FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH - Summer Game Fest 2023 Trailer 

Right? The scene in FF7:Remake when the Sector falls and they get to the top and Tifa/Barret gasp while Cloud starts walking away, only for him to turn and walk back, total silence other than the sound of his steps on the metal plating - there's no way you could do that in 1997. Seeing so many amazing scenes in full cinematic presentation is just insane. Would have blown my kid mind to know this was going to happen 25 years later. And now that they seem to have split the timeline, it's not just a "playing through the same story a second time"; there are things that I don't know since the story is following a different path. While some people are annoyed about that, "new to me" is fine, since it gives me a reason to really get invested since I DON'T know the outcome already.

Final fantasy "remake" was never a remake, it was a sequel! Dirge of cerberus and Advent children are cannon!!!

@@ms.pirate agreed. But I kinda like that. It means I don't already know the outcome, which means more ability to get invested. It's not just "same story with a new coat of paint". I think the actual timeline here is original (and the before crisis/crisis core stuff), then Advent Children (then possibly DoC), then Sephrioth's soul somehow manages to go back in time, which causes a split in the timeline and two parallel ones (at least two). As long as they DON'T pull a Chrono Cross and kill off all the original characters - have them show up as parallel timeline images that are destroyed (spoiler for THAT game, but they kill of Pometheus and then the future timeline that Chrono, Marle, and Luca fought for as well as their spirits/ghosts, more or less, showing at Lenne's Bell in the Sea of Eden, and then again at the beach at the very end of the game, "Where Angels lose their way"; and it's more or less accepted canon that Chrono and Marle die in an attack on their castle and Luca dies in the orphanage fire, possibly just killed by Lynx, though we don't know FOR SURE either of those are true, they're strongly implied). I don't want us to meet the OG timeline characters just for them to "sacrifice themselves" or something for this other timeline. As long as they don't DO THAT, I'm okay with a new story that is more sequel with some time hopping and timeline split than it is remake.

Absolutely! Seeing it all in cinematic , how the characters feel and how they move and fight is giving me butterflies.

ooooo

When do they join?

@@cryptoman6545 Vincent can join when you go to the mansion in Nibelheim, Yuffie can join anytime after Mythril Mine, you get Cait Sith in the Gold Saucer, and Sid joins in Rocket Town. I say “can” for Yuffie and Vincent because they’re optional, though I don’t know if it will remain that way in the remake.

​@@ArtFromHer they cannot be optional anymore they already too iconic

Got to wait for the Remake Rebirth Intergrade DLC for Vincent

@@velaikka I don't think so. Some of those flashes look like the Whirlwind Maze, which means we could get as far as Northern cave pt 1 (when Cloud gives the black materia to Sephiroth), so we could very well pass through Nibelheim

ONLY good reveal at SGF. Show was a boring train wreck as usual, but this at the end was fire.

Let the crazy theories continue!

True, but we haven't heard the rest of the games. I hope there will be a metal gear rising remaster or sequel, just like the director had (probably) hinted. If not, then yes 100% final fantasy 7 rebirth (and ever crisis, for that sephy lore)

​@@vgnvideogameninja2930 luckily I was out grocery shopping. I checked backed my feed for any news for ff7 or metal gear rising. Luckily its one of the 2

​@@vgnvideogameninja2930 that's cap. Sonic looks awesome

I hope they connect it by making Zack and others in alt timeline Knights of the Round.

This year will be FF XV for ayer, or maybe Zelda, or maybe Armored Core but I think Zelda has the most chances to win.

if you were a true fan you'd never accept this action combat bs.

​@doubleclick4132 LOL. "True fan" You mean old, outdated and out of touch.

@@jeffcase7102 right....nothing more "modern" and sophisticated than mashing square 50 times while the engine does all sorts of badass acrobatics that YOU had absolutely nothing to do with

@doubleclick4132 Better than standing there taking turns while they do said acrobatics when all you did was cycle through a menu and press X when it was your turn...

That means the game will be more than 100 GBs. Better make some space on your SSD!

what does the 2 discs mean ? I assume it means that there's so much content in the game that it requires more storage I believe Remake had 2 discs aswell

That’s a lot to download…

I have ssd m.2 2T Much more than enough, I don't understand the absurd complaints

I need a cold shower after that

Final fantasy "remake" was never a remake, it was a sequel! Dirge of cerberus and Advent children are cannon

⁠@@ms.pirate that’s ALTERNATE SEQUEL GET It RIGHT and no drag and and advent are technically not canon in the way we know it anymore considering they happen on the original branch this is another new TIMELINE think ocarina of time adult and child for that example

​@@ms.pirate wow, so you know the future? Or did you help make the game? You must be a psychic, or a game dev, or maybe you're a psychic who works on the dev team Lol. As far as we know, everything is still cannon, consider we've only seen the Midgard section and a few shots from Rebirth. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure Nomura has said it is all still cannon. That could be a red herring, but imma beleive nomura over internet hype.

