FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE - ALL SUMMONS COMPARISON - ORIGINAL VS REMAKE

[@DmonHiro]

What I REALLY like is what that the characters thank the summons when they leave "You really helped", "Take care going home". "Thank you". It's so cute.

[@bit_link1264]

i think it's because they consider them like gods/superior creatures

[@souldanny.]

@@bit_link1264 I haven't played the original. Do they ever mention them in conversations or are they just a gameplay feature?

[@bit_link1264]

@@souldanny. they are just a gameplay feature. but in other games like ff10 they have an actual role in the story

[@sofaris576]

Honestly I like just in general when characters show apriciation fore there allies. In Persona 5 the navigator alwaise praised a character when they knocked down an enemy ore dodged an attack. And In Persona Q2 the Characters praise each other in combat ore comment on there level ups which makes it extra frustrating that Persona Q2 has no english dub. And those lines have no sub. There is also this anime "Made in Abyss" where the main trio is super apriciative of the others. Especially Riko. Hanneman once said its always nice to hear "Job well done" but to me its also always nice if the protagonists get to hear it.

[@jesus123lozano]

@@souldanny. FF7 don't mention much about summon, only like a few unquiet materia get special privilege of being mention. Ofc literally evry other game mention them but only 4-6,8-15 actually link to the story. FF3 had a summoner town but they weren't really involved MSQ.

[@ZU37CURL]

Just imagine how Bahamut ZERO, Knights of the Round, and Supernova will look like for the FF7 Remake.

[@michaelhanson5773]

Plot twist... budget cuts result in those not existing. Going to be so mad if they they remove summons but part of me is wondering how they will implement the KOTR summon being obtainable. Wish tue remake was done already.

[@youngkidrules]

Unfortunately the game will probably never be finished.

[@Zackarco]

@@michaelhanson5773 Knowing Square they'll put the KotR materia in the same location(or similar)but they'll add a super boss that you need to defeat first. Which from a gameplay standpoint, it would make sense considering it's one of the most powerful materia in the game.

[@aryaranggaramadhika4427]

now that is something I liked to see,, those summons are insane in the original,,

[@gregw_729]

Extra dlc for each one probably

[@marcofreire]

The Ramuh one was amazing. Goose bumps.

[@LadyBrightcynder]

Your attention to detail in editing these together is seriously impressive, thanks for this!

[@YOYODODO]

Thank you very much Lady Brightcynder :)

[@MegaPhilX]

While the 3D is obviously better, personally, I prefer the camera work of the original summons to the stuff from the remake which is too fast and chaotic. You can barely understand some of the action in the Remake's attacks. For example, Leviathan. In the original, the camera is positioned to show the point of view of the monsters and there is no unnecessary movement. So you can see how big the incoming tidal wave is. In the Remake, it's hard to see what is happening. Ifrit has the same problem when he does his final attack. TLDR, I think the camera moves around too much and too fast in the Remake, making the action hard to read compared to the original.

[@MathiasTJL]

Well said man. True to the original and respect the remake as well. Now THIS, is a comment who understands arts, camera works, and choreography rather than just focusing on graphic details using the present design tech.

[@lionsroar2512]

Same! It almost looks like it playing on fast forward. Very hard to watch and you miss a lot of the subtle movements from the characters because of it.

[@DeMortuisAutNilAut]

I agree! The remake suffers from the same issue that a lot of modern action movies do, in that there's too many cuts and it doesn't flow properly. The original was simpler and graphically crude but the camera angles and framing were perfect, and the cuts from shot to shot felt natural.

[@mr.duanesharpe]

I normally use the command button to slow motion and pivot the camera to see what’s going on. I agree though for the most part.

[@zdzislawdyrman2628]

It's like Hong Kong action movies from 80's and modern action movies comparison - in new movies (most of them) everything is so flashy, chaotic and shaky so in the end you don't know what's going on. Same for this game, lot of chaos on screen but in the end it doesn't look that great.

