Oh my god, I think this announcement actually broke GAF.
-
Close, it was the shenmue 3 announcement. The internet wasn't meant to contain both announcements so close together.
-
LOL! 503 service unavailable

The voice acting will either make or break this one. The cutesy character models and expressions were part of its charm. Those will be gone with a graphics overhaul so those expressions will be in the hands of the voice actors... unless they stick with the original design of no voice acting which would be interesting but kill their sales from younger players.
-
So true, that kills most JRPGs nowadays
-
They are doing a remake.
I am sure there will be full voice acting, and turn based will be gone. I have no idea if the combat will be more like 12/13 or 15. I think their best bet would be 12's style. Also, I'm pretty sure the overworld will be gone as well.
I think the mini games will likely stay. They have a lot of issues with trying to balance this as a AAA title that can please the mass market and please older fans of the game. There's further questions of what extra story elements they will include, and what they will exclude (honeybee inn?)-
-
yah i hope they don't rework the entire game... I just want a HD version of FF7!

Very true. And if the Advent Children movie gives us any clue towards the narrative style, then the dialogue/cutscenes will be unbearable

I'm a little bit worried that they're going full on remake. The best way to do this would be lighter touch, similar to how ff4 was done.
-
I can't decide how I feel about this. I'd be okay to get away from squaty characters. But, that was also part of the charm. Also, there's been debate and argument about the background. Are they really going to redraw and re-render all the cut scenes? That' the only way this is even worth talking about. But, I can't find any kind of details. The trailer doesn't really tell us much.
-
as they said Remake I kinda get the feeling it will be a completely fully 3D? Will have to wait to see actual gameplay though, not a CG cutscene.

-
So did I!!!! oh wait what is this brown stuff in my pants! Dang you playstation, to much awesome too fast!
-

Man, I dunno, all these resources to remake a game that still holds up OK.
On the other hand, Square's ambitions were clearly beyond the PS1 at the time, so maybe this will be the game they always wanted to make. -
cross dressing cloud should be interesting in high res

lol i love watching the reaction videos where people go apeshit
check out this one at a florida movie theater

The massive outpouring of emotion is truly arresting. That so much feeling can pour out of people over a game just shows what an incredibly powerful medium it is.
In some way, this Sony presser is a watershed moment in the history of human creativity and entertainment for me - the point where it's beyond a shadow of a doubt that enormous human effort is going to be expended going forward as far into the future as one would like to think, in service of bringing more and more verisimilitude in interactive entertainment to the public. I won't be around to see it, but there will be a day when all other media will be eclipsed by what we call games today. Books, paintings, movies will all seem as archaic as Babylonian bronze statues of gods are to us today.
It's fascinating to be living in this juncture where everything else stopped mattering as much as interactive games.

So are they still doing the PC version release to PS4 that they announced previously?
-
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!!
-
-
Without Matsuno, I'm not sure I'd want it.

I don't like much and my expressions are really monotone, but my family was frightened when they saw my grill as I saw this announcement. Not only was I smiling (which hurt my face), but I stood up and clapped and asked them to do the same, which they did (although they didn't know why). LOL!
I just really want to pre-order the super, mega, collectors, deluxe, hush edition right now! -
Probably still 2+ years away but AWESOME!!
