I love that shot. Since the shot in the OG looked down on the catwalk, I never really considered what the view would be like looking straight out. I can't wait to get a completely different impression of familiar areas because of little things like different camera angles.
Also gives me hope that great OG shots like Dyne's Misery Cave will have a similar impact even with a free camera.

I'm sure it's been said already, but I hope to high holy hell there's some sort of photo mode. I've been spoiled so much by other games with stopping to take pictures; it'd probably be months before I even finished part 1 of the remake.

It looks like Tactical Mode is the closest we’ll get, but you can’t control the camera, it will slowly spin.
Edit: hee hee maybe Cait Sith could give us a camera mode

I don't know how you could make the assessment that that's the closest we'll get, given the ubiquity of photo modes in recent releases. Especially Square releases. Including Nomura's own KH3.

I think this is a possibility! We know now since the new trailer and artworks shown at E3, that everyone of them has a different weapon equipped and therefore the potential of unique special attacks and battle stances. In my mind (the post about OW Midgar that I should have written 6 months ago), they were always part of the main party for "Episode I", together with Cloud, Barret, Tifa...AND AERITH! That sounds contradicting I know, but when it comes to the bigger changes, or more like, THE BIG CHANGE in the Remake, this could be one.
to be continued...
soon..
maybe...

I like the idea that AVALANCHE seems to have a clear structure to it, and when the team gets crushed it throws everything into disarray. Then, the new squad sort of rises from the ashes, but isn't fully coalesced into it's own thing until they leave Midgar. That was something i always liked. Felt very organic.

What does that entail? XV is the only game I've played with such a mode, so maybe I'm just easily impressed.

Uncharted 4 has the granddaddy of all photo modes so far in gaming:

There’s no reason to expect something like this in FF7, but camera control during Tactical Mode would be a good start.

Photo modes are essentially screenshot tools. It pauses the game, lets you move the camera freely around the scene, adjust exposure, aperture for depth of field effects etc
Some games also let you adjust characters facial expressions, poses and such. Spider-Man's photo mode lets you overlay comic book shit like speech bubbles and comic book cover frames.
Edit: As an example:

Okay, I guess I just assumed XV and KH3 would let you do that, but that I just never tried because I never tried Uncharted's

XV's is still pretty good. You can rotate 360 degrees; look up/down; zoom in/out; and apply filters and frames.

Not needed. Like @Lulcielid already said. Could still functioning like AssCreed, but without jumping on the spot... I mean, we are not Mario.
E.g. "After the first bombing raid of avalanche, we're encountering a scene, here in sector eight, where people are confused and freightend, parents who are trying to calm down and console their children. Suddenly out of nowhere, an aloof man with spikey blond hair and a sword as big as himself, jumping around like a kid on steroids..."
No, thank you.

After being able to jump freely in FFXV, it's kind of hard to picture being limited back to not having that option.

I’m really glad / hoping jumping is not implemented into VIIR. I’d rather the combat be grounded so the controls and animation are tighter. Aerial combat in XV and KHIII was full jank, especially against larger foes.

It's certainly not a normal part of the control scheme. If jumping is required in the field it'll be handled contextually. In combat, aerial attacks trigger automatically based on proximity; Cloud will automatically leap up to perform aerial attacks on flying enemies if you can get in range to do so.
That being said, there's always Materia to modify gameplay. I wouldn't be surprised if they introduce Materia that can modify movement and change the function of the Evade button. You might not get a conventional jump button, but a Jump command wouldn't be out of the ordinary.

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE SUMMONS?!!
I know we haven't had a proper reveal yet, but I'm so excited to learn more about Materia's inclusion within the Remake. I can just see those little guys running around the battlefield, occasionally attacking opponents or lending aid. I doubt that they will be relegated to just quick flashy effects. I wonder if 'summoning' a creature will be based on a timer, denoting the amount of time that they will remain 'in play'. Leveling up their Materia could even possibly lengthen the amount of time that they are around.
And these are three new summons! Whatever your thoughts on DLC / Pre-order bonuses (we ALL knew it was going to happen, and we'll most likely get a TON more) I'm glad that these are new and that the originals aren't locked behind a paywall.
Can't wait to find out more about Materia and Summons!

They wanna shove in some more DLC, fine. I'll buy it. I'm not happy about it, but this is the one game where I'll do all of that bullshit.
As for how the summons function, I'd be happy if they were just like in the original game: basically super spells. It ain't broke. No need to fix.
