Honestly as much as this would sort of make sense I'm going to remain skeptical about it.

With that, I wonder if they're still going through with porting the old FF7 to PS4, which is based on the newer and mediocre PC port, which was based on the half-assed PC port, based the old-as-[parasitic bomb] PlayStation version.

[VirusChris]

Damn I wanted to post it!

But serious, oh god it's real! I seriously can't believe it!
This is going to be REALLY epic or really bad. I hope it's the former!

FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward Launch Trailer

[Blue Valkyrie]

And there goes my social life for the next little while.

Just need to finish up one last area of the main story up till 3.0 and I'm ready to go. I gotta say FF14 has honestly had a pretty good story so far, I hear the cliff hanger I'm about to see brings out some feels.

This is the only MMO I've ever really gotten into now that I think about it.

[VirusChris]

Heavensward Early Access is here and I'm already reached Level 52 on my Ninja!
Though there's still a lot to do.

Anyway...

It is pretty, I'll give them that. I will always remain cautious though regarding any sort of competitive versus game SquareEnix has their paws on.

[Nexus]

I'm surprised no one's posted this.

Things of note:
Versus XIII/XV-style gameplay and exploration, at least in cities. Shows bits and pieces of the bombing mission and aftermath, nothing up to Tifa of course. Voice acting is a bit questionable for Wedge, definitely. Not a lot of gameplay shown overall, but the combat system seems to have a 'special gauge' that allows for more powerful attacks when filled without distinctly being Limit Breaks. Cutscenes are being completely reworked and the game won't be 1:1 to the original if the Midgar plate surface redesigns are anything to go by.

[Sakura Leic]

Okay......this definitely has more of my attention now.

I also like Barret's new shades, but Cloud is so pastey, his complexion is pretty bad.  But yeah I hope Wedge gets a bit better, but even if he doesn't it's not like we're going to have to deal with it for even half of the first part of the game. 

I'm actually kind of looking forward to this, but I need to how they'll handle Materia.

[Phi]

I forgot to post it because it looks terrible.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah hopefully they touch up the graphics a bit and Cloud's skin.  I mean it would make sense for him to look a bit sickly, but it's still ugly as hell.

[Phi]

Yeah, Cloud looks sickly, but I was referring to the gameplay.

It's exactly like XV. And as someone who played the XV demo, the gameplay mechanics are not very solid. The choppy framerate doesn't help matters, either.

They have a lot of work to do.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah it admittedly does seem a bit choppy, but it's still very early in development.

[Arikado]

Apparently the game is going to be episodic. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-12-06/final-fantasy-vii-remake-to-be-multi-part-series/.96179

Get people's hopes up one day, bring them down the next... I'm not even a huge fan of FF7, but this is just stupid.

[Blue Valkyrie]

Between using a modified FF15 battle system and making this episodic I'm not really sure I even want to play this anymore. 

[Fxeni]

I'm expecting something along the lines of Crisis Core for the materia.

It looks fine, all things considered. I wasn't ever a big fan of FF7, but I never hated it either, so it's nice to see them still use a similar script so far at the very least.

[Sakura Leic]

Seems the remake is going to explore the backgrounds of Jesse, Biggs, and Wedge more before they bite the dust again.  Should be interesting.

[Fxeni]

I suspect more time will be spend in Midgar in general. Which is fine, because it was pretty much the most interesting locale in the game in the first place.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah I agree, more time in Midgar would be great.

[Sakura Leic]

Well it took them long enough but it's finally coming.  Now if only the 5 and 6 ports actually had some effort put into them and not just the cruddy mobile versions ported to the PC which also seem to have so stability issues.

They did announce very early that they're trying to link all of the spin-off materials together in this game--which is the reason they justify making it episodic. They claim that this will be a much bigger game than the original.

I've never been a big fan of the action system from Kingdom Hearts. It always felt janky to me--especially casting spells. They were always so underwhelming and they seemed to miss a lot--maybe I was just bad at the game?

Which Kingdom Hearts are you talking about?

BbS perfected the battle system.

I've only ever played KH1 and 2.
