AC combat would be much more like FFXV. XIII's was fast, but not really much different from the traditional bashing back and forth that FF has had since the first title.

I want Chrono Trigger style visible enemies, launching into traditional ATB combat. Or I'd also accept FFX's system, I loved how you could delay enemy attacks and see what order things were going to happen in.
Cloud's characterization is something I'm sure a lot of us are concerned with.
Of course his disposition should be somewhat taciturn but he was also a sarcastic smart ass and a bit of a dork at times.
Yeah. I'd really rather not have to deal with random screen breaks.

Skipping summons or shortening their time would be amazing. It seriously feels like yesterday was a dream. I'm glad NY wife didn't get to witness my shameful reactions to three games last night.

Probably Xbox One and PC. I think that PS4 first is a good way for them not to have to split their development resources amongst multiple platforms.

That website only says Playstation so far.
I'm surprised that so many people didn't get the tongue-in-cheek nature of the narration.
It was talking about fan reaction to the original FFVII release, how the characters we met there were never forgotten and we waited so long for them to return. Now after so long, "the long calm", this announcement has happened. Now that there's going to be a "reunion" with these characters, some people will be happy and others will be worried but we should all just embrace whatever the remake brings. Because they're coming back, and they're finally promising that an FFVII remake is coming out.
It's great.
My bad feeling was wrong! At least, I think? No gameplay yet but I guess since this announcement was blatantly a reaction to last years disaster it won't be far along in development yet. I guess we'll be waiting a very long time for this.
It's a shame that rumours of this, Shenmue 3 and TLG being at the conference leaked early...was still a crazy conference but the surprise was dampened a bit. Still surreal to see those 3 games in one show though.

Probably closer to XV than XIII but this is Nomura.
I have to imagine they're going to make the combat faster to some degree.

In the end, I'm just glad it is finally being made. Hopefully it turns out well. (Crosses Fingers)

as I posted above; FF type-0 did not sell at all on bone and was a big waste of resources. So unless FF15 magically takes off there wont be anymore bone FF after that.

It is years away, don't worry about platforms for now.
The substantial divide in this thread on whether or not people agree with this statement proves to me that the fanbase is split pretty thoroughly on the matter.

I'm surprised people are saying that it won't come to Xbone. If that was the case, wouldn't they have called it a "console exclusive" or something to make the point clear?

I could see that some of these titles won't have Xbox version for some regions (mainly in Japan and Asia).

Ehm no thank you. The game need to be a remake, that is fully remade starting from scratch. Gameplay changed and more real time; no random encounters; open world, dynamic weather and day/night cycle; scenario rewritten and updated to match with the prequels and sequels published after the original ect.
If they want it to be a big hit, it must be a game the new generation of RPG players can appareciate.
What is sales breakdown for all platforms? (Do we know digital as well?) Also, what were Squares expectations from type 0

Will it have a AAA budget behind it? Is has to right? Its ff7.
Because I simply don't see why anyone would object to the option to skip animations or speed up combat. That seems incredibly silly.
Hear, hear. Completely agree with you here, purism is an idiotic mindset. The original game already exist, so we don't need a 1:1 version of it. There's a great, healthy grey area they can traverse between "HD version" and "shitty Marvel retcon / Kingdom Hearts mythology". As long as they keep the original characterization and spirit of the game, which mixed goofy silly, downright punk moments (Crossdressing Cloud comes to mind) with philosophical pondering (Cosmo Canyon comes to mind) and nifty narrative tricks (playable flashbacks!) I will be more than enough pleased.
The original ff7 ending was one of the most unsatisfactory endings in videogame history. Anticlimatic as fuck and no single plot closed, not a single climax nor character payoff, the only thing missing was a "thank you for playing" message. It was A Dance with the Dragons level of narrative blueballs syndrome, so I really hope that they can give us at least one alternative option.

Never played the original. Guess Ill try it and see how it is. But if it isnt as good as the hype, then I blame the internet 
I selfishly wish there were a way for this not to happen, because as perennially smitten with VII as I am, none of Compilation's entries have ever impressed me.
But I'll get over it of course. Gladly.

They basically used the same wording when street fighter 5 was revealed, people assumed it would come to xbone eventually, and then just recently they clarified that it wouldn't. So that's probably why.
Might just be a collaboration.
I mean this isn't the worst idea and worked out with Mistwalker and the studios that were involved in Lost Odyssey for example.
That might imply that all they're doing is just updating the graphics.
My question is how much energy is being put into it. It could give an indication of how extensive the changes will be.
Yikes, I dunno. I thoroughly enjoy that ending.
I guess it helps tremendously that
I've always just happily assumed the answer is that, yes, of course humanity survived.

No,

All that is bad will disappear. That is all.
Ho Ho Hooo.
I wonder which we humans are?"

Can't wait for the meltdown posts of "Pre-order cancelled, childhood raped, no 4k no buy, only 8/10???" when it turn out to be 1080p/30fps or when it comes in with below 9/10 scores.
Gameplay changed? No random encounters? Open World? Scenario rewritten?
I am out. Might as well make a new FF then, what is the point?
Did some of you guys even like the old FF7? If not - then ... I don't think this is for you either?
See, this is gaming for you. We get a glimpse of this thing we've wanted since 2005 and you've already gone negative.

If they could make Sephiroth a party member....that would make this game the most amazing game of all time. I'd even take one of his reject clones that has seen the light.
Lol. Good point.
So basically you don't want Final Fantasy 7.
The stock rise is hilarious.
I guess I'll finally play FF7 and see what all the fuss is about. Never had a PS1 to begin with, so I can't really play those games comfortably since I never got used to the graphics as a kid (they suck balls now). The only PS1 game I want to play is MGS1, I'll probably do it after finishing The Phantom Pain.

I don't understand why they are remaking the worst game in the series, while Final Fantasy 6 continues to be ignored.
Seriously though, they better leave the battle system alone. It was one of the few things FF7 got right. The trailer looks a bit too grimdark and gritty for my tastes, hope that's not indicative of the final game. Summons need to be shortened or skip-able. And get rid of or improve those awful mini games.
Kidding, we all know 12 is the worst.

You are crazy for wanting that. No thank you.
But you're right that's exactly what's going to happen. No way around it. It's the only thing that makes sense for them. Minus the open world part, they won't do that.
