Seems like a good thread for me to leak s*** on the low. Don't expect FF7R at PSX, the next big showing is already decided to happen after KH3 is released though Kitase and Nomura are trying to convince the higher ups to let them do a KH3+FF7R event at E3 but it doesn't seem like they'll give the ok, they want to market it when it will be closer to release.

FF7R right now is in no shape to be shown in real time because a lot of gameplay aspects are not yet set in stone (will explain below).

Lot of s*** is going on right now, the development was stalled for a few months after CC2 [CyberConnect2, vg dev mostly known for the .hack series that was partnered with SE for this project] was fired. It's not in "dev hell" or anything and it is actually progressing nicely. Problem is that CC2 did a s*** job on many parts and we have to reevaluate the entire project, see what we should keep and what we should rebuild from scratch which f***ed our schedule a bit and we missed some deadlines.

We restarted development in September after hiring new staff and pulling some seniors from Division 2.

Do you know anything else on PSX or only FF7R stuff? When will they reveal Tifa if it's the latter?

All the character designs including Tifa have been finalized. There is no plan to reveal characters in specific order. The only character the team is thinking of definitely revealing at the next showing is Aerith.

Tifa's tits have been slightly nerfed though.[sigh]

How far into the story will part 1 be? End of Midgar?

The final boss of the first game is Jenova birth. That's where part 1 ends.

What's the timeframe for kh3 then, if we have to wait until thats out?

KH3 is set for the end of 2018, no specific date as they don't know when they will be ready. Some of our senior battle planners are working on both 7R and KH3, i heard it's progressing pretty well and they haven't missed any deadlines so far.

I don't know much more about kh3, not a lot of communication going on about it in the office.

Last post and i am out.

For the world map we're working on something similar to XII [an open world split into zones, but still an open world confirmed!], not as many loading screens. Areas are split into zones but we're trying to make each zone as big and seamless as possible.

To get into cities you will also have to go through a loading sceen but the cities will be completely seamless or at least that's the plan. Making Midgar completely seamless has been pretty f***ing hard because it's way bigger than it was in the original game. Splitting the city up with loading screens is still possibility if we fail but Nomura is pretty stubborn about this.

ไม่เชื่อตั้งแต่บอกว่าประกาศหลัง KH III เพราะไม่เชื่อตั้งแต่บอกว่า KH III จะขายปลายปี 2018
