It would be really interesting to see how they'd restructure the game world if they did that.

I mean would anyone really mind if they went that route? We've all already explored the world map at least once. Kind of takes away the whole point of exploration.

If anything it'd make the Midgar Zolom run on foot/on chocobo that much more of an adrenaline rush with a huge realistic looking serpent rushing through the marsh to attack you.

Would anyone mind if they changed a significant feature of a classic JRPG into something that is very commonly complained about in recent JRPGs? I'm thinking yes.

What, there are people who don't yet suspect that they're only re-releasing VII to build hype for VII-2, Barret and Tifa's Excellent Adventure and VII-3, Aerith Returns?

Oh yeah but physically Barret looks... not Barret.

Obviously a problem with adapting hyperdeformed characters to a realistic style, but they just failed to get Barret at all.

They did say that they were going to change parts of the game, right? I know it won't happen, but I'm secretly hoping they just say "gently caress it, we have two years and the main storyline is done. Let's just add in a new mode where you just fight against Shinra the whole game. No Sephiroth, no Jenova, just Avalanche going around blowing up reactors and fighting against the Turks and Shinra. That'll blow the long-time fan's minds."

That's actually a pretty cool idea. I could see people doing speedruns of it if it was short enough. As in, instead of the 30 or so hours it takes to beat the main game (going off of my first playthrough), only have it take about 8-10 for the first playthrough of...I guess we could call it Reactor Attack? (this is a stupid name, i know)

Or after loving with the reactors in Midgar, the president and Rufus escape by helicopter and the party leaves Midgar to try to sabotage Shinra's other operations. Have a section where you have to infiltrate the army base in Junon to sabotage the mako cannon, stop the mako infusion experiments in Nibelheim... Really, you could pretty much just re-write the first disc or so of the game, keep Aeris alive, possibly involve Wutai in the plot, have the final dungeon be the return to Midgar and the final assault on Shinra's HQ before they can fire the Sister Ray and destroy Wutai.

Oh, and have the end of the Kalm flashback be:
Tifa: Cloud... You weren't at Nibelheim when that happened. The man that was there with Sephiroth had black hair and was named Zack.
Cloud: Yes I was. I mean, just because I wasn't a SOLDIER 1st class and just a regular soldier doesn't mean I wasn't there. After the town burned down Zack and I left Shinra and travelled the world for a few years. Last time I saw Zack was in Wutai. He decided to help rebuild town and gave me his sword to remember him by.

I hope they up the vicious terrorist acts you perform in Midgar. A constant stream of NPCs talking about their friends dead and you feel awful for targeting innocents all the time.

Yoko Taro technically works for Square-Enix, so they do have an expert in having the player do horrible things and making them aware of it on board. Maybe SE will be able to save money by sharing assets of burning children between this and Nier 2!

Seems like it's the same people that did the other spin-offs, except Crisis Core. So it's not looking all that great.
