Remake Interviews: Catch-all Thread

"From there" being from the concept of making her chest tighter so it doesn't flop all around in acrobatic maneuvers.

 

[FFShinra]

What earlier model?

 

[Lex]

Slightly better quality renders

It's been hitting me in slow waves that we get to spend something like another 5-15 years with new FFVII content to look forward to. I know it would have been nice to have the whole thing as a single game but my (many of our) favourite game of all time, favourite story of all time, favourite characters - we get to see them a whole lot more than I ever imagined possible. The original will always be there, but FFVII really has a future now. We get to talk about all this stuff, say things like "I really like the colour of that" or "I can't believe what they did with this scene!" and so on, for years and years to come. I'm so excited.

With you 100%. That fact that we have (and this time will consistently get) Japanese articles to dissect and translate brought a wave of nostalgia over me from the ACC/Dissidia days.

Maybe my first statement was a little premature, but didn't changed the argument about my concerns about how much influence the ethic department has over the project now and the future. It looked like the ED changed things on an already finished Tifa design. The changes they did and we know of, are focused on her clothes. We DON'T KNOW what else they changed. That was everything I was indicating, and that was the reason why I asked

I'm pretty sure the ED didn't force them to change anything that was already complete. Keep in mind SE made the choice to assemble the department. They want to be on top of these things.

I mean, all they did was give Tifa a properly supportive sports bra like a lot of athletic women wear. Why is this a problem?

Sorry, my english is not something I'm proud of, but I'm 100% sure I never said anything against her outfit? It looks people are trying to give me the short end of the stick here... I get it, it's a sensible topic and it looks like I can't really express what I want to say. Therefore, I will halt this discussion on my end of the table.

 

[ForceStealer]

I'm not sure people are really referring to you. Just the general people yelling about it across the internet.

 

[Ite]

Yeah... not diggin the hem of that dress yo

It feels good to not have to be alone. ;-;

I'm digging next to nothing about that dress myself. Missing her original outfit (or its Advent Children iteration) so bad.

 

[ForceStealer]

The boots and the jacket are great ya crazies.

 

[Rydeen]

I'm kinda wondering if "Ethics Department" is just a mistranslation of Public Relations. Also, I'm a rather large chested woman - sports bras make your boobs appear smaller, and make cardio a lot easier. It's not that complicated. It seems like they're trying to make the game more relateable/close to life, so I don't see how that wouldn't be a part of that. It doesn't even seem like AC physics is really gonna be as much of a thing in this game based on what we've seen so far.

Re: Aeris' dress - I actually like the redesign, looks comfy and cute. Boots are still badass.

 

[cold_spirit]

I’m digging the contrast between the red jacket and white dress. A bit more interesting than her OG color palette in my opinion. The hem also adds a homey look. I do find it interesting that they changed the type of dress, but am ultimately indifferent to the change.

 

[ForceStealer]

It is interesting.

Admittedly this

looks a lot harder to run in.

 

[FFShinra]

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!!!

The dress is more floofy because she got DAT ASS!!! PHAT Aerith exists!!!

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

No, Nomura refers to the "company's internal ethics department" as 社内の倫理部署. "Public relations" is 広報.

Also, Polygon apparently spoke to someone from Square Enix who said that "In the Square Enix Japan studios, the Ethics Department is actually a group within the company that evaluates game content to make sure it is aligned with the anticipated age ratings standards across the globe (CERO, ESRB, PEGI, etc)."

 

[Ryuman]

Sites like 4Gamer have put up their articles featuring the same info as Famitsu, but of course it means higher quality screenshots. Other sites had the new Cloud and Aerith renders but they're a bit too low-res to care about. I just found 4Gamer to have the best quality overall.

 

[FFShinra]

I know the original was T but I honestly think they could get away with an M these days.....

 

[OdaDaimyO]

Think about why there are so many "fireworks" in the game... I'm sure you know the answer already.

I'm unsure what you mean. Can you explain it, please?

 

[Vyzzuvazzadth]

I like Aerith's new dress. Looks way more comfortable to walk, run and fight in. I think I mentioned that in my State of Play trailer analysis.

And thanks @Ryuman for that link! It has a few screenshots of scenes in the trailer but from a few frames earlier (train passengers, Loveless corner) or even an alternate versions (Aerith's Healing Wind, Shinra building). I can use those to enrich my trailer analysis.

I assume he means to obscure violence...but I think Square just likes flashy particle effects

Yeah, if that's what he means, then I agree. They haven't shown overly much concern about that previously.

 

[Ite]

I don’t like eyelet hems, is all, and the chevrons make it look ratty. The coat and boots are great (it’s too much to hope for shoulder pads post-1998 XD) and the colour is fine. It’s literally just the hem that bugs me.

For me, it's the hem, the color, and the "floof."

 

[Vyzzuvazzadth]

I think the new dress fits her Flower Girl "shtick" well and is a nice adjustment to modern times compared to the old pencil dress in my opinion.
Also, maneuverability. But in the end, it's all about personal preference.
