I couldn’t see a way to do it on the demo, but you can reduce the speech volume at least so it’ll be like the old game, just text

Genuine question(s):
If the first game in the remake ‘series’ covers the Midgar portion at the start of the game… will it actually be possible for them to make an interconnected world map with the kind of travel and globetrotting FF7 players are used to , (which even allowed Midgar to be revisted), Junon alone is a huge town for example.
Can we expect the subsequent games to be linear and have no real go to any town you like when you like feel?

Well OK people here on here might not be hyped but other places I’ve seen the general feeling is people are really looking forward to it. (for what it’s worth I won’t play it I imagine, but am curious to see what everyone thinks once it’s out)

Ah no thats grand.
I was responding to you saying that FF fans were hyped.
I’m a huge FF fan yet I am not hyped is all I was saying.
I should be in the crosshairs of this games hype too tbf but it’s just making me want to replay the original again.

I find it hard to believe that they’d make a modern FF game too linear with no sense of exploration or adventure.

Maybe it’ll be like X where you can go to towns but can’t move around the globe on the airship and that.
It’s going to be on PS5 anyway I guess so the added power should help.
Maybe thats added to the delay. Current platforms just couldnt do it.

Reckon those other games won’t happen unless this is a monumental success… And even then, I think they just realised early on this was the easy bit of the game to remake, and kicked the can down the road for the rest of it. Has there ever been a suggestion that they’re working on the next episode?

I honestly don’t know.
It might just be a money pit at this point tbh and releasing this and recovering some of their loss vs not releasing this bit and making a bigger loss is why this is coming at all.
When the credits roll they should have a link to the Playstation store to buy FFVII: Original.
If there is an episode 2 and theyve not started yet it may be 5 years at least?

Very much suspect this, aye. Obviously it could yet be a huge success, which might change things.

Even though i have zero interest in the remake at present I really hope it does okay so SquareEnix aren’t fucked.
I need Bravely Default 2, Octopath Traveller 2 and DragonQuest 12 :slight_smile:

Fun’s not the right word for them though let’s be honest

Decided I was gonna 100% it with a guide a while back. Put in like 25 hours on the first disc and then lost the will. There’s a day I wont get back.

Is this the moment where people are realising they’re playing a modern final fantasy game but with a story they already know and are starting to show cracks of disappointment?

I mean I’m sure it’s fine, the modern ff games are good for what they are they just have a lot of tropes that people who fell off cant stand

I think it’s more of a case that the story doesn’t even really get going until they get out into the world.
In Midgar it’s pretty standard good guys vs evil corporation stuff.
And even if they were going to remix the story there’s nothing they could really do in the Midgar portion of the game that would shake people up.

#674

As mentioned, I think this linear part of the story is fine for the modern FF treatment. It’s the rest of it that’ll be a struggle.
