<![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro - Kotaku Comments]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro - Kotaku Comments]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> man thats one hell of a bullet-protect barrier magic zacks got going on there.

and for whoever it was on this post that questioned the whole "when zach left the surface of the train he should've lost speed", you not getting the whole picture. zach is already going the same speed as the train, and any forward momentum he uses (like using his mako-altered leg muscles to jump to the head of the train) only adds to his overall momentum (train speed + jump speed = overall speed). the only reason he could've lost ANY speed from jumping on the train was if he had jumped straight up and wind resistance pushed him back a little.

its like shooting a gun on top of a train. if you shoot in the direction the train is traveling, the bullet's speed is added to the trains speed, giving it greater force. HOWEVER, shooting a bullet in the opposite direction a train is traveling will actually take AWAY from the bullet's speed (bullet's speed - train's speed = bullet's overall speed). with this it could be argued, based on the type of weapons the soldiers were using and the train of the speed, that the overall force of the soldiers' bullets were diminished since they were shooting towards the tail end of a moving train, giving zach that much more advantage.

now i can't say i'm too sure about all the details of physics, but i do remember this much. and i'm not trying to start an argument or anything. really the only reason i wrote this unnecessary post is because i'm procrastinating from working on my college paper. after that all i have to say is that.....it's a damn video game. why the HELL are we trying to figure out any physics in a world where magic is a mainstay and anyone who wants to destroy the world can just ask their mommie for a meteor for christmas?

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> I had semi-high expectations for this game until I learned Gackt was an actual character in it. The person who decided Gackt should be part of the FF VII continuity should have their sanity reevaluated. They should have realized that this game was going to be played outside of Japan, and not everyone likes their Metro Sexual JRock idols as much as the Japanese do ='(

Other than that I may play this game....maybe.

siamgx

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> Ugh. Plz milk FF7 more, it's nipples aren't dead yet. All they needed to do was release a re-make, and all would be well. I bought Dirge of Cerberus in the discount bin a few weeks ago and was disappointed I had paid even less than 20 dollars on the thing. Lame.

Advent Children was okay. The thing I loved about FF7 was the story, which AC severely lacked. What I wouldn't give to see maybe a remake of FF6 or FF9, or an actual sequel to the original Tactics (not just a port). At this point, Squenix is somewhat ruining FF7 by putting out shoddy spin offs.

Amnesiac85

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> I, like most FF die hards, would like an FF7 remake, but since I haven't played any of the classic FFs besides FFII, I would like total 3d remakes of the FF's before 7.

I know everyone has played the 2d versions at least twice this century, but I think FF7 already had its shot, and a remake can wait.

I really, really want to play this prequel, to the point I would buy a PSP (maybe). It better not turn out to be a Dirge of Cerebrus, though. That thing was weak.

If they've ported GTAs from PSP, I hope they port this prequel to PS2 or even 3.

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @sweetie55: That I can see, Chrono Trigger was never released in any PAL regions so a lot of gamers did actually miss out on that, I understand why games like that are remade; Rondo of Blood for PSP, Final Fantasy III for DS, great games in their original forms but limited by region, they were crying out for remakes a lot more than a game that was available everywhere. Everyone who ever owned a PS1, PS2, PS3 or a PC could potentially play FF7, waste of time and money to remake it.

JudgeNutmeg

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @Kuraudo:

So you are guaranteeing that a FF7 remake will be made on the PS3?

Being honest I don't get your logic, because it hasn't been remade already that guarantees it will be remade?! Shaq Fu hasn't been remade for PSP so does that mean I can expect a PS3 version soon?

I thought all the dragon quest games were remade because they were never released outside of Japan and they wanted to bring it to the rest of the world, like FF3 for the DS for example. FF7 was available everywhere and played by everyone, I still have my original copy here.

Malefic

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @Malefic: My point is though that if they weren't going to remake it for a next gen system they'd already have remade or ported it to one of the handheld consoles. There's a lot more demand for it on anything than for the Star Ocean games to be rereleased.

