There probably won't be quite as many cutscenes in the next parts though. The Midgar section has a looot of story, characters, and motivations to introduce. You can't play a game of chess without setting up all the pieces first :D
Exactly. And the game makes it clear how easy the Easy Mode is. When players select the difficulty setting, the game even says that Easy Mode is recommended for those who want to enjoy the story and not let battles get in the way.
There's also an interesting little hint about where he got the idea to be a sorceress' knight from later on in the game. When you play as Laguna and he's making a movie about a knight defending a sorceress from a dragon, you see that his battle stance and the way he holds the gunblade is identical to Seifer. So it seems that Seifer got the idea for his "romantic dream" from the movie about Laguna and has copied his battle style from what he saw in the movie. It's ea...
Sadly, terminal cancer patients who are in such an advanced stage can't do much besides lie in bed and wait to die. They're either far too weak or in pain to do much else, and some people aren't even fully aware of what is going on around them because of the pain they're in :(
Ahh! Nostalgia just hit me like a freakin' freight train. This looks amazing! The Turks, Don Corneo, Cloud and Tifa doing mini-games in the Wall Market gym, the frog status in battle, Aerith's fancy red dress....wow! Just wow!
I can look past the Cid thing since it likely wasn't intentional. Square remade all of the character models including NPCs and monsters, but in that particular scene Cid is a part of the 2D pre-rendered background (one of the many tricks they used to save space on the disc) so it looks like Square accidentally overlooked it when remastering the game. He has a new character model in every other scene he's in.
Same! DP was one of my favorite games from last gen, but I never thought I'd see a sequel to it. So excited!
I don't know what their logic was, tbh. Because Shiva hasn't been censored, but Siren has been censored, even though they both have identical 'triangle pathes' covering their crotches. It makes no sense that they would take issue with one GF and not the other.
Joker has always been a guy who takes care about his appearance though. In the comics he wears three-piece suits that are obviously tailored for him, and his teeth are usually pretty white too. Some of the most iconic Joker art has the Joker looking pretty stylish...

It's awesome seeing Kiros and Ward updated.
To be fair, the woman he was supposed to kill was the woman who raised him. Galbadia probably should have looked into his background before hiring him for that job lol
I agree. It's the same with people who call Cloud 'emo' and don't seem to remember he had 3 discs worth of development and weird goofy "Let's mosey!" and "you look like a bear wrapped in a marshmallow" type stuff.
I hope they will include the goofy random battle enemies too.
I want to fight the sentient house, the ghost ship, the buff guy with the pendulum-blade for legs, the David Bowie horse with a guitar neck for a tail, the giant icicle, the random sexy lady in a bathing suit, and the enemy that's just a giant floating mirror. There's so much silly fun in FFVII.
None of the remastered older FF games have had voice acting added to them.
That's probably Square's input though. The aesthetic is very similar to Square's Dissidia character models, which is how Square have been portraying all the FF characters for some time now.
There ain't no gettin' offa this hype train we're on!
But the nonsense is part of the game's fun. The story takes a sudden turn into batshit insane territory in disc 2, and it gets more and more insane as the story goes on. I love it.
Though I will say that you missed out on a great finale if you got as far as Ultimecia's castle. I think the castle is one of the best 'dungeons' in the series, and fighting Ultimecia is one of my favorite final boss battles in any FF game.
Haha I chuckled at one of the previews that mentioned Cloud seemed unlikeable in the demo. He was always unlikeable at the start of the game. He's intentionally trying to be a detached, apathetic mercenary. It isn't until halfway through the Midgar section that he starts to open up and become more invested in the fight against ShinRa.
Kinda strange that they replaced him after so long, but he sounds pretty similar to Burton's Cloud so I'm not too bothered.
And especially since Vincent's backstory is related to Hojo's past and the events leading up to Sephiroth's creation/birth. His story was already tragic in the original game, but I'm betting the remake will really flesh out all the details and emphasize the tragedy and guilt he feels. There's no way he'll only be an optional character. It was always kinda silly he was optional in the original game, anyway.
As for Yuffie...In the remake there were a l...
