I don't care how standard the practice of microtransactions are, that sort of thing just cheapens nostalgia trips.

If they've honestly put a full game's worth of content in to it, then I won't complain about that at least. A fully fleshed-out Midgar could be awesome.
I don't think we'll get a 1:1 faithful recreation of it. One the one hand, showing some of that content with blocky sprites lets you get away with a lot more than hyper-detailed, high-poly models would. That, and Squeenix has been very trigger happy lately when it comes to censorship, partially I'm guessing because of Sony being such absolute shitebags about stuff.
I am hoping that they keep a lot of the oddball humour that was in 7 though, so fingers crossed.
For anyone interested, Tokyo Game Show is this weekend, and Square has said that there'll be new FF7 stuff at it like Shinra character reveals/designs.
Reportedly because of the ethics department complaining.
So even Japan is suffering through a rash of like departments with way too much power that stick their nose in everything? (Here in the states, it tends to be equity departments that are the problem.)

Watch them make weapon parts, or the best junctions, iap in the 8 remake.

Preordering stuff does get you extra summons that aren't in the base game, but they're also summons that were never in the original, so I feel like it's not as bad.
As long as it's extra stuff that wasn't in the original, I don't mind tbh.
I'm at the stage now where I feel like it's almost too good to be true. Like it's either going to be terrible in some way, or that it's all some elaborate hoax.

Damn that's awesome. Ifrit's design is amazing and I love the summons are, well, actual summons that fight alongside you rather then just powerful spells.
-Summons do have an "ultimate attack" but it's up to you to use it (Summons will have abilities that you consume with ATB uses). If you do, though, they leave the fight straight after.
-"Classic" Mode. The auto-attacking is done by AI, with your only interaction being using abilities when the ATB gauge is full. This is their way of replicating the turn-based combat of the original.
-Aerith/Aeris's standard attack is now a ranged magic bolt instead of physically hitting with her staff. A really welcome change imo, but I'm guessing it was necessitated by them changing the way combat works.