​@@ms.pirate Remake was a complete remake in every sense of the word. It remade the story. If it was a 1:1 replication of the original, it would have been a remaster.

@@Cman04092 I mean it’s canon the ff7 universe but it is set in a separate dimension or timeline they even show a hint of it with the changing of the dog on the posters when Zach appears

Epic

2 DISCS WORTH!

it might be split into 3 games but its still 4 discs

​@@origialtychOriginal was 3 discs. 4 discs was for VIII and IX.

@@brunovieira4630 really? huh?

Same. I know people say they like the old combat, like the typical classic RPG. But in my opinion, it feels more epic and Action when the combat had changed to something like this. Again, in my opinion

​@@ms.pirate Indeed. Oddly enough, those 'people' are the vocal minority. The vast majority of us appreciate something refreshing, new and creative. That's always been what this franchise was all about as far as I can tell.

@@ms.pirate exactly, I grew up on turn based RPGs majority of my life and I started to like action based RPGs as well(thanks star ocean lol) but this is more of a perfect mix. You still have your action but you can only do so much extra moves due to the ATB bars & having to control each character.

oooo

@@ms.pirate People don't know what they want. If it went back to turned based, it would look so silly at this incredible detail and high fidelity visuals. What do people want, for them to recreate characters and enemies from scratch, make them look so good, and then Tifa just runs up and gives an enemy the EXACT same punch and kick every "Attack" she does..............like the original's combat??? No, that would be so stupid. They haven't a notion what they are talking about. It just wouldn't work without having to sacrifice everything and going back to it looking just similar to the original with a 4K lick of paint, something like those new FFVII Ever Crisis FFVII scenes.

Well we see the scene with buganhagan in Cosmo canyon, and that's after those two areas so I think we will :-)

I think it'll end at the end of Disc 1 in the original. Then the third will be the rest. That makes the mist sense to mem

@@billybatts8283 i think this is until cloud deliver black materia to sephiroth. The final line from sephiroth here looks like from when he's convincing cloud his memory isn't real.

@@yoru8815 great observation!

​@@billybatts8283 the end of disc 1 was in the City of the Ancients. If I recall correctly, the very first thing that happens on disc 2 was the fight with Jenova-Life, which I do believe is the version of Jenova we see in this trailer. Of course, things are obviously different this time around. In the original, the first encounter with Jenova, the Jenova-Birth fight, happened aboard the ship to Junon. We've already had Jenova Dreamweaver though, a previously non-existent form, in the Remake. So there's no telling what they do.

Hopefully it'll be as dope as those history/library machines into Shinra HQ. THOSE were some dope videos and one helluva upgrade over the 9/7/97 edition.

YES SIR

ff7 remake combat system is the best remade into action turn based combat i've ever saw, and this one looks even better with those 2 characters combo attacks, they finally made redxiii playable, imagine playing as him in the cosmo canyon section, omfg, this game is going to be awesome

@@bardockshiny definitely and it's getting a few improvements if you look closely there are *IIIII* shaped bars at the right side of the ATB bar Aerith is getting a new Triangle based action or stance called Ward Shift and Nanaki's Triangle action seems to also be a stance called Vengeance mode I also loved the goofy classical chocobos it suits a Remake XV and XVI chocobos are incredibly fast but these ones seem to be pretty slow maybe that's just that the breeding is back and these are low level ones but it could also be that they're going for the classical goofy chocobos whichever way it goes im loving that too

Yeah I really liked the combat system

oooo

Final fantasy "remake" was never a remake, it was a sequel! Dirge of cerberus and Advent children are cannon

@@ms.pirate anything but Dirge of Cerberus

you said it!

Final fantasy "remake" was never a remake, it was a sequel! Dirge of cerberus and Advent children are cannon

@@ms.pirate it’s not a sequel

@@koreyg8552Aerith and Sephiroth literally remember the original continuity, events that were never supposed to happen occur, certain things happen a lot earlier than they were supposed to, Wedge lived *much* longer than the original, and characters that died are implied to have survived this time around when they did not in the original. The Watchers were keeping it the same, and when they died the game clearly shows us Zach surviving his last stand only to enter an empty church instead of Aerith being there. Tetsuya Nomura also called it the *next* part in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. Remake definitely is not a direct 1:1 faithful remake, and in many ways absolutely is a sequel

@@shiprek900 It is both a remake and a sequel but it is not the kind of sequel that everybody how copies garbage from big youtubers thinks. Square would need to ignore a lot of lore for that.

