Final Fantasy VII: Remake (Discussion and Speculation)

I like that multiple battle theme version idea. It'll definitely help keep the pace going, and prevents the battle theme from going old real quick.

Though I'm sure many fans will be against this, I'd actually like for an action RPG style, much like KH (perhaps the option to select who you'd like to play as, or switch on the fly). If that doesn't happen though, and the standard 3 character party system is retained, then incorporating the ability to switch in/out characters in the party during battle (FFX's idea) would be a good idea. Maybe adding dual/team/party attacks/Limit-Breaks (kinda like the Chrono series tech attacks). Also, I'd like to see a mode/option where Cloud can dual wield for combat.

As for the mini games. I'd love for a much more indepth action element with the motocycle chase sequence. Especially aftering seeing AC, I'm sure they could definitely improve this little game. Maybe even a little motorcycle race game as well? Of course, the return of the snowboarding game is a must.

Oh and for a bonus weapon, perhaps toss in Cloud's AC weapon as a bonus. Maybe make it into a quest where the player has to find items/material to forge it (and each sword), or perhaps a quest to find each sword seperately.

Other bonuses, maybe they could do alternate costumes. Adding replay value? Like AC outfits, KH outifts, and perhaps turk Vincent.

Obviously VA is a necessity for the remake, hopefully bringing back the same cast from AC for continuity (maybe replace Mena, seeing as I've heard nothing but bad things). And maybe giving us the option for the Japanese dub track as well. If a Japanese dub track is a no go, then I demand a reanimation of mouth movements to fit the english dub (common, stop being lazy SE).

Cut scenes... maybe adding action sequences that are. Perhaps a climatic FMV duel/sequence when Cloud confronts Sephiroth, ending it with switching to the battle screen and Cloud finishing him with Omnislash.

I'm expecting the graphics to be as good as AC's. Quality stuff is demanded for this remake.

As you can see, AC is influencing much of what I'd like to see in the remake. Ahh, that's all I can think of for now.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
