Tying nicely into the fact that it's Halloween today, Square Enix has released a new screenshot from Final Fantasy VII Remake. It features the 'Ghost' enemy that haunts the Train Graveyard in the original game. It's safe to say that these creepy creatures look better than ever in the upcoming remake.
Final Fantasy VII has loads of weird monsters -- like the infamous Hell House -- so we can't wait to see how the much more realistic looking remake deals with them. At least we're off to a good start with the Ghosts.
Which enemies do you want to see return in Final Fantasy VII Remake? Wish the game's artists luck in the comments section below.

Oh nice. Looking forward to hearing the “anxiety” track in the remake. Really sets the tone in the train graveyard.
Edit: just realised it’s called anxious heart not anxiety. Same thing
I love how creepy the ghosts look, but they have the cactuar-esque mouth and eyes.
I’m so glad they’ve kept just the right amount of camp in everything I’ve seen about this. When they showed the Eligor enemy in one of the trailers, I instantly flashed back to trying to steal the Striking Staff from it in every playthrough.
@Claude yes, Resi 2 Remake was great but in modernising it so much (and cutting some of the weirder enemies in the process) it did lose some of his charm. Of course, this made the game scarier over all so I can see why they did it.
The updated design really is on point. I’m looking forward to seeing how they make Cait Sith look like less of a weird vomit goblin.
@nessisonett pretty sure figuring out how to design and implement Cait Sith into the game is the only reason they are doing it in instalments. Gotta kick that can down the road as far as possible lol
@kyleforrester87 PC World once summed up their least favourite FF characters and they nailed Cait Sith.
“In-game, the polygonal character model is just a bouncing off-white pile of garbage nothing. On the Final Fantasy wiki, his occupation is listed as “Toysaurus”, which is awful“
They also annihilated Wakka, which is a wee bit of a shame but rather deserved.
“Who brings a ball to a fight? Don't bother unsheathing that Celestial Caladbolg, mate, Wakka's brought his Mitre Tactic with him.”
Love the absurdity of the series and hope it isn’t lost.
@nessisonett haha. The Cait Sith hate is well deserved. Him and Yuffie can do one.
@kyleforrester87 Yeah that’s an issue with bringing pre-PS2 era games into HD since some designs counted on a lack of detail and people imagining what it would actually look like. RE does have the benefit of being a horror franchise, so even if the sillier elements are dialed down, the additional serial does have an impact, even if it’s not the same thing. That’s why the more stylized approach based on the original character art is a better road for VIIR specifically because It gets to use the best of both worlds in a way.
While I do want to see Red XIII like everyone, the reveal I’m most excited for is Jenova. Her FMV design in the original game was really chilling. I want them to build on that aspect of the potential and essentially have her ready to be a secret boss in Bloodborne II. I do think we’ll see the Cait Sith doll at least in the remake, even if it won’t be in action. Or for all I know they could be enemies in the Shinra HQ lol.
@kyleforrester87 wait, i thought cait sith was a little cat that rides on top of that white thing which is a robot or something....
@ellsworth004 it's a remote controlled robot cat sitting on top of a remote controlled robot Moogle
@FullbringIchigo yeah i remember now, who was it that controlled it? One of the turks?
@ellsworth004 It was controlled by Reeve, who was one of the Shinra executives (Head of Urban Development or something like that). You first saw him when you went to the HQ to rescue Aeris, and then he only reappeared in person around the end of the second disc if I remember right.
@ellsworth004 @Claude yeah that's pretty much it
@FullbringIchigo @ellsworth004 @Claude spoilers
@kyleforrester87 meh the game is 22 years old
@FullbringIchigo well, on the one hand I agree, but on the other I think there’s no harm being conscious that people might be playing the remake blind.
I’m not getting bent out of shape over it, just something I’m considering myself (or trying to at least) before commenting on articles.
@kyleforrester87 yeah your probably right, i keep forgetting that for some people this will be their first time with FFVII
back on topic and i wonder what Yin Yang will look like in HD?
Most anticipated game of the past 2 years. MARCH CANNOT COME ANY SOONER.
@FullbringIchigo Horrific, hopefully.
@kyleforrester87 true didnt even think about it! My bad
Fixed it! 😃
I wonder what the Honey Bee Inn hostess are gona look li....i mean, yeah those weird ass enemy designs hahahhaha......
@kyleforrester87 Good point. I know this title front to back several times over lol so my brain fritzed on that. How do we mark spoilers from mobile? I’m trying to edit my comment and I’m not seeing any option :/.
They look like the ghost enemies that hang around Sector 7s train graveyard
Look at the big bad SOLDIER running away.
Looks like an Ahriman/One Eye/Allemagne who's bumped into a cloth. I like it. So excited for this game.
