Very hype for this game, a little bit sad we didn't have a confirmation for FF9 remake but I will be patient
That's happening
I can't tell you how I know, but it is
And I'm being serious btw, I am not one of the r/gamingleaksandrumors peeps, I usually don't know shit, except for this one instance lmao
Yeah it was in the Nvidia leak, so it will happen some day, but not hearing about it kind of prove it will not be for now. Probably after FF7R Part 2
We'll see! It's smaller in scope so they might bring it up sooner than later, or even at a direct, like they did with the trials of mana remake
Honestly the part I'm most hyped about is the fact that it's going to ship on two discs. I can't remember the last time we got a JRPG on multiple discs. (Although I guess we aren't going to get the satisfaction of swapping the discs mid-game since you'll probably have to install the whole game from both discs up front.)
I'm really glad to see that we'll be able to explore the overworld. I hope it will actually have as much freedom as the trailer seems to suggest. (I'm not expecting an open world or anything, I'm just expecting a structure similar to the original game.)
I'm also glad to see that Yuffie and Red XIII are playable as party members. I'm hoping that we can choose our party composition like in the original game, although I won't be surprised if party composition is still mandated by the story like in FF7 Remake.
One of the things that bothered me about the original FF7 is that certain party members felt completely arbitrary. You could ignore them completely, and it would have zero impact on the game. I mean... why did we need Cait Sith? WHY?
With FF7 Remake and Rebirth though, they have a chance to improve things. If the game forces us to use Red XIII in order to meaningfully develop his character in the process, I don't have an issue with that, even if I have to bench Tifa for 30 minutes. Make the characters more memorable, give them greater relevance in the story, and I'm willing to put up with the occasional railroading.
Ideally I think it would make sense to keep the cast of characters small so they all participate in the story, but you still have the choice of who to battle with. But then it would be hard to do stuff like ambient dialogue between characters or whatever, and it wouldn't make sense visually for the non-party members to disappear from the screen even though they're canonically supposed to be there. So honestly I doubt the game is going to give us the option to choose our party members.
Next one gon be called Reincarnation or ReMix, watch.
My money is on "Reunion", personally.
I'm very excited for this. The gameplay of 7R was so fun. And I have a pretty high tolerance for whatever weirdness Square wants to add to the games. I've played all the Kingdom Hearts games, there is (almost) nothing they can do to surprise me.
I really hope they don't mess with the story any more than they did. The ending of the last one felt like we were walking into Kingdom Hearts territory of nonsensical.
That, and I hope it comes to PC soon after release... FF7R took forever to get over here.
