FFVIIR at TGS 2019 (NEW TRAILER!)

Some interesting analysis on the first scenes from the trailer.

After realizing the CAT trio scene is actually from the Train Graveyard and not the Wall Market sequence, I am guessing that the Tifa pull-up mini-game is probably from after the Plate drops and the party goes through Wall Market to get to Shinra HQ (I had forgotten that they do return to Wall Market post-plate drop). So I guess Tifa isn't joining Cloud and Aerith for the Miss Cloud outfit mini-quest sequence. The trailer just has some very clever editing. The only actual Wall Market scenes I guess were the Aerith dress shot and Don Corneo introduction parts.

Hypothesis that has no real solid evidence to support it:

Squenix is sitting on footage of Red XIII (and possibly others) for another "get hyped" trailer to release later.

There's a very short clip wherein what is clearly the hundred gunner is doing battle...

...which in the OG was in the very late stage of midgar, right before the motorcycle chase and leaving the city.

And after recruiting Red XIII to the team.

Where is Nanaki, Square Enix?! Where are you hiding him?!

I second this question.

I'd like to say we'd get another trailer come the end of TGS with Nanaki in it, like we had at E3 with Tifa, but I doubt it.

Quick thoughts on this trailer:

- Gorgeous visuals, especially the scene where Cloud sees Aeris in her red dress.
- Loved seeing the squats minigame, and was even more interested in seeing some sort of chin-up duel between Tifa and someone.
- Like the change with the president appearing via hologram. Makes a lot more sense than the original version. They could have toned down some of his cackling, but it's not a big deal.
- I remember Reno having a bit more of an edge and sinister vibe when he first turns up in the original game...but it might have been goofier than I recall, to be fair.
- Not a fan of some of the voice acting, to be honest, although I do like Aeris and Tifa. A Japanese option with subtitles in the game will be fantastic. Speaking of that, is there no subbed version of the Japanese trailer? Surprised that I couldn't find even a fan translation anywhere.

Overall, I like it! Surprised that it has turned out this well, actually.

I already can hear that Tifa says "pinch" in Japanese and doesn't say "bind" in the English one. So I'm curious how they'll be handling that plot element. Might also have just been an easier way to present a line in the trailer and not sound weird/out of context and it will be different in the real game.

But I'm sure people will make a mountain of it anyway when the comparisons come out, lol

The voice acting in this trailer is awkward. Reno's "Now it's my turn!" is especially weak to me. When the Keepers of Fate are attacking, the bodies of Barret and company appear distressed, but their voices sound like someone acting distressed, like it's just placed over the action. I've always been critical of SE's English voice direction and I'm afraid that'll continue here.

Really digging Rude's suit, though I'm bothered that his skin tone isn't darker.

Seeing the train's security scan is nice. Took me a moment to figure out what it was. We've come a long way from just flashing the screen red!

Also love seeing Eligor and any continued use of FF7's archaic enemy designs.

What has me most excited is President Shinra namedropping Wutai. This further backs any theories that Shinra is indirectly assisting AVALANCHE for their own gain: sowing fear into the populace. Twisting AVALANCHE's activism to being a threat from an old enemy will make citizens believe in the necessity of Shinra and SOLDIER even more.

Overall I'm hyped!
