Aww. It's a photoshop. Though I'd be 100% fine with a lightning option when doing the crossdressing. (maybe you get it by choosing all the no-fun stick in the mud dialogue)

Maybe I'm in the minority but while I'm excited as all gently caress for the remake, I don't really care if it keeps the spirit of the original. It would be nice if they did, but for me the PSX version will always be the definitive version, and however they decide to approach the remake, it won't take away from what made the game great to begin with. But I'm the person who just bought a PS2 with three games that all currently have HD updates (FFX, DMC, and MGS2). Maybe it's the purist in me, but I much prefer playing the games as they were back then even if the remakes are objectively better.

I always a HD remake only working if everything was kept pretty much the same with non-lovely dialogue, filling in the plotholes and 3D effects out the rear end(make summons crazy). It was so fun to break materia and stuff, I don't know how they could take that out.

Honestly, what makes me have the most hope for the remake is that they included the slide from the playground in the trailer. That was the landmark that confirmed it was Midgar and a FF7 remake to me 100%. The more I think about it, that says a lot about the original game, and that at least some of the people involved in the remake are already paying attention to the real quirks and charms in the game.

KataraniSword posted:Yeah, I don't think they thought about that when they made FF8 or FF9, but by the time they made FF12, they knew drat well what they were doing, and what they were doing was putting FF5 Gilgamesh into every goddamn FF game possible as literally his FF5 self, and that's colored his appearance in all the remakes and Dissidia. He'd be a pretty funny cameo in this one. Picture it: you're going back to Midgar to stop the Sister Ray and in a side alley BATTLE TRANSITION! Gilgamesh: "HA! Finally made it! Now to collect the most famous weapon from this world! Give me... THE BUSTER SWORD!" Cloud: :draw: "What, this buster sword?" Gilgamesh: "Yes! OR I FIGHT YOU!" Cloud: ". . . Sure thing, man, here you go." :toss: Gilgamesh: "And now... I FIGHT YOU ANYWAY!" :ten second attack animation, zeroes pop up over the entire party: Cloud: "Starting weapon, duder." Gilgamesh: "Oh... errors have been made."

Okay I haven't been sure about their art style for a few games but that summon was loving awesome. Tunicate posted:Didn't all the magic fade from the world at the end of FF6? Maybe he stole it while it was totally ordinary. Well Gilgamesh in FF6 was an Esper, so in theory he ceased to exist when the game was over. It doesn't make sense, don't think about it.

Was it called Excalipoor in Japanese, or was it, uh... Exocalibur? I'm thinking Excalibur but with "kuso" in there.

iirc it's Excalipur instead of Excalibur, so just devoiced b/p, hence the easy mix-up.

FinalGamer posted:Did you not notice Kitase was the PRODUCER in the trailer? I think you misunderstood me. I'm nervous but hopeful. Cautiously optimistic I guess you can call it. Believe me, I'm just as annoyed as you are by all the whining and naysaying this has spawned. Like the talk in the FF Megathread about "modern Square sucks and are going to ruin everything and Nomura loves belt and Nojima and Kitase will write in a ton of extra garbage and blah blah blah." I WANT this to be a good game and I honestly don't expect it to be bad. Disappointing maybe but not actually terrible.

It's the same reaction people have whenever a remake is announced, like recently with the Dwayne Johnson Big Trouble in Little China project. We know next to nothing about the project, and people are already screaming blasphemy.

On the other hand, he apparently forgets the old "cup of a carpenter" trick in 9 and passes up the Excalibur II for the Excalipoor, or his lackey does, or something. Gilgamesh in 9 is kind of a headache.

I hope they won't mess with the music too much, just having modern versions of all the tracks could be pretty amazing if done well. Although the trailer being set to an Advent Children track might bode ill. At least they get one track as a freebie already thanks to XIV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIEeKI0qYII

It'd be pretty funny if for the cross-dressing section you collected all the best items Cloud would end up looking exactly like Lightning.

I really like VII's soundtrack but the Gold Saucer theme wears out its welcome pretty quickly even in the original so that sounds about right. Also assuming they do it well, I'm all for the remake if it gives me modern versions of Judgement Day and Cid's Theme.
