I can't believe it. I mean, I'm literally in shock. I thought all the time ghost bullshit was just shitposting in bad faith like Yas Forums always does. Does anyone know for a fact what those fucking things are? Are they actually changing the entire story line or some shit?
Holy fuck if I hadn't already lost all interest in this game 5 years ago, this would have been it
>Guys I'm LITERALLY SHAKING right now
they're a free excuse for nomura to change he story line as he pleases.
Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeee GHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSTS
They basically stop any actions that alter the main story. Things that didn't originally happen can happen so long as they interfere with the end result. That's why important revelations get cut off while enormous battles in the sky against aliens are A-OK.
Are they supposed to be the Sephiroth worshipper black bags from Nibelheim or some shit?
You too? I've been crying nonstop for days now.
>Does anyone know for a fact what those fucking things are?
They're supposed to be the spirits of the cloaked men from the original game attacking you as an extension of Sephiroth's illusions powers. The time travel part is trolling.
>Weapons are giant mechs
>Chrono trigger Weapons are shitty ghosts instead of drones or gundams
After being defeated in AC, Sephiroth manages to go back in time, in this timeline Sephiroth mere presence causes the characters actions and event to slowly deviate from their original path, but the Watchers of Fate try to maintain the original timeline by stopping them, in the final moments of the game Sephiroth opens a portal and fights the party, the fight ends with the party fighting the Watchers of Fate themselves, with the watchers defeated this means the party is in a new timeline no longer chained by their past fate, Sephiroth plans are never explained but he wants to marry Cloud
The game is a sequel and FF7 as you know it has already occured. Someone or something has gone into the past and altered the timelines and things are playing out differently. The Time Ghosts want to protect the time line (they're actually good guys) and set things right. Sephiroth seems to have knowledge of future events and the game ends wtih a fight with him in something called End of Creation. If this is a plot by Seph or if he is fighting it is unknown.
The time ghosts seem to be defeated at the end and this means that part 2 can go completely off the rails.
>After being defeated in AC, Sephiroth manages to go back in time, in this timeline Sephiroth mere presence causes the characters actions and event to slowly deviate from their original path,
That's all speculation we don't know that for now or if it ties into AC. We don't even know if Seph is causing this but he does seem to know about it and has access to the End of Creation.
So it's a sequel set in the same timeframe? Not really a sequel then
Someone needs to make a "Time Ghosts" in the style of the COPS theme.
The perspective of the characters starts the same as the original FF7. But there's time travel business that's already taken place unknown to them and the player.
well thank Odin Cloud's not fucking gay, at least
Oh I'm sorry did Kingdom Sharts 3 give you any indication of what was going to happen? Do you really think Nomura is a good writer? It's canon fanfiction. He wrote actual time-traveling retcon characters and nobody stopped him
Honestly it would be kino if Sephiroth joined the party and became a good guy and ended up marrying Cloud in the end of the game
God, this sounds fucking stupid. So then, there's a chance that the entire storyline wraps up in just Midgar and that they won't need to release sequels to this embarrassment?
>Time ghosts casually revive Barret from the fucking grave
>DUHHHH THEY'RE BAD GUYS WE NEED TO KILL THEM!!!!
I fucking despise when the plot is driven by characters being retarded
Reno is the key to all this.
>When you are to derail a e-celeb thread but janny bans you
Since this is a wish fulfillment fanfiction tier writing i predict no one will die.
Aeris won't, Zack definitely won't. Even Sephiroth will get talk no jutsu'd by Cloud and walk away in peace.
So Aeris won't be run over but Tifa? idk
It being a sequel and not an actual remake makes me dislike it less
Oh we're just getting started with Nomura's wild ride! Part 2 can go totally off the walls.
>inb4 it's kingdom hearts 3 all over again where everyone lives except Cloud.
the time jannies are everywhere and always there ready to fight the good fight.
Why do Final Fantasy Fags still care? The FF7 remake was their last resort and its a fucking FAN FICTION
Whats left to care about with this IP?
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU CANT CHANGE ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH
This is actually retarded. What a fucking hack
You need some fucking drama and tragedy. All three of your Avalanche bros dying in the tower signals that this is real for once.
