Dialogue Systems - Final Fantasy 7 Remake (Unreal Engine).

Ai Prompt: Dialogue Systems - Final Fantasy 7 Remake (Unreal Engine).

Final Fantasy VII Remake’s dialogue system is a core part of its storytelling and gameplay, designed to blend cinematic cutscenes with interactive dialogue choices that affect character affinities and narrative cues.

For example, during conversations with party members like Aerith, Tifa, and Barret, players are offered multiple response options (often rated by an affinity or “star” system) that, while not altering the main storyline drastically, subtly influence how relationships and key cutscenes (such as those in the later chapters) play out.

Developers and modders interested in similar systems in Unreal Engine can find several tutorials and even open‐source plugins (such as the NotYetGames/DlgSystem available on GitHub) that show how to create dialogue systems using Blueprints. These resources demonstrate approaches ranging from simple data table–driven dialogue flows to more complex branching structures with conditions and events.

This is the link to their GItHUb I found during my research. I may keep this in mind for the future for if I decide to update my dialogue system slightly. Although their game used Unreal Engine 4 to make, while I am using Unreal Engine 5, it still may be useful to me.

In essence, Final Fantasy VII Remake’s dialogue system is a sophisticated hybrid of cinematic storytelling and interactive, choice-driven gameplay, all built on Unreal Engine’s flexible framework.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Is that. My kineema.”

COMPOSURE [Medium: Success] - Something in him is about to break, *big time*.

EMPATHY - And it’s not going to be pretty, do something!

- DRAMA [Formidable] - Everything is fine!

- “Sure is.”

DRAMA [Formidable: Failure] - Surely he’s aware that he’s not the *only* person in the world who owns a Kineema?

YOU - “Is it really *yours*? I mean, plenty of people have their own Kineemas, right? Like working men, government offices, uh, firefighters I guess, maybe even animal control people? Exactly! A million different people who could’ve driven it into the uh…”

DRAMA - Pause, my liege! Ixnay on the Ineemakay!

YOU - “It could even be our *mysterious* joyrider!”

KIM KITSURAGI - Your frenzied babbling falls deaf to the lieutenant's ears. Instead, he approaches the broken vehicle, sunken in the ice. He moves with a caution and gentleness you haven’t seen him display before.

INLAND EMPIRE - It must be cold and lonely down there, in the icy water. Maybe he could sense its sorrow, calling to him…

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Easy: Success] - His hands, which are always stiffly placed behind his back, are trembling.

ENDURANCE - This is the shuffle of a tired, tired man.

HALF LIGHT - He’s going to do something drastic because of you. Oh god, terrible! You’re a terrible liar! You can’t look at this, you just can’t!

VOLITION [Formidable: Success] - It's not *you* who drove his kineema into the sea. You have plenty of faults, but this one is decidedly not yours.

KIM KITSURAGI - He kneels down with his head bowed, casting his face in shadow. He plants a hand on the ice to stabilize himself, squinting to get a better view of the motor carriage. “Detective, it says ‘57’ on it.”

YOU - Sweat drips down your brow, and you feel a terrible headache coming. “Maybe our joyrider has an affinity for that number?”

LOGIC - He's not stupid, he knows that it's not that.

KIM KITSURAGI - “57.”

YOU - “What about 57?”, you brace yourself.

KIM KITSURAGI - “Precinct 57.”

YOU - You wince. “Kim, look-”

KIM KITSURAGI - “When I woke up in the Whirling-in-Rags with no memory of what happened during the days before, I've taken note that something of mine has gone missing.” He grits his teeth. "A very. Important. Something."

He runs his hands over his face, messing his already unkempt hair in the process. Regret creeps up on his features. “God. Fuck. They’re going to fire me over this, they’re not going to hear me out.”

EMPATHY - Desperation settles in the lieutenant's tone. Sadly, you find yourself in agreement, even if you don’t want it to be the truth.

YOU - “People are more valuable than machines, Kim.”

KIM KITSURAGI - “Not people like me.” He rasps.