I imagine the cost could be alleviated too if they used the same engine to work on a sequel (the Compilation's story is far from finished so this is pretty much guaranteed), kind of like how FFX-2 reuses the same world only changed slightly.

Kuraudo

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> Man, the ending brought a tear to my eye.
Dammit, Sqeenix! Remake FFVII already!

Infradead

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @Kuraudo:

I wouldn't say it was obvious, Sony NEED a system mover, a FF VII remake would probably be it, but the time and expensive it would take to do it would be too much so unless Sony basically paid them to do it I can't see it happening, there's a huge difference between the cost of making a DS game and a PS3 game.

It's a classic game so leave it at that.

Basically;

PS3 expensive to work with
Would take a long time
Would divert too many resources from other projects

In my mind it ain't going to happen on a PS3, the relationship between Sony and square isn't as strong as it used to be either, perhaps if it was developed for PS3 and Xbox360 at the same time perhaps, although I think that would be too much for some people to take.

Malefic

@DigitalHero: That was great. Now I'm having to resist the urge for another playthrough...

@Malefic: People don't want a remake because the original looks bad, but because the tech demo SE showed off a few years back looked so good.

It's obvious a remake is coming anyway. SE are remaking three Dragon Quests, two Star Oceans and half the rest of their back-catalogue, but not their most popular and best selling game of all time? They're just witing to free up resources to do it right. I imagine once FFXIII is done, that team will move onto FFVII.

Kuraudo

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> I'm shocked at the negative reactions. From just watching the "Why" trailer for the first time, this might as well be Final Fantasy 7.5 on the PS2.

My friends and I just got chills from watching this trailer -- this could be the biggest system-seller Japan has ever seen for this console!

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> "Quick the horse isn't quite dead yet, keep flogging"

I wish they'd just move on, it was an amazing game but it had it's day, make something new instead of putting resources into spin-offs and prequels and sidequels

Can't understand why people want a remake so much.

Odd that you woudlnt want another chapter.

TheIrishNinja

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> Ok, enough already!!! For more than a decade, people the planet over have been wearing out their knees, praying for a remake of FFVII.

Instead of using up all this good processor time to make prequels,sequels,nyquils, and dayquils, why not just cut to the chase already and just update the game whose sales will blow everyone else away like they were demos?

The money and the tech are already here. All of us know it. You've already done two movies, for corn sake. That's almost a disk and a half of game animation in equivalent work. A few years back, you gave us a taste of what could be, with one of the most watched, most downloaded "demonstration" reels ever released.If that didn't give somebody over there a big clue, I think somebody over there is either just plain stupid, or brain dead.

In the interest of disclosure, I love FFVII, and still play it when I can coax life out of an old PC I have set up just so I can still run the game. I have never bought, nor will I ever buy any of these watered down half-efforts you have offered a loyal fan base. I will accept nothing less than the very best you and technology can do with what is arguably the best game in the greatest series of games ever done.

So dear Square-Enix, stop messing about and just give us and the world more of what you already know that we want, for goodness sakes.

Hitokiri151

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> It's funny that there's always talk of FFVII being milked dry, but at least each entry in the compilation was something different. I could understand the complaints if we were talking about FFI which has had at least FIVE remakes, each time being the same game with slightly better graphics. Anyway, I'm buying Sony's shiny brick for this game. The combat shown thus far looks cool and the plot looks to be interesting too.

Regardless of what people think of FFVII, a lot of people are missing one important point. This is a PSP game and it is looking damn impressive.

DigitalHero

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @Spidermonkey: I agree on the logic of remakes in that one comment of yours. FF7 has a little anime movie, a CG movie, cups, figurines, crazy cosplayers, you name it.

Originality is something SE tries to...avoid. By that, I don't mean the flashy effects and whatnot, but I mean taking a name and slapping a number on it. Final Fantasy....14! Dragon Quest (Warrior)....12! Patent that and ship it out, Ricky! We've got ourselves a game!"

