Sony's TGS 2019 stage Live stream Video link, September 14:

Do they really need to demo anything more?
SE is showing low polys FF 7 figures at TGS 2019, nice:
Nice and I see all the lines for the game's demo at TGS are completely full, as in hours of waiting for a quick demo.
Yep. Japan is excited for the game without needing SE's "please be excited" lol
Saw some official twitter tweets:
it was most certainly eye candy.
Tifa the eye candy lol
They posted more stuff:
Tifa
A member of the anti-Shinra organization AVALANCHE. She also runs the bar “7th Heaven” in the Sector 7 slums. Although she opposes the Shinra Company, she is not fully on board with the Mako Reactor Destruction Plan. While her feelings are mixed, she reunites with her childhood friend Cloud.
■ Battle System
Analyze the enemy’s weakness and action patterns, and choose magic and abilities. This is a highly strategic battle system that fuses intuitive action with a Final Fantasy-esque command battle system base. By consuming the “ATB Gauge,” which fills as time passes and based on character actions, you can use battle commands such as “Ability,” “Magic,” and “Item.”
Wait Mode
By opening the command menu during battle, you will enter “Wait Mode,” where time will slow and you will have the time to properly think about your strategy. From the command menu, you can select “Ability,” “Magic,” “Item,” and “Limit Skill.” Determine your enemy’s weakness and the battle situation, then choose your next action.
Shortcut
Commands can be registered to buttons as shortcuts, allowing you to use them without opening the command menu. By setting the skills that you use often, you can enjoy action game-like battles without interruption.
Burst
The gauge beneath the enemy’s HP gauge is the Burst gauge. It will increase as you attack, and when it is filled, the enemy will enter the Burst state. in this state, the enemy is unable to take action and take more damage than usual.
—Cloud’s “Burst Slash” ability allows him to easily fill up the Burst gauge.
Party Commands
While you can switch between the character you are controlling during battle with the d-pad, you can also open the party command menu with the L2 and R2 buttons to issue battle commands without changing characters.
Limit Break
Each time you take damage from enemies, the Limit gauge will increase, and once fully accumulated, you will be able to activate extremely powerful skills unique to each character.
—Tifa’s Limit Break: “Somersault.”
■ Materia
By equipping materia to weapons and armor, you can use abilities such as magic. There are various types of materia, ranging from magic materia to command materia, independent materia, summon materia, and more. Depending on the slot, the materia can be paired together, which can change the effect of the materia.
Magic Materia
—Lightning
Materia that lets you use lightning elemental magic such as “Thunder.” Materia will develop as you use it, allowing you to use even more powerful magic. Thunder evolves from “Thunder” to “Thundara” to “Thundaga.”
—Time
Materia that lets you use time magic such as “Haste” to increase the action speed of your party, “Slow” to slow down the action speed of enemies, or “Stop” to temporarily halt enemy movement. This magic bestows the target with a time-related state change.
Support Materia
—Elemental Materia
Materia than can attach the magic materia’s elements to weapons or armor. When attached to a weapon it adds its elemental attack, and for armor its elemental resistance.
The combination of the magic materia “Ice,” which enables the use of ice elemental magic such as “Blizzard,” and the support materia “Elemental Materia,” grants the weapon ice properties.
■ Summons
By equipping summon materia, you can call out summoned monsters after a dedicated Summon gauge fills during battle. Summoned monsters will fight automatically and will unleash a powerful special move before they return.
—Summons can be issued commands and activate unique abilities.
■ The World of Final Fantasy VII Remake
Locations from Final Fantasy VII have been faithfully recreated in high quality. Several locations that could not be explored in the original version have also been added.
Sector 7 Slums
The slums beneath the Sector 7 plate. A dim town where the sky is blocked off, its buildings are made out of the scraps produced during the construction of Midgar. From the “7th Heaven” bar to the “Beginner’s Hall” by its vigilante committee, the Sector 7 slums is home to a lively community.
7th Heaven
A bar in the Sector 7 slums. A place for laborers to relax every night. It is known for its famous cocktail the “Cosmo Canyon,” and the smiling face of its show girl Tifa. There is also a darts game where the men of the town compete for the high score. After closing, 7th Heaven becomes the base of operations for the anti-Shinra organization AVALANCHE.

Also I read some stuff on the original plans, wonder if they are going to put them in, in the remake now:
According to Final Fantasy VII Ultimania Omega, Cloud's rescue scene was originally planned to be even longer; after washing up on the shore of Mideel with Tifa, Cloud would have been unconscious and Tifa would have had to revive him with CPR. During this stage Cloud would have a vision of being experimented by Professor Hojo in Nibelheim, and of his escape with Zack. The scene was moved to be viewed in the Shinra Mansion Basement in the game's final version.
And this lol PLOT:
Under The highwind
"The original plans for Cloud and Tifa's moment under the Highwind were far more suggestive than the final product. Following a fade-out scene, Cloud was to walk out of the chocobo stable on board the Highwind, followed by Tifa who would check around as she left. This idea was rejected for being too "extreme", and a less risqué "toned down" version of the scene replaced it."
Kitase: Katou also did the event on the airship, the night before the final battle.
Nojima: Oh, the scene with the risqué line of dialogue? It was Katou who wrote that as well, not me.
Q: The line “Words aren’t the only way to talk someone how you feel,” right? That was quite a mature conversation for a FF game.
Kitase: But I remember having to get another version that was too intense toned down.
Nojima: The original idea was more extreme. The plan was to have Cloud walk out of the Chocobo stable on board the Highwind, followed by Tifa leaving while checking around, but Kitase turned it down. But even with the line in question, maybe at that time none of us thought it would be something so important (laughs).

I don't think Cloud would be up for inserting his sword in this game's storyline. Doesn't seem like it anyways.
and the official boxart:
Read Kotaku's Jason article on no 'Part 1" on the box. Do you think the 'Part 1" is needed on the cover/box?and the official boxart:
