casting spells, but she seems to get rewarded by fitting in longer attack chains (her attacks hit more enemies and have greater explosion radius'). Plus her Tempest attack is better if you can get time to charge it all the way. Stuff like the flower shield helps her get to maximum effectiveness.

Tifa and Sephiroth renders look great, as expected. I'm most surprised by how good President Shinra looks. And I'm more excited than ever to explore Shinra tower, especially the Visual Entertainment Hall. The addition of wind and story sections in the Train Graveyard is also exciting.

(Why is it not March?)

 

[Keveh Kins]

I love Sephiroth's face in all these renders. I dunno what it is, he just looks more appealing but also definitely unhinged.

Handsome fella, but also a bit...eerie looking?

Like, ye'd ride him, but ye'd ask him to leave the house straight afterwards cause fuck knows what he's capable of

I actually like the Barrett one the most. The detail and color in that one makes it stand out a little more
