It would appear. So. Either that or they literally started work on this CGI trailer as soon as they got the negative feedback. Hashimoto would have had to make the call from abck stage after walking off.
Some analysts in Japan are speculating that SE in financially healthy shape is really encouraging them to take some risks. Maybe mobile game boom isn't a bad thing after all?
Will have to scrub the time (around 9 hours I think). Perfect reactions to the trinity. Super special too if you like the GT bunch and Huber and Bosman.
Also worth watching when they go up will be the Super Best Friends watch. Might be a while for that though as the MS one only went up an hour or so ago.

Hey Kagari, you say that you knew about the remake for a year now, but did you know it was going to be announced today? And is there any other info about it that you can share?
OMG your avatar.... if they give her Tressfx I will faint. I won't even play the game, I'll just spend the whole time walking around and admiring her character model. Best update for a FF character design ever.
Holy shit, I never thought I'd see the day. It's not my favorite FF game, but it's still a damn fine title and I'm excited to see what they can do. And it's always a delight to see the reactions from a much anticipated title like this. I mean, fuck, it's been like what, 10 years since that tech demo started the rumors? That's insane. This is a really risky endeavor, but I just hope it lives up to the original.
Part of me hopes they keep the turn-based system, but another part of me expects them to go real-time. This looks like an expensive project and I really don't know if Square is willing to take the risk in this day and age. Let's wait and see.
Oh wait, Nomura is directing!? Holy shit, 9 years in limbo incoming! CHOO CHOO!
Just kidding. Hopefully Square won't drown all their employees on sequels and an MMO again in the meantime lol.
The way things came across to a lot of people(including myself) is that Nomura wasn't really able to compromise to make his vision fit the practical constraints of the project.
If that's accurate, wouldn't it have made more sense to have Tabata handle the FF7 remake? If Nomura is really in control of this then that means that they think he can handle high budget stuff. I know you can't tell us explicitly why he was removed from FFXV, but was it because he mishandled it or more something out of his control?
With the continued rumours flying around, I was hopeful it would be the real deal this time around. I'm can't wait to revisit this, whether it's a total re-imagining or a straight remake! Best E3 I've watched by far.
I honestly thought the announcement was a self-aware joke at first...like "haha we always tease and don't give it to you so here's just another one of those times" But it seems legit.
That being said the only real bummer is that it'll come out in 5 years. I mean I first heard about final fantasy XV when I was about to enter medical school, now i'm a doctor and I'm still waiting for that shit to drop.
Nothing really adds up. People said Nomura left Final Fantasy XV because he got nothing done and all of a sudden he is directing the most anticipated, prestigious remake of the most popular Final Fantasy VII?

All in all we're not in a bad position here... Square is kept afloat by multiple things that are not classic Square focus, but at the same time games like FF are their legacy and they have a mandate to make them.
Hopefully they keep the materia system and turn based action.
Also, hopefully they get cloud's personality right. Not advent children sad cloud but ff7 badass cloud.

Yeah, gonna need an over/under on whether they'll mess with the battle system or not. I got no problem with new additions to combat like the FF4 remake or some minor balance tweaking, but make it an ARPG and I'll be crushed.
Don't really care much about whether they keep random encounters or not.
