It looks like it's going to be akin to the FFXV pocket edition which was like a super scaled back version which was kind of more 'greatest hits" than a full remake and released in chapters.

Okay that makes more sense, because the idea of them remaking all that poo poo in that style ON TOP of doing the Remake episodes seemed like a crazy amount of work

Also I noticed in the Ever Crisis trailer that Aerith is there fighting the Scorpion Sentinel so it's clear there's gonna be some element of gameplay being divorced from story going on

Also Crises Core's art style was fine, making it chibi-ish is bleh. Just port over the original game for gods sake.

Actually that is probably a reference to the original Final Fantasy VII demo which featured the reactor sequence but had Aerith (complete with a Leviathan summon materia) in your party.

According to an interview Weiss is just a VR boss fight for Yuffie. Also since they're introducing Yuffie in Midgar area who wants to bet she steals your poo poo at the beginning of Remake #2 :D

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

AKA The thing I've brought up since forever, Nomura has way too much work to be able to lead both Remake and the KH series.

Maybe so. It's just generally never a good thing when the director of... anything gets "promoted" off your flagship project
especially one that he says he wants to be his priority

All I know is that he's credited as co-director of part 1 with Nomura. He was also the project lead for the Mobius Final Fantasy mobile game. He also worked as a lead programmer on other FF games like Lightning Returns.

The Remake is entirely a backdoor way for that Genesis scene at the end of Dirge to mean something.

Yuffie killed and skinned a Moogle to make that cloak.

This is in addition to the multiple cases of grand larceny, making her the most evil party member in 7 by far.

But she is also going to kill that one Dirge of Cerberus guy so perhaps she is the truest hero.

Probably will speed up production at least. Most of the character design poo poo for modern FF seems to have transferred off to Roberto Ferrari anyway as well.

I can't figure out if we already knew the Compilation stuff was gonna show up in some form in FF7R or if I had just assumed it would and already resigned myself to it

Never played Dirge due to its reputation but I have to admit I respect it's energy.
