It's not just for movies anymore, yet another high quality (or at least high priced) remake/reboot of a popular video game series is going to be released on April 10th, this time for a legend in video game history, 1997's Final Fantasy VII.
It certainly looks beautiful, though on a glance the combat does look a bit intimidating to me, but then again everything that uses a gamepad and isn't turn based is intimidating to me.
Final Fantasy VII was a pretty big landmark in video game and RPG gaming history and is probably the most famous Final Fantasy release in general with characters like Cloud Strife, Tifa, Aeris and of course Sephiroth entering the gamer lexicon. Just seeing it gives me a dose of nostalgia over a game that I was probably too young to truly enjoy the breadth of and play through all the way. But I remember the atmosphere, the sweeping story and settings and the multilayered plot and journey the very distinct and likable characters went through.
Not sure if I'll attempt a playthrough of the remake, but it's definitely making a strong argument for me to sink time into a failed playthrough.
At the very least, it'll be better then the movies IIRC.
