Your expectations or hopes from FF7R

[Gallahadd]

I'm seeing ATB bars and a command menu, combined with some amazing graphics.

Hype levels increasing dramatically.

[draykorinee]

Lovely graphics.

[Mysterymask]

No expectations but a small wishlist

-Callbacks to Crisis Core and X...since X-2 basically confirmed they are the same universe now
-Make Vincent's Limit Break not suck
-Make Cait Sith not suck
-Make Red 13 not suck
-Quick Summon Animations please...KOTR is great the first 5 times..not so much the 30th
-Skippable Custcenes
-The Entire Compliation on the PS4 for a collectors edition...I mean Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus, Advent Children, a Translated Before Crisis (maybe updated a bit?), and hell throw in the snowboarding and motorcycle game for shits and giggles

[Gallahadd]

-Make Vincent's Limit Break not suck
-Make Cait Sith not suck
-Make Red 13 not suck

Ok, I'll give you the first two... but what was wrong with Red XIII? He was a solid all rounder with decent attack, decent magic and a couple of solid limit breaks...

What more could you ask for?

Level 4 limit break was trash. Earth Rave was decent. Lunatic High was a good buff saved you having to pop Haste. I always used him in my setup but mainly for magic. Although once I found out about the Overflow glitch let's just say I started using Vincent and Barret a lot more

And holy shit those graphics. Also looks like an ATB system combined with the open world which is fucking cool.

more along the line of 2 character slot syndrome...ask the question why would I bring Red over..lets say Yuffie Barret or Cid...though you are correct...Red doesn't suck but he's really mediocre compared to the rest of the cast...if FF7 had a Tier list

1. Barret
2. Cid
3. Cloud
4. Yuffie
5. Tifa
6. Red XIII
7. Vincent
8. Cait Sith

Yeah, ok that's actually a fair point. He had his uses, but wasn't as strong as the top tier heroes, I think his main place in the party was as the most solid allrounder. He wasn't as good as any of the specialists at any one thing, but he didn't have any weak areas either.

[Mysterymask]

well yeah he's pretty decent for leveling but I always end up not using him once I get Yuffie...plus end game sources just kinda get rid of any issues...

Also Make Tifa's Ultimate Weapon not suck...seriously who's idea was "Lets let it get stronger the more limit you have until a limit break where now you can't attack anymore"

Man i'm still wondering how they do the weapon fights. FF7 for the most part was a little grittier and less 'anime' for lack of a better term and i would hate to see some ridiculous shit like Noctis fighting Leviathan in XV. It fit there but 7 was a group of mercenaries made up of ex soldiers, martial artists and so on. It was super corny in Advent Children and that ruined a lot of characters, well, character for the 7 micro franchise. So how do you make the original 7 style nuerotic mess that was Cloud pre AC fight something like Ruby Weapon scale wise?

I can only guess you fight them on vehicles some way like Sin on the way to Luca in FFX. Otherwise they go full advent children which would honestly be kind of lame for a game where the ridiculous stuff outside limit breaks was pretty much materia based and that went with the theme of "abusing mako grants amazing abilities but its killing the planet" in 7.

My hope (not expectation) is that they will cancel it and decide to do a remake of Final Fantasy IV instead.

[Hablion]

I am not likely to buy it til all parts are out and are in the discount bin/bundled I really don't want another (dot)hack/ 2 year wait between parts of the game type of game.

[Deleted]

The game to actually be optimised and have decent performance out of the box, but this is SE, other then the dev team for FF14, SE has a long way to go in terms of technical prowess and the game not tanking on performance.

[Low Hanging Fruit]

My expectation for this game boils down to a single question.

How are they going to fuck this up? (because they will)

I dont mind anime style but GOD...the Leviathan fight was so ...underwhelming and I really hope the weapon fight doesn't end up like *mash circle until he dies*

That was XV in general, looks nice but shallow as fuuuccck.

They already did that.

VII is definitely one of the more "anime" games in the series. It has anime tropes all over the place. On the other hand XV is the most western BY FAR(note neither of these statements has anything to do with how good I feel each game is).

Does not compute.

Liked the story though like 15 I would put in as one of the better FF games...not the best..a bit below 7 and maybe 5 but still better the NES games and a boatload of other JRPGs...the combat ..I definitely agree was quite shallow

[dope_danny]

FFXV had some nice characters, prompto, ignis and especially Ardyn but outside of graphics i'll take FFV over FFXV anyday.

Have you not played 7 in a while? In 7 you are a group of at best martial artists and soldiers on a globe trotting quest to stop jenova/sephiroth and save the world with the odds stacked against them. Often with enemies beaten by intervention by groups like Shinra because even with the limit breaks and mako/materia powers they are just people. In 15 you are a literal chosen one god king destined to win everything forever and you have fights like leviathan that are ridiculous on a level out of a platinum game.
If 7 is the more anime ish of the two you must be about two decades behind in how shonen tropes work.

[fangless]

With how vital magic/summons were to the game, I'm more than certain the battle system is going to be all sorts of ruined, when it follows the FF15 route.

I honestly have super low expectations for this, especially with whatever piece meal episodes it will be sold in.


If the episodes are even remotely ridiculous and segmented for obvious cash grab status, there's no way in hell I buy any of them. I'm already offended by basically all DLC as is, and this one won't fly.

[dope_danny]

I don't know how much of it they can make 15 style "spam to win" gameplay. I mean shit folks forget there is a large section where Cloud is a vegetable in a wheelchair in the final act, can't imagine they will make another chapter 10 experience out of that
