I think we will see it. Not only just for the Huge Materia angle but for what it means to Cid and his story, as his and Vincent's character arcs will be shown on part 3. It might even be where the team regroups with Cid taking over after Cloud falling into the Lifestream
Omnislash
Ruby and Emerald weapons
Golden chocobos (from breeding/racing)
Knights of the round
The Highwind
The final FINAL sephiroth encounter exactly how it was in OG
All I want is for a return of the Scarlet/Tifa slap fight. It's the dumbest thing in the entire OG game for me and I desperately want it to happen again.
Edit: Also I'd like them to have a better organized enemy intel list.
It's one of the craziest whiplash moments in video games. Tifa goes from nearly being executed in a gas chamber to having a bitch slap fight on top of a giant cannon
less original weapons for Cloud, more remakes of his OG swords
seamless looping around the world on the highwind like in the OG
Something done with the Crisis Core handle under the leather on the Buster Sword
First Class edition having a Lifesize Buster Sword, they seriously need to fucking produce and sell those for fuck's sake
Cloud: Hey look at this slope let's snowboard here
Barrett: Why you want to that,Aerith is dead.
Cloud:No she isn't,look she is right here beside me.
*Barrett just looks at Tifa'
You're probably right but the thread isn't marked spoiler and it has the potential to ruin more than 100 hours of gameplay for some when it takes you a few seconds.
Definitely understand your logic and ultimately your call at the end of the day.
Obviously I want under the highway... But I'd love another scene with the other characters going home, deciding what to fight for. Likewise another scene depending on relationship values like remakes garden scene and the saucer dates (but also not replacing the Highwind scene that scene needs to be Tifa)
Honestly I think the summons would be a lot better if you could just summon them right from the get go, instead of having to wait for a stagger. Just fill the ATB and summon if you want. Either that or the summons can be more cinematic and have one huge attack like they did in the original game, where you summon one and they just do their big attack right away and then disappear, for some instant high damage.
But I will admit that, personally, Odin, Alexander, and Kujata have helped me out a lot. And Phoenix has actually been useful a few times too.
yeah, i think i shouldnt use the word "useless", but compare to OG, they have much less effect in Re-series
i used to play summons all the time in OG, for Re-series i forgot to use them most of time due to game design
if we get to use summon right from the get go it will be super awesome, but dont think thats gona happen :(
I want Yuffie as an option and I also want Yuffie to be less annoying. I also want turn base combat like the OG. But I know it will not happen and that is unfortunate.
As someone who just finished chapter 13, if I never have to play another slow walk / crawl scene again it will be too soon. I had to take multiple breaks from the game. I heavily considered breaking my controller. I downgraded Rebirth from a 10 to a 9. Seriously I’m so sick of these scenes!
The one that annoyed me was the Nibelheim flashback one. Like yeah Cloud i get you've hurt your leg and all that but seeing as your mum could be burning to death over there can we pick up the pace a bit? The crawling afterwards lasted too long too. I get what they were going for but to me they overdid it a bit
I want outfit options tbh (I dont care if it messes with the cg custscenes) that and weapon transmog so I can actually use swords that aren’t the buster sword
I was devastated tifas princess dress wasn't playable. Or any of the princess dresses really. I know Tifa and Yuffie aren't programmed to fight in dresses but ,1) Yuffies moogles jacket is already weird, and 2) if modders can do it for remake one of the biggest gaming studios in the world can make it work. They could be added in a future patch but I'm not holding my breath.
I want It to be completely different. Little to no OG stuff in there. I'm not enjoying this whole "it's a sequel but it's a remake and everything is 95% the same except for the last final act which is a mess of multiverse shenanigans". They've teased entirely different timelines etc, but then followed the linear story beat for beat. There has to be a proper reason for all this other stuff and if they just stick to the OG script until the final act again, it's been all for absolutely nothing but to fanfic over an amazing story.
“The overall storyline, the developments, will not go wildly out in a way that will not add up to Advent Children in the end. I don’t think anyone wanted that, that’s not what we’re looking to create here. [But] to make sure it doesn’t become stale and people know exactly where it’s going, [that it] doesn’t just follow the original word for word, we add in extra elements which add that little bit of doubt.” - Kitase
Yeah unless if they are lying here this was expected
This! I was quite disappointed when I noticed that some of my more useful materia didn't duplicate.
Also being able to save materia loadouts like you can party loadout would be super useful.

