Whatever. I don't really care to be honest. The story is good and these are characters from my childhood so I will gladly play through it one more time with new graphics and new gameplay. I don't want exact copy of old game, I can play that any time.

Overworlds were created because of technical limitations, even the developers didn't want them at the time - if they have one here it'll just show they're no better than Nintendo and really are making a jew move rather than making an actually good product.
>>
>>319524306
It really all depends on how they want to handle it. The only reason to have a world map is for the Highwind and Chocobos. They were iconic. Changing it to a bunch of interconnected set pieces means that Chocobos would be cut and given what they said about making sure not to cut as much as possible. I doubt this will be the case.
>>
>>319525908
>Chocobos would be cut without an overworld

Yup, just like in FF10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15. I really miss them!

I feel like the devs figured "yeah sure let's remake FF7" and then made the Midgar footage

and are rapidly backpedaling and running damage control on the fact they are only now just realizing exactly what the fuck they've signed up for

Having shit like that in game was a fucking novelty back then. It was a selling point to people. Since it was never done before no one was thinking about how long the animation is and how slow it made the battles.

It's so easy to spot the FF15 kids.

>>319526386
By JRPG standards? At the time, yes, now? Not really. A lot of JRPGs reach 80+ in a normal not even 100% run, over a hundred if you want to do everything, and some of those - for example, Xenosaga's trilogy, are "episodic" like this and each game is about 80 hours long.

FF7 is an average length and average content game by the standards of PS2 and on.

Final Fantasy devs didn't have a clue about how massive a 'realistic sized' gameworld would be. No jRPG or wRPG have ever come closer--I guess the Witcher 3 tried with Novigrad.

I mean, a realistic-scope Midgar alone would be big enough to fill your average shallow bethshit sandbox game AND THEN SOME.

Meanwhile Bethesda's capital city of Skyrim was 4 fucking buildings and an outhouse, Population: 5.

RPG developers have always relied on the gamer to fill in the gameworld using their imagination.

Just let it go. Good games in the 90s were only made because of technical limitations, even the developers never wanted them to be good. Fortunately the technology has advanced enough for us to finally enjoy shitty $120 episodic "cinematic action" games. Stop clinging to the past, nostalgiafag.

>>319527772
>>319527645
This is the back of an actual original FF7 case. You wouldn't know because you have never seen one.

If you think that there was an FF8 preview ready the day FF7 came out, you are beyond fucking stupid.
>>
>>319524306
to be optimistic rather than cynical for once, it's either a Type-0/Dissidia 0012 style world map, or maybe since the numerous areas of the world map are condoned off thanks to various mountain passes, towns, caves and otherwise, that they could make each region explorable in its own right

.. yeah, nah, probably just the PSP game style overworld
>>
>>319525986
People keep saying this and I can't help but feel one of two things: you're either a person who has never played the game and thinks the 6 hour long games now were always standard or you're a person who did play it however you haven't touched any JRPG besides final fantasy.
>>
Remember that some parts of the overworld are inaccessible until later in the game this is the excuse they'll use when it comes to saving data and making it episodic
>>
>>319527937
>disc got pressed a few months later
>i-it doesn't count!
Sure thing, kiddo. The PAL version was released several months after the US release (thanks, Yurop), so yeah, we got the FFVIII preview pretty soon after that.
>>
>>319528084
>you haven't touched any JRPG besides final fantasy.

this is a really, really, really bad argument to try to make. Because while JRPGs are typically long, they are also typically pure trash, that you cannot get into if you are not okay with immersing yourself in the unchanging japan-ness of them.

FF7 was a great game that, like the back of the box above says, exceeded its competitors. It was something of a minor cultural phenomenon in the West even. Other JRPGs being long doesn't mean a damn thing, because they suck, with their weebed out designs, horrible characters, bad music, and 1/10 writing.

FF7 was pretty weeb, but it had an equal amount of counter-weeb going on with it as well. I think the creepy Lovecraftian story balanced it out. Jenova is seriously one of the best and most interesting BBE's I've seen in any game.
>>
The game wasn't as absolutely enormous as some people make it out to be. Infact it was filled with a bit of padding like a lot of JRPGs, as well as revisiting older areas that may of been tweaked or had new rooms / portions available like Junon. If anything, the world map basically served as one giant excuse to create a bunch of disconnected towns, areas and dungeons easily that they could throw all sorts of unique content into. Dungeons literally vary between three or four screens long, and being comparable to the SNES games in terms of a multitude of areas to go through - but usually unless there was a puzzle or extra goodies out of the way, they were often pretty damn linear for cinematic value that the SNES games could never pull off.
>>
>>319528297
It isn't weeb at all. Japan wasn't rolling in this new cultural phase of absolute sameness until about the year 2002.

you can see the progression though... cloud is like 10% weeb

then squall is 50% weeb

This is a different guy from me who is being a shitter. I have the PAL version with three disks.

FFVII was really good in certain ways, but was otherwise thoroughly underwhelming. It was nowhere near as freeform or interactive as I had hoped. It was only on playing Ocarina of Time and Baldur's Gate that I actually experienced games that to me, live up to the kind of reputation VII had gathered, and provided experiences impressive enough to truly awe me. I hope the remake is able to actually meet the expectations I originally had for it.

I don't doubt that their patented laziness set in once they announced it but I think the real culprit is lack of patience. They know no matter what this is going to sell and they don't want to wait 4-5 years to release it, instead they want to push it out in pieces as soon as they can to start collecting money sooner.

