It's likely going to be open world with much similarities to Elden Ring because it already shared some similar design with the original. Just my personal speculation but I think Deep Down became part of this project at some point. With the Resident Evil engine now and surely Capcom willing to commit more resources to it, sky is the limit for the design.

Dark Arisen really improved on the base game and added some nice challenge to it. I liked the combat in the game outside the sponge enemies which I hate in every game.

It kinda felt like a different game at night due to the limited field of view. The night cycles added an extra layer of danger to the world when you explore.

Loved clawing the eyeballs out on Cyclops. It had a lot of very unique design like this and the bigger enemies felt like wacking on Monster Hunter bosses. If you were tall and burly you lost endurance faster, if you fat you could anchor yourself in that wind valley area, small skinny characters were agile but weaker physically. The size of your character impacts the game for example. It's one of the few games where I've seen a CC that's not just cosmetic it has direct gameplay implications. The game didn't even have a small subset of Itsuno's ideas and it was on a limited budget. Levels will always make for sponge enemies.ДD had some really nice design ahead of its time where even Elden Ring has some similar design to it. Hell, you can even do this in the Souls games. That's kinda the point to the genre.build up so you can feel like a god. That's how they tend to go you get sponge enemies until you build a character up enough to one shot things. I have plenty to look forward to in FF with FFXIV's future updates, Crisis Core Reunion, and FFXVI.Д¬lick to expand.Welcome to the RPG genre where attributes govern and player progression is important. If Rebirth turns out to be great it will be a pleasant surprise. I waited on DD2 for almost a decade so the choice is pretty clear for me and Capcom hasn't made a disappointing game for me in quite awhile. Rebirth is going in a direction I don't like pretty simple really. I'm way more interested in FFXVI and Crisis Core Reunion. Also, a proper classic mode would be nice. Characters/Stories I have zero expectations knowing Nomura magic is behind it. If they don't tinker with the combat too much I'll like it but it can use some tweaks like the summon system. The sooner he's shown the door at SE finally the healthier the company will be.ДD2 by a mile. I don't know what goes on in Nomura's head but he has a habit of ruining IPs with his nonsensical thought process. I liked FFVIIR a lot but I got terrified by the end and that reveal just solidified my worry. Removing everything you loved about it? No. The soul of the original should not be touched. SE has more to owe to Yoshi's position than Nomura since he's the reason they draw majority profits and I think it bothers Nomura. I get that remakes probably shouldn't be identical to the original but he has went out of his way to completely butcher everything the original established and I think he's doing this as an ego trip so he can claim it's 'Nomura's FFVII' as there's other directors at the company who jostle his position like Yoshi who's a far more successful FF director. Definitely not Rebirth after seeing how Nomura wants to retcon everything from the original.
