They're boned
You mean the directorial mastermind behind FFX-2, all three FFXIII's and Mobius FF, aka 4 of the least well-regarded main series titles and one gacha game?

Honestly don't see the problem. I mean, what could possibly go wrong? /s
I mean... gameplay wise FFX-2 was pretty good I think.
Yeah its saving grace, you know, if FFX-2 wasn't tied to FFX in anyway and toned down the creepy fanservice it would actually be a pretty darn good game.
Eh, the outfits in that game were so over the top that it didn't really register to me as fanservice at the time. Not that it isn't fanservice but the general tone just seems more... runway model eccentric than sexy stripper.

So today the Japanese magazine Famitsu released a bunch of new screenshots and some updates with story events and other little tidbits of information.

At the Game Awards there was a new trailer which didn't show a lot of new stuff, but it did tease a few new things that haven't been seen yet. It does look like Tifa's model was again updated and smoothed out as well as Aerith's, and both girls are looking really good for the upcoming game.

The screenshots in the Famitsu article above further show more of Sephiroth, as well as an explaination of a new villain we saw only briefly in the TGS trailer. The new soldier is called Roche and apparently is crazy on a motorcycle, which would be interesting if he was a boss that you have to deal with Via the motorcycle mini game.

This Midgar section is looking really really good. I just hope that the promise of how expanded it will be doesn't turn out to be a bunch of hot air.
Have they confirmed how far they are going to go with this "Part 1" state of the game?

Is it gonna end as soon as we leave Midgar?

Because in the actual original game Midgar was like only a fraction of Disc 1. Disc 1 goes as far as the Temple of the Ancients and I think Aerith's death.

Yes so that's the big unknown about the game. They said the game is going to only be Midgar, however they've expanded the story and Midgar to be a full game by itself. They also said the game would be 2 blu-ray discs worth of content (like Red Dead 2). The previews have teased a LOT of events that don't happen in the original game, so it is expanded.

The real question is if the game is as expanded as they say it is.

Like I stated above, they've shown the progression systems of the game and there appears to be more than enough progression to suggest a fairly decent length RPG, and plenty of extra grinding if you want that, so I personally am leaning towards believing them on the amount of content in this "part 1". I dunno if it'll be good content, but there are plenty of stories they could tell by allowing you to access more of Midgar and the way it looks, I think we'll be able to go to a lot more places in the city.

We'll have to see.

Wouldn?t that be crazy if they released it in 3 episodes similar to how it was on 3 discs originally, only spread out into next gen (of course, dat hook?s a killer) and greatly expanded (depth).

Would make sense given how BC is a confirmed feature next gen, at least for current gen games.

You know I have been thinking about that for a while and it makes sense.

This game is coming at the end of the Playstation 4 era, and as such is going to be a semi-open world city in an expanded portion of the game.

But the next game could easily jump to Ps5 and incorporate the open world section, which would fit the upgraded hardware well and allow them to put a much larger portion of the story into a single game. Maybe enough to split the rest of the game into two additional parts, thus making this a FF7 trilogy.

Well Disc 1 started at the AVALANCHE raid in the Shinra Reactor in Midgar and ended as far as all the way to Aerith's death.

Heck you get to recruit every single playable character in the party of FF7 in Disc 1.

If this "Part 1" of the Reamke is only going to be in Midgar, makes me wonder how far they will go in Part 2? And how long cane we expect a Part 2?

And that's another thing, this first game is being made with the Playstation 4. Once they go into the other parts, are the PS4 fans now left in the dust? Are they gonna continue making FF 7 Remake parts for the PS4 anyway?

I would assume so. They would probably make a downrezzed version for PS4. And PS5 people would get the full crazy thing.

Though that does depend. Because if Part 2 isn't until 2022, that's two years into the PS5 and they may just make it for the PS5 and ignore the PS4. Because games tend to move on into the next system after about a year sometimes less.

The saving grace is the PS5 (if rumors are true) being able to play the PS4 titles as well so people can freely go back to PArt 1 without spliting it between two systems.

Spoiler alert, I heard there was one character you weren't supposed to main.

I forgotten how great the music is other then the overplayed ones. And I understand why Sephiroth is one of the more if not the best villain in the series.

I mean here's your villains up to this point:

Garland: Died in the first chapter and had this weird time travel plot (though I liked him in Dissidia)

Emperor Mateus: Conceptually he is effective, he's brutal and ambitious, but he just comes off as bland.

Xande: Victim of the first Villain Switcheroo. Who gives a fuck about the CLOUD OF DAAAAAAARKNEESSS!!

Golbez: Again a Switcheroo, and worse he became a good guy in the end. Who the hell is Zemus?

Exdeath: Perhaps the most unintentionally hilarious villain.

Kefka: The only one to Rival Sephiroth.

Then after 7 we got Ultemecia/Edea, I don't know I never beaten 8 to this day.

Kuja: Victim of Switcheroo, but I say he fairs better then Golbez because we see him to the very end as the bad guy.

FF X had too many villains I think: Is it Seymour? Is it Sin, is it Yevon, is it Jecht? I do think Sin on its own is a interesting take on the antagonist.

FF 12 kinda makes me sad because remember this series took a completely different direction after Matsuno left the director's chair. But Vayne Solidor had simple motivations, he just wanted to be the God Emperor of the World, he just didn't have enough screentime.

And I have not played 13 and 15 at all to comment.

So yeah you kinda understand why Sephiroth sticks out among the pack:

Yeah there definitely is a reason. However it would be unfair not to point out that Sephiroth is also a ruse and you are actually chasing his mom the whole time. So technically, it's another bait and switch.

So the entire gameplay demo has been leaked online. You can watch it above.

Additionally the demo apparently has files from all over the full game, and dataminers have begun to leak everything from materia, to the entire sound track, to endgame bosses and story moments.

This is shortly after it was revealed from a PSN leak that the Demo and the FULL GAME were uploaded onto the PSN server on a mirror that anyone on the internet had full access too. The full game was pulled immediately, but the Demo stayed up and people have played it, datamined the shit out of it and caused a flood on information to pour over twitter and reddit.

After watching the Demo gameplay though, I can say the game looks just as good as I had hoped it would be and am looking even more forward to this thing than ever.

Personally I'm a spoiler fan, I don't feel ruined by getting spoiled on things, so I have been drinking up these leaks like a hungry whore. However I understand that other people have some phobia of knowing things so I wont state any spoilers here directly. They aren't hard to find if anyone wants to check it out though.
