New Final Fantasy VII Remake Images Revealed

Square Enix displayed a few pieces of artwork of the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake for PS4 as part of an exhibition in Tokyo.

PhoenixUp2299d ago

I still feel like this game is a myth than anything to honestly get excited for. It’s going to be ages till we even see any footage of scenes that include other party members like Tifa, Aerith, Red XIII, Yuffie, Cait Sith, Cid, & Vincent

The 10th Rider2298d ago

Yeah, I mean we're just now getting concept art for a game that was announced two and a half years ago.

The 10th Rider2297d ago (Edited 2297d ago )

@doos_vd_kak,

Why? I know we've gotten a gameplay trailer since then, but the fact remains that it's over two and a half years since the announcement and here we are getting excited over a few pieces of concept art that aren't even direct feed . . . all because there's been so little shown. Square Enix needs to get their s*** together and stop revealing things years and years before release.

It's been two and a half years, there's no reason concept art should be what we're getting excited for.

Obscure_Observer2297d ago

Looks beautiful! But i won´t be surprised if it turn out to be a PS5 release game.

Exactly, TechnoGoat—exactly. We just think we're ready for the epicosity that will be Final Fantasy VII: Cloud IX. Minds will fuse, melt and schism apart at E3 this year...

WilliamSheridan2297d ago

It's a remake for Christs sake! I appreciate a good game getting upgraded, but remakes shouldn't be that exciting. I'd it takes that long to do, I'd rather they just make a new game!!

Rockstar2297d ago

PS5 Launch game. You read it here!

Godmars2902298d ago

Games. Purial. Its not just going to be a one and done remake, but yet another sub-series.

Cardenjs2298d ago

I had believed it was going to be "episodic"

Godmars2902298d ago

it multiple installments that may go anywhere from $40 to $60 each. With addition general and event DLC. Custom MTs options.

camel_toad2298d ago

"Purial" - cool new way of spelling plural? Sorry to go grammar police on you, but I had to google it to make sure it wasn't some word I had never heard of.

SarcasticDuck2298d ago

I'm a SE fan but my gawd how i hate the way they handle business this days. Announcing their biggest games years before they get released only exhausts the hype!

ImportGamer30042298d ago (Edited 2298d ago )

Exactly look at Final Fantasy Versus XIII aka FFXV that game was announced back at E3 2006 and still we ended up having to wait 10 years and in the midst of all this SE decided hey let's make 2 sequels to Final Fantasy XIII that nobody asked for, and that further convolute the story of an already dreadful trilogy that pales in comparison to other lower budget jrpg's of last gen that had far more likable characters such as Tales of Xillia, Valkyria Chronicles, and even Xenoblade Chronicles of which fared considerably better.

Don't get me started on FFXV i am angry that SE decided after hyping the hell out of that game that they cut out the Niflheim invasion that was supposed to be a part of FFXV but instead made part of that as KingsGlaive. The story to FFXV was incomplete with some plot holes that convoluted the whole of the story, and gameplay that became stale after a while as all you had to do was hold Circle or B if you're playing on XB1, and a year later the game is being patched with another season pass on the way after the Royal Edition releases. In fact as someone who has beaten FFXV i can say NieR: Automata is way better as an action RPG than FFXV. While NieR: Automata does have it's repetitive moments the monotonous moments are very few as there are bullet hell Shmup moments and some platforming elements. The story is complete though to get the first ending takes less than 30 hours, and there are 26 endings but most of them can be finished in less than 8 - 14 hours. In fact the more endings you finish the more the whole of the story starts to gradually make more sense, and let me tell you the writer for the game Yoko Taro is a genius who should have written the story for Final Fantasy XV and they should have told them how they want the premise of the story to be about and he could've expanded upon it. This guy is such a fantastic writer that if he ever wrote his stories for the games he's had a part in i'd definitely buy those books day 1.

Obscure_Observer2297d ago

@SarcasticDuck

Yeah, then we have to hear their constant complains about how 5 milions sold was a flop to then.

Cardenjs2298d ago

It's being made concurrently with KH3, I can understand that slowing down both games.

dmonee2297d ago

I concur. This will have to be a next generation game. Which will delay it again

SwampthingsSon2297d ago

SE said it would come out in an episodic style to speed production up... I don’t think that helped much.

