Final Fantasy VII remake

[Emma]

HAHA I just keep thinking of more and more things that are just going to be crazy if they put them in the remake. What I'm actually concerned about most is that they'll make it completely humourless - I do like the Compilation (mostly....), but it lost a lot of the charm and humour (and yeah, WEIRDNESS) of the game so I'd hate for the remake to do that. I don't especially trust Nomura tbh, and he's in charge. Obviously lots of things will change and I'm ready for that, but I don't to lose the...spirit of the game, I guess?

Also I don't want them to use the Turks as primarily comic relief like they did in AC. I know there was some of that in the game, but they were also pretty ruthless and threatening. Did everyone just forget that Reno dropped the plate on Sector 7 and never, ever showed any remorse for it? Even Reeve shows remorse for what he did while at Shinra and as far as I know never committed any acts of mass murder.

LARISSA ISN'T IT GREAT? WE CAN TLDR FOREVER TOGETHER. I have discovered the last few days that I'm not tired of talking about this game. Almost 20 years later. And now we're going to have the PS4 port to nitpick PLUS the whole new remake. I'm so glad I went with a ps4 and not an xbox one now, tbh. Worth it just for this.

Emma, have you seen the Complete version of AC? There's a lot of new stuff in there that wasn't in the original movie (including some new stuff with the Turks you might like). Personally I'm curious if they'll work anything in from Before Crisis with regard to Avalanche, especially given the soldiers seen in the trailer. HMMM.

And yeah I'm with you on keeping the spirit of the game. I fully expect things to change but please just keep FF7 weird and wacky because that's the game it is. I mean, there's a mako reactor with a FIFTY-FOOT BIRD ON TOP OF IT. Can we talk about Fort Condor because SERIOUSLY, WHAT WAS UP WITH THAT? NO ONE EVER EXPLAINS THAT. I'm trying to imagine that in HD and I just can't do it.

I was already thinking about getting a PS4 but this is what sold me, sob. At least I know it won't come out until 2020 because, you know, Square Enix.

I actually haven't! I've been meaning to for years tbh. I'll have to get my hands on it (and also finally watch all those Before Crisis videos on youtube because I think my current motivation to get my old school shrine done is so I can work on my Turks site asap.)

LMAO there's just more and more stuff that you think of that is just going to be TOTALLY CRAZY in hd. Bring it, Square Enix. BRING IT.

I want to guess that it'll be out in 2017, because it's the 20th anniversary and they like to make a big deal out of these things. But I'm probably being far too optimistic about that.

Reno dropping Don Corneo off a cliff in HD.