@@Cetra29 That is true, but then I never said that it could not be both. All I said is that it is a far cry from a 1:1 remake and is in many ways a sequel, which is absolutely true. The game is using timey wimey nonsense to be both a soft remake and a sequel that branches off into its own new direction. Which tbh, there’s nothing wrong with that and I actually quite appreciate it

Ff7 remake was kinda mediocre doe.This comes from someone that never played the original

Wait was it talking about aerith 😖 Ohh and what direction are you talking about

Tifa killed in Nibelheim.. So who is she? Interesting. 🤔 But maybe he just talk about Aerith. And that's why the game called Rebirth (Aerith live)

@@justarandomgirl1617 In the Japanese version he says Tifa.

From us old timers, welcome to the fandom, glad you're here! And if any of the gatekeepy curmudgeonly old timers hassle you, just ignore them. We like to just pretend they don't exisit, then they get bored, and wander off to go harrass some other community, lol.

His cool to see that New people get in FF fan base

FF15 was my first Final Fantasy game, but Part 1 of Remake really got me hooked! This is going to be so epic

Play the original

Final fantasy "remake" was never a remake, it was a sequel! Dirge of cerberus and Advent children are cannon

should have just released the entire game at once. i wouldnt have minded waiting however long it would have taken.

@@jdogzerosilverblade299 quit whining, the best part about waiting is all the thinking and discussions going on about the future releases

@@jdogzerosilverblade299 with your suggestion they get paid only once! With they're way they get paid 3 times! 😏

@@jdogzerosilverblade299 FF7 Remake was announced in 2015, and didn't come out until 2020. If they really waited, then people would have been kept waiting over a decade before anything was even released. At least this way sizeable content comes out

One will probably have the Data to install just like part 1. They used the same marketing gag with 2 discs for part 1 even.

Future Sephiroth is just doing what he did in Remake, messing with Clouds already broken mind again.

Zacks alternate timeline

Shinra fake news deepfakes false flag obviously

​@@depressiontest84Could be, if the whisper explosion was the tornado but that whispernado was surrounding Shinra tower, so why it only damage 3 sectors? We might also return to Midgar and something happens they may not be dead in that scene.

​@blackhale57 that's a good read, I wonder what that'll be like if everything eventually merges.

​@@themadgamer4571 Might be the fight at the end of the highway. It is obviously a coverup from shinra

I'm thinking he's referring to aerith in that moment, like I killed her in the original so who's that there?

@@aggedine7821 Maybe. Yet, curiously he said this while occurs the flashback of young Tifa confronting Sephiroth, alluding that he was talking about her, not Aerith. Adding that maybe Sephiroth meant that he killed the original Tifa during the Nibelheim incident, implying that Tifa is an imposter, as manner to makes that Cloud begin to doubt from her. Even, i heard that in the japanese trailer, its more evident that Sephitoth was talking about Tifa, to said that he killed her in Nibelheim.

@@aggedine7821he’s not. In the Japanese trailer he straight up says Tifa’s name. “I killed Tifa with my own hands.” He’s gaslighting Cloud, exactly like in the original.

Sephiroth does this in the original. In the northern cave, he projects hallucinations of nibelheim burning and impersonates Tifa to retrieve the black materia from Cloud.

@@MrReubenTishkoff Yeah. Though that in the original game, Sephiroth used this hallucinations only to decieves Cloud and tortures him mentally. While in the trailer of Rebirth, look like that Sephiroth will makes this manipulations not only to decieves Cloud, but also to makes that he begin to doubt from his allies, planting a distrust that could end dividing the group, and even destroying the bond between Tifa and Cloud.

Doesn't have to be. Just has to offer more open ended chapters than Remake Part 1 which it already looks like it does. I'm actually playing through FFVII: Remake right now to complete it for the first time on PC. I love the combat system and the presentation and story but it's way too linear at times. That's really my only gripe.

They mentioned it was open world in a QnA

@@poggerd7319 yeah but I don't really believe it. It seems more linear with open segments based on the footage.

​@@paulj6805 so just like the original

@@CNep99 the original FF7 or the original remake? Because the original FF7 was very much an open world game.

I saw Junon also!!