Cardenjs2298d ago

This game will come out a year, AT LEAST, after KH3

Sgt_Slaughter2298d ago

Honestly, PS5 launch title doesn't sound too far out of the realm of possibility

Gardenia2298d ago

To be honest, I wish they worked on the remake with the next gen in mind and not making it episodes but a full game. Take the time and release it for the PS5. Because if they screw this up...

Sgt_Slaughter2298d ago

If they mess this up or put too much extra fluff like microtransactions or DLC then they'll lose a ton of fans

BABY-JEDI2298d ago

I miss looking forward to the remake (I loved the original). But I'm not chasing the hype train. It will be brilliant, but SE take your time 😄

FreddyFazbear2298d ago

Lame Just Artwork. After the FFXV Royal Edition, Im not surprised square would release an incomplete game. They releally are slow in making games it took them a whole year to add those contents on FFXV? like really?? And judging from the Trailer of royal edition there is a cutscene where old noctis talking to his remaining people which dressed as kingsglaives and Cor is also at his side before assaulting insomnia. Like really?? your adding another Cutscene that should have been at launch? Wow

TricksterArrow2298d ago

This has nothing to do with FF7 tho.

FreddyFazbear2298d ago (Edited 2298d ago )

I just inserted my thoughts about how square is right now regarding developing games. All they can show is a lame artwork? they can be bothered to show just 1 or 2 screencaps of the game itself?? I said about FFXV royal edition because i think thats what is going to happen to FF7 remake sell you an incomplete game also episodic and after 1 or 2 years, they will sell you the Complete Edition.

PixelOmen2298d ago

I def don't disagree that SE takes forever to do anything, and that FFXV was incomplete, but they've added a boatload of stuff to that game in the last year. It's been a lot more than just a cutscene.

Gatsu2298d ago (Edited 2298d ago )

For example, Cyberpunk 2077 was revealed 5 years ago and still dont know when it release... so it's lame too? Pretty normal to take long time for a good game.

Also CDProjekt hasnt shown pretty much anything since the reveal trailer of their upcoming game.

FreddyFazbear2298d ago (Edited 2298d ago )

Bro FFXV (FF Versus XIII) was how long since reveal?? Since E3 2006?? And they released it 10 years later as an incomplete and unfinished game?? indirectly admitting this by releasing The royal Edition which includes cutscenes not in the DLCs which is an important part of the story like Noctis Talking to remaining hunters dressed as kingsglaive with cor at his side. Cyberpunk was 5 years but FFXV 10 years so there should be no excuse even saying that it should be a PS3 game moved to PS4 so everything should be scrapped is still a lame excuse. No its not normal. Guerilla games released an Open World Horizon Zero dawn. After killzone in 2013 they released after 4 years a complete game. no bullcrap and the frozen wilds is a very lengthy dlc imagine they could cram all those within 4 years and still they are successful. CDprojeckt atleast even taking long they released the game. While Square who knows when will FF7 gets releases i would also be pissed if they moved it to PS5 so it will take another several years and you need to buy a new console. And even if making a cross gen game is not good since it will held back the games potential like cross gen dragon age inquisition to Witcher 3 which is current gen only, even the dev of DA admitted they should not have made the game cross gen. I dont know what your getting at with your comment. Is it defending square?? They are teaching us not to buy games Day one!! its not just about dlcs but other content that should be in the game. How about those of us who bought the vanilla game?? oh right $20 for the royal edition on the PSN and the Royal Edition retail will of course be $60. nice.

Nebaku2297d ago

Maybe you should take into account that they DIDN'T show "lame artwork"? A fan uploaded camera shots he wasn't supposed to from an event. This wasn't a press release on their part.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Understands That A Tonberry Is The Scariest Thing In The World

The tiny green slasher villain returns in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, and is as frightening as ever.

Cacabunga1d 16h ago

Yes Tonberry is terrifying..

MeteorPanda1d 15h ago

The way it was handled was so dumb. One shots in melee...your teammates are to ostupid to get away from its attack. So you most often end up alone in a certain fight.

Hofstaderman1d 12h ago

Two words, one accessory....Safety Bit

MeteorPanda1d 8h ago

Needing an accessory to keep a.i from dying and only one of them isnt great.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

ravens5228d ago

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

MrNinosan28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5227d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212127d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

MrNinosan27d ago

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5227d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5227d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani27d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum28d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman28d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim27d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

I disagree Batman
