[Laina]

Why isn't the YouTube link from Darkmanx working? Oh well, here's the Kotaku article with the reveal trailer.

Who else is hoping they can keep it together when Aerith dies this time? (it's been 18 years, I'm not putting a spoiler tag on that)

Lemme just post the video right here, because fuck Kotaku.

Genesis is pretty much an example of everything wrong with the ComplicationCompilation. Personally, I think "kinda dumb" is a but too much of an understatement for DoC.

Yeah, I think it's more along the lines of abysmal than anything, really.

On top of that, as much as I liked Crisis Core, I really don't like a lot of the things done with it. Namely the inclusion of Genesis and Angeal. Like, is there a reason not a single citizen of Midgar remembers them once FF7 happens, but everyone remembers who Sephiroth is?

I've never even finished the original.

The lack of story ideas forces them to remake 7
And since the release date isn't given
You guys have to wait til FF15 and KH3 are done. mwahahaha!

At least this short announcement trailer looks better than KH3's "I have PS3 graphics" PS4 trailer.

That's because FF VI is nowhere near as popular or as successful as FFVII. FFVI can't even touch this game in term of hype.

But it's cool to hate FFVII these days (and love FFVI) I guess...

It'll remain one of the best in the series for me, though. Hopefully this remakes delivers. I'm afraid they'll change the gameplay systems...

I'm a FFVII hate-hipster.
I've hated this game since loooooong before it was cool to hate it.
I've hated it since it came out on the PSX.

And I own it, because occasionally I think "Maybe I'm wrong... maybe now I've matured enough to like it, like with stinky cheeses or beer?".
Then I play and and I'm like "Yup... still hate it".

And my opinion of this has existed before you even joined this forum, so yeah "I guess" it's cool to hate it now, but my hatred of this game is damn near Ancient level.

No gameplay?

No gameplay.

I don't trust SE to do this right.  Refuse to buy into hype until bull DLC/DRM is confirmed to NOT be connected to this and we see gameplay footage.

Pretty much how I feel about FFVIII, so *shrugs*

Fair enough. I DO think the game is definitely overrated. It was the first FF I played, but I won't defend it, as I think FFIII/VI is a better game. I can definitely see why people hate it though. My first guess would be how it was a drastic change in its overall aesthetic, kind of like CV did with LoS.

[theplottwist]

FFVII is to Final Fantasy what SotN is to Castlevania...

...Except that SotN has aged much better in comparison. But still.

[Maedhros]

There's nothing overrated about FFVII. It was the first 3D game and the game that popularized RPGs in the west. If it wasn't for it, I doubt PS1 would have received as many rpgs it had.

It's the real deal. Now, if people don't like the characters/story/systems from the game, then it doesn't matter, since it's just an opinion. I'm just talking about things that I can measure, like sales/popularity.

[Jop]

I never play this game and i dont want to play, i dont think its bad but ne.
 2 friends like this game and when they talk about this game i say thats why its the best game because they watch this video:

[BLOOD MONKEY]

I think that stream of bad games they put out was to test what to/what not to do for this remake here.