[@elizabethchint6485]

They really did wonders on Shiva, she looked so bland in the original. She looks absolutely stellar in the remake.

[@whocaresNOBODYCARES]

Yeah it reminds of 11 and 14 and given to 7 Reborn.

[@elizabethchint6485]

Yeah, I played the OG back in 2011 and I always thought she looked bland. My brothers played FF8 first so when I saw that games Shiva I was absolutely blown away. I think that's why I say her original design was bland.

[@picklejho69]

I think the point of Shivas design back then was simplicity/efficiency. They only had so much polygons to work with, and I think they made her look great for what they had. I actually think she looked subjectively better in the original myself, as she moved with more deliberate grace. In the remake, the spastic camera work serves to subtract from that grace, though I think the camera work for all the remake summons suffer in the same way. I like to contrast FF7 Remakes Ramuh with FFXV's Ramuh. The same for Leviathan, and I would say Shiva/Ifrit too, but her and Ifrit are kinda cinematically tied in FFXV so it's a bit different. Not sure if either of them had a world summon, but the summons in FF7 Remake just feel like bigger enemies that fight for you, with effects and camera work that makes my eyes hurt, whereas in FFXV they felt like truly spectacular moments that completely changed the pace and feel of gameplay. I hope they go with more of that feel for the next part of FF7 Remake.

[@flipper9038]

All the summons look stellar honestly!

[@elizabethchint6485]

Yeah that's true.

[@archiew168]

Hopefully they don't forget the other ones like Typhoon, Titan, Kujata, Alexander, Phoenix, Hades...I'm excited for Neo Bahamut, Bahamut Zero and KOTR! :)

[@sora6748]

I do like bahamut look in the remake I just wonder how they will make NEO Bahamut and Bahamut Zero look because we will get them in parts 2 & 3, also it will be interesting Knights of the round in part 3 summon summoning 12 demon knights on the field how that will work.

[@Mr.Hassett]

Maybe each knight will teleport in and out depending on what basic attack, range they're at, special ability, and ultimate they're doing. For example, all or them do the "ultimate" of course but one shoots at medium range, one shoots at long range, one does heavy atta ks, one does light attacks, one does Arial melee, one does aerial long range, one heals, one or two do one special, one or two so another special, a few do a 2 ATB cost move, and so on

[@udalix]

Knowing square, it wont end up as a summon, itll be in the game as some story thing, if its even there. Part one had summons not even in the original, they arent sticking to the original 1 to 1.

[@johnnierico9644]

There will be only Arthur going around smacking everyone with Excalibur on the map.... then the ultimate will start.. he summon his knights for the finishing attack

[@johnnierico9644]

@@udalix no bro.. there’s no chance of that happening,. Sorry

[@holitinne]

Man I hope they don’t make KOTR a short scene in the sequels. I wanna see the enemy be torn to shreads in the void.

[@shadowdragon7839]

[@JuniFFXIVChannel]

As someone who has only played FFXIV, this was very insightful. I had no idea that summons were used in this way in other games. Crazy!

[@ROT695]

Summons have been used in multiple different ways in the series and have a different design depending on what game they are in. They usually kind of look the same but sometimes like in 13 they took a more robotic form and in 15 they was giants. In the remake they basically fight beside you and you can give them command for a certain amount of time before they do an ultimate attack and leave. It’s pretty cool haha

[@Lusiot]

In 11 they followed you around!

Man just imagine how epic the Final Fantasy 8 remake summons will be!

[@GreatLeviathen]

the only thing i dislike about the remake... The summoning system. The whole 1 use per boss battle etc and the fighting along with you at the cost of less epic mega attacks... They look amazing but you can barely use em and when you do their attacks are less epic. I miss the time where we could use any of em whenever we wanted and they all had epic attacks.

