Tweet 1 yesterday:
Interestingly, 5 more days to Summer Games Fest, so assuming 5 more tweets (7 in total), we may get the 1st proper trailer and release date soon.
I'd be shocked if we got a trailer
Why wouldnt Square do it at the Playstation showcase? they needed it

They didn't show FF16 either and that's releasing this month.

Hmmm? FF16 got a new trailer at the PS Showcase

Yeah XVI was shown. Would have made complete sense for it to be at the PS Showcase. I can only assume they didn't want two big FF trailers at the same event....?

This gives some hope that it’s not a linear experience and that if it doesn’t have an open world it’s a collection of large interconnected areas. It needs that if it’s to truly capture the experience of FF7.

After that ending, I have to see where they go next...

Really want to see the highwind being introduced.
Will also be interesting to see how they implement the world if they do introduce it.
It's one of those games i wouldn't care much if they did leave the world in between towns empty, as there was so much going on in those towns. That's assuming they actually do that.

is just weird they are making FFVII tweets when FFXVI is around the corner.

Me guessing this last showcase turned into a leftovers-showcase - taking most of the b-tier showings for this and last year, leaving them with the potential of an a-tier showcase later this year or next year.
Rebirth trailer might be a summer game fest thing, or a game awards thing or next ps showcase.

The game will be launching in like 6-9 months so I guess they need actually show some footage and give it a release date.

Huh? I thought it was separate and not part of the show? Must have missed that part.

Something akin to like what they did with Star Ocean 3? But on a more massive scale …

I've currently got more hype for Rebirth than XVI, myself. Still looking forward to both, though.

Sony left out their heavy hitters from the PlayStation Showcase. Could it have been a concious decision to do so to reveal those games at the Summer Gamefest knowing that audiences from all platforms will be watching that vs mostly sony fans watching their own showcase?
I know Geoff is downplaying the hype of summer gamefest but they are streaming it IN THE FREAKIN THEATERS! Last event I saw in theaters was Sonys 2015 E3 EVERYONES DREAMS CAME TRUE conference.
And Geoff knew a year ago he would have gamesfest but I doubt Sony knew of their showcase yet so he may have secured the first reveals before Sony scheduled it for their showcase.
So I think FF 7 is a lock to be shown here amongst other heavy hitters.

Could be edgy and make a negative comment but I'll wait for what they show. I have little faith on them cramming as much as they can in though and it not being linear as fuck.

Pretty sure SE just wants to wait until after FF16 drops before focusing on FF7 Rebirth.
Expect to hear much more about FF7 Rebirth after the month of July....

So its going to be more open after midger. Crazy how we'll be getting this and FF16 within a year of each other, hyped for both.

I hope they go the route the PS1 game did with discs. Put 95% of the remaining story in Rebirth, then the last game is just the end dungeon and a super long CG ending.

More hyped for this then FF16

80 euros well spent.

This will be interesting how its handled. I'm going to guess they'll have Yuffie steal the high level materia/equipmment or something. So that'll be gone, but they'll probably keep certain abilities or refresh the combat so it still feels the characters have progressed strength wise, if that makes sense.

Seems like the game will be much more open. I dont expect a full open world, as that would be too much work for them. But maybe multiple open zones like ffxvi. Hopefully moving a way from the hallways and crawl spaces of the first game

Wide linear as they call it these days with multiple open zones is a safe bet. So yeah same as FFXVI.

I mean the way how TotK handled it (in my opinion) was great. I just want it to make sense in the context of the story.

Story wise with the Yuffie angle they have the perfect context for losing equipment lol.
Hypothetical, the group is asleep at the inn in Kalm. They wake up and find there belongings have been stolen. Later when you encounter Yuffie you find out she's lost it, or perhaps you have to hunt down her and the equipment as you progress.

Sorry, but the way they enfatized "HIGH DEGREE OF FREEDOM" and "MYRIAD OF DIFFERENT STORIES" just feels too cheap to take it seriously.
That's like those bad ads you see around.

With Part 1, I found basically everything off the main story path to be a chore. The key story elements from the original were pretty great, but everything else bogged it down. I hope they've figured out how to do proper side quests if that's going to from a large part of the next episode.
Go_Ly_Dow

With sidequests they would be better of making fewer of them, but so they are longer with a properly self contained story that is meaningful.
When it comes to time fillers, I've always enjoyed treasure finding for example like the ones you get on Uncharted to fetch quests. At least there's fun in searching every corner of the map and the subsequent reward.