YOU - “…”

KIM KITSURAGI - Before you can say anything more, you fail to notice the lieutenant carefully walking onto the edge of the ice. He looks over the frigid water, a dizzying blue that mirrors and distorts his exhausted face back to him.

YOU - “Kim?”

KIM KITSURAGI - Seconds pass as he looks to be contemplating something. Out of nowhere, he casually takes another step where the ice ends and the sea begins. It happens all too quick for the lieutenant to even voice a call for help— if he even wanted to — his body plunging into the cold water before your eyes.

YOU - “KIM!!!!”

uhhh bonus stuff? sorry i have swap au brainworms pfttt

(im not sure what skills kim has at the moment so rn he only has narration as his inner monologue ok whoops, i would like to keep harry as the guy who thinks in dialogue trees so im still figuring it out pfttt)

Will always adore this line between them if you don't fix Karlach's engine. It shows such and important growth in their relationship even though they still can't touch. Plus it's cute how much Astarion wants to be closer to his fiery girlfriend of his own choosing without them having ever touched.

But also damn Astarion you are NOT helping, my poor girl is frustrated enough😭

Would Tunner act if someone take Jevin from him?

(can you draw it...)

i imagine that regardless of what reason that person took jevin for, tunner won't hesitate to take action especially if jevin was expressing subtle discomfort.

though at most, i like to think tunner will just carry jevin and relocate somewhere else together. he'll just make firm warnings and only blast someone between their eyes as a last resort

he doesn't take that kindly :))

I know the discourse well is poisoned and no one hates bioware games more than bioware fans, but I am just 🫠 having so much fun with veilguard it's unreal. It is selfishly the dragon age game I always wanted. with less emphasis on cRPG, a more focused story, curated mission based design that spotlights the high fantasy stuff, slowburn structure with companions, significantly less sidequest bloat, and a fully real-time action-oriented combat system that isn't riddled with the growing pains of previous titles. when I first played origins I imagined something almost exactly like this as my ideal version of a sequel; and it was one of those dirty, selfish thoughts that I knew was disrespectful to the then-established DNA of the thing, but I can't help but feel giddy about having it here and now. like down to the shift away from the childishly dark tone and to something more inherently flexible with a baseline aspirational quality. I hate aesthetically depressing games so much. am I not alive right here and right now already

When I say "aesthetically" there though I do mean it. I'm fully on the opposite side when it comes to tone and positions expressed in the story itself. I am just not including that in my analysis because I am not done yet - so please no spoilers! I think I am where most people consider to be the second act, and I definitely have my gripes with the narrative framework and some of the optics, but I won't put the cart before the horse and will see how it wraps things up first. Above that level, in terms of how it presents itself, of how it plays, of how it balances its core pillars - it is such a bioware-ass game and I could not be any cozier in it. So grateful it exists

Tommy shaking his head at Abby for shacking it up with a "himbo half her age" is certainly a STATEMENT when he's literally with the same himbo (albeit unbeknownst to him), and presumably if he's ragging on Abby for dating younger than he must be around Abby's age, making him also someone shacking up with a "himbo" half their age.... Fucking WILD whoever wrote his dialogue actually hates him

A personal tangent

In 2014, when this shit started, when PiS came to power in Poland for the consecutive 8 years and Duda became president, it felt kinda shit to be in university and soon entering the work force.

But at least I had a comfort medium that had something semi-competent to say about coming from a shitty family, shitty community, shitty society and shitty country in a progressively shitty dystopian world, and offered a tiny light in the tunnel through a character who stayed motivated to fight.

Hello, Dorian Pavus, you absolute unit of reckless hope. I would sit in the kitchen and imagine Dorian and Maevaris beside me. If something like them came to pass, there would be a brighter future.

Now it's 2025, the world is going even worse, and sadly, I could not find similar comfort in the new Dragon Age, and on top of that the climate in the fandom made me question if I still belong. The setting won't let go of me and I'd love to develop it as a setting, some of the new lore is interesting, but boy, are the optics mangled through Veilguard's aversion to controversy.

One thing has not changed though: I felt 500% safer with random queer people on the Internet than I could have ever felt with my own countrymen so... happy Pride I guess?
