the first 2 bits about World Of and KH games all sounds good, I wonder when we'll see KH3 but considering it KH, I expect 2022.

Yet on the FF7 bits, it's not looking good. Remake should be a remake, not change to what we know. "If it had past materials like Kingdom Hearts, the basics would have been easy to understand..."... So not FF7, it's KH again?

Come on SquEnix, you have to realise at some point FF gameplay is what people want not KH.

Yet in the passage above he mentions the idea that fans of the the game wanted the ATB in it then the word 'but'. This to me translates as we are ignoring those people's wishes. This remake sounds worse and worse as time goes on because I honestly don't feel that SquEnix or the developers get it. Many people didn't want a remake of FF7 to be different, just better graphically because when it was first released, with it's chibi like characters, different charactr models for combat, exploration and some FMVs it didn't flow as well as it could. They wanted a graphical upgrade to basically play FF7 but have it look like FF13 (which ignoring the substandard FF gameplay was a great looking game).

 

Now watched as people start saying to me, "if you want turn based you can play World of" or "atb is old" or some stuff and not realising that while FF7 had a great story what made it playable was the gameplay, change that and it's not the same game.

These vague details about FF7R has only lowered my expectations time after time. My ideal FF7R would have been like Resident Evil Remake. Some new twists here and there but keep the foundations intact. Resident Evil Remake has now officially confirmed twice, that there is nothing wrong with the "old" gameplay. It just seems Square-Enix just don't get it and keeps spoon-feeding this Advent Children vision yet again.

 

"Recently, we checked the Guard Scorpion at the beginning of the game, and I think you’ll be satisfied with the realism you’ll feel there.”

 

sigh...realism, why? I just get the feeling Nomura thinks FF7R will be better with more realism and that's just...fuck it

I know, right? I mean, the original game let Sephiroth destroy the solar system more than once. People loved FF 7 for the summon animations. I have a feeling the summons will be flashy, but won't have the same impact as the old ones.

I don't understand how he'll be able to satisy both action and turn based fans. Actions fans want a game that gives them thrill. Turn based fans want strategic action. I hope, if this game is sucessfully, will lead to a Xenogears remake!