Thing is, you could take FF7, DQ3, etc...and give them their own name. -As someone mentioned, FF7 seems like it's own franchise now. Imagine if it had been called something else. Sometimes I think that the name Final Fantasy/Dragon Quest is more of a lack of coming up with a name than it is milking money from fanboys and girls.

Now, remake a game like FF6, or maybe even an older game (maybe the ones with Dark Knight Cecil, or the one with Julius) or maybe even Dragon Warrior (Quest) 3? That game defined my years of Gameboy Colorhood.

Or how about a brand new IP? MAYBE, just maybe, one without the cliché JRPG overtones. (ie. Spikey hair, disgruntled past, the one female character -or main heroine, automatically will end up with the main character. Good always prevails, amnesia is contagious. The bad guys NEVER aim right. You start out weak, but suddenly, by the end, you go from struggling to beat up a mutant dog to taking down a giant mecha-god or whatever....etc etc...) -Heard FF: Crystal Bearers starts you out strong. There's a step. Anyways, I've been blown off topic...I think....

TheIrishNinja

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> Final Fantasy VII is probably the only chapter that held my attention the whole way through. More than anything else, I really enjoyed the environment. There are hundreds of Japanese RPGs that take the "Here there be dragons" route. FF7 took the decidedly more sci-fi, steampunk tone seen in some later areas of FF6 and expanded on it. I'm not fighting some nameless evil wizard king or dragon god; I'm fighting against the Shinra Company.

Kyouryuu

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @ Spidermonkey:
Out of all their IP's, I really wish the Chrono line could get some new work. Chrono Trigger & Cross are easily my favorite RPG's of all time, and why they haven't made another is beyond me. But I could see a new Final Fantasy 7 working out ok. Sure, there hasn't been a really good game from Square in...well...a long time (12 just didn't cut the mustard IMO) But they've put so much work into Advent Children and all of these supporting games in the universe that a groundwork is in place for something new and great.

And could you imagine a complete overhaul? A newer, faster battle system, a better world map with whole new areas to explore, less random battles and more choice, a whole library of new NPC's and maybe even new party characters, new materia and items, a remastered soundtrack...it wouldn't just be a rehash, it would be an entirely new game just set inside a universe that we know and love and...oh, hell. It probably won't happen. But we can always dream...

Sparkamus

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> In the Final Fantasy universe, it makes sense for foot soldiers' guns to not really do any damage. They probably hit the dude several times, but we all know that guns are weaker than swords unless they're wielded by badass people, and you can take several machinegun bursts to the face before needing a potion.

I kinda like that kinda logic, actually. Makes more sense than "getting hit is fatal now because this is a cutscene and not a random battle". If characters can do something in a battle, they should be able to do it in other situations.

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @fatbaldnet:

"Whoops. Anyway, fire those guys that shoot guns at Zacks. It's like they're not even trying."

Did you seriously expect trained, professional soldiers to actually be able to hit their target? No, that makes too much sense in a Final Fantasy cutscene; what we need is for them to fire their weapons like they never held one before in their life, while giving the protagonist enough time to do several flashy sequenced jumps and obliterate them in one swift move!

But seriously, I wish Square-Enix stop using so much CGI that doesn't represent the actual finished product (aka I bet Zack won't be able to do that in game).

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @Timmay!:

And the new generation of gamers can play the Playstation version. Using that kind of logic, Nintendo should should had remade the original Super Mario Bros several times now over the last 20 years.

Final Fantasy 7 doesn't need a remake, stop asking for it, and instead ask for something original from Square-Enix, we don't need to reconfirm that all they should do is milk the same fucking franchise over and over.

Spidermonkey

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> Well Yeah, MIT, we'd all want a graphical update, but come on, I trust Squeenix about as much as I'd the devil.

Quite honestly I loved the graphics in the original, but going back now, their are pretty noisey, a resolution upgrade would filter that out honestly and yes a full blown graphic update and game tweak would be grand, but again, change one thing opens the flood gates for all kinds of things.

I'm sure you saw the movie, it was about as dull, lifeless, boring, and typical animetard as it got.

