During the 3rd edition of Monaco Anime Game International Conferences (MAGIC) organized by Shibuya Productions at Grimaldi Forum Monaco today, exclusive footage of the fabled Final Fantasy VII Remake was shown:

We will update the post if more footage/info is revealed during the event about the game. But we can rest assured that the remake is indeed a reality!

Yuck.

 

[FireEmblemGuy]

Wonder if this is actual in-game footage or just renders/mockups with UI elements thrown on top.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Well lets hope they don't cancel it if and after they release a P.T. (Although there is no reason to believe so).

 

[Meteor7]

Still looks like it could turn out well. I'm gonna stay hopefull.

Why are people saying "yuck"? It looks amazing.

Probably because it's showcasing action-based battles, which pretty much every FF7 fan absolutely hates.

Game looks ok though, but I doubt I'll pick it up myself until they release the full game and not dumb "chapters"

Well sucks for them. I grew up with the original and enjoy the modernization. If they don't like it, they have a product for that. It's called Final Fantasy VII (see wut I did thar?)

Wow, I completely forgot that they're using that release model. I wonder just how well/poorly they'll end up handling that.

That looks pretty gross

inb4 they change it into a pachinko machine

Everytime I see this it just makes me want a Remaster instead of a remake.... I don't get why you would change the RPG aspect of a game that was nearly perfect for its time. That would be like taking Ocarina of Time and making it turn based.

 

[SirAileron]

I'd definitely rather try this than go back to old JRPG systems. Bravely Default has spoiled my enjoyment of them, haha.

 

[H1B1Esquire]

Shit. They must have really been betting FF XV was going to be huge and everyone was going to love the way they changed everything.
I guess I could play FFVII Redux, but I won't enjoy it. Wouldn't care so much if they called it FF VII: YRBAA (Your RPG Became An Action) Cloud.
I'm hoping SqueEzdix understand there are people who played FF because they enjoed turn-based battles and that would have been 60-70% of buyers, which I feel, is why FF XV hasn't sold 10M. Classic battle mod, please.

Great idea, let's remake Gran Turismo 2, but this time you huff gas, jack off in the car, and instead of driving, it becomes a dating-sim. That's what GT fans want, a car dating-sim.

 

[Ryupower]

there IS ATB of somekind in the game

ATB bar fills press /\ to do something?

 

[Bladexdsl]

all we wanted was a re-master....

 

[Lightyose]

I WANT IT!

 

[Pluupy]

They wouldn't need to. SquareEnix already has Final Fantasy XIV players paying a subscription ($15/month), for expansions ($40), for fanfests ($30 for stream), AND for "optional content" with prices reaching $30.

SquareEnix apparently feels a mount ($30) is equal to 3/4 the cost of the newest expansion ($40).

Gotta pay for dem custom made $400,000 Final Fantasy XV Audi R8s somehow.

 

[Westwoodo]

Looks good to me although I still haven't played the original......

 

[SamAsh07]

Looks dope, finally I'll play FF7