Hence, why I said "only on playing". Those games came out later, and offered far richer and more immersive experiences. FFVII was a very rigid, game with piecemeal constructed systems mashed together, instead of the unified, highly interactive worlds offered by the above mentioned games.

you're comparing a game designed for a 30mhz processor with a game designed for a 133mhz processor. you can't expect ps1 games to provide the "varied experience" you'd get from something like BG, it wasn't possible.

I get what you're trying to say but it isn't very important. The game of this era to me was Quake, not FF7, but it doesn't make FF7 less legendary to me.

To the games credit I think it may actually be a lie. The opening, ending, midway point where all hell breaks lose are the only CG scenes of any length. Pretty sure all are less than 5 minutes or 1/5th a MGS codec conversation. Most of the rest were quick transitions to highlight a scene or area.

Because Sephiroth got literally made out of Jenova cells.
In a way, he's a clone of Jenova. Unlike all the people who were experimented on that had Jenova cells injected into them long after birth, Sephiroth was literally made out of Hojo's sperm mixed with Jenova cells.

Are underagers really this stupid? Do you really think that back in the 90's we were playing PS1 saying "wow, these graphics are pretty bad. I wish this looked more like the games in the future". The game was amazing for it's time. The fact that you think the game in it's original state is bad, proves that you're underage.

>The game was amazing for it's time.

The art quality of the backgrounds was very very high, pretty much unseen.

The realtime 3d wasn't impressive at the time. Even other PS1 games looked better. Quake, a game released 6 months earlier, blew it away. Not really a fair comparison though..John Carmack's prime vs japs

Gackt has officially said that Squall was inspired by him and Nomura never denied it
Apparently Gackt looked like Squall before the official announcement of FFVIII

They really shouldve just continued making handheld remakes.

It wouldnt look amazing, but it would look nice enough compared to FF7 itself.
These handheld remakes generally keep most of the core gameplay the same and then tweak things to make a bit more sense.

We generally wouldnt see as many retarded changes.

Squall's design was inspired by River Phoenix, mate. He's literally the least "weeb" FF protag of them all.

I didn't even mention the bloody graphics, though it doesn’t surprise me that that's the first thing you brought up. Tomb Raider had better gameplay, was more immersive and had much more interesting level design, but you folks don't care about details like that now do you? You need to stop acting like it blew anything out of the water gameplay wise. I'm even going to be gracious and not compare it directly to the games that came out the year after for now.

>Q: Where did the inspiration for the characters in The Bouncer come from? It was rumored that the inspiration for Squall was based loosely on Tetsuya Nomura himself.

Gackt can think whatever he wants.

It should've been on par with FF4 PSP.

There's a universe where an FF7 remake ended up being like this and selling like hotcakes.

The remake will have the overworld map changed into something like FFXII and FFXIII LR. And i don't mind that. The only exploration will be in cities/towns. Screencap this.

It's pretty obvious that Squall's face and hair were inspired by River Phoenix but his clothes are blatantly copy-pasted from Gackt.

Open world are usually in 1:1 scale or imitate such.
World maps are obviously in a fucking huge scale ratio and don't take gorillion years to travel.

It's the only possible way. And you know it. The game will be a lot more like ME where you can keep your exp/items/lvl going further through the episodes, and SE gonna have some tough time balancing the monsters

Either a coincidence or Gackt himself got "inspired" by Squall. FFVIII was unveiled in early 1998, with the designs already finalized.

Even Squall's earliest design from 1997 has the same clothes.

yeah, nor will it have a good battle system nor will it have the great materia system of before nor will it have many great scenes that it once had.

I've given up on that remake.
>>
>>319535560

It will have a better battle system by default

no main series FF game has done turn based combat right

even then, I'll take a average TB battle system over a mindless action one
>>
>>319524306
What if it was completely open world instead?
>>
>>319526092
eh, its more about the fact that its one of the few 70 hour games where there was so much detail poured into almost all of it. Very little of the side content is completely useless unlike so many other games.

The reason it even needed 3 cds was because of the fmv file sizes. You were still able to visit every area in the game despite which disc you used so long as you been to that area before for story reasons. Fuck off

>anything but mindless
You do exactly the same three things as in the action battle systems (attack, heal, use strongest magic), except without any positioning, parrying or skill, plus everything is arbitrarily slowed down.
>>
>>319536241
and the solution is to improve the existing TB battle system, not throw the baby out with the bathwater in favor of an action one
Why can't you squeenix drones get this through your fucking heads?
Or do you actually think the action combat will be anything other than button mashing eye candy?
>>
>>319525957
3 CDs that all come with 1 purchase and all having the entire game data on each one of them with the exception of FMVs which were the reason why game was divided into discs.

Whoosh

>>319536458
They've had 24 years to "improve" it. Maybe it's time to admit that ATB is fundamentally shit and other battle systems do strategy and/or skill-based gameplay better.

Its not.
I think its funny how people who dont like FF demand changes to the core gameplay formula.

Its just like devs making things for the CoD audience.

to be honest there's nothing wrong with the Steam version. they've fixed the soundtrack with patches and you get better looking models by default, with the ability to play the default shitty looking graphics if you want. and you get a cheat thing that lets you max out a few things.

im enjoying it, havent played VII before so im trying to pretend i have nostalgia goggles and think "wow this was groundbreaking back then".
>>
>>319538250
I'd take that over Japanese dubstep.

>>319538250

As long as they don't pull a FF10 HD on it I'm ok.

At least with the AC OST they showed they understood the original material and did it justice. It's maybe a bit too heavy for a game but it shows hope that someone at SE knows what they were doing. I'm really excited to hear the whole OST redone, we get remixes/remakes of a few key songs but there are so many that get ignored.