I'm so sad. I feel betrayed, lied to, deceived and spit upon. I a still buying it to support SE because their earlier games taught me so much about life and friendship.I hope the future remakes are true to the story
But user its still tragic! Didnt you see Jessies stupid fucking monty python tier death? She held a grenade slightly too long haha! She was doing something cool and heroic and it made her look like a retard haha!!!
except that they changed everything....
Cry more, loser. Your salty tears taste delicious
Game of the decade
-t. New Zealander
And she died because of time ghosts and shinra is blameless. If anything this utterly ruins the rather perfect pacing fo the original.
the old games and fond memories are all we have left
>out of all 3 avalanche mooks Jessie was the only one to die
Lmao
Every fucking time
Sephiroth being from the original timeline technically makes it a sequel, as the deviations in this game are precipitated by the events of the original games and AC.
Its really just a Abram's style reboot of Star Trek. Reboot thats technically a sequel, in an attempt to not invalidate the originals.
It also gives you some sense that Shinra is actually strong and is a threat! Shinra doesn't become comedy tier until Costa del Sol. So The Turks and Reno are a Big Deal early on and Reno can easily take on three of the cast members with ease. Now Time Ghosts need to save Reno from Islamic State Cloud because he's such a weak bitch.
Yeah, Turks become more of a lesser threat later on but at least keep the threat early on and don't back port their goofball loser nature!
damn, kingdom hearts 4 looks like THIS?
>seething spirits represent the very people complaining about them
>they still don't get it
unironically the greatest narrative ever seen in FF. i will buy this game for possessing the testicular fortitude to spit in the face of the 7fags who forced the game to be made. thanks for providing the rest of us with an FF7 story that finally doesn't suck.
Well that's just fucking stupid. What the fuck is wrong with Nomura
>decide to check the FF series to see whats worth getting into
>the last time a real proper FF game came out was like fucking FF10
>the last like 15 years of FF has been nothing but cashgrab spinoffs, garbage "experimental" mainline games like 15 and the Lightning circlewank trilogy
>now the big emergancy FF7 REMAKE button is a literal fan fiction
Why the hell does this series still have fans?
>What the fuck is wrong with Nomura
I have no idea. I think he thinks he can write a better story or something or "correct" the mistakes.
Nomura is fucking based though, no one but redditors that want the prettiest graphics wanted a remake of FF7, the game was fine as it was, i hope Nomura writes some bullshit story about video games remakes are never good and we should let go of the past to try new things and games, maybe you redditors finally learn your place, fuck soulless cash grab remakes.
I legitimately didn't want a remake. But saying you're going to release a remake only to have it actually be some crappy Nomura fanfiction is grade A bullshit. I hope Square suffers for this, but I know it won't.
if it was literally just FF7 with a new coat of paint, and possibly a new party member or a few, a dungeon or a few with some boss fights and otherwise just a brushed-up and bugfixed modern facelift without mucking up everything then it would have been a smashing hit
But probably there's enough consoomers to eat it up for enough profit to stick to their guns
At least the gameplay was good.
>no one but redditors that want the prettiest graphics wanted a remake of FF7, the game was fine as it was
This. Stop being obsessed with graphics
Nah, it's ugly and has garbage gameplay. And I loved it as a kid.
Outside of the faggotry I think this may actually happen. Lord know Nomura would love to have a REDEEMED Sephiroth.
I'm getting a big feeling that no one's going to die. Zack actually survived and somehow separated from Cloud. Aerith is going to live. Seph might be redeemed. Nomura is a total hack and can't have any fucking tragedy.
Do you retards honestly think Sephiroth will get his way and change the events of FF7 permanently? Cloud and the gang will set things right and will have to accept that all the important beats need to still be hit and we’ll come out of the game with nothing major changed
They are teasing that Aerith is gonna live.
>But not Jessie
trash
>inbefore they remove the cloaks and they're dead FF7 characters and a few copies of Sephiroth
If you fucks wanted FFVII, play FFVII, it still holds up. I don't get why everyone's so disappointed with the remake, the characters are pretty on point and the gameplay is peak ATB perfection.
I'm more than fine with a re-imagining, but this goes beyond "change bad". It's retarded on its own merits.
This is why you don't pre-order anything.
huh, now that you mention it there's really only been like two (maybe 3) good Final Fantasy games out of 15 mainline titles and countless spinoffs
thats creepy as hell, imagine one remove the cloak and Cloud sees a dead rotting Aerith face.
