Early 2024 as I expected

[Tsaki]

This looks great man. 2 discs too! Rebirth will be a chonker. Couldn't Sony have is at their Showcase?

 

[YukiOnna]

Reminds me of XB2/XB3 which is noice.

 

[MikeM]

Day one so fucking hard.

 

[Whitecrow]

Meh. FF XVI looks better.

What are you smoking?
This wipes the floor with xvi graphics lmao

 

[saintjules]

That open world stuff looked rough..

Looking at it through the PSVR2 lens?

 

[Lucifers Beard]

I really should try and complete Remake at some point. There’s just so much damn padding though. Hope this fixed that.

 

[Larxia]

It's cool to finally see more footage from it, but I'm slightly conflicted.
Something about the environments looks off to me. It looks kind of cheap? Artificial? I'm not sure how to describe it.

Like if you compare it to Final Fantasy XV for example.




Sorry for the compression on the FF7 screenshot, it's from the youtube video, but yeah, FF7 in comparison gives me a kind of... unreal fanmade project look, it feels less authentic, there's something strange.
Maybe it's also the fact that the environment, the topography, doesn't look very believable / immersive, you can clearly see that it's designed for a video game level with obvious barriers here and there, and the map looking small in overall scale.

Might be better when we see more of it, and I'm still definitely interested in it, but that's my impressions from what we saw today, something it just off for me.

 

[Nautilus]

Yes i did

And if u play the game on the "active mode" ( dont remember de name ) that u asign abilities to buttons in order to make the game more ACTION focused then tactical.

"Turn based combat with real time dodge", what fuck is even this lmof

FF7 Remake is an action RPG with tactical elements, just cause the game has ATB dosnt make it turne based, FF7 remake combat has a lot happenig on the screen with particules, magics, explosions, that some times make the game hard to read.

Its a lot closer to FF16 the only difference is that u can change party member mid fight.

WTF are you going on about? I wasn't even talking to you. Why you replyed "Yes I did"? Are you drunk? lol

And what is this nonsense about tactical elements? There is nothing tactical about them, unless you mean that turn based combats are tactical by its own nature. You freeze the game tu use your ATB gauge, whioch works in the same exact way the turn based games worked.

The game is a "natural" evolution that combines turn based combat with action elements. It has nothing to do with nor resembles XVI.

 

[saintjules]

Does anyone know how they'll be handling the leveling? Will you start back on level 1? I can't imagine you'll be able to import saves since many maxed out their characters in FF7R and it would make Rebirth a breeze.

Currently unknown unfortunately. I'd wonder if they do enemy level scaling if that was the case.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Who said I was talking about graphics? This website man lmao.

 

[TheUndeadGamer]

So a year later to come to PC I imagine. Bummer . Looks good though.

A year later on Epic, then another year / 6 months on PC.

 

[Captain Toad]

Looks perfect.

Sony really could have used this at their showcase.

 

[Captain Toad]

Epic isn't PC?

 

[TheUndeadGamer]

A year later on Epic, then another year / 6 months on PC.

Me even more sad now. Oh well. Plenty of other stuff to play in the meantime.

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

Honestly tho I really do wish that this game has a moment where you disc swap to experience the rest of the story (for physical owners). I don’t like having to wait and install for a game I physically own + love the nostalgia.

 

[Fredrik]

The turn based mechanics in the first game is the ability to basically freeze time and issue commands to the characters you have in your party, which then they would perform after you unfreeze, and you could freeze the game how many times you wanted. Didn't you use it?

100% the game will use the same mechanic, though there can be improvements to it.

I mostly mashed I’ll go back to it with this in mind once I’m out of TOTK.

 

[FoxMcChief]

I really think this looks great. Way more hyped for this than 16. I’ll likely buy it.

 

[ABnormal]

2 discs was a joke reference to the OG game on PS1

Well, the original one had FOUR disks.

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

Meh. FF XVI looks better.

