Final Fantasy 7 remake's combat will have "dramatic changes"

Many of us want graphical improvements, being able to wander around an interactive Midgar or full 3d environments but in order for it to feel and be like FF7 it would have to have the same gameplay, else what is it? FF games are like FF games because of the gameplay, not the story. You could put that exact same story, characters and setting in any gameplay style but we didn't like it for that we liked it because it was FF. Would you play FF7 remake if it looked and played like Skyrim?

That's exactly what I'm talking about, people are immediately assuming the worst, who in the world is talking about making it like Skyrim? And the remake does not need to have the exact same gameplay to feel like FF7 because FF games are not like FF games because of one set specific type of gameplay, if that was the case then FF combat wouldn't have been undergoing changes for ages, which has always been pretty much accepted up until FF XIII.

The game doesn't come out until 2017 at best and Final Fantasy on console in 2017 does not have to be 2 groups standing in front of each other and taking turns hitting each other until one group is dead and if SE are looking to modernize that, then I say let them take a shot at it.

But instead of keeping an open mind you have people saying things like "It's going to have different combat? Then I'm not going to buy it. Fuck you SE for ruining this" without knowing literally anything about how this is going to be changed and that is mindboggling to me.
