    I jilled off to this. Is that weird??

    Okay in all seriousness its only been a few years since I played FF7 and at the time I was like, eh, its all right (I'm one of those weirdos that REALLY likes FF6) and at the time disc 2 I think was... scratched slightly so it made loading the game at where I was picky choosey. I didn't even end up finishing it. And yeah, I know, you can get scratches taken out for like a dollar but I'm lazy. Now you might be thinking. WTF you so excited for? Well, after hearing friends talking about a remake since well, forever, I decided... what better way to finally get to finish the game! XD

    That being said... I may actually go down to a record store and get the scratch removed and start this game over >.> I know, seems kinda weird but lets just say my interest is renewed =D
    Spit out your stride gum and chew another piece already... or I'll haunt you.

    I think the disbelief is because of all the times SE gave us false hope and then burned it down like a tonne of bricks. It's like, is this real?

    I hope square will consider giving people a choice of gameplay style rather than forcing turn-based or action based battles and give fans a choice between both battle systems so people new to FF can be able to play the game and longtime fans can still have that option for turn-based combat.

    I cringe everytime im reminded of my spelling mistake in the title.
    Can a mod fix for me plz?


    Also this is now a

    Things we think they will keep out of the ff7 remake and why.

    I'll start;

    The cloud crossdressing segment
    Aeris x redXIII ... sex experiment
    Cloud riding a dolphin to the top of the electrified tower after giving the little girl CPR



    Why? Not sure. Just a feelin.

    - I bet the cross-dressing segment stays, but will be tweaked quite a bit.
    - The long Summon sequences. I can see them getting the axe for the sake of smoother battling, even though they would look ****ing awesome on today's hardware.
    - The optional characters. Not that I think they remove them, but I bet they make some adjustments to Yuffie/Vincent to make them easier to encounter (i.e. mandatory party additions organic with story progression).
    - The reading-style RPG. You know they're going to add voice actors. Normally I'd be okay with it, but I don't think any voice actor could do Cait Sith justice.

    Here are a few things I DON'T want them to even consider for the remake and why:

    - An end-game side quest to resurrect Aeris; her stabby death is necessary! (oops! spoilers sorry!)
    - Keep Biggs, Wedge and Jessie dead, too, for the same emotional impact! (oops! sorry again!)
    - Any major battle system change; adding options is fine, but keep a "classic mode" in there.
    - The chocobo breeding system being dumbed down/made easier; I hate simplification.
    - A composer not named Nobuo Uematsu listed prominently at the top of the soundtrack.
    Hero façade. Villain at heart.

    We're finally getting a good Final Fantasy game. It's been years since we've had one of those. Here's to hoping they don't mess with the battle system, because Square sucks at trying to innovate new systems of combat. It makes all of their newer titles unplayable. I'm hoping they keep the junction system too, which I'm sure they will.

    I do hope they change the final battle of the game, though. The final battle is supposed to be challenging. Final Fantasy VII's was a joke.

    I was discussing this the other day also.
    I think that they will no longer be made optional, but rather mandatory characters that are unlocked throughout the duration of the storyline. If you notice in the original, vincent and yuffie are left out of all cutscene showcasing the entire party(mainly the final cgi at the end of the game), I dont think this is something they can get away with in the remake. I also think it could make for a far more interesting turn of events if both yuffie and vincent are included in scenes where they otherwise would not have been mentioned. I'm still unsure how the game is going to play out, I was kinda hoping they would reveal more at the squarenix E3 conference. Now assuming these characters will become mandatory in the remake, that would also mean 2 optional sidequests would be removed. Not that they were particulary enjoyable, but I'm hoping that there will be worthwhile sidequests in the remake just like there was in the original, that give the player more reason to explore the marvelous world.

    Getting shivers thinking about traversing the deep sea in the submarine with a lurking Emerald Weapon in the remake. I also hope, that they allow for this and make it optional instead of story based.

    The Cloud crossing dressing segment is still in from the sounds of it along with most, if not all of the rest.

    "How the new, slightly darker aesthetic sits with some of the crazier elements of the original game remains to be seen, but it seems they'll be intact. Can't wait to see the delicious sight of Cloud in a dress in glorious HD? "Please look forward to it," said Nomura as the interview came to a close."

    I don't mean musicals featuring animated characters singing Gackt music lol, I just mean as background music ala dirge of cerberus, not to replace any of the original FF score, but like as an addition to the score, since it's likely the composer will add to the soundtrack for the remake.

    Now if I wanted people to dislike me as a developer, I would have made a reboot of Mystic Quest and featured FF7 characters as cameos the whole game.

    Speaking of cameos, I wonder if there will be Type-0 HD references and FFXV references to promote those games? I mean, might as well since this remake will more than likely overshadow them. What this remake does need is a demo for people to play and provide feedback like they're doing for FFXV.

    EDIT: to reply to nix's post - cool stuff...like Gackt music *runs away quickly*

    I'm going to lose all my credit with this, but...

    I like X-2 and its theme song. I know all the words.

    And to answer your question, Gackt is a rock band from Japan.

    Here is their song Redemption (which is from Dirge of Cerberus. Didn't know that! Thought it was from Crisis Core, haha.)



    Also, the appearance of Genesis is apparently based off of one of the band members.

    There are various story elements that should be changed for the remake. I think the terrorism thing at the beginning of the game could be toned down a bit. Former terrorists don't make particularly compelling heroes.

    "a Gackt" lol

    Gackt is a famous japanese pop/rock artist whom the FFVII Crisis Core Compilation character - Genesis - was modelled off of. He is also the voice actor for Genesis in the japanese version of Crisis Core.

    Not only did he write n sing the theme song, Redemption (n Longing-my fave ;P) for the other FFVII Compilation title -Dirge of Cerberus, he also appears in the game itself thru live-action combined with CGI.

    Tl:dr Irrevelant n not even worth mentioning.

    I'm very glad Coff9 is backing me up on this. I still personally think Gackt would add nice depth to the FF VII storyline, or at least be Vincent's theme, Vincent didn't really have much of a theme in the original. I hope his deathbringer will be like his DoC one, that would be pretty sweet. Chaos was pretty useless in the original game.

    There is very little that could ruin this now that it has been announced, and I really dont want to complain at all since this is all I have ever asked/wished for, and now is coming to fruition, but please no gackt or anything. I cringed at that cgi crap at the end of dirge (amongst other things).


    Everyone please report me for 'bad language' and in the text box, write "aboard"

    Haha, I would if I could, Nix. I'm sure that was confiscated a long time ago. You have no idea.

    But yeah, I do hope they keep the remake consistent with its own lore. Adding in and changing things won't really make it much of a remake, but more of a reimagining or retelling. It would be like putting in things from FF4: The After Years into the DS remake of FF4. Buuut, with what Sabin said about Vincent, well, I could see changes to something like a Limit Break for a character that you may or may not get during the game. Maybe some nods to the other games would be okay.

    There's really no way to know how all of this will go just yet. I'm hoping for the best, but as others have said, the more I think about how this will go, the less hope I have.

    At least we'll always have the original. And those mods for the PC version. And with those, you could put in anything you want!

    It's already been stated (forgive me for not sourcing) that the remake will include new plot elements and additions to the original. This should be expected, we are not asking for a clone, in so many ways, we want a fresh new perspective on the game we adored when it first came out. Dont stress that it will stray to far from the original, because the words "remake" were specifically added to the end of the trailer and in my humble opinion, leads me to believe that they will stay true to the original in the way that it matters most to the fans.

    Edit: shoutout to loco for fixing my bad language.