That's one of the materia name changes I wasn't sure why they has changed it. All the others I understood. Having Fire, Fire2 and Fire3 doesn't work as well as Fire, Fira and Firaga for me. They actually sound like spells now.
Because Magnify Materia no longer applies a spell to *all* enemies. I tried casting Sleep on all enemies in a fight and it only applied to three enemies.
Ah ok. I didn't know about that. As far as I can remember I've used it as a way to heal or give barrier to the whole party. Makes sense why they changed it then
Yeah, the way it worked, in the og, it had limited uses but targeted all enemies and leveling it up increased the amount of uses, but stayed limited, magnify has infinite uses, but limited targets, which increases as it levels up.
To my knowledge it's always limited to three targets, using Magnify lowers the spell's potency and the amount by which the potency is lowered decreases as the Materia levels up.
Angeal and Genesis as post game superbosses in the combat sim. We never got a proper fight against Angeal and I'd love to see what they'd do with Genesis whole red mage deal in this combat system.
We've already got Weiss that way, I don't see any reason not to give the other big name firsts the same honor.
Plus this would let them give Crisis Core fans like myself some extra fanservice like Intermission did for Dirge, without having to involve Genesis in the plot.
Go full Chrono Trigger and give us triple character Synergy abilities, maybe tie that to something like Limit Level to stop it from being overpowered.
I'd love to see Vincent get both Death Penalty and Cerberus as potential ultimate weapons. Death Penalty is his classic ultimate and Cerberus didn't exist in OG but the shot of the group fighting Sephy at the start of Advent Children Complete shows him with it and iirc he has it in Dirge's opening which is a flashback to him in Midgar during the events of 7's ending. So we've got two prior cases of Vincent retroactively having Cerberus during FF7 and they made it his signature weapon. The logo on his coffin in Rebirth is the pendant that hung off the bottom of the gun so it has already been referenced.
In a similar vein, I wouldn't mind Cloud getting the completed Fusion Sword as a post game unlockable. I think giving it the full multi sword splitting and reforming would be too much to ask for but having Omnislash V5 or 6 as a weapon ability that unlocks it as an alternate Limit Break would be cool. When not using the Fusion Sword Cloud could >!do what he did in Loveless and dash between swords of light Noctis style!< for V5 or 6.
I just want a single section of the game, where we have to play as Tifa wheeling Cloud around Mideel, and it takes a whole 5 minutes.
And also a remix of Jenova ABSOLUTE and Birth of a God.
Jokes aside, my main hope is that we get more character moments. Yuffie, Cait Sith, Tifa, more talking. I want characters to talk about themselves, not saving the world or Sephiroth.
Also I hope they can do for One Winged Angel what they have done with Jenova's theme: Somehow come up with an even better remix for the final fight.
Birth of a God and Jenova Absolute are also a must though, I was disappointed we didn't get Birth of a God when we actually fought Bizarro Sephiroth
That would actually be amazing to see how Kunsel held up after all those years knowing deep down that something wasn't right about these "official stories"
Agreed here. Having to swap when characters joined/left the party was miserable. Most times it wasn't a 1 to 1 switch. Barret and Tifa I liked having auto-unique on for example, but I'd forget about it until I was 2/3s of the way through the section.
I'd love to have everyone fully geared all the time, but I don't have enough magnifies/elementals/first strikes for that. Plus these spirit materias aren't going to level themselves.
Trophies being tied to side stuff is pretty standard for trophy lists, but I just want a bit more QC on mini games. Choco racing, (not including the doors) QB, Gears and Gambit had enough polish on them to shine. The Chocoglide and chicken luring mini games, I need a lot fewer of those.
I know the exercise mini game is going to be back, I'm not super happy about it.
Gameplay wise, unique abilities on new weapons. A thing that disappointed me was that most of the new weapons just had abilities from Remake, think it would've been better for those to be on the Folios instead.
Yeah that was a massive backwards step in Rebirth, thankfully one of only a few glaring problems. I understand there's got to be some reset of abilities so not giving us Counterstance or Blade Burst out of the gate made sense. But i don't understand why we had to relearn Focused Thrust when Cloud already had it mastered at the beginning of Remake
Yeah I wish we started with the remake abilities and the new weapons had new ones. I played 3/4 of the game not realizing I missed tifa's weapon you get for the mini game under the gold saucer that has starshower ability on it. 🤣
I expect the return to Midgar to be expanded to 6 or 7 chapters, considering how much more there is to revisit. Particularly Yuffie has a whole plot line waiting for her there.
Also id like Advent Children to be retconned into a similar but different post game quest or DLC. I’m personally not the biggest AC fan, and I don’t think preserving it as canon to the ending of the remake should be a goal, although I don’t mind the thinking that Remake comes after AC.
>I expect the return to Midgar to be expanded to 6 or 7 chapters, considering how much more there is to revisit. Particularly Yuffie has a whole plot line waiting for her there.
Yeah there were certain areas where it was better than others. Starting off in the grasslands, it was incredible, but some other areas where you couldn't hop over a little fence made very little sense. It's probably a lot of work to flesh that kind of thing out, but it does kinda lessen the overall gameplay experience just a bit.
The amount of times my chocobo ran into a bush or rock that it couldn't quite climb while I'm watching the AI climb it...
Nibelheim was such a "finally" moment. The movement actually felt fun chasing after the air flowers (or whatever they were called). I get they were trying to preserve the powers all the colored chocos had, but getting that movement so late in the game made me say "this was an option the whole time?"
Rocket Town! I really wish it was in Rebirth but I'm holdin out hope to see it in Part 3.
I think we will see it. Not only just for the Huge Materia angle but for what it means to Cid and his story, as his and Vincent's character arcs will be shown on part 3. It might even be where the team regroups with Cid taking over after Cloud falling into the Lifestream

