E3: Final Fantasy VII Remake trailer

Commented on 2015-06-16 13:11:24

The big surprise. This seems like a full high budget triple A remake which is what a lot of people have been asking. Pretty funny that this and Shenmue were announced, but also absolutely awesome.

Then I guess we need 15*2 which is 30 years to play FF15, it has been almost 10 years, now we only have 20 years to wait

Now I'm glad Tetsuya Nomura got as far away from FFXV as possible.

Even though he took ages for Versus, glad Nomura has this rather than Toriyama...!

I loved Final Fantasy 7 back in the PS1 era, even though it was only 3rd place in my best RPGs list of that time (Xenogears was 1st and FF8 was second, Parasite Eve was a very close 4th.)

I really hope Square Enix delivers on the 2017 date and that the game sells millions of units. If The Last Guardian, Shenmue 3 and Final Fantasy 7 don't sell very well, fans will have no right to ever demand games like these or Half-Life 3 again.

Time to put the wallet where the mouth was.

Have to say. A bit unexpected. Also weird timing what with XV just around the corner. Hmm.

Not that i'm complaining though.

Bit pointless, the lasting impact of FF7 was it's story (particularly the death of Aeris), not the gameplay. Already knowing everything that's gonna happen in a big RPG is a big no-no.

Yeah, but you are totally missing the entire point of this remake. Nostalgia.

This is one for the fans, not a game to tell a new great story.

Nostalgia and "feelings" can't be everything a game is offering. There are remakes that make sense because the gameplay was superb, this one doesn't for me.

Yeah, and thus this isn't for you. Tell the 1 billion pants-creaming fanboys that a remake of FF7 sucks and see what reaction you get.

Also nostalgia can sell plenty of copies. Don't you worry about that.

Sounds about right :D ... you know maybe that's why Nomura left FF XV in the first place a couple years ago ... weird considering that the trailer had so much depth already (cg, voices, (english even), etc.) ...

I loved this game sooooooooooo much way back in the day. I'm very curious and very hopeful that this will really capture all the same magic of the original, if that's even possible by today's standards.

I just hope we don't have to wait another several years to play it.

It's funny that in a generation of remakes and remasters, no one complains about this one, and even gets very excited over it.

It's warranted, though. FFVII is one of my all time great games. Seeing Midgar properly realised in real time (hopefully that's the case) will be brilliant to revisit, especially if the last time you played it was back in 1997.

Thats why they are fanboys, Square could sell bird crap in an FF7 branded box and it would sell. I have no doubt it will sell.

But yeah, it's not for me. I loved FF7 and cherish the memories, still one of the best, most impactful games I've ever played, this won't ever match it because it can't.

Well, this is a remake of a game that's completely fuggly by todays standards. So i think the possible improvement on pretty much all levels makes it a good candidate for a remake. As opposed to Darksiders 2, for example :P

I mena, realistically, a remake of FF7 should be able to tell the story much more effectively, have much better quality music, sound effects and art.

So, love how as soon as they announced it, Square-Enix's stock boosted lol. They've known for years fans wanted this, it always made me wonder if Square-Enix just hated money or something.

On the subject of a re-make. The world they created was rich and intriguing. Much as Megido said, they'll be able to give us that world on a whole new level now. I LOVE the art and styling they used for FF7, and to see it brought to life with modern tech is thrilling. Midgar looks amazing, the character models look amazing. Even if they do nothing to the gameplay at all, this will still be a day one purchase for me.
