They already said they were going to be significantly expanding on the story (largely to try and justify it being an episodic thing).

Trailer looks dope, but I loved 7 and I am basically on board for virtually anything they do in that universe. But god help me of shelke or whatever her name is from Dirge shows up I'm going to have a good tantrum.

i want them to reference as many EU stuff as possible, and i want one of the devs to put a bunch of poo poo in referencing the spirits within bc they too spent like 10 years thinking it was advent children's precurser

Spirits Within definitely works as a prequel for 7. It's events line up with what happens in the anchient past at the North Crater. I wonder if it's intended to be or just because square constantly reusing plot elements.

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.

Hi guys, my name is Yoko Taro and here are few proposed changes to FFVII script:

Aeris is a depraved sex addict
Zack didnt heroically sacrifice himself. He tried to finish Cloud off who was slowing him down but Cloud killed him instead.
Tifa sells alcohol to minors
Barret cut off his own arm so Dyne fell to his death
Vincent is fine
Yuffie dies when one of her scams backfire
Cid is a swearing wife beater

XIII inherits the earth as the only decent person

I assume this version has Cloud as an innocent, nice and good person, who's nonetheless put through a bunch of merciless emotional trauma.

Noctis post-crystal-stasis has an authority and gravitas to him that I really like (“Off my throne, jester. The King sits there.”) I just wish we’d gotten to see that evolution a bit more than “Noctis is absorbed by a crystal, now he is a man”.

That said, I also really enjoy the friends-forever-but-it’s-awkward vibe when you first reunite with the rest of the gang. They’ve lived through hell while Noctis slept and while they’re happy to see him return there’s also an unspoken tenseness in the air that I don’t think really lifts until you get the campfire flashback. Noctis’ VA really sells that scene, too.

Also, FFXV has a great soundtrack and I finally managed to get tickets to an upcoming Distant Worlds near me - I’m very much looking forward to hearing Apocalypsis Noctis played by a massive symphony orchestra.

everything about the ending that wasn't the campfire scene was confusing, rear end, or both though (except for noct in his final moments holding onto a picture of himself with a ramen cup for a head making a sexual "come hither" pose amongst the backdrop of a grocery store shelf, that was loving funny and i love the photography mechanic)

The photo I kept was one of Cindy. Made those last scenes so heartwarming.

The game better remember just how much so many characters, and also the world, just dunked on Cloud over and over and over.

The fact that they keep showing only the first 20 minutes of the game makes me worried that the entire thing will be only Midgar.

Unless they have been holding a lot back, or unless they plan on leaving 90% of the original game on the floor, I don't see how they can possibly ever finish the entire story. They can't spend a decade releasing FF7 episodes.

The production looks undeniably great but I think it was a huge mistake to go for this kind of cutting edge graphical quality and scope. The fact that the original game was made in like 15 months while Squaresoft was simultaneously figuring out how to make 3D game in any capacity is a really damning indictment of AAA development. I wonder about an alternate universe where FF7 got remade ten years ago on a sane budget by using fixed camera angle presentation like the original, with a more stylized visual approach that hewed closer to the game's original anime style designs-- rather than photorealism and open 3D environments.

Well according to this press release, it sounds like they have decided to release it in episodic parts after all. I haven't been following along too closely but I guess at some point they scrapped that idea, and now they are entertaining it again. More information available in June.

You'd have to have played a Compilation of Final Fantasy VII or Kingdom Hearts title to ever come in direct contact with that though. Those of use who haven't mostly remember getting in fights around 2002 about it sounding stupid and haven't really thought about it since.

Yoko Taro shares his version of the famous death scene:

Mind controlled by Sephiroth, Cloud forces Aeris on the ground and straddles her while slowly choking her dead.

Aeris finally got her moment with him. A voice inside her head echoes while she slowly passes out:

"You just want to **** Cloud"

I remember the arguments about this. I used to even participate in them, because I apparently had nothing better to do in college than argue over the names of dead video game women. They used to point to sumisu->smith as proof, and as a seven-year student of Japanese, I'd counter with kurisu->chris. And nothing of value was accomplished.

The game has to have a new translation. The original was incomprehensible. I enjoyed the game at the time, but never saw it as the be-all-end-all of the series. Fun combat, but the story was all over the place, and Cloud has to be the worst protagonist in a FF series. All he does is say, "..." and shrug.
