 Original game spoilers are free, keep what happens in this one under wraps for now  It's the Final Fantasy, again! The seventh one, again! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flMaZVapb4I Synopsis posted:The world has fallen under the control of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a shadowy corporation controlling the planet’s very life force as mako energy. Final Fantasy VII is a JRPG that originally released in 1997 for the Playstation 1. This is not that game. This is Final Fantasy VII Remake (Part 1), an Action RPG... in HD!! currently exclusive for the PS4. This game covers the first section of the original game and takes place in Midgar only. The demo will Soon be upon us, according to leaks, so let's get this thread on tracks! STORY quote:Mako─the lifeblood of the planet and the fuel that powers the city of Midgar...  With new HD faces in new HD places, the story as well has been changed from its Perfect, Pristine Form it had in the original game, with more and extended scenes meant to breathe more life into Midgar and its characters both old and new. Yes, the Honey Bee Inn is still here, as is Cloud crossdressing. Again, to keep it clear: we can't expect everyone to keep the events of the original story, now over two decades old, spoiler-free. That said, if someone comes in here and says they barely know anything that happens in the original, don't be an rear end in a top hat. It worked in Elentor's fantastic Let's Play of the original, it can work here. GAMEPLAY  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEGRZ8itn7g Okay I'm not gonna lie this combat system looks cool as h*ck and is the thing I'm most excited for. The bare essentials of the combat system were first explained in this segment from E3 2019 at 4:30, so if you want the barebones on how this works, check that out. Quick rundown: It's an action game where you hit the Square button to attack. You have bars called ATB that fill in over time, and fill quicker as you land normal attacks. Once you've filled a bar, you can issue a command, such as using magic, items, or special attacks, which will then deplete one or several bars. You can either bind these commands to shortcuts, or press the X button to enter Tactical Mode, where you can select commands from a regular menu à la Final Fantasy VII. There are currently four characters known to be playable: Cloud, Tifa, Aerith and Barret. Each character has a unique command available via the Triangle button, as well as their own Abilities and Limit Breaks. You can freely switch between who you play as with the press of a button, and you can also issue commands for the other characters to do. Perform your abilities in tandem and form combos and you get some bonuses during combat!  To use spells and certain abilities, you must insert materia into your equipment. Different effects can be achieved by combining different materia in certain ways. In the above image, Cloud's Buster Sword has two materia slots that are linked together. By putting the Ice Materia into one, which lets Cloud cast the Ice spell, and the Elemental Materia into the other slot, the Buster Sword now deals additional ice damage with every swing. Materia can be leveled up to increase their effects, and equipment can also be upgraded to add additional slots and other neat stuff. FAQ Holy loving poo poo I'm so loving excited for the Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 1, Jesus gently caress, I need to consume every screen and video for every minute detail, can you please help me aaaaAAAa I cannot, but this dude on youtube has several 20-60 minute long videos going over absolutely everything released in incredible detail. I recommend checking out some videos if you're bored and very excited. Is this really only going to cover the Midgar section of the game? That's only a couple of hours long in the original! Aye. New characters, bosses, areas, minigames and gameplay segments have been added to add some meat to the bone. Personally, I expect a 20-25 hour long main story, with optional stuff adding to that. I don't have anything to base that on!! Part 1? How many parts will there be? Square has begun work on Part 2, and it is currently unknown how many parts it will eventually end up being. Expect 3. Hey, the voice actors sound different. Yeah, the whole English troupe has been recast. Their old voice actors will still play them in other FF related media.

RatHat posted:Think the demo will be out this month? It comes out March 3rd so a 1.5-2 month gap seems about right. I really, really hope they don't cancel it because of the leak, I really want to try the combat system before I buy it. January 31st is when the og game released, so

In fact, it's such a short delay I think it's quite possible that the main reason for it is not to add extra polish (but of course that's a bonus), but to push it into the next fiscal quarter.

Whether something has or hasn't I don't know, I've been skipping all the talk of the trailer as I'm not gonna watch it anyway, that was just in reply to Gologle's post. e: And yeah trailers and officially released stuff are of course generally okay to talk about untagged but poo poo like the entire script being leaked is not something to talk about outside of tags.

Yeah it's very hectic and your fingers are all over the controller trying to keep track of all the commands you can do, but that's just normal growing pains. A couple of playthroughs and it'll be golden.

I agree, but I also think there's a fair bit of damage that you can avoid but will need some more experience with the system and controls ala Kingdom Hearts data fights.

It's the first 45-60 minutes of an rpg with talent trees and equipment and weapon skills, I'd wager there's a fair amount of +Speed poo poo you can get to bump up your characters. What we've played is just the baseline.
