@XIII_rocks can't say I totally remember, but I believe it!

For some reason I remember swordz not liking FFVII and then playing it and liking it more. Maybe I mixed you guys up or it was both of you

I dunno about him, but that was definitely me. I'm actually pretty excited about this remake even though 2 of my 3 favorites from the game aren't in this first part lol

Aps boss fight with Cloud/Tifa/Aerith gameplay. Also Ifrit.

They kept cloud's shitty Rohan VA, why did they change the English VAs again?
---

heck yeah remixed battle theme
---

Whoever Cloud's VA is now in this remake, it's sure of a hell lot better than whatever it has been previously.

This is what I've been saying! It's so cool to see new blood take a crack at this stuff and actually nail it.

I think I remember you not finding the 'funny' names I gave characters all that funny. "British humour" or something. But I've always had a good memory for weird, small details


---

well people giving "funny" names to JRPG characters usually isn't funny anyway
---

(game has characters named shit like "Cloud" and "Red XIII")
Dude what if my character had a dumb name

---

13 year old me thought it was hilarious to name Red XIII, Nanaki.

I had fun calling Barret "Bad News"

---

it's been canon Aerith since 2002
---

The voice actors should be forced to dub 2 versions of any lines that feature her name. Then give the user the S or Th option when you name her, triggering the appropriate dialogue, lol.

Give an achievement for completing the game on each version.
---

technically "Aerith" has been in the game since 1997

but it was only that way in select copies
---

I named her Aerith in my playthrough just to be used to calling her that.
---

I wish I had a PS4, but Im not buying one just for this and P5R. I hope it makes its way to PC eventually.
---

Hopefully anagrams parents ask him to buy a PS4 and he feels forced into it at some point

---

I just got to the point where you leave Midgar for the first time. My play time clocked in at just under 7 hours and there is certainly idle time in there.

The speculation is that the first part of the remake will end at this point. I watched the trailer again and understood all of the scenes, so I believe the speculation. How does the speculation suppose they'll extend the play time in the remake?
---

Having all the dialogue be spoken and acted rather than printed will add some time. They also appear to be adding new scenes and plot elements (a motorcycle chase before the escape involving Jessie and some new SOLDIER character, President Shinra marking AVALANCHE as allies of Wutai, Sephiroth appearances, whatever that black smoke is (probably Sephiroth))

Also its not speculation that it ends there, Square-Enix have outright said so
---

Yeah, I can get out of Midgar in 4-5 hours in a normal playthrough. But yeah, I think they want to expand Midgar because probably one of the biggest fan wishes is being able to see more of it because you only see a very small part of the whole city.
---

It's a good question. I'm seeing everything getting stretched and expanded upon. I'm almost picturing FF13-esque dungeons, where things used to be 1 or 2 screens before (Sector 6 basically being 1 screen) would now be full-on dungeons. The Train Graveyard is now the Gapra Whitewood, lol. Wall market and Shinra Tower can be even more expanded. The sewers could become the worst gaming aesthetic: a maze... or just expanded too.

Plus we already know about all kinds of brand new scenes/events/plot points just from the trailers we've seen so far.

Boss fights certainly look more exhaustive too, Guard Scorpion and Aps alone look to be way more time consuming than previously.

I know even typing that up I think, can they really derive like 30+ hours of material out of this... well they keep promising us it'll be "2 blu-ray discs" worth of content so there's gotta be something there.

Well, the Train Graveyard is already a puzzle maze, so just keep it that way.
---

not much of a puzzle, jump in one train then jump in the other...

....now I wonder if they can even replicate that in a full 3D environment. Hmm!

The train graveyard is what forced me to switch from PS3 original port to PS4 steam port. Holy hell that was annoying and then became really easy.

But yeah thinking about it, all the dungeon areas were really small. I was taken aback that the sewers were only two screens, but also relieved. There's gotta be some sort of mini game they can shoehorn in there as well. Make the pinball machine playable perhaps, or add something to Wall Market like a casino or competitions in the gym.
---

Yeah, the Train Graveyard can be annoying the first time through. It's a piece of cake once you know what you're doing though.

And FFVII is mini-game central, so I'm sure they'll add new stuff. They've already shown a pull-up mini-game with Tifa to go along with the return of three-point squats. Maybe a push-up mini-game with Barret...?
---

I imagine they'll add a few sidequests. Probably a few new sections, too, I imagine. Like getting to Shinra tower. Might even get to see some of the other sectors we never got to see.

I'm wondering how long it'll be between episodes. Like... a year? Two? Or will it be a little faster, since they've got the game engine working? Also wondering how much future episodes will cost, and how leveling progress will work between games.
---

You're gonna play through all 60+ floors of the tower instead of using the fire escape
---

heck yeah

give us more shinra theme and i won't complain
---

Just realized we'll also definitely be getting hunts/quests like in 13 and 15. I could see it being run out of Wall Market, I mean, Cloud is a mercenary too...

Just as long as Barret complains and Tifa gripes him out for it the entire way, I'm sold.

Oh yeah, that's pretty much been a staple since FFXII (its enduring legacy, I suppose), so that would make sense.

ah, they rarely, if ever, played that part up before

thats an interesting thought

I thought Cloud was basically a mercenary in name only and hooked up with Avalanche shortly after arriving in Midgar? Like I can't think of anything that leads me to think that, just that I was always under that assumption

I mean, he says he's only doing the reactor jobs for gil. Plus he tells Aeris he's a jack of all trades. We're gonna make him do all kinds of jobs for unsavoury Wall Market folks!!

Now I just remembered the Hell House random enemy in sector 6.... man I want so much out of this game!!!

she's gotta call him the R-word too or else it's CENSORSHIP

turns out that word is blocked by gfaqs lol
---

Yeah, they stopped playing up Cloud being a mercenary after they left Midgar (because Cloud only cared about chasing Sephiroth at that point), but he definitely negotiated prices with Barret over future jobs at one point. Plus, Aerith "hires" him to be her bodyguard.

Plus, if you watch the secret scene between Zack and Cloud, Zack says their plan is to go to Midgar and become mercenaries.

Can't wait to have those 5 hours of plot sprinkled across a 90 hour open world city hellscape

Hunts are sweet though

This topic exploded and I've been busy so I'm keeping this alive
