“FINAL FANTASY VII Remake” was released in April 2020, which reborn the masterpiece RPG that prevailed in the PS era. However, not all of the original is included, and the story depicts the escape from Midgar.
It captivated game fans in many ways, including polished graphics and completely refined scenarios, but that’s why many people have been waiting for the continuation of the story. Although there was no follow-up report for a while, the long-awaited “FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH” (hereinafter referred to as FF7 Reverse) was officially announced, and the entire work was revealed to be a trilogy concept.
It’s just speculation, but if “FF7 Reverse” is the second of the trilogy, you can enjoy the middle part of the original. The middle part of “FF7” is full of highlights, but one of the most impressive ones is the amusement facility “Gold Saucer” built by the Shin-Ra Company.
Gold saucer was a glittering and exciting space at that time. It’s exciting just to imagine how it will be revived with modern technology. Not to mention the evolution of graphics, many mini games will surely be powered up.
It is said that “FF7 Reverse” will be released next winter, but the imagination that comes from expectations … No, the delusions are just spreading. With that in mind, I would like to look back on the typical elements of gold saucers.
■ Does “G Bike” inherit the bike scene of “FF7 Remake”?
The Gold Saucer had a number of mini-games. One of them is the “G Bike”, which uses a swashbuckler to defeat enemies while running a motorcycle.
Modern bikes and rugged melee weapons. Many game fans will be intoxicated with this combination. It’s hard to get the hang of it, but once you get used to it, you can knock down enemies one after another, and you can feel comfortable improving your skills.
Speaking of motorcycle battles, “FF7 Remake” also had a mini-game to defeat the enemy while riding a motorcycle. The realism brought about by the improved graphics is tremendous, and the appearance of the cloud, which shows a powerful turn that can never be achieved in reality, is convincing that Jesse is attracted.
The bike scene in “FF7 Remake” was an action that occurred while the scenario was in progress, but if you have a “G bike” in the gold saucer of “FF7 Reverse”, you can enjoy it anytime and many times. Will the scene of “FF7 Remake” come as it is, or will it be even more powerful? Expectations are also high in that respect.
Speaking of “G bike”, some people may remember the game app “FINAL FANTASY VII G bike” released in 2014. This work, which sublimates “G Bike” into an independent single game, is inferior to the bike scene of the later “FF7 Remake” in terms of graphics, but this is the expansion of action and customizability.
Unfortunately, the service of the app version of “G Bike” has ended, but the possibility that it will be revived as a mini game of “FF7 Reverse” is not zero. Of course, I think adjustments and graphic renewals are essential.
Regardless of whether the app version of “G Bike” will actually be revived, I would like to expect the expansion and depth of the game of “G Bike” that will be implemented in “FF7 Reverse”.
And if allowed, I want you to add a new “tandem” that you can ride with your favorite character! Wouldn’t you like to carry Aeris and Tifa as well as Jesse? Barrett also come with Don! I hope Red XIII will run in parallel. Please come by all means.
■ Can I get those skills and materials at the “battlefield” of “FF7 Reverse”?
“FF7 Remake” had a stadium divided by Corneo, but the original Gold Saucer also has a stadium. By the way, since there was no Corneo Colosseum in the original “FF7”, it can be said that the elements of the arena were introduced ahead of schedule in the remake.
Since it has already been implemented, I don’t think it will be prepared for “FF7 Reverse” … but there is a possibility that it will be forgotten due to the priority. However, the flow is still disappointing, so I would like the Gold Saucer to set up a arena as well.
The Corneo Colosseum in “FF7 Remake” had a handicap element that items could not be used, but when it comes to the gold saucer’s arena, the “handy slot” is impressive. Depending on your luck, it’s a terrifying factor that can carry a pretty deadly handicap.
The venue of the original Arena and the Corneo Colosseum of “FF7 Remake” are different in the first place, but the enemies that appear and the game composition are also very different. Will the arena of “FF7 Reverse” be an upgraded version of the original, will it be based on the Corneo Colosseum, or will it show us a new proposal? Expectations and imaginations are mixed just by the direction of development.
Also, what is just as worrisome is what you can get with the victory reward. In the stadium of the original, very attractive things such as “Super Brothel”, which can be said to be a representative of the techniques used by the cloud, and “W Shokan” of Materia were lined up.
However, “Super Brothel” and “W Brothel” were not included in the first prize lineup, and were replaced as the game progressed. Whether or not the category depicted in “FF7 Reverse” is related to the prize lineup of the arena. This is also an interesting place.
In “FF7 Remake”, the Shin-Ra Battle Simulator was waiting after the Corneo Colosseum. Perhaps the gold saucer of “FF7 Reverse” also has something like a “true arena” that will be added later. It may be the third work to challenge it, but …!
