I was talking to a friend about FF7 remake, and there's really only one way it'll match the hype for me. I want them to completely retool the battle system to be more in line with Crisis Core/Kingdom Hearts/FF15

See, and doing this is actually the only thing they could do to make me *not* buy the game.

But this is exactly what they're going to do, so hey, you should be happy.

At the very least, I doubt they'd make huge sweeping changes. Probably gonna keep the core mechanics and spice up the battlefield a bit, probably with an FFXIII style move around the battlefield kind of thing.

Now how they'd do certain boss battles, that's a question. Just have you jump up and slash Ruby in the face, or is it just gonna be hacking away at his ankles?

Was there ever a way to actually influence how characters moved in that game?

It just seemed kind of dumb to me to have AoE attacks in a game where you can't control where your own character moves to, but maybe I missed something.

Enemies would usually fight as a pack so AoE attacks are pretty useful for that kind of thing. I don't see much in the way of change beyond making fights look a bit more dynamic and fixing up some balance stuff and hopefully adding a skip animation option so I never have to see 18 minute long Knights of the Round beyond the first time ever again.

I mostly was concerned with AoE attacks being used against you though.

It just would seem a little silly to me to take damage suddenly because Lightning just had to walk into an attack for no reason.

That's true, some of the flashier attacks from FF7 would look really sick in full-on PS4 graphics.

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
Gamespot has an article up on how Re-VII might deviate from the original

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/final-fantasy-7-remake-s-story-could-deviate-from-/1100-6428247/

So crossdressing in, but the game may deviate.

FF8 didn't have the main villain's goal be a suicide by cop that would destroy the universe, with the party gleefully trying to kill the the villain while just hoping really hard it wouldn't end all of existence. Zell didn't randomly turn into a Hot Dog God either after betraying everyone either.

that's the thing, there's a lot of really good spectacle moments in ff7 that looked fantastic back in the day and are going to look totally insane on a modern system. ff7 doesn't have the deepest mechanics anyway, a lot of the game's about the spectacle and that's going to be top loving notch

Oh gently caress, KotR in the style of FF XV Ramuh, the PS4 will die.

Also, with the amount of silly things people tend to get stuck upon I wish the next teaser would be Cloud and co. looking all morose in the post-plate falling sector VII and Cloud looks around at the HD carnage, shoulders his sword and says "Let's mosey". I wonder how many pro-orders that would cause.

No, that would've actually made FFVIII's story interesting.

The plot of FF13 is what happened when Motomu Toriyama watched the TV show Lost and said "I'm going to make a Final Fantasy game like this".

Keep the story as sparse as possible and don't burden it with frequent 10-minute cutscenes where the older game just had 30 seconds of dialogue boxes.

Keep the materia system more or less as-was at least as far as the fancy combos.

Make parachuting into Midgar a pilotwings-esque minigame.

I am prepared to give you my money in approximately 3 years.

Excellent points, there are many scenes that still leave an impression, to think of seeing them redone in HD - it'd be like seeing FFX for the first time all over again.
