Square Enix have seemingly not learned at all from their previous (and upcoming) releases in the Final Fantasy franchise, as the latest trailer for the Final Fantasy VII remake has been excoriating for apparently revealing the beloved classic has now taken the form of an action RPG – a choice that will likely have long-time fans converging on Square Enix HQ with flaming torches and pitchforks in hand.
The gameplay trailer that debuted at the PlayStation Experience 2015, featuring combat reminiscent of another Square Enix series, Kingdom Hearts:
Devoted Final Fantasy VII fans unconcerned with the remake’s “blasphemous” changes can pre-order the game anyway.

Really anyone who didn't see this coming is a fool. Not because 'Squeenix sucks' or because this will tarnish FF7 for some ridiculous reason, but because it was blatantly obvious it was going to be more action-oriented. The time of classic turn-based is gone, and not in a vindictive way, it's simply not a method of gameplay that is craved in triple-A titles by this generation of gamers. The only reason real-time action play didn't exist back then for these games is because the technology wasn't ready.
Turn-based is endearing and fun, but everyone complained about how it was implemented when they tried multiple times to give everyone the best of both worlds. Nothing will make them happy, so even I say 'screw them, make a good game, not a good game that tries to please idiots.' I would have been fine if it was like the original, but am also happy to play the game in a new way. If it was just the same game over again, there really would not have been a good reason for it. They even said it's not going to be the same game, so nobody should be surprised or unhappy by this.
How dare you. Common sense and logic on an internet forum, specifically this one? Cut that out right now!
You're back!! And thank you for your wisdom to a forum that is incensed over every little thing.
sincerely,
a 2 year lurker
Your words are contracting and makes no sense. Especially the part:
>The only reason real-time action play didn't exist back then for these games is because the technology wasn't ready.
Technology has nothing to do whether game is turn-based or not. In fact there were ARPGs at the time and before of FF7.
It's just shallow game design for modern ADHD generation who want everything _now_ and have no way to lose. Even the whole the art direction was changed to be more like those typical shallow hollywood action movies. I would even argue that the original PSX version managed to have better impact of Midgar, and the Avalanche with the setting / art direction than this trailer.
In the original the people did not seem like superhumans, (apart from the character traits). They had normal conversations and avoided fights. Here it seems like "Fuck yeah lets raid this place while throwing some witty dialogue!". And seriously what the hell is up with Barret, he looks like something out of Blade now.
FF7 was mix mash of serious, gritty, funny and weird and I don't see the remake doing it's justice for that.
> technology wasnt ready
seems like nobody even realized about seiken densetsu 3. rocking arpg genre, on snes
Not to forget about Ys series, which I would say is the best ARPG out there just because of it's simplistic design. (But even their newer ones are starting to stray).
But FFVII isn't Ys.
>The only reason real-time action play didn't exist back then for these games is because the technology wasn't ready.
Right, because the 3rd person camera and hack n' slash titles debuted with One Piece Pirate Warriors. You're a fucking idiot. Please kill yourself. Not even joking. Do it.
it barely even shows the combat chill the fuck out
Typical of sankakucomplex...
most fans are actually ecstatic and very excited and happy about this gameplay trailer..
so basically whine harder Rift.
Some people are so blinded by nostalgia that they think FF7's battle system is god-sent. It's not. The battle system is so simple that it's almost brain dead. A little action oriented combat isnt killing it.
And this is coming from a turn based fan. Embrace change already.
Most fans are actually upset and very annoyed and disheartened about this gameplay trailer...
so basically try harder anon.
HAHAHAHAHA !
I knew it...
Id really like to laugh with you, but since I played the original, Ill just sit here and cry...
Well, in this reboot/remake or whatever, the lifestream is probably made up of the tears of all the ffvii fans who felt they were wronged.
Cutscenes, cutscenes, cutscenes, massive framerate drop at 0:45... looks like a square enix game.
Not a problem, they'll have plenty of time to fix that as they usually delay main series Final Fantasy games at least 3-5 years.
yeah, ignore the fact the game isn't due for another fucking years, at least
fanboys are the worst fans
You're fuken idiot....
I know right? Isn't the game out like next week? Oh how will they find the time to fix everything?!
How the hell did you even realized that framedrop?Its barely noticeable.
