FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH ANNOUNCED

[Lex]

To be clear, the content is still available on the TLS YouTube. This was discussed prior to him leaving, IIRC all creators are required to agree that something published under TLS essentially belongs to the community. We may have complied with one or two requests to remove a specific video here or there as a gesture of goodwill, but the majority of stuff should still be up.

FWIW this exact topic is one of the reasons having a single person in total control of the YouTube made people feel insecure. We were all too aware at the time that a temper tantrum could just nuke it all out of existence.

 

[Cthulhu]

Shall I look into getting a copy of all the videos (RIP my hard drive) and making a hard backup / archive somewhere?

edit: Looks like the easiest way to get a copy of everything is by using Google Takeout; I've just triggered one for the youtube videos.

Square uploaded some samples from the FF7 rebirth vinyl:

 

[LNK]

Chadley is Shinra from X-2. Wait what?

I can't wait till this cd is released

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Well, given that in Rebirth, Chadley's thematic role of gathering data on creatures throughout the world is already pretty on-the-nose for FFX-2's Shinra, so some musical theme overlap seems like a rather appropriate nod to that distant connection. The REAL question is whether or not we see other stylistically Al Bhed / Spiran relics as Easter Eggs in Bone Village, aside from possibly getting a glimpse at the Shera which we already know has the most overt FFX & FFVII link between both games.

I was actually curious if FFXVI was going to end up making any sort of similar nods with its ancient airships crashed all over the world, but they seemed to remain fairly self-contained in terms of design reference.


X

 

[LNK]

Which song makes reference to Shinra and X-2?

X

I have no objections to such things being easter eggs, but I wouldn't want them to lean into this super hard. But finding relics that reference X or other FFs is fine. Like the Errands in FF Tactics

 

[cold_spirit]

Wouldn't even be the first time.

 

[LNK]

Me saying Chadley is Shinra was meant as a joke. It's a headcanon I have based on Hojo being able to do transfer his consciousness or whatever. Chadley is a robot after all.

 

[Tetsujin]

I'm probably gonna go on media blackout but maybe I'll let you people taste test the trailer for me (should there be one at TGA tonight)
Someone ping me and tell me how spoilery it is in terms of new mystery Zack bullshit versus remade from original stuff and what stuff from the OG is in there (Vincent, Cid etc), please and thank you

 

[ForceStealer]

Which stuff are you more likely to not want to have spoiled? Remade OG stuff or Zack bullshit?

 

[Lex]

Would be neat if there's a trailer!

Sadly I can't watch it as I must sleep for werq. Sadge

There is one and it has all character reveals

 

[ForceStealer]

I adore this.

 

[LNK]

 

[Makoeyes987]

It's fucking happening. Holy shit.

We're covering some of the best parts of FFVII. I'm so fucking READY.

I adore this.

God, this needs to be the promotional poster and cover for the game. This.

This right fucking here.

This is fucking incredible. I'm feeling this artwork down to my bones.

 

[LNK]

There's so much in this trailer, but at the same time there really isn't. I'm still left wondering how the story will play out.

 

[ForceStealer]

This is fucking incredible. I'm feeling this artwork down to my bones.

Can we replace the boring Zack cover with this one?

 

[Tetsujin]

I fucking gave in
Alright, media blackout *from now*

4K Screenshots hnng

Going by those shots, all 4 Saucer dates from the OG are confirmed

 

[LNK]

Whisper sighting at Aerith's death. Jessie. Biggs. Marlene talking to Zack. So many questions

Ody said this will likely be a cover for an Ultimania, and I think he’s probably right.

Apparently the Jessie parts are implied to be VR recreations of her likeness.

 

[Cloud_S]

JP trailer, in 4K here:

 

[LNK]

Apparently the Jessie parts are implied to be VR recreations of her likeness

I was thinking along these lines, since I believe she is dead

Also, based on the picture, they look to be near the Northern Crater. Maybe near the FC

 

[LNK]

"After surviving the fall of the Sector 7 plate, Biggs awoke to find that he is the last remaining member of the ill-fated anti-Shinra rebels, Avalanche. Having recovered from his injuries, he now seeks revenge against the company that murdered his comrades."

This was interesting as well. Clearly misleading about what's happening with Biggs
