Oh man! That’s pretty awesome! I grew up on newgrounds myself! I occasionally would sign in and just reminisce! So many talented creators got their fame from that website!

Me and my friend used to love watching the decline of video gaming, they were awesome!
Shout out to stick death too! Loved the games and the animations, I miss that era so much ☹️

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Developers Talk the Meaning of 'Rebirth,' Returning Characters, and More

IGN: "With a brand new Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth trailer revealing the release date is imminent (February 29), we here at IGN naturally are full of questions about this next installment in the trilogy of games remaking and essentially rewriting the original classic. So we did the only thing that made sense: we peppered the game's developers with these questions, and brought the answers back to you."

Great info. Nice to get clues on how close the story holds to the OG. Nice details on tracking, acquiring, and breeding chocobos, and their abilities also.

This is one of the very few "day 1" games for me this gen.

There's no single game I want more right now. They've really been handling this remake with care, and it's the closest thing to reliving that experience again for the first time. All due respects to the RE remakes.

shinoff218319h ago(Edited 19h ago)

I'll be honest I thought for awhile square was gonna pull a , when you travel to the next town pick that town off a list. Atleast from the trailer it looks more like the og traveling wise I believe. Really looking forward to this. Hope that made sense

KwietStorm_BLM14h ago

Not sure I know what you mean. Like selecting areas from a list instead of actually traversing the map? Because that would suck.

i encourage everyone to go to Max doods twitch.

he played the demo or a portion of the game and showed it off on his twitch channel

MrNinosan18h ago

Everyone and their mother did, but yeah, Dood is one of the best when it comes to covering Final Fantasy VII content.
Also his spoilercast with Easy Allies from 3 years ago is amazing.

gold_drake12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

i cam assure you, not everyone does ha.
and no, the easy allies wasnt good

the dropped frames was miles better.

shinoff21831d 12h ago

Can't wait for this. Just a shame about saves not carrying over.

Workshyskiver1d 2h ago

What! So my grind to LVL 50 with max materia was for nothing :(

CrimsonWing691d 2h ago

I think if you look at these as sequels it makes more sense. I think the balancing between each game would be too difficult to incorporate keeping new players in mind and transferring over progress from level 50 players.

Like 13 trilogy nothing transferred over or like 10-2.

shinoff218319h ago

Workshyskiver, that's exactly my thoughts I put in some work on that front

Workshyskiver1d 2h ago

Looking forward to it. I just hope they let us play the game a bit more rather than interrupting us every few minutes to look at something like a door opening etc.

Knightofelemia23h ago

So waste cash on the remake to find out you can't swap the save over what a waste.

MrNinosan18h ago

Other than .Hack, I can't think of other games where you can transfer your save data to the sequel.

I'm happy each game is their own, and as SquareEnix stated, they want every game in the trilogy to be enjoyable by anyone, wether they jump in on Remake, Rebirth or the third game.

Knightofelemia14h ago

Trails of Cold Steel you can And the newer Trails games that came out you can carry over your save even ME you can carry over your save.

shinoff218314h ago

Would it of been that difficult for them to allow save transfers and people fresh starts. I feel numerous games have done it. Didn't mass effect, knightoffelemia mentioned trails games, I know there's been a few others.

I'm still really really looking forward to rebirth, so it's not a deal breaker just would've been nice. They still have time maybe ? Hopefully they have a change of heart on the saves

Snookies1216h ago(Edited 16h ago)

I seriously don't get this... How is it people were expecting sava data to carry over? It was pretty obvious that wouldn't be a thing. Considering they were calling each part it's own game. In fact, if I'm not mistaken they mentioned it wouldn't happen a long time ago.

You would be way too overpowered going into Rebirth. Not to mention, by the time we got to part 3 our characters would be like level 150 or something. That's a bit overboard. Remake was a fantastic game. Not sure how you can call Remake a "waste" just because of a feature that you "thought" might happen in the future.

shinoff218314h ago

By the time I got toward the end of disc 2 og ff7 I was level 99. And?

No it wasn't that obvious at all.

Snookies1213h ago(Edited 13h ago)

@shinoff2183 - That doesn't mean that's how the game is MEANT to be played. Of course you can power level in an RPG... You're ignoring the main point of my comment. That the developers have always stated each installment is "it's own game". That's why it's obvious it wouldn't carry over. I was simply making a small point about the leveling being a bit ridiculous as an added note.

CrimsonWing6915h ago

How is playing the first part of the story a waste of cash? 🤷‍♂️

shinoff218314h ago(Edited 14h ago)

Crimson,

Right, it's kind of only the setup and all for the game. Naw just skip your good. Wtf who would skip it
