I really hope that they keep the game as it was. Like not changing the battle system. That would really suck.

Imo turn-based RPG's are kinda outdated (and "classic" J-RPG are niche nowadays). You might as well turn your system into a full tactical RPG if you want to go turn-based, it produces way more interesting games.

Tetsuya Nomura spoke with Famitsu to give more details about the upcoming game. If fans believe that they will see a "Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children" being translated to a game, the answer is wrong. In fact, the graphics and design of the characters will be so much better than the FF7 film.

"AC was made with technology from 10 years ago, and visually with how it was stylised and such it wouldn't fit in with the images for this game, so we're not using them," Nomura said. "We're at the level now where we can get the realism seen in the NPCs walking around town in the trailer without trouble, so that's why."

Also, fans should no longer expect a turn-based battle system as Nomura confirmed that the game's battle mechanics will be larger and more interactive.

"It has changed. I still can't give you any details, but the system feels more immersive," he said.

Oh what the fuck, why are they changing the battle mechanics. Im so disappointed.

It better not be some spam X QTE-filled bullshit like final fantasys recent iterations.

Square Enix's upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake will feature "dramatic changes" to the game's combat system, director Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed.

While fans of the original's Active Time Battle system will likely be disappointed by this news, they can rest assured the sweeping changes won't render the remake completely unrecognizable.

"We’re not going to be changing it into a shooter or something like that," Nomura told Official PlayStation Magazine (via GamesRadar). "We are going to be bringing dramatic changes, but we want to make sure it’s still recognizable."

Nomura also mentioned the FFVII companion movie he directed back in 2005, noting that Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children will serve as a source of inspiration when designing the game's visuals. That said, they "don’t intend on utilizing the 3D models of Advent Children as is because, well, it’s a different technology, and it’s actually been almost ten years since Advent Children was first released."

Abusing OP items / strategies has nothing to do with gameplay mechanics. I wont get into an argument as to why i think the older gameplay is fundamentally more interesting than recent titles.

You mean like the spam Cait Sith of the original FF7?
Or spamming limits like FF8?
Or spamming Joker doom in FF6?
Or trio of 9999 and gems in FFX?
Or Cat nip trigger happy in X-2?

A lot of the earlier FFs are even simpler than that with only one real strat and if you don't use them you are just intentionally gimping yourself. For all the shit that FF13 gets it actually does have a combat system which isn't spam A to win and have a lot of depth under the surface. The issue with most FF games is if they use the traditional combat system then there will always be a go to strat which is strictly better in all circumstances.

Hahaha, while I liked the Battle System in FF13, when I got bored I just pressed the computer do the moves button. And while there is no OP button, there is still the overleveling thing. Which you had to do in almost every FF game to get to the OP stuff. I like it more tactical then action oriented, so I would prefer a 7 system over 13.
But I always liked that they changed the systems for each game. And I have yet to see a rpg which doesn't have a go to strategy. The good thing is people that play rpgs usually don't care.

To be fair the fact that you can overlevel in a JRPG is kind of an issue in itself. At least 13 limits you in how far you can be over leveled (No max sphere grid in besaid etc etc). But to my knowledge not a single FF requires grinding or levels to reach the OP stuff (If they did they wouldn't really be worth using / be OP).

How is over leveling actually a problem? If some whacko wants to grind to max level in the first area of the game I think they should be allowed to do so. It's a single player game so having as many ways to play the game as possible is only a positive thing really. Some guy spending countless hours over leveling has no effect on how I enjoy the game. If that's how they want to play... Go for it.

If you don't like op shit don't use it. Play the game to have fun and not to beat it the most efficient way possible with the most op way possible unless you like that sort of thing. Hell I never ever used Cait Sith in FF7 because I hated him and would have joyfully murdered him after his little story line ended if I had been given that choice. I didn't use mime Knights of the round nonsense because that was boring as hell.

I go out of my way not to play games that make me bored . I actually found ff13s combat system pretty boring. Just didn't do it for me. A matter of taste.

Yeah, we talk about all that OP stuff but it's not like you'll discover it in your first playthrough I think.
Well when I got FF9 on my PSX I leveled a lot and then I got stuck in the big invisible city, getting ganked by lvl99 greater marlboros everywhere I set foot xD Bought it day 1 but never finished it before I played it on PC on emulator :D

My favorite system is still FF10, sphere grid that you can customize end game, with bosses to match the power curve (that drop those grid customizing items)
I also loved the FF9 system, but there was no content to match your power sadly.

I hope they'll add a lot of superbosses at least in the FF7 remake, and change the leveling system to keep it fresh and new.