Ape.of.Gods

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @Unastheslayer-PSN: You've obviously never seen FFVII: Advent Children. And for all of you saying "ZOMG DONT REMAKES FFVII!!!!1!!", have you even thought about giving a new generation of gamers playing what Is widely considered one of the best RPGs all time? I am actually one of those. I would dearly love to play FFVII, but alas, you can really only get new copies for at least $100.

FOXHOUND

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @Ape.of.Gods:

You act like if they were to remake it they'd change the entire game. I'm talking a mere graphical update, with dialogue changes perhaps that tie its entire storyline together better, what with all the spinoffs. Trying to go back and replay the game now is painful. It had extremely primitive 3D graphics. The world of FFVII, especially Midgar, is something that would benefit greatly from the graphical updates of today. The more modern, industrial setting and story would also suit a lot more gamers of today, and the game would gather tons of new fans, who would then go out and buy the spinoffs.

So it would even make sense for Squenix's money-milking plan for FFVII.


Oh and, if they remixed the soundtrack, I'd be in love.

Mit

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> Those Shinra troops must have studied at the Imperial Stormtrooper Academy of Marksmanship. They can't even hit a target that stayed still for 1.5 seconds. And I guess they transplanted the bizarro-land physics from Advent Children into this game. I don't know, there's a point where my suspension of disbelief for games breaks, and I'm pretty sure sword-wielding-in-a-futuristic-world, double-jumping, faster-than-a-train, bullet-deflecting protagonists go WAY past that point. Add in the military personnel that can't seem to hit a non-moving/non-shifting target so close to them, that it's a wonder they've been fielded for active duty, and you've got a thoroughly unbelievable intro.

I realize that some people like this stuff, and more power to them. As for me though, I like at least some semblance of realism, or at least, the appearance of realism. This video just throws it out the window.

darksteel1989

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @Mesren_Makai: I reckon FFVI will be remade for the Wii because it was originally made for the SNES anyway and the Wii is selling well. There's money to be made there, so why not put it on the Wii?

Unastheslayer-PSN

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> First of all Last Dread, they're machine guns so they'll obviously not be very accurate in the first place. Second they're on a moving object so again their aim wouldn't be steady. Thirdly, since they are on a fast moving train the bullets wouldn't be going ANYWHERE near their intended direction. Considering the wind factor would completely screw it over.

On to Zack, if you've seen Advent Children, where Cloud was basically at SOLDIER quality you would know that it is all that far from the "truth" as to it, though it is still unrealistic.

SPARX88 if you went back to the basement, in Disc 3 I believe, there is a flashback. Zack gets out of the mako chambers and takes Cloud with him. They get a ride in a truck and in order to make sure Cloud doesn't die, he tries to get Cloud occupied by telling him soldiers of him in SOLDIER. Obviously Cloud took on some, or most, of Zack's mannerisms and that's why he had a similar fashion of getting off the train.

BlackGraffiti

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> why are bullets so weak nowadays? like really 300m/s in most handguns today but were talking about automatic rifles from the future but still 300 m/s and the guy just runs through em and deflects like 2 with his sword....seriously WTF? and im totally disregarding the whole flying seen where he goes even faster than the train...physics says as soon as he left contact with the train hed lose speed. then theres the running and slashing on the train.
oh yea its just a game, but seriously it makes me angry how lame, uncool and ridiculous it is.

Before the fanboy flaming start, I should clarify my comment.


Although I do respect the fact Final Fantasy 7 was a great game (although I feel it isn't the best in the series), the amount of projects on it over the years is, well, how do I put it in words.... mind boggling. I can understand the movie and a few spin offs, and I can understand fleshing out the story plot some more, but damn it is like they are trying to write an almanac of every single event in its universe.

Things has gotten to the point where I consider Final Fantasy 7 its own series, which in itself is hard to believe. Square-Enix has so many IPs to work with, yet they continue to milk not just FF7 but FF and DQ, looking at their TGS list and you see nothing but DQ this and FF that. I've heard a few people refer to Square-Enix as the "EA of Japan", and I have to agree with the statement partly.

