This has been known for years.
Excited to see part one. Still hoping they drop a demo this year...
I also think that one of the announcements of today will concern the announcement of a potential demo for the game
Hope they won't make it a tunnel game like FFXIII. That's not an option for me!It’s probably a good thing the full world map exploration via the Highwind will be saved for PS5. They better make that happen, and it better be amazing. I’m imaging Just Cause open word tech with the highwind fully controllable and no load times. And Knights of the Round better be wayyyyyyy off and hard as hell to get to.
There is no mention in the office press release that what's releasing on march 3rd is simply part one. I have a feeling plans changed and we are getting the entire game, albeit... a more streamlined and cut version of it

Don't do this man... my heart is racing too fast already...
I also think there will be a PSN demo.
Not gonna happen. Even SE isn't dumb enough to do something like this.
"Here's the FF7 remake you've all been asking for for literally decades now. You'll notice there's no Fort Condor, Gongaga, or Kalm, the Huge Materia arc has been removed completely, there are no playable minigames in the Gold Saucer, all the underwater bits are gone, the world map is just a menu like FFX, Chocobo breeding is out, and we've reduced Tifa's bust by 45%."
Why does this game seem to play like FFXV...one of the worse games in all of Final Fantasy?
People who love Final Fantasy VII also love turn based ATB bar combat.
At least the story will be there...but, I'd much rather have it stay as true to the original as possible, just overhaul the graphics and cinematics.
Ugh, not liking their portrayal of Jessie, trying to make her too much like Biggs or like some adrenaline junkie. More so, I'm a bit confused by that Aeris and Cloud scene and saving her. Is it during the slums part of the story?
I fell in love with FFVII for the story and world first, and the gameplay was a fun second. Ever since I saw Advent Children I have wanted to play an Action based remake of the game in vivid detail.Why does this game seem to play like FFXV...one of the worse games in all of Final Fantasy?

We are dinosaurs it seems my friend. Now everything has to be simple, one button based action and with easy level.Why does this game seem to play like FFXV...one of the worse games in all of Final Fantasy?

Huh? There's a single line of dialogue of her asking "You think he's a keeper?" How are you getting this?
This release will end when you leave midgar, right? So that leaves 90% of the game left to make...
This episodic remake will never be completed.
Oh Jesus. FF VII has the most brain dead simple and straightforward combat there is. Get off your high horse.We are dinosaurs it seems my friend. Now everything has to be simple, one button based action and with easy level.
Our generation couldn't beat Contra, now people have problem finishing Assassins Creed
I would love that, but I guess we will find out tonight.Why do people keep saying this? Did I miss something?
The original game already had a nice break point in the disc 1 - 2 transition, wouldn’t it make sense for the remake episodes to be split that way?
It's just unbalanced. Have you beaten Ruby and Emerald?Oh Jesus. FF VII has the most brain dead simple and straightforward combat there is. Get off your high horse.
If by “unbalanced” you mean “piss easy except for 2 super boss fights” then yeah it’s unbalanced.It's just unbalanced. Have you beaten Ruby and Emerald?

man i remember the good old days when you fought in FFVII like a real man by leaving the cursor on the word "Fight" and hitting "X", nowadays people only have to hold down "X". sad, really...
Because I remember the dialogue from FFVII on PS1 and I'm basing it on what dialogue we've gotten so far. She was always more reserved, from the first scene in the game with her. While Biggs is the one approaching and talking to Cloud, she's doing the tech work and only speaking this to Biggs when Cloud being Soldier is brought up: "... Soldier? They're the enemy....?" "Why would a Soldier join Avalanche?". At that point Cloud also just brushes them off and says this is just a one-time thing and doesn't bother with names. Avalanche is supposed to be the amateur eco-terrorists, while Cloud is the professional having to deal with them as amateurs. That's without considering the later interactions, that hammers the context of how Jessie is as a character. Nor does it make sense in the context of what Cloud is actually there as.
FFVII has tons of subtle character portrayals and that's why tons of dialogue that deviate from the character portrayals is worrying. Now, I might be over exaggerating (she might be different in the Japanese script) and I'll be happy to be proved wrong, but I'm always vary when Nomura is doing a remake.
Fighting both requires mostly strategy my dear friend....Oh shit that's right. Yeah I'd like to think they'll go into more detail about how this is gonna go down now that they've given it a release date.
Hmm...if they wanna really tweak that nostalgia bone, they'll do it in three episodes to tie it back to the original game's three discs (plus the thought of SE trying to make something with more than three episodes sounds like a disaster to me). But disc 3 of the original game is little more than the final dungeon and whatever sidequests you might not have finished. So those break points would have to be adjusted I guess.
Don't most of the strategies for those two fights involve more cheesing the system than actual skill and strategy? Vaguely remember having to leave two party members dead to have a chance against Ruby Weapon.
It's even worse than that; back in my time we had to wait for a bar to fill up before we could press X. Kids these days are just pressing X whenever they goddamn well please. Fucking travesty.
All they’ve shown in trailers so far is the opening hour or two of the original game. We should know pretty fast into the show how much we are getting here.. I’m hyped either way, by the heavens this thing is real!Oh shit that's right.

I wouldn't do that to her if I were them....

Nope unless you suck and have to, also knowing that you have to enter with two death allies to have a easier time falls under strategy.

Confession: I've never beat Ruby weapon without miming KoTR.
you could actually hold down O in FF VII and it would immediately select attack when your turn came up
Sorry if that takes away some of the cerebral challenge of FF VII’s combat, but that secret really helped some of my sub-150 IQ colleagues to cope with the enormous complexity.
Didn't they made ps4 users wait 1 year for the Tomb Raider game?Man Square Enix can fuck off with their timed exclusive releases...
Its the same with all other FF games besides FF15 this gen...
And then they have the balls to ask for full price on Xbox after releasing all their PS2 ports a year later...
Pathethic company.

I just started a playthrough of the PC version heavily modded. No more chibi models 60fps, better animations, increased difficulty, etc. Looks good enough that the only draw of this release is gone for me. The rest of this package is unappealing. Episodic, real time battles are both a non starter for me. If they had put an evolved version of FFX-2s battle system with materia rather than jobs I would be on board even if episodic.
Pretty much my thoughts as well.FF7s combat system was pretty bad. Never used 80% of the summons you get. Only used magic occasionally to mix things up out of boredom. One can mash X with occasional heals through the vast majority of fights. Allowing movement in the field of battle will mix things up, hopefully some environmental stuff going on, along with strategies for dealing with enemies that are high up or low (i.e. switching to Barrett to shoot someone up on a railing was cool).
