Wait, THAT'S WHY VIVI IS CALLED THAT?! Some kind of measuring thing?? I tried to see if I could make sense of the measuring, but starting from the bottom we have "IV V" which would be "4 5", then "V V" which would be "5 5", then "VI II" which would be "6 2", then finally "VIVI" which would be "6 6". This can't be imperial though, there's no way his hat stretches up to 6'6. But on the other hand, I guess I could see the top of his head being 4'5. I assume that whatever this is, it's more of an in-world measurement system his grandfather is using.

This can't be imperial thoughYou're talking about a country that doesn't even use imperial units.
You're talking about a country that doesn't even use imperial units.Of course not, but it's not implausible to use it as the measurement for a fictional world.
The easiest and IMO most plausible explanation is that VI VI = 6 6 = 66cm66cm is just barely over two feet tall. That "VIVI" on the wall is with the hat stretched out. That would put Vivi at practically one foot tall.
You're talking about a country that doesn't even use imperial units.Something I never noticed before is Steiner is the only human in the main cast
The easiest and IMO most plausible explanation is that VI VI = 6 6 = 66cm. Without his hat Vivi is between a third and a half of Garnet's and Steiner's heights, which would check out based on human heights. (I'm not consideringZidane, Freya, or Quina here since they're not human, nor Amarant because his posture makes it hard to tell his height, plus I'm not 100% certain he's human either.)
Garnet and Eiko what ever race the summoners are. Eiko has horns. I don't remember if Garnet did at one point and taken off.One horn. And I'm almost positive that the story mentions that when the queen saw the horn on Garnet's head as a baby, she had it removed.
Hopefully the remake isn't bloated with filler, turned into a live action game, and an episodic monstrosity...

It's been hinted that it's going to be turn-based. If I recall Yoshi-P a while back suggested as much.

It's just a normal game. They want to win back fans and have more interest in their stuff now.
But seriously...all this promo stuff gotta be bc of the remake
They're not going to, and it's getting tiring seeing this narrative every time a square enix remake is brought up. Square is constantly remaking games, none of them are like ff7 except ff7. The ff7 remake series isn't actually a remake it's its own thing.Lmao mark my words they're going to go balls to the wall with Zidane referencing seeing a spiky haired swordsman and this will connect with FFVII:R while they put more hints that FF has an alternative extended universe that connects all the games
Good to know. Thanks!
Lmao mark my words they're going to go balls to the wall with Zidane referencing seeing a spiky haired swordsman and this will connect with FFVII:R while they put more hints that FF has an alternative extended universe that connects all the gamesI guarantee you this is just a straight forward 1-1 remake and what you would expect of any other remake for a big game from that era. Major graphics upgrade. Modernized gameplay (for example the original game would be considered very slow/boring now and could use some tweaks). QOL improvement. Minor side stuff added to flesh out the game.
enclave because Yoshi p has never once mentioned final fantasy 9 in any capacity
Yoshida is not working on any kind of Final Fantasy IX remake. Its a wonderful title, and many of us are fans of the original Final Fantasy IX. But its a pretty heavy game; I think it has more volume than Final Fantasy VII, so its scale is very different. I think we would have to be very careful and very aware if we were to handle Final Fantasy IX, commented the translator on behalf of Yoshi-P.Naoki Yoshida then joked that people speculated he would turn the new version into an action game, as happened with the controversial Final Fantasy XVI; however, he emphasized that if he were responsible for the remake, he would keep the turn-based combat.
Trance should be triggered by a menuNo, it shouldn't. That defeats the purpose of trance.
I guarantee you this is just a straight forward 1-1 remakeThere's a shop in Lindblum (?) where Zidane says he knows a spiky haired swordsman who would like a sword. I think he's referring to that.

There is a zero percent chance it has anything to do with the original. 7 was far more in line with the shitty anime Squeenix and they still botched the tone every step of the way.
The people there right now do not know Final Fantasy, so yeah, no, I really dont want to see what they do with Zidane.
The bad anime stuff was all the new sidequests and side characters, and yeah, I agree, they are all pretty bad and out of place.With "bad anime stuff" new sidequests and characters (which im assuming is characters like chadley, kyrie, leslie, jules, madame m, chocobo sam etc.), I legit cannot understand what makes these characters so disliked/brushed off as too anime for my serious jrpg or whatever and out of place compared to the "anime stuff" that was in the original final fantasy 7 from the very beginning. (Johnny, priscilla and Mr. dolphin, don corneo, miyuki, reno and rude, dio, palmer and truck etc.)

This is seriously one of those things where I think some people's nostalgia for the original FF7 is so strong that they forget just how goofy n' anime the original game and some of it's characters was.
Hey, I love the goofy stuff in 7, and I like most of the changes in Remake. I dont like these characters because they arent interesting (save maybe Rosche and Leslie)), they are often part of the boring sidequests (Kyrie) or in the wrong game entirely (Chocobo Sam). I wouldnt dislike them as much if the effort was put in to make them the same kind of weird as Johnny and dolphin girl. But they currently feel like Nomura put rejected KH characters into them game instead, because they have that KH-esque habit of speaking around the point, being overly emotional, and being exposition dumps.All I'm saying is that had we had the technology for the weird anime grunt and motions with fully voice-acted cutscenes for FF7 back with its original release the game would be jam-packed full of them. The characters and silly situations was definitely already there, lol. The weird npcs, the moogles silly times, like chadley can't even be blamed for being
Lmao FF8 fans are gonna be pissedNah.
This isn't getting announced any time soon. Seriously, please don't waste your time waiting for something that's not going to happen.I inject copium directly from my butt you cannot stop me

I just hope they don't learn the wrong lesson from FF7R and assume the only acceptable way to do a remake is to make exactly the same damn game we played a quarter of a century ago with a few graphical improvements nobody notices or cares about after the first ten minutes.Typically video game remakes even big budget ones are large update to graphics, tweak/modernize script/localization/story telling to enhance it, update gameplay, add QOL, add minor things to flesh out the game. That's more or less what every video game remake is, some variation of that. FF7 remake keeps being pointed to as an example what to do or what not to do. That game is an outlier and I think that's a complete waste of time thinking any game will mimic that or take some sort of lesson from it.

FFVII Remake/Rebirth isn't even a remake, not sure why people use it as an example, it's literally a sequel. I get that we all thought it was going to be a remake before it released but after release it's painfully obvious that it's a sequel.I agree with you, that's not a remake, not in any usual/accepted use of that term. I hate that it keeps being pointed to every time people talk about making other ff remakes, other square enix remakes as if that is some sort of inevitability and it can't be like literally every other remake outside of ff7. FF7 is an outlier and I don't think they're going to attempt another project like that, I think they grossly overestimated how many people would be engaged and excited for this project over the course of 10-15 years.

That's more or less what every video game remake is, some variation of that.Not anymore. Lately, they're functionally no different from remasters, just more expensive since they actually remade the engine and shit instead of just upscaling the textures.

What I'm saying is I hope they don't go overboard the other way.
