PSX 2015: Final Fantasy VII Remake Looks Incredible in Brand New PS4 Gameplay

My wife was watching that with me - FFVII is the game that started our relationship 17 years ago so it ,ears something to us - and she was impressed. All I could think though was how many people would be upset about the change from turn based battles.

To those people - if you want turn based, play the PC version. This is a remake, game play goes with the graphics.

I do worry what Red XIII will look like, and if they will cut side missions and maybe even characters to get this out in a reasonable amount of time. Or maybe drop that after the final boss under island. Something will be cut.

That's OK though, I've obviously forgotten most of it anyway, it's all about Sephiroth for me.

Looks like they are using the combat system designed for FFXV for this remake. I was never a fan of FF7, but I suppose I wouldn't mind grabbing this.

I knew the turn based combat would have to go. I'm fine with it tho.

Interesting. If it is different enough the PC version of VII wont feel redundant.

I think is the first game that I will get a super duper collection edition!
Hell, I am willing to even buy a new PS4 if they sell a collector's edition.

The battle system looks similar to Kingdom Hearts, which is good because the combat in recent Kingdom Hearts games has been brilliant. The graphics and presentation looks excellent.

Love the theme, that music! <3

@kyleforrester87 haha yes it needs to download quicker

The remake looks better than anything I could have imagined, I was worried they would ruin it but how wrong could I be. It quite literally looks like the original remade scene for scene, it'll probably deviate here and there but I cannot express how excited I am for this

Easily the best part of the show. I'd be more excited if I knew it was coming out soon but this has to be 2017/2018.

It definitely looks really good. I'll wait on it until after I've played the original though, just so I can appreciate it more.

Looks incredible, though there's a big difference between the cutscenes and the in-game part where Cloud is moving through the collapsed corridor. Thing it's just lack of AA or low AA. Anyway, this is literally a dream come true. Also Jessie is looking cute - I always felt sorry for her, being overshadowed by the other girls and ignored totally by Cloud.

@rjejr Not to mention, the game wasn't even fully turn-based back then. The only actually turn-based FFs are 1-3 and 10. Don't put any commands in in FFVII, just leave the game running, and the enemies will beat you up and kill you. It was real-time, just with a long cooldown on each action. This series has had real-time battles in some form or another for over 24 years now.

Pretty stoked for this!

Looks amazing but they better fix that battle framerate.

@kyleforrester87 Right? Takes like an hour or more to download. Sheesh. I wanna play now.

@TromboneGamer It looks like an early build.

I'm rather excited about this, FFVII was in between my first Final Fantasy game.

Wish it was turn based but still it looks fantastic

@ReigningSemtex Why would they make it turn-based when the original game isn't turn-based either? Why do people keep making this weird mistake?

>This battle system was initially built as an alternative to the traditional turn-based system used many times prior to its development.

@Matroska you know what we mean no need to be so pedantic.

Ok so turn based like gameplay. Happy?

@kyleforrester87 leaving my ps4 on over mite its saying its gonna take between 4-6 hours to download, damn sky wireless broadband 😁

Delicious, didn't much enjoy the original. Barrett seems to have lost a few pounds eh.

@Matroska OK, good point, I guess I should have said "menu driven" instead of turn based.

The new fighting style looks nothing like this.

Woah that looks amazing.

Actually the combat mode i can accept it, because the final fantasy 7 psp version almost the same combat too.

Wow! I'm so excited for this! Final Fantasy is finally back! And it got modernized! FFXV and FFVII, I wanna play you so much!

I'm in the very small minority who found the original to being overrated, but this remake is interesting. Highlights the strengths of the game and may fix some of the issues I had with it.