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @Spidermonkey: You're right. As much as I love Final Fantasy VII, this opening movie was lame.

vagrantscholar

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> Uggh, I hope Square-Enix gets off their high of milking the FF7 universe soon, it wasn't really all that great and deserving of all this attention.

Spidermonkey

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> FF7 was a classic masterpeice why would you want a remake? Have you seen the recent FFs? We'd get Cloud as some 80s pop singer and Sephiroth as a stripper.

Leave it alone and let the classic be.

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> tgs and year of ff7 seems like a good enough reason for people to keep up their hopes. just remember square specifically said that the year of ff7 ended after december is over.

Rabidsquirrel

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> Man, it's stuff like this that makes me want a remake of FFVII even more. The world of FFVII could be done so much more justice with good graphics. They've already remade most of Midgar, why not do the rest of the game? -.- It gives me hope that they may actually announce a remake though. What better game to close the FFVII compilation set than the remake of the original? I don't understand why they didn't start with a remake though. They limited their audiences with these games more by not releasing a remake first, because a remake would've reigniting many fans desire for FFVII, and brought in new fans as well.

In any case, remake FFVII please :\

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> congrats square, u have just made every ff7 fanboy/girl pee and crap in their pants. both an exciting intro and a ode to ff7's intro.

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @QC8472:

Yeah me too D: But I waited too long and ended up paying $100 more.

Allenby

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @Allenby: Would have taken one at 299... :(

QC8472

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> Yeah Play-Asia has them. And they used to be $299.

Allenby

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @QC8472: Thank You! $400? Darth Vader it is!

topaz420

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @topaz420: play-asia still has them :P

QC8472

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @Allenby: Where did you order the FF7 Special Edition?!?!? With the fanaticism over FF7 in Japan I was sure all 77,777 were gone the day it was announced.

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> Why is the other guy using the Buster Sword?

Well anyway, great animation! And yeah, the characters look a little bit more buffed now.

FP Belias

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> I'm so excited about this game, I might actually play it with a translation guide. Next year is just WAY too far away.

topaz420

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> Damn those soldiers were bad shots.

WarlordPayne

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> DaveKap; that statement just shows you don't appreciate and understand the subtlety of Pixars animation.

the Final Fantasy stuff looks alright, but animated well? If you consider moving around and doing stuff animation; sure. But I'm talking emotion, character, and life.... these guys don't come close to what Pixar does.

Ape.of.Gods

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> Yeesh, I hope these FMV animators make as much money as Pixars', considering their talent is oh-so wasted on in-game FMVs that won't get nearly the same audience as if they'd work in Hollyword or at least on TV.

DaveKap

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @Allenby: I almost bought the PSP slim too, but then again 425$ for it? I just.. couldn't justify it to myself... I'll buy a normal one later, even just for the PSP games to TV option :)

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @Rabidsquirrel:

Except Cloud only took over parts he was there to see. Unless Cloud was one of the soldiers trying to kill him I dont think thats the case

Sparx

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @QC8472:

Final Fantasy VII is probably my favorite game by far. I also preordered Crisis Core, but that along with the limited edition FFVII PSP Slim.

Allenby

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> @Sparx88: Well hes even in the same area as cloud in the first game. So with cloud more or less taking over Zack's identity at first. It kinda makes sense. Plus he wasn't swinging his sword. Not as cool :-p

Rabidsquirrel

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> As I write this, I'm currently in the last area of FF7, going after sephiroth in my first FF7 game.
It is a game I should have played a long time ago, but I'm glad I just did.

Pre-ordered Crisis Core the other day and it's looking like a solid choice! =D

QC8472

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> That dismount there at the end looked awful similar to the FFVII tech demo. Coincidence? Hmmm.....

Sparx

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> This is a spin-off I might enjoy.

SolDieR

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> Sure does look pretty, but I'm sure it would be a lot prettier if it didn't have that annoying watermark in the video.

But then again the opening movie is no indicator of how the game will actually play.

But then again it's a FF game so it's bound sell and Squeenix will make more money.

]]> <![CDATA[Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Intro]]> September 13th is the date.