[@lostvii5594]

If you ever played it on pc, there is mods that give that style of freedom back. I played it with them on my first playthrough and enjoyed the heck out of it. Summon as many times as you want as long as you had enough MP. And make them launch their final move instantly then leave instead of waiting. Same with LB gauge loading as quick as it used to in the original instead of it being super slow as now they made it😊.

[@GreatLeviathen]

@@lostvii5594 Yeah i know hehe, i did the same when playing the Remake on Pc. Hopefully they will have it for Rebirth as well when it comes to pc.

[@deanokhalik173]

Really like the character and visual improvements. Particularly Leviathan and the Chocobos 😂 Something tells me your gonna have to take your dog for a walk when Knights of the round table is summoned. That's a whole damn movie!

[@soulsimplistic]

Some of these summon models were pulled from FFXIV. As far as Bahumut, I appreciate the entrance of the original version better.

[@TylerNessss]

Both FF7 and 7R have amaaaaaazign summons The only thing I dislike about the ones in R.. The camera is going so fast and almost hectic in some of these, which makes it harder to follow And thats also goes for the battle system as a whole. Vanilla 7 I was always aware about the damage output, keeping the overview and playing chess on the opponents. In R I still have a plan and you also need it to get the Platinum in my opinion, but there are definitely time where its just chaos.

[@edwardx4979]

Knights of the Round was easily top 3 Summons of ALL time! Sephiroth's Super Nova was beyond words: A power that could destroy planets on its way 😳... ungodly! 💫✨💫

[@sensation8342]

Cant wait for all the bahamuts animations and the knights of the round in the remake aww don’t forget the kujaja summon lol

[@warrengreen46]

Anyone else think there's a deeper connection with the summons, being from another dimension/world and the range of silver haired alien like villains, Jenova, Necron, ultima, ultimecia. Who also seem to have potential morphing dna, merging with summons, being reborn with just their cells etc. Like the summons help because these villains are potentially from their world or their nemesis or something

[@shigaxn]

It's mind-blowing just how big of a graphical leap this is.

[@songsan807]

Played the PS 1 FF7 when it first came out and the graphics at that time was amazing. After getting a Voodoo 2 card and play it on a PC, the graphics is better. The FF7 Remake is nice. Can't wait for it to finish the rest of the game.

[@Mr.Hassett]

I wonder if we get to keep the summons (or maybe they'll just be present in your inventory right off the bat if we can't load out save from part one). I think there's probably enough summons in FF7 to allow us to keep them and keep earning more in about two more parts. Of course each part will have a Bahamut variant as the ultimate summon (Bahamut for part one, Neo for part two, and ZERO for part three).

[@Mr.Hassett]

Oh I guess Knights of the Round would be the ultimate summon for the last part so maybe if there's a part 4, just do that. Im thinking they'll stick to three parts though. I really don't see it going further than three parts. It's almost illogical for them to do more than three.

Yes, thanks to the popularity of Kingdom Hearts they went with this style of gameplay, but personally I really wish it was just classic turn-based as I don't really care for the Kingdom Hearts real-time battle system all that much and would also prefer to get a maximum nostalgia feel through classic gameplay. I still overall like this particular style of gameplay though, and I know they could have done what you described even with this real-time battle style.

[@mygraduation77]

Squaresoft is really amazing. The fact that the team is able to create a different look for all the summons, it is just impressive. It just get better every time. I am only sad that they did not have knights of the round summon which I was really looking forward to....

I really like the new designs. But i can't appreciate much the new animations. I think it's because the animation is done on the stage and you can see the busy background. Maybe adding an ambient background during the animation will help a lot. Like adding thick mist during shiva's attack so that we can see more of shiva when she's moving.

Less variety of colors on a single character as well as less variety for the overall roster. The design updates are pretty cool and not too far off from the originals, which is nice. Maybe someday we'll get fan mods that adjust the colors and maybe even give us more classic designs, but I'm more concerned about the colors, which I'm sure a fan modder can do much easier than a complete remodeling.