Stop being so annoying dude,you are just looking for a reason to complain about a perfectly fine game.
square enix clearly forgot how mad people were for butchering the lufia 2 "remake"
square has been dead to me for years. this wont revive their shit company.
Turn-based is redundant with new-gen mechanics and graphics.
It works for low poly and stylized sprites.
How stupid will it look if a realistic character with realistic movements stood still in a pose, waiting to be hit and then get his turn.
just as stupid as a guy using magic and doing shit a normal human can't. So much for realism....
This looks like B grade action movie. Sigh
And your mother was in that adult video I watched last night, but I still fapped to it.
GREAT JOKE, FAGGOT
That was my father dammit!! You sick fuck.
Just as expected of the company that forgot how to make games.
so its a remake in the way that its not the same game at all its just ripping off the story to make $$
They already explicitly said that there will be changes, it's not like they pulled this out of nowhere.
Cloud looks like some kind of malnourished junkie with AIDS. super skinny to the bones carrying big ass sword
Isn't that pretty much what Cloud is?
Yes.
And it's completely appropriate, given that he was poisoned for 5 years.
I'm just glad that they didn't make him look like a K-pop star.
Luckily his bones are made of fricking adamantium. He wouldn't be able to lift that slab he call a sword without spinal problems otherwise.
18:52 Oh look another moron who doesnt know cloud
oh look, it's one of the gayboi in cloud's fanboi club!
Looks turn based to me... Looks ARPG only because they showed the attack sequence after inputting the commands through the menu.
I guess you have never played kingdom hearts.
As long as it doesn't become just a linear action game constantly interrupted by cutscenes, I've got no big qualms. I'm also very dubious that FF7's enduring popularity is due to its gameplay, it's the story, characters and atmosphere that have "immortalized" it, and that's what S-E should strive to keep intact.
They are investing lots of money on it and pandering only to a shrinking, aging (face it, FF7 is almost 20 years old), unpleasable and unpleasant fanbase means they could not make it at all. Thinkling it would have been the exact same game only with updated visuals and sound is delusional - the original is always there for those people (it's been published on the PS4 Store right after that trailer).
FF7 gameplay was one of the reasons the game holds up. The materia system allowed a lot of interesting battle tactics and is also reason the original FF games are liked by speedrunners.
Typical of these perverted cock sucking shit stains, bitching and moaning like a bunch of unsatisfied idiots.
Soooo stop bitching and moaning if you're unsatisfied with these comments
Sancom asswipes are always crying. that's the only thing they are good at.
This clip clearly shows the menu with attack-Magic-Summmon-Items. I would say that it is more likely that we are just seeing the action of the attacks and not the boring turn>press attack>turn> press attack> turn> press magic> select magic> etc.
And with the better graphics systems available now why would they have all of the enemies in a line? it makes more sense for a surrounding group to actually look like they have you surrounded.
Cloud does need get himself a sammich though....way too skin and bones.
Not to say SE wont horribly botch this, but it is too early to light the torches. (but keep them handy)
No no no, Cloud has been cutting down on those sammiches to look good for Sephirot
Square already admitted that the combat will be changed and not like the original FF7. So I have a big feeling this will be action RPG and less traditional RPG.
I'm a fan of both hack n slash and RPG so I am okay with either.
The menu system is of the same type as KH. It could be the enemies are lined up by coincidence, or trying to group up against you.
the original ff7 combat is kinda a snooze so some changes are expected. It's still hard to say how it'll play based on the footage here.
It's not even in the Alpha stage, so there's bound to be changes -- lots of changes.
We're not asking you if you like it. Thing is, a lot of people liked it as it was. Your own tastes are not relevants; most people here are not complaining about a "il looks good" or not. They are complaining about how stupid it is; if you want a ARPG you play a ARPG, not fucking FF7. Tastes are not relevant; even if FF7's battle system is "a snooze", it's quite clear that most people liked it this way,so while changing it a bit probably would have been ok, turning it int yet another LR/FF15 clone's is just screwing around for cash with the name of a classic for a completely "new" game.
The crappiest game ever could verywell be crappy; if people like it this way, that's how it is. And not screwing around and saying that "people that are complaining just don't understand what an RPG is." (Right, Nomura?)
