Remember that big scorpion tank you had to fight in the beginning of Final Fantasy VII? well here’s what it will look like in the new remake.
The new images were revealed by Tetsuya Nomura, director for the remake at the Magic Monaco 2017 event that happened recently. One image shows Cloud and Barret raining death on said scorpion tank with a look at the game’s interface, while the second shows Cloud taking cover behind some crates.
By the way, this is what the tank looked like in the original.
The HUD is looking pretty simple, it doesn’t look horribly different from what we already see in the original, but why exactly is there a slot for both Magic and Materia? doesn’t magic come from equipping materia? only time will tell. At least it looks like you can make use of your environment in battles.
That’s about all the new stuff we know about the Final Fantasy VII remake though, as Nomura wanted to show off a video at the event but the decision was vetoed by his colleagues.
They also released an image for Kingdom Hearts 3, but sadly didn’t reveal any more.
Both games have yet to get a solid release date (or one for that matter) so it looks like we’re still in for a whole lot of waiting.
