Even if we unfortunately could not attend Final Fantasy VII Remake preview following a particularly unfortunate event, big thank-you to Square Enix as they sent us new sequences of gameplay in 4K. Enjoy!

anyways. it's a newer experience for sure. no original OST, sound effects, transitions, random battles, traditional victory poses, magic spells posses. quite a few things have been gutted in this from the original. i'm guessing classic gamers will have to play this remake with an open mind.
With that, seeing this gameplay is actually quite depressing. I would much rather have the turn based style than this ADD stuff. That was the only string of interest keeping my curiosity at its peak, seeing as it was established that they're not making this for people of my generation who originally played it, but instead for the newer ones, which is fine. But, I'm sorry that I'll be left out. Frankly, I'm a bit angry, too, that it's taken them this long to do this. Outside of the graphics, I don't believe anyone who originally played it at release would call this an upgrade or remake of the original. The materia system, the fighting, the 3D open world, and the well over a 100hours you could put into one PS save yet still not approach the hidden gems is was what made that game. Not strategy guides or the internet, which is why I'm positive they've waited too long. It's a shame.
it's almost practically a different game. apart from the characters and core story remaining.
Doesn't mean its bad. doesn't mean others can't enjoy it. just that maybe badgering a devs that is into current open-world action adventure to remakes old pre-rendered rpgs maybe wasn't that a great idea after all, just in our heads.
