Final Fantasy VII Remake Will 'Expand the Original Story'

11th December, 0 replies

Following the news the Final Fantasy VII Remake will be episodic, producer Yoshinori Kitase has revealed that the remake will expand the story of the original game.

"For many years, people around the world have asked me 'Will you ever remake Final Fantasy VII?,'" said Kitase. "For many years I gave the same answers and on a personal level, having made the original Final Fantasy VII, did I really want to spend so many years making the same game again?"

"With Final Fantasy VII Remake, we have the opportunity to go beyond the story, world and experience of Final Fantasy VII in ways we’ve always dreamed of - from the depths of Midgar to the skies above the Planet. The multi-part format enables us to expand the original story and turn it into an epic experience for fans and new gamers alike."

Square Enix was excited to surprise everyone at the PlayStation Experience event last weekend with the first gameplay footage for the game, demonstrating that the game was much further along in development than many people had expected.

"We’ve seen everyone’s comments and reactions to the news that Final Fantasy VII Remake will be a multi-part series and many have speculated correctly as to the reason why we have made this decision," added Kitase. "If we were to try to fit everything from the original into one remake instalment, we would have to cut various parts and create a condensed version of Final Fantasy VII. We knew none of you would have wanted that."

"I hope that by explaining a little more about our design decisions that you can appreciate the size of this project and what we have planned for this remake. Going beyond the scale and depth of the world, narrative and gameplay from the original to deliver something that feels familiar yet new. As I said before, we like delivering surprises."