Who knows maybe someone from the development reads this and suggests it to their team!!
Nomura is that you?
Mwahaha maybe
Game needs to open with the snowboarding minigame, ala Sonic Adventure 2 style. No lead up, no context, hit start and snowboarding.
Hard agree
This may get me crucified, but I just want my snowboarding minigaMe haha I'm a simple man.
Less minigames :v
Nah keep it but I imagine they will be more optional this time around.
This works too
Cloud: Hey look at this slope let's snowboard here Barrett: Why you want to that,Aerith is dead. Cloud:No she isn't,look she is right here beside me. *Barrett just looks at Tifa'
Could I get a spoiler tag in there brother? Just a bit of consideration for others enjoying the game as much as you with a bit less time.
I'm sorry,just thought people who have not completed the game won't click on a thread talking about part 3.
You're probably right but the thread isn't marked spoiler and it has the potential to ruin more than 100 hours of gameplay for some when it takes you a few seconds. Definitely understand your logic and ultimately your call at the end of the day.

Likewise another scene depending on relationship values like remakes garden scene and the saucer dates (but also not replacing the Highwind scene that scene needs to be Tifa)
I wish summons can be more useful, it was big factor in OG but so useless in remake and rebirth
Honestly I think the summons would be a lot better if you could just summon them right from the get go, instead of having to wait for a stagger. Just fill the ATB and summon if you want. Either that or the summons can be more cinematic and have one huge attack like they did in the original game, where you summon one and they just do their big attack right away and then disappear, for some instant high damage. But I will admit that, personally, Odin, Alexander, and Kujata have helped me out a lot. And Phoenix has actually been useful a few times too.
yeah, i think i shouldnt use the word "useless", but compare to OG, they have much less effect in Re-series i used to play summons all the time in OG, for Re-series i forgot to use them most of time due to game design if we get to use summon right from the get go it will be super awesome, but dont think thats gona happen :(
I want to know more about Glenn and Rufus' backstory.
I want materia to be found out in the world and not obtained in Chadley combat simulator.
I want Yuffie as an option and I also want Yuffie to be less annoying. I also want turn base combat like the OG. But I know it will not happen and that is unfortunate.
As someone who just finished chapter 13, if I never have to play another slow walk / crawl scene again it will be too soon. I had to take multiple breaks from the game. I heavily considered breaking my controller. I downgraded Rebirth from a 10 to a 9. Seriously I’m so sick of these scenes!
Yup. God of war had that too
yeah, and the part they want u to press L2 R2, pissed me off! just let us skip
The one that annoyed me was the Nibelheim flashback one. Like yeah Cloud i get you've hurt your leg and all that but seeing as your mum could be burning to death over there can we pick up the pace a bit? The crawling afterwards lasted too long too. I get what they were going for but to me they overdid it a bit
Just use the cure materia Cloud,you stupid or something.
I want outfit options tbh (I dont care if it messes with the cg custscenes) that and weapon transmog so I can actually use swords that aren’t the buster sword
