Final Fantasy 7 Remake's "Dramatic Changes" to Combat Discussed

if it s real time better be only 1 character,not with 2 dummies bots walking arround

Finally! It would be such a waste to give the main character such a big sword and everything the player could do with it was clicking on their preferable choice of attack variation as if they are playing a card game in the time before computers.

as long as its fun :)

As long as they drop Turn-Based combat (Because you fight someone by waiting for your turn... )
And random battles (because flocks of enemies are invisible...

We need a real-time battle system. X=swing sword B=Magic kind of system.

Then this game would be amazing, because the combat is the one thing that's always kept me out of Final Fantasy. It's just plain stupid.

@XCrimsonSamurai: I have an idea. YOU stop crying about the turn based system. Go play any other fucking RPG if you don't want turned based combat.

@XCrimsonSamurai: FF13 is an abomination for ATB fans.

Going back and playing old turn-based games makes my teeth grind.

By all means, have an 'ATB Mode' in there. Appease the older gamers that can't let go.

But for the sake of mine and others sanity, please make it optional.

"The company doesn't want to interfere with what makes the original title so iconic. However, it also wants to give it a fresh feel."

Do one or the other, you can't have it both ways and not make it a massive clusterfuck.

This game was so good when it came out because of the ground breaking things it done during its time like first 3D Graphics for a Role Playing Game The amount of FMV/CG and the quality of them for the time period Identifiable protagonist a Black Party Member also the Death of Party Member

Use of language Weird situations

Conjuring of emotions within the player

Mini games/Chocobo Raising/Racing/Snowboarding I absolutely loved the game I was 10 when it came out played it at age 12 and again at 16 but since than so many other types of combat games have came out that turn based to me is t fun I like to be a character and control his actions. If this game the remake had vindictus type combat where you have to dodge and be on your toes in combat and really be in the action instead of watching it like turn based :( you still will get the full affect of final fantasy 7 plus me being 27 now my son who is 11 will get to experience the game in his generation standards and mine aswell because I love technology and being in total control of cloud in a action rpg final fantasy... Would be insane to play lol but that's just me

I also played Swg which was best mmo I ever played when it came out through the the changes they made it sucked :( combat wise but if they made a Swg game today with today's action combat... Like vindictus I would be in heaven lol

The cutting away to fights is the Random world encounter method. I can see getting into real time fights with enemies onscreen and still have an ATB system once the fight starts. Menus are going to be a part of this.

It might be just me, but I would really like to have combat like Kingdom Hearts 2 or Dissidia as far as the free movement goes. Kingdom Hearts still has my favorite combat system of any game I've played, besides Dark Souls. But that wouldn't work at all.

Change the combat system will ruin the game.

In the graphical part, i don't believe it isn't that bad 10 years old graphics because watching the movie in BD it's still a no match comparison for actual console graphics.

What ever elation and near on tears after the E3 12' FF7 remake is slowly growing into a sour pit in my stomach. Changing the materia system is insane - turn base is still loved, linear is still loved - just look at the huge resurgence of RPGs, CRPGs over the last couple of years. For instance Bravely Default. Grandia 2 hd remake coming out tomorrow.

Please do not take what is one of the best things about FF7 - and apply the publisher/ accounting / focus-groups shellac coating to it. Changing FF7 combat system beyond updating graphics is like adding ice to Scotch.

I better get direct control of Tifa's juggs or it's a no buy.

All I can say that I hope they do not make combat like Final Fantasy XIII.

I've always thought that some of Nomura's business decisions are rooted in jealously and contempt for his former superiors. I remember reading about when he joined the company during the FF7 days, and lets just say certain people put him in his place and told him to focus more on what he was specifically given to work on, which was character design namely. For someone who many deem 'talented' I'm sure this didn't sit well with him.

The fact that he mentions the game not being made into a shooter worries me. From that I take that the battle system is actually vastly changed in regards to the ATB. Its something entirely different which leads me to believe that its literally a carbon copy of the battle systems released post FF12. The sarcastic tone mentioning shooters is another red flag in and of itself because lets be honest, why would a FF7 remake ever go into that territory? What the hell is going on at Square Enix?

PLEASE BE TURN BASED

I was kinda hoping it'd be action combat, but it sounds like it'll be some modernized version of ATB.

I guess 13's ATB system was pretty dynamic and fun, but I still prefer straight action. But modernized ATB is acceptable.

People who want just the old system as it was originally are stuck in the past imo. I mean, I've played through 7 multiple times, and I love that game, but that gameplay is OLD and TIRED.

Here comes the flame.

You know, he's basically saying it has to still be some form of ATB... I hope.

Advent Children panned....????

I still consider it the best 3d animation movie ever made.
