I think it’s kind of a monkey’s paw thing, except instead of giving you the most negative possible incarnation of your wish it can only articulate your wish to the extent that you describe it.
So, if you give a wishy-washy, “Yeah, it’s just some Final Fantasy VII beat-em-up,” you end up with something as vague and mediocre as you requested.

“With the Tiny Bronco go all over and somewhere in the shallow water you’ll see a head moving around( like Ruby). Make contact with it and you’ll fight Turquoise Weapon( the hardest of them all)!!”
“One of the montains on the World Map is acctually a weapon with 2 million plus HP.”
“If you have 100 tissues before the accident in Mideel you’ll find out what their for. Go into Mideel and watch the scene with the lifestream and Diamond Weapon, after that’s done go back into Mideel and you’ll see a women crying. Talk to her and she’ll say, “Gotta blow my nose.” Do you want to give her the tissue, yes or no?? If you say yes she’ll use all 100 of them and then tell you the secret to bringing Aeris back.”
- The game will be fully-voiced for the most part, and there will be a new cast of voice actors for those that didn’t have lines in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
- The “dating event” will likely be fully-voiced, as it was quoted “we can’t just not voice that part.”
- The reproduction of events from the original version will be done carefully, as social situations were different back when the original game was made compared to today. For example the bath house scene at the Honey Bee Inn.
- Square Enix can’t say anything of the time being as far as map info goes, but they’re not going to put much focus on whether they’ll call it open world or sandbox. However, Nomura wants to have some kind of environment with backgrounds that can be affected by the characters.
- They want to have all the mini-games that still remain in the memories of the fans. There was a variety of big and small mini-games in the original game, but they’re currently testing out whether they should all be redone with the latest technology.
- Its current development status is at a stage where they can say that they were finally able to get started. Nomura says that they have some ideas for the battles, but it’ll still be a while until they can implement it into the game.
- The next information update on Final Fantasy VII Remake will be after they’re done with Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue and World of Final Fantasy.
that’s mildly reassuring and I swear I’m not that invested in this but I still can’t believe their template for the battles seems to be Kingdom Hearts rather than Lightning Returns / FFXV. It took them over a decade to make an action battle system that’s not completely asinine and they seem to be taking a step backward with this one.
It’s weird to me that n spite of its flaws, a reasonably competent remake of FF7 would probably still be the best entry in the series since the original FF7. But thats just my own dumb opinion I guess.
Please describe Lightning Returns’ gameplay compared to Kingdom Hearts. I have played neither
I’ve been idly watching a jp FF7 playthrough recently during nightly studies and I have to say that I have to agree with all of the comments from it noting that Barret is the main heroine.
Because, really, he is.
FF6, bro
(also 12, 8)
What was that FF7 unfinished fangame that was fully 3D and used the battle models for all the characters? It’s kinda hard to google screenshots of that now.
Where is DAIS when you need him the most?
EDIT: found it
Hi-def remake Cloud oughta be Chevy Chase ringer imo
This tweety-bird lookin’ motherfucker
i don’t think i can ride this chocobo
The guy stepping on the flower is Square Enix and the flower is FF7 
I could say this in a lot of places but it seems particularly relevant here:
It’s really dumb how DLC is just a term we use all the time
POWERFUL CONTENT
It should’ve been killed after the original Horse Armor.
