People are speculating this could be a Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse/Loki type situation for the entire Final Fantasy franchise. Not sure how I feel about that to be honest.

Wow. I never thought they would acknowledge Dirge of Cerberus. I hope they could get Gackt to return as Genesis if that's the case.

https://www.gamesradar.com/marvels-spider-man-miles-morales-leads-official-playstation-magazines-guide-to-ps5s-launch-lineup-out-now/ Latest issue of OPM is claiming Final Fantasy is most likely coming next year. If that's true then I'll be impressed. I don't think we've had a game announcement...

I have to say the intentional choice of using real-time footage over CGI is winning me over somewhat. Granted, this is something Square-Enix has been decidedly doing in their marketing for mainline games since the Remake. None of the trailers were prerendered CGI done by Visual Works IIRC...

Interesting scoop from Schreier. I think that a 2021-2022 release for Final Fantasy XVI makes sense considering we won't be seeing Final Fantasy VII Part 2 for awhile yet. Not until 2022-2023 maybe. We'll see how efficient the development environment for Playstation 5 is in the coming months and...

The graphics overall will clearly be improved as development continues. This was just a trailer to whet the appetite of the fanbase for the upcoming PS5 and not an accurate representation of the final product. Upon reaching closer to release the finer details will get smoothed out. The initial...

Are you being facetious? There's no way that brought back that engine for next-gen?

Same guy who directed the Last Remnant. Glad he's getting another shot. I was afraid that because of Tabata's perceived failure of XV they wouldn't allow fresh blood to held the mainline games anymore. Happy to be very wrong on that front.

So they will have an idea of how many games the whole Remake will be once Part II is officially revealed? I'm guessing between 3-4 games total considering all they are trying to fit into this retelling. I expect the most controversial aspects of the game to ramp up in the later installments. It...

Glad they're giving this studio/team another chance. On a new IP even. I wish them luck.

A wise move. People are still focused on the Remake. Best not take attention away from that right now. Plus, Final Fantasy is no longer a Playstation exclusive franchise so it being revealed now isn't inline with its current branding. I expect either the Japanese gaming this (or next?) month may...

If there are truly multiple Sephiroths then a version of him is definitely getting a redemption arc.

I can agree to that. Technical comparisons are valid enough because all games should be competently designed, coded and debugged across an industry standard. Internet discussions go far beyond that, however. The evidence speaks for itself in many different places. I guess it's because it's an...

What baffles me is the comparisons made between the two games at all. Sure, they're in the same franchise yet that doesn't really qualify them for a 1:1 comparison. Each Final Fantasy entry is treated as a franchise unto its itself for the most part. Not to mention each game has different design...

Nomura: The game will stay pretty much the same from now on. Me:

I'm surprised people have not let this game go yet.

The only explainable reason is a marketing ploy. The creative team never intended to solely make a 1:1 HD remake of the original. However, changing an iconic game from the outset would be controversial and harm sales. Knowing this, they marketed the game as being a faithful remake while using...

@Bazztek I partly agree with your take regarding the dependency of previous FF VII works in order to understand aspects of the Remake story. I think the most egregious scene that really favors your argument is Zack's Last Stand. Unless you have played the original or Crisis Core that scene...

Enjoyed the game overall. This is very much a "returning" to form for Square-Enix despite some speedbumps. If this is a trilogy I hope the quality remains consistent throughout. A lot of trilogies have a habit of peaking with the 2nd entry and foundering in the third. Anyway, I think this might...

It still shocks me that technically three people are directing this game. Personally, I hope that becomes a standard going forward in regards to mainline games. It's clear the Triple A nature of the Final Fantasy games in today's age is too much for one person alone to handle.
