I will never say Aerith for as long as I shall live.

I hope the extended time in Midgar means we get to spend more time with AVALANCHE before they all get murked.

Carryover demos are popular with persistent world, always-online games but I don't think a single-player RPG would really qualify. I think it'll just be a demo.

Another reason why I'm guessing the demo will not carry over save data: I fully expect Square-Enix to be fine-tuning the sweat gleam on Barret's chest until midnight 3/3 and the demo version might already be incompatible with the final product.

I don't see why they pay voice actors all this money to make anime effort noises when they could just record my grandma trying to open a jar of pickles.

I played Final Fantasy VII with my friend who had a PS1 (I had the N64) over a series of weekends where I'd sleep over his house and we'd go through the story together. He would also play a little on his own and then call my house phone every night to recap the story from where we left off. It was a different time.

LiS is published by Square-Enix so that is more likely than you think!

Just got done playing the demo, I thought it was pretty cool. The combat system feels nice and it's basically FF7 as your 12-year old self remembers it. Seems like Avalanche will play a larger role in Act 1, which is cool because I liked them in the original game. I also appreciate Barret's enormously tryhard voice actor, who reads all his lines with the same intensity of someone who grew up playing FF7 and imagined what Barret would sound like.

Square is probably hoping to recoup their bazillion dollar investment through asset reuse so expect many playable flashbacks.

When they said that the first chapter of FF7R will be about the same length as FF13 do you think they meant it like you can blow through the entire story in 30 hours or mess around in Gran Midgar and take 60 hours to beat it.

The Aeris LIVES twist is just SO well-known and so iconic to the original game that it almost makes me think they�ll try to flip it a little, or at the very least try to catch you off guard with when it happens.

According to Eurogamer there are some (limited) dialogue options in the remake so I wonder if certain choices will carry over between chapters.

Yes, but even that didn't carry over your levels, items or skills. Not sure why anyone thinks this game will.

Your skills actually did carry directly into ME3, they opened up new evolutions for all the trees that extended past ME2.

If there�s one thing goons have shown it�s that people will unquestioningly pay for the same game many times, and in fact will complain if there are not enough ways to buy the same game over and over.

Final Fantasy has always been a global franchise and Japan's share of the home console market has been in steady decline for over a decade, so in that context FFXV probably did pretty well.

Your party gains gently caress-all action points whenever you're not the one controlling them so it's definitely not a game where you can sit back as Cloud and do your own thing, FFVII expects you to be swapping constantly and each character shown off so far appears to have their own gimmick.

If there are leaked copies of FFVII out there in the wild I'd probably advise against looking up any FF-related youtubes for the next couple weeks as your recommended feed will fill up with spoilerific FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE TIFA MAKES OUT WITH AERITH'S GHOST titles.

I suspect it would be weirder if you played the game once 23 years ago and then forgot or half-remembered all the plot details since then as you'll be constantly second-guessing yourself.

Why would you be surprised that the game is good. It's a remake of what is already a very good game, some might even say one of the best RPGs ever made.

The more surprising thing is that it even came out to begin with.

After Blizzard showed just how easy it is to completely destroy a "sure thing" with Warcraft III: Reforged, everyone realized that remakes are not actually a "sure thing" and got worried.

I think the venn diagram of people who were really invested in the War3 remake and FF7 are limited to like, me and you. I don't think they have much to do with each other.

I just bought the Regular Edition for this game because while I have some nostalgia for FFVII, I don't got 20 extra bux of cactuar nostalgia.
