They should have given it to the Lightning Returns team, so we could dress Cloud in pretty dresses for the entire game.

Clean up the script, reframe some scenes and shorten a few, add some modern QoL features, clarify that materia swap exists and owns, add some bonus bosses from the extended FFVII universe, don't gently caress up the music.

There is no way the combat system isn't getting redone. I could bet money it's an active combat system kingdom hearts style. Which honestly the game needs.

I'd like to believe they will also keep Barret posing in his sailor's costume in the bathroom and shouting "there's someone in here" if you try and enter.

There's bound to be a bunch of other scenes that are gonna get changed to some degree, since stuff that was ok in low polygons aren't gonna fly as well in modernized graphics. Crossdressing Cloud is the funny example, Cloud losing his mind and punching Aerith, not as funny.

Like hopefully the game has a kingdom hearts style active battle system.

That's a terrible idea. Kingdom hearts has a garbage battle system.

That monologue over the remake trailer was less comprehensible than anything in the original game. Fingers crossed for 70+ hours of dueling purple prose. Cait Sith is always reciting Macbeth in the background.

Remember that time FFX absolutely nailed turn-based combat in a way that was different from ATB while retaining a faster pace than Dragon Quest poo poo, and then they totally discarded it?

it works out well enough since the animations are fast as hell, but i don't think ffx even approaches the best what you can do with a turn based system

And in any case FF's focus on loud and flashy makes it very difficult to be faster than DQ's simpler presentations.

Nah FF7's translation is one where people always bring up the "so bad it's endearing" lines like this guy are sick but nobody mentions the vast majority of the translation just being kinda shoddy (constantly messing up a/an, etc.)

I can't avoid filling a game with awful memes, even if I want to. It's in my bones...!

Evil Fluffy posted:

Except the didn't have a "rally solid" past couple of years. The big thing that gave them a good 2014 is that FF14 managed an unprecedented come back that nobody expected and it's gone from "oh gently caress we might go bankrupt again and need to merge with another company to ruin" to " YoshiP and his team can do no wrong."

Except... they have. FFXIV's been the star of the show, sure, but pretty much every single release they've made, in Japan and overseas, in the past two years has met or beaten expectations.

I know it feels weird to say because we've gotten so used to them being fuckups, but Square's gone from strength to strength for basically the entire duration of this console generation so far. Whatever FFVIIRe may be, it isn't a desperation move. It's capitalizing on success and giving tons of fans (really, fans outside this thread/forum) what they've been begging for for years.

This is getting kind of recriminatory, though, so I'll drop it. I really don't think this is desperate Square, though.

You want to know what I'm salty about, I'm salty over the fact that VII gets the HD PS4 remake treatment and VI gets that cellphone port. Man, Square, f you. :mad:)

Yeah, I dunno where the 'desperate SE' stuff comes from, unless I guess you're focused entirely on FFXV and nothing else.