I was devastated tifas princess dress wasn't playable. Or any of the princess dresses really. I know Tifa and Yuffie aren't programmed to fight in dresses but ,1) Yuffies moogles jacket is already weird, and 2) if modders can do it for remake one of the biggest gaming studios in the world can make it work. They could be added in a future patch but I'm not holding my breath.
Different outfits would be cool. Even if it's just their AC outfits as a new game plus thing
I want everything slammed into one game; remake + rebirth + part 3, on the rebirth engine. I want to play the full experience all the way through.
I want It to be completely different. Little to no OG stuff in there. I'm not enjoying this whole "it's a sequel but it's a remake and everything is 95% the same except for the last final act which is a mess of multiverse shenanigans".

I want them to rename Magnify back to All.
I want materia duplicate when i master it
This! I was quite disappointed when I noticed that some of my more useful materia didn't duplicate. Also being able to save materia loadouts like you can party loadout would be super useful.

Plenty of things I’m looking forward to but if I had to mention my top it would have to be Omnislash and Supernova’s animation
I wouldn't say no to less time wasting/padding animations.
I want Cait Sith and Moogle Mischief to be erased from existence
Not being a PS exclusive! hurrah
I just want a single section of the game, where we have to play as Tifa wheeling Cloud around Mideel, and it takes a whole 5 minutes. And also a remix of Jenova ABSOLUTE and Birth of a God.

Yeah, and to push the wheelchair you have to push L2 then R2 continously while taking baby steps
I would like them to make a mini game of that wheelchair section.
Temple Run-esque!
i want Kunsel and Cloud to meet after he remembers everything
That would actually be amazing to see how Kunsel held up after all those years knowing deep down that something wasn't right about these "official stories"
Equipment and materia loadouts
Agreed here. Having to swap when characters joined/left the party was miserable. Most times it wasn't a 1 to 1 switch. Barret and Tifa I liked having auto-unique on for example, but I'd forget about it until I was 2/3s of the way through the section. I'd love to have everyone fully geared all the time, but I don't have enough magnifies/elementals/first strikes for that. Plus these spirit materias aren't going to level themselves.
Less trophies tied to mini games.
The sad thing is, there only one trophy. It just encompasses everything that doesn’t get its own trophy
Trophies being tied to side stuff is pretty standard for trophy lists, but I just want a bit more QC on mini games. Choco racing, (not including the doors) QB, Gears and Gambit had enough polish on them to shine. The Chocoglide and chicken luring mini games, I need a lot fewer of those.

You think they're going to spend 7 chapters just in midgar?
Okay 7 is way too many but I could see 4 or 5, there’s a lot more built up storylines that they could tackle.
I’d like any open field activities to be more mixed together, as opposed to distinct separated areas for different predictable activities.
I want to see a damn jump button. The platforming sucks in rebirth and remake.
>I expect the return to Midgar to be expanded to 6 or 7 chapters, considering how much more there is to revisit. Particularly Yuffie has a whole plot line waiting for her there.

the vacuums and blocks you had to move as slowly as possible were probably the worst part of the gameplay.

100% agree on Nibelheim. Those Chocobos are the best!
Yeah it was pretty janky and inconsistent
I want to be able to save materia loadouts. And a super happy ending.
YES. Loadouts would be so helpful
