Many of the original Final Fantasy VII staff are working on Final Fantasy VII Remake, such as Kitase-san himself, director Tetsuya Nomura, and scenario writer Kazushige Nojima.
Final Fantasy VII Remake's battle system blends action combat with command selection. Gameplay footage shows Cloud and Barret engaging a Custom Sweeper.
You'll be able slow time to a crawl when you open the Command screen to select abilities, spells, and items. The ATB gauge below the HP gauge will fill over time and with normal attacks.
The gauge below an enemy's HP bar is the Stagger (Burst) gauge. Fill it to maximum and they will be Staggered and take an increased amount of damage.
You can destroy objects in the field that may yield MP-restoring mako crystals. MP is used to cast spells based on the materia you have equipped.
Barret's gun-arm can reach enemies at a distance easier than Cloud's heavy buster sword.
The party menu UI.
Cloud can select 20 or 30 minutes on the bomb he and Barret plant on the mako reactor's core.
When party members leave:
If you select 'Classic' mode, characters will attack and guard on their own although you can select commands manually.
Mini-games are also being remade in Final Fantasy VII Remake, such as the squats minigame where you must time button presses to perform squats correctly.
After a few squats the UI disappears. Mess up an input and Cloud will take a tumble.
Moving on to another gameplay clip in which Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith fight Aps.
Cloud (sporting his Hardedge weapon) summons Ifrit to battle. Summons appear for a limited time based on the purple gauge on the right and will fight on the field alongside you. Their actions can be managed in the command menu.
Final Fantasy VII Remake releases on March 3, 2020. Pictured below are the pre-order bonuses as well as the Deluxe and 1st Class Editions. Of note: pre-ordering digitally on the PlayStation Store in Japan will include the Carbuncle summon.
