Final Fantasy 7 Remake thread (including gameplay trailer)

mmhm, once they have the visuals and systems up and running i think development is gonna pick up speed really quick, so focusing on the bombing mission to test out everything will help them in the long run

Time was absorbed by Zelda, but some info came out.

"The above is a look at a gameplay screenshot that was revealed at MAGIC 2017 last month. It shows Cloud taking cover from fire, but Nomura says while there may be some maps that allows you to take such actions, it won’t be a necessity. This screenshot was mostly to show that it is seamless and there are various actions you’ll get to take according to the areas." - in relation to the last image posted with Cloud taking cover behind a metal box.

"Again, the Guard Scorpion’s map will have parts that are destructible, and the battle will be a flashy one that consists of numerous attacks that weren’t in the original version. Nomura says that if you look closely, you can even see a bunch of missiles being launched in the Guard Scorpion fight."

In other words there will be destructible environments and environment based actions even in the middle of combat.

"We’ll have to talk about the ATB and skill on another occasion. As for Materia, we can say that it’s something like a skill. It’s different from magic, and you can use it when a Materia that has effects that are usable in battle are set."

"Rather than just settling with a scaffold, the battle will take advantage of its space and the map’s characteristics, where you’ll get to switch between Cloud and Barret in the fight. For example, when there are enemies that are in places that can’t be reached by Cloud’s sword, it’ll be more effective to switch to Barret, so there’s a bit of strategy at play there. The Guard Scorpion also changes its mode during battle, and it’ll also show some behavior that wasn’t in the original version. You might have gotten an idea for that by seeing missiles falling down in the screenshot. It’s shaping up to be a very flashy battle."

"While I can’t say much in detail about this now, gunners will have elements that are characteristic to gunners."

Some more information about Materia and Barret. I'm guessing 'Magic' is its own command and Materia will be things like Deathblow and Steal. Or perhaps it's a sub-menu to toggle modifier Materia's like Cover, Counter, or All.


The UI isn't complete and the FFXV UI changed numerous times over development, but I expect the FFVIIR UI won't change that much, personally speaking.

Alright guys we finally have some new images.

It's all just artwork. These pictures weren't allowed to be taken, but someone sneaked them anyways.

Tetsuya Nomura's gotta get in on everything, doesn't he? :3

Is it just me, or is that definitely not Steve Burton as Cloud?

It probably is Steve Burton. People wanted a younger sounding Cloud, and this is likely him, just using his voice a little differently than usual.

They'd have no reason to replace George Newbern I would think. Maybe they just made him use a little more range, since we'll be hearing Sephiroth a whole lot more than we're used to.

I believe it was stated in an article from a couple years ago that their voice actors are indeed the returning Steve Burton & George Newbern... and yeah, sure, their voices could have more range than previously expected, but I think I'll wait to see some re-confirmation of voice actors.

I'm sure it'll be refreshing to hear Cloud with a relatively cheerier tone to his voice.
