FF VII G-Bike is based on the motorcycle racing mini-game that can be found at the Gold Saucer amusement park in FF VII. Although it bears a passing resemblance to the ubiquitous endless runner genre, Square producer Ichiro Hazama told IGN that G-Bike will have set courses for players to run through; these will take place in a variety of modes, including but not limited to: chase sequences, obstacle courses and boss encounters.
The game's E3 announcement trailer shows Cloud jumping and sliding to avoid obstacles, and swiping his iconic Buster Sword at nearby enemies as he races through the game's Midgar stage. The enemies are specific to each course, in this case the Behemoth being familiar to the Midgar location on display. Hazama said that Square is considering adding other areas from the iconic JRPG, and is open to adding more characters as well –– as of now, Cloud is the only one confirmed.

Last year, Square Enix said it wouldn't be porting the entirety of Final Fantasy VII to mobile devices anytime soon because of technical limitations; a Final Fantasy VII port would take over a gigabyte of space, and phones won't be able to withstand the space it takes, Square Enix director and producer Takashi Tokita said.
Hazama told IGN that pressure is especially high when incorporating Final Fantasy VII into anything; however, If G-Bike is received well, it may help bring a new Final Fantasy VII title to light, as it will show the fans are still interested.
As of now, there is no release date for Final Fantasy VII G-Bike.

So what do you guys think? Sadly when it comes out I'll probably grab it haha... *sigh*

Edit: Every time I try to post a YT link I get that invalid error. It's weird I just copy link from the YT app on my phone.

I vote for the remake, though I'm not a sure a remake is exactly what I would want so much as an HD remastering, (better than the FFX one, at least...I'll be thrilled if they do an HD remastering half as good as the one Konami did for the Metal Gear Solid series).

Yeah, just hurry up and remaster it. I don't think anybody is especially hurting for new biking modes. Not to mention that there hasn't been a decent main series FF in fucking ages.
uh lol ok i guess??? is how I feel about this.

It's cool that FFVII is still getting some love, but I think they should treat their brand more seriously with a little more reverence.
I don't really understand their stance, though. They would make more assured mad bank on a remake/remaster of FF7 than on all of these little leeching games together. Hell, release a remake/master of FF7 and then these little leeches and boom! Big bank cash time!

I just don't know...

That said, it does look pretty neat and it'd be pretty cool if, in a remake, they added it as a sort of minigame (hell, put it in the motorbike minigame instead) but yeah, it reads more minigame than full game.


(Also, hope you don't mind but fixed your youtube link. ^.^)
If it's free, I'll probably check it out to see if it's an okay time killer. If I actually have to buy it off the app store, I'll probably pass. A lot of Square-Enix's mobile games are horse shit. Crappy ports with pointless alterations (FF6) and free games that want to eat your wallet and contain zero actual gameplay (All the Bravest). I'm pretty wary for now.

I thought this thread was going to be about another game like Crisis Core (which I didn't mind too much), or Before Crisis (which I never played).
I've given up trying to understand this company. You want Final Fantasy XV? Too bad, here's a shitty mobile game instead!

It's the freaking Crazy Motorcycle game. Not only is it perfect for smartphones, but it's gonna be free. People should learn to stop complaining and start loving.

EDIT: Welp, I don't know where I read the free bit. My bad. Point stands tho >:/

@Liberty - Nah it's fine, could you tell me how you fixed it :D

As much as I'd love a remake, I'm with Darken. They would ruin it, either by having to incorporate elements from Crisis Core, Before Crisis & add in a connection for Advent Children & Dirge of Cerberus.

The whole Zack/Cloud story has changed completely with the addition of Genesis & all this flying around, chopping buildings, wings, super powered anime bullshit.

They would have to make that choice early on whether to ignore everything they've added since the original or change a lot to make everything fit in.

Also a remaster can't really be done. It's not like it's FFX where it was already in 3D & all that was needed was some new textures, etc.

Hanging yet another carrot before your dying fanbase's noses, eh SE?

Here's an idea: hire great designers and make a great new game kthnx

I feel like they should really get rid of Nomura as a director. The man can't seem to get anything done these days. And by anything I mean FFXV. It's been eight years since the first announcement. Eight years.
looks like a joke - but a rather amusing one : ) so, that's a point.
but, wouldn't it be kinda boring if yo can only race as cloud, and not as any of the other characters..? to mix it up a bit?