I think the environments in XVI look slightly better but the character models in VIIR are so above and beyond XVI’s it’s not even funny.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Well, the original one had FOUR disks.

FF VII was a 3 disc game.

 

[Nautilus]

I mostly mashed I’ll go back to it with this in mind once I’m out of TOTK.

Try it like that. It is the best combat system created in the last 10 years.

 

[K2D]

If people still haven't caught up

• It’s exclusive to PlayStation 5 because of the graphical quality, of course, as well as SSD access speed. Since the adventure unfolds in a vast world after the escape from Midgar, loading stress is an extreme bottleneck. We felt we needed the specifications of PlayStation 5 to overcome that and travel the world comfortably.

 

[Gone]

The game being on 2 discs is a selling point now?

 

[mortal]

If people still haven't caught up

So did the web designers fuck up?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

The world map areas are beyond my expectations. I was expecting flat land, but this looks more like Xenoblade which has fantastic vista's and design.

Yeah, I'm not so fond of open world FF.

If they can fix Rebirth foliage, great. But that is the least of worries/expectations.

 

[ABnormal]

FF VII was a 3 disc game.

Much time is passed, but I seem to remember four disks.

Unless I'm confusing the game disks with the OST disks.

Maybe, the game itself is 3, FF VIII and IX are 4 discs though.

I think it's awesome. In an age where some games are "buy empty disc to download" and something like Alan Wake 2 "digital only", I'm glad to hear it.

How to Upgrade FF7 Remake to PS5 Intergrade - Final Fantasy 7 Remake Guide - IGN

FF7 Remake, originally for the PlayStation 4, received an upgraded version for the PlayStation 5 called "Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade." This

www.ign.com

So what really is being upgraded by using the "free" upgrade? You don't get access to the DLC when you do this, so it's just faster loading/slightly more polished visuals, right? I'd still need to buy/download Yuffie DLC separately or buy a physical copy of Intergrade? Never did play that.

 

[darrylgorn]

Because they already did an ff7 action rpg, isn't it?

(Disclaimer: I don't really follow FF games, this is just what I understand from the recent releases)

 

[Neff]

The game being on 2 discs is a selling point now?

Maybe assuring people that the whole game comes in the case without mandatory downloads? Because that is kind of starting to become a selling point these days.

 

[Shifty1897]

RIP to my PS5 Hard Drive

 

[Mischief Maker]

I really would prefer if these games were a turn based proper RPG, not another pseudo action game. It isn't as blatant as FF16, which is a straight up action game, but come on.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Bingo.

Then you clearly should start following or just look up what FF 7 Remake is lol

Its a lot closer to FF16 the only difference is that u can change party member mid fight.

Another huge difference is the global ATB cooldown.
As well as the controls being very different..

I can agree it's closer to 16 than a turn based games, but they are still radically different.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Still can't get over the Xenoblade esque vibe in the world map.

Someone give me a shot of morphine.

 

[justonething]

Why do sparks shoot out the buster sword when Cloud is slicing monsters? You'd think he was battling a fucking car with the amount of sparks that fly out. When will devs grow out of these weird inappropriate particle effects trend?

 

[Aenima]

The game being on 2 discs is a selling point now?

It should be for physical users. It means is not half on disk and another half digital download like some other games do.

When the game changes its name to Final Reality they will get rid of the sparks and all the effect on screen.

 

[Nankatsu]

Trying to get make some sense of what is said in the trailer, shit, I'm getting the feeling this will be even more convoluted than Part 1. But I'm in. Part 1 was my favourite ARPG on previous gen.

 

[Synless]

Not a fan of the no blood for Tifa after episode yuffie.

 

[pleaseinsertdisctwo]

I mean one of the discs might just be an install disc, just like the PS4 version of Remake. I don’t really see the difference.

I am HOPING, though, that it’s utilized in a nostalgic way like in the PS1/PS2/GameCube/360 days, and the game asks you to insert disc 2 to continue the story. That would be awesome! Plus, I don’t like the fact that I have to wait for an install for a game I physically own.
