That's a long time to brace your anus for. I for one can't wait for the plethora of belts and zippers.

On the other hand if Amano got his hands on the art direction, FF7 would end up looking like the drat Bayeux Tapestry.

It's been a long time since Dirge of Cerberus and Kingdom Hearts II. I thought Nomura had mostly gotten out of that phase.

Isn't Fort Condor just a proto tower defense game? Game developers love those, of course it'll stay in.

In all seriousness, Nomura's character design is a loving travesty but it isn't like they're going to allow someone to just redesign the cast because Nomura can't stop fapping over anime and belts.

If they started the development of remake as soon as 7 was released it would still be releasing in 2020. I'm sure all minigames are out. except chocobo breeding maybe. Honestly i'm not sure the new version will leave midgar.

nehezir posted:*sigh* this is why I say Yoshi-P's Team and the Ivalice Squad are the only good teams left in FF. Yeah but between Game of Thrones/LOTR/vikings and all the other medieval-themed content being churned out there isn't much of a need for that kind of weird Quasi-Tudor-Victorian mashup style that particular universe has going on.

The team of Kitase/Nomura/Nojima made FFVII and FFX, both good games. FFX's character designs were lacking in many respects but I recall nothing bad about FFVII's. Each design serves its purpose very well.

Sora's new design in KH3 only has a single zipper and it is utter bullshit. I hope he is simply saving them all for the FF7 remake.

FFVII actually has really good character design. You look at each character, and you know almsot instantly what they're about. I mean, just look at Aeris: she's got the classic Staff Chick look, but with big ugly practical boots. That tells you a lot about her right there. Or look at Hojo: you know right away that this dude is creepy and bad news.

They edited out the guard beating Celes in the FF6 Advance port. I actually can't see that going. If you take it as read that one of the fundamental themes of the game is mental illness, it's completely on point. Dark, sure, but totally thematically appropriate as an interaction.

On the other hand, there are probably better ways to convey mental illness than a dude freaking out and beating the poo poo out of a woman and a friend. It's one thing to have that with cartoony Popeye-arm models, but imagine that same scene with super-realistic high-definition models instead.

I had already been spoiled on Aeirith's death, but I had no idea about the scene where Cloud beats her up. It was a pretty drat shocking moment and stuck with me more than the death scene. The fact that it was Tifa who had to knock Cloud out to stop him made it even more memorable to me. What I'm saying is it should be left in even if it's uncomfortable.

Whether it should be left in is of course irrelevant to whether it will be left in. That's dependent on what rating they want the game to have. And like I said, considering they already removed a similar scene in FF6, I doubt it will stay. I agree that it's a good scene even if it depicts something terrible.

It's been a long time since I've played FF7 and I totally forgot that Cloud beats up Aeris. Aside from thinking he's someone else, going nuts and smacking people around and winding up a drooling vegetable in a wheelchair, the one thing that tells you that Cloud is really crazy is that he has the hots for Aeris instead of Tifa "Tits McGee" Lockheart.

I just want to know what was the green thing that Bugenhagen stood/sat on. Was it a materia or a workout ball chair? Or a workout ball chair that was also a functioning materia? On other news, Yoichi Wada is no longer with Square-Enix. On his facebook, he revealed that he continued to work on a contract basis with the company after his removal as CEO. Now, he has officially left the company. He will continue to serve as President of Shinra Industries (Ha!) and as a board member on Metaps. He's understandably a controversial figure for his rise to power and direction for the company but he did a lot of good things for Square-Enix in meeting new challenges. Many of the changes we've seen under CEO Matsuda were actually initiated by Wada. For example, Wada was the one who pushed to have international talent work in their Japanese studios to improve the quality and global appeal of their games. NikkolasKing posted:It's been a long time since Dirge of Cerberus and Kingdom Hearts II. I thought Nomura had mostly gotten out of that phase.  Never forget. NikkolasKing posted:The team of Kitase/Nomura/Nojima made FFVII and FFX, both good games. FFX's character designs were lacking in many respects but I recall nothing bad about FFVII's. Each design serves its purpose very well. Looking at past few years, this collaboration soon becomes a real dream team comprised of the guy who brought you the FFXIII trilogy, the guy who forgot how to make AAA games for ten years, and the guy who wrote a short story about Tidus blowing himself up by catching a blitzball that was actually a bomb monster. In all seriousness, development of big AAA games is more about the ability of management to guide a large team to a shared goal than it is about the individual accomplishments of its talent. During the previous generation, we found out that a lot of Square-Enix's old talent was not immune to technical hurdles, the changing tastes of consumers, the difficulties of managing a large team, or the immense pressure of making a guaranteed hit when your game cost tens of millions to make. Many of Square-Enix's better games were on handhelds where budget and technical restrictions allowed them to take risks and be creative with smaller teams. The people who managed to ship generally well-received AAA titles were the ones that were honest about the challenges they faced and communicated regularly with their fans in improving their product, such Naoki Yoshida and Hajime Tabata. Hopefully, the FF7 remake development team is just as open with their fans.

It looks like you've forgotten more than just that, because Cloud is pretty aloof when it comes to Aeris. And Aeris only likes him because he reminds her of her ex-boyfriend Tifa likes him, but she has serious codependency issues and lies about pretty much everything that happened between them. The only other chick who likes him is a kleptomaniac teenager. Bitches be crazy.

One of the first things Cloud does after they escape the Church is tease her about her lack of stamina and they both laugh about it.
