Hi, I'm new to this forum. I feel the same way as you do - I am so happy that they are making this remake, I am ready for everything they change, as long as they mostly stay true to the story.
Recently I read so many articles where people worry how much different the game will be. Many just want everything the same, just advanced graphics. It is fairly obvious even without these updates from Nomura this won't be the case just by looking at the title really - If they planned just better graphics then the game would be announced as a Remaster just like FFX/X-2 was, but they clearly said remake so it is bound to be different.
I just don't get all this negativity, the fans begged Square Enix for years to do this and now that they have, most people just complain and worry. I mean, you will always have the original so its unnecessary to moan if some things will be different - To be honest, I actually think it would look ridiculous seeing Red XIII standing up in the sailor suit now in such HD graphics
I'm looking forward to these the most:
- Cloud on his motorbike escaping, that mini-game could be awesome as well
- final showdown with Sephiroth when Cloud uses his awesome Limit Break
- when you go to Shinra and meet Red - when I was first playing the game I was 9 so it was pretty creepy when you followed that blood pattern down the corridors but now I can just imagine how awesome it will be in great graphics.
- Gold Saucer
and of course the ones you mentioned:
- Aeris' death
- The slap off with Tifa and Scarlette
The crossdressing scene (dem bumblebee babes)
- The date with Aeris/Tifa on the gondola
I do wonder if they will keep that low/high affection towards characters that changes the outcome to the date at Gold Saucer and especially that Highwind scene with Cloud and Tifa - whether they hook up or just talk. If anything, it will be hilarious to see Tifa's reaction afterwards when she paces around and drops to her knees mortified that everyone was watching
I am actually hoping they would clarify their relationship more but I doubt they will - they LOVE keeping it ambiguous and the whole "who does Cloud love?" debate.
Also, I am hoping that they will narrate the story a little better because at times it was a bit confusing for me.
Maybe make certain parts of the story clearer or rearrange some of the plot developments.
Lastly, I hope that they will make the ending of the game a little longer - I always thought it kind of ended abruptly with that last cutscene. Maybe a little narrative from Cloud would be good.
