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

I just want to know why

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/168653-final-fantasy-vii-remake/72027538

OVER 70% want to keep turn based, so why, why, why????????????

I just don't get it, this is why we can't have nice things, because retards (the director) make decisions which are just BAD to change what people want!

Edit - My question of 'why' is not to those that want to keep it turn based, because I am one of those, but to the director who wants to change that! Did any of you read the article??

I just want a remaster with better controls(not the tank controls via DPAD), better sound, better visuals, TURN BASED ACTION. The only thing they could improve is to add new Materias. Everything else should stay the same.

All I know is that there better be Materia right at the center of it and it better work as good as it did in the original.

Please don't come with stupid ideas for the sake of changing something that doesn't need to be changed to begin with.

It's bad enough what's been done to FFXIII...

I really hope they keep it to a turn-based system and nothing else. That is what made the game spectacular and so many games like it like Xenogears. I miss turn-based action RPG's cause it allowed for more cinematic moves to be performed like the first Xenosaga on Playstation 2. I understand possibly adding things to the turn-based combat system to make it more fluid and designed looking and allow the player to be drawn into the fight, but don't mess this up please. There just are certain games that should have the turn-based combat system and there are those who should have the more free roaming combat system. This game needs to stick with the turn-based combat system and just have additional techniques, cinematic's and other things added to it to make it better and more fun.

Im more interested now. Im glad they arent afraid to change some things. I've already beaten the original multiple times.

Oh god they're gonna turn it into that shit from ff13 aren't they? Why square enix insists on ruining this franchise is beyond me.

I don't care. just keep the characters, music and places intact and make them look great, I really don't care if you make combat a trading card game or a dance dance revolution thing, but don't touch the story.

Well it seems it's happening. I hope at least they put the option to toggle the combat between the new and the classic ATB system. Probably the best solution and it wouldn't delay much the release since the game will take at least 5 years to finish anyway.

This is exactly why the E3 announcement scared the crap out of me.

If they make it real-time action-oriented, then it's all going downhill.

They should really specify if they are going turn-based or not. They should obviously go turn-based but Square is really good at messing things up so...

Final fantasy advent childern complete edition is the best movie and follows the story on strongly, this version of the game will bring it perfectly into the style of the universe shown in the spin off games derge and crisis i hope in some respects the people who played them in the film will repraise there roles, the narraritor in the trailer sounds like vincent,

The movie was epic the spin off games hold there own and would like a hd version of the psp core and ps2 cerberus

Starting to sound more like a Reboot than a Remake.

Remakes tend to focus on production values and keeping the nostalgic mechanics of the original games. Offering new variations; but nothing that alienates its core fanbase.

Reboot however. Is basically same name, change everything else.

They're gonna mess it up.

Does it mean that they are getting rid of the camp undertones and slight racism in the game?? I really hope that if it is voice acted- they get Mr T to voice Barrett.... thats the only voice I had in my head when playing the original!

I actually have a friend now who has done nothing but bitch moan and complain that turn based combat has no place in modern gaming this is while he playing the Final Fantasy X (HD Remaster) failing to see it's the same game from 2001 with pretty graphics.

Now onto the relevant point, I've got to say any time FF7 and dramatic changes are put in the same sentence can be almost always seen as a bad idea, it needs it's core to be kept the same, almost everything about FF7 worked (Minus the lousy translation) It was easy enough to pick and play, TB combat meant you had great control in how you fight each and every battle.

What they will change I have no idea how can you make changes while keeping it recognisable? That's the bit that keeps me both worried and yet somehow curious. I don't want them to change what made it an amazing experience, and I'm excited to see it finally take on modern competition and show all those FF7 wouldn't hold up along side a modern RPG doomsayers completely how wrong they truly are. Can it surpass the original that I highly doubt but you never know they may get damn close.

nomura wat ur doing? nomura staph!

Oh crap, real-time combat bull**** incoming. F*** you SE if that happens.

Wow so many people freaking out and making assumptions without having seen the actual game. Anyways, they have my attention, at least until some actual gameplay is shown.

The s*** will slowly hit the fan until it gets splattered in everyone's faces...
