so wait, does the storyline and gameplay still stick to the same old ff7 or is this a totally new one ? hmm

Regarding the teaser trailer
Nomura: “We’re using part of that video in the game. We’re going to raise the quality even more.”

Regarding the choice of hardware
“You’ll be able to play it first on PlayStation 4, that’s for certain. We’re not thinking beyond that yet, so after that is undecided. Since we’re bringing out PlayStation 4 title after PlayStation 4 title, it’d be great if we can give the hardware and industry a boost.”

It’s not just an HD-ification, right?
“Final Fantasy VII is special, and we can’t ‘exceed’ the game by simply making the graphics nicer. That’s not a thing to be excited about.
“Precisely because it’s a full remake, I want to challenge what’s fun and what’s possible now.”

Will the scenario change or new characters appear?
“There won’t be new characters. As for the visual taste, we’re doing them to match today’s visuals and appear closer to reality.”

Regarding the game system
“I can’t share details, but we’re changing it to a more realistic system.”

It looks more like FF13 to me... which I actually... hate FF13.....

But I saw the battle system. Btm left corner, it has the same menu list as the old Final Fantasy, Magic, Summon and item. I guess the Materia system is still intact. I'm wondering how will they activate magic and summon with all the action rpg ongoing....    

Well unlike Life is Strange or any other episodic releases, I doubt we are going to get a 2-months per episode sort of thing. Like I said, it'd be funny if the final part comes in PS5 or something.

After all, XV isn't even done.
KH3... who knows how far that's done?
VII Remake... lol, it would either be the some of the final AAA release on the PS4 or squeenix you know, being squeenix will port the entire thing to the PS5 and ask for more moneh.
