      Editing … I was surprised we got gameplay footage so early. To me it looks better than I thought. I may get flack for saying this but I'm a bit glad they dropped the ATB system since I couldn't get into it in the original release.

      Editing … I have extremely mixed feelings on it right now. On the one hand, I know I'll be pre-ordering it, just because I'm a sucker who can't pass up the chance to see that world with updated graphics (and holy crap are the visuals ever looking good!), but the voice actings sounds kinda weak so far and I really did not like the XV demo, so the combat has me incredibly nervous. I'm hoping for the best, but prepared for the worst, basically. One thing it just confirmed, though: No chance in hell I like it as much as the original.

      Editing … If they make a good action system I'm fine with it, but XV looked a bit boring and spammy. It's sad that they have lost confidence with turn-based games but it's their IP, hopefully they release the port of the original on PS4.

      Editing … Whoa, wasn't expecting any gameplay. Looks good to me, not upset about axing the turn-based system. Never had a problem with it, but I won't exactly miss it either, I'm cool either way. I hope those voices are just placeholders though, most of them sounded awful. I know Square's got better voice actors than that.

      Editing … The combat looks like Crisis Core which I liked. I like that they didn't try to make Barrett look like a real person and the voice acting for Cloud and Barrett sounds right to me. The tubby guy (can't remember if Biggs or Wedge) looks and sounds freaky as fuck.

      Editing … Oh my god, I just made a mess in my pants watching that. At the end of the day though it will all come down to the battle system, is it still gonna keep us die hards happy? Pretty visuals mean nothing, FFVII is STILL the best game ever made even with PS1 graphics because it really is the best game ever made. I so hope they don't ruin it.

      Editing … That's the problem with going 3rd-person action. That genre has had some excellent games with DMC, Bayonetta, Ninja Gaiden, God of War, Revengeance etc. combining style with extremely tight controls. SQUARE doesn't have any pedigree in the genre, so it might turn out to be a watered down action game like Kingdom Hearts and Crisis Core (which weren't bad games! Just weak compared to games that specialize in that type of gameplay).

      Editing … @nodley FFVII is still ONE OF the best games ever made LARGELY BECAUSE of ps1 graphics. Fixed that for you. Joking aside, FFVII was probably the best looking game made in 1997 and being someone who doesn't fully understand the concept of things aging poorly I still really like the look of the game and feel like no other game ever has or probably ever will look like it.

It's Final Fantasy VII, not Skyrim, or worse yet, the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy, and if they're splitting into multiple games, I bet they had an eye on that trilogy when making that decision.
