Hopes for Remake & Rebirth (story/content)

[Tashasaurous]

I assume those are quest markers on a Midgar map and not pepperoni on a pizza, as my hungry brain first thought.

Lol. The Midgar Plate does look like a giant pizza at first glance. Even the people IN the game world of Final Fantasy think it resembles to a pizza.

I honestly don't mind Midgar not being fully explorable? I hope the design it bigger ofc, but in a way where it doesn't feel like you've seen the entire city.

I agree. A little bit of suggestion, implication, a little tact, a bit of AHTIS-TA-REE goes a long way in creating a psychological effect on the player. I don't want Midgar to be something I can 'conquer'

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

It should be like Rabanastre, where you can explore a lot of it but are left with the feeling that you've only seen a fraction of the whole place.

I don’t necessarily agree with the sentiment with the Remake “taking too long”

We’ve been following since almost the very start of development, it’s only 4.5 years ish of dev. It’s been delayed once already though ?

On the topic of DLC characters - why would they do that? Like others have said Cid and Cait Sith are essential to the plot. Yuffie and Vincent also have a role to play, moreso Vincent.

Finally I agree with them possible doing a FF12 Rabanastre situation where you feel like you explored a large amount but still feeling there is much that we don’t see in-game

 

[ForceStealer]

I think people were being a little facetious about DLC main cast members.

There's no way it's gonna be fully explorable. It's absolutely massive. It's impossible to do that well. The only way is like Assassin's Creed has with its various cities, just massively copy and paste so every other street looks kinda the same.
That would be a terrible approach in a Final Fantasy game. Their towns and cities have so much more character to them.

 

[hleV]

Yeah but the scene at the end of disc 2 has you sky dive into Midgar because there's no other way in. That would somewhat ruin the action!

Hmm you're right, but it wouldn't be hard to slightly alter it. Basically you'd still have a way to sneak into there pre-Midgar raid, but then have Midgar go under real lockdown forcing the party to parachute. Midgar being inaccessible to the outer world under normal circumstances isn't such a great idea tbh.

In the OG, you can get the Midgar Key and visit Sector 5, 6, and Wall Market before the parachute. The Disc 2 finale returns you to the Sector 8 Plate (now scaffolded thanks to the Sister Ray) and Shinra HQ (if you go off the beaten path).

 

[Gary Caelum]

Don't you land in a sewer somewhere?

 

[ForceStealer]

No, you land on the street, and then go into a grate that takes you to the interior of the plate, eventually reaching the train tunnels.

 

[Gary Caelum]

Ok they just used an FF7 sound effect. ITS COMING!!!!

 

[Castiel Strife]

Oh hell yes!!!! Finally more Final Fantasy VII Remake!!! And more to come in June! So yes, it WILL be at E3 no doubt about it! Can’t freaking wait. It looks amazing. It was a very short teaser, but at this point we will all take what we can get. Omg. Soooo excited!!!

I wanted to make a thread because this deserves one of it’s own but the teaser/trailer hasn’t released yet by itself!

 

[Gary Caelum]

Lol I like that I noticed the FF7 sound effect in the intro. I bet most people missed that.

 

[Kain424]

Just loving the damn LOOK of everything.

 

[Gary Caelum]

Lol I like that I noticed the FF7 sound effect in the intro. I bet most people missed that.

Lol I watched a few reaction videos and literally everyone noticed this.

 

[Kain424]

Hoping they keep my favorite bit of dialog teasing.

 

[ForceStealer]

Funny that that meme says what the line *should* have said (with that crucial "If")

 

[Kain424]

It's an understood "If", considering Barret's speech style.

 

[ForceStealer]

Nah, it's just wrong. Also, it's Cloud who's speaking.

"Barret, be careful! Attack while its tail's up! It's gonna counterattack with its laser!" kind of implies "attack quickly before it hits us with the laser!"

 

[Kain424]

To each their own.

 

[Ariga]

I always thought it would have been like "Barret, be careful! If you attack while it's tail's up, it's gonna counterattack with it's laser!" meaning "Don't attack while it's tail's up!"

 

[ForceStealer]

Yeah that's what it's supposed to have been. But not how they entered it.

 

[Ariga]

Yeah, that's what I thought. They had so many silly translation and grammar error in the original game lol.

 

[LicoriceAllsorts]

Well I attacked when its tail was up and I'm sure I'm not the only one.
