Yoshinori Kitase, producer of the game, explained that the game will be much longer, but that it will remain consistent with the original script.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is only one month away from reaching the stores exclusively for PlayStation 4. The one that is one of the most anticipated video games of 2020 and a generation of consoles that already ends has reached the gold phase, so the die is cast. Yoshinori Kitase, producer of the game, has sent a message of calm to those who still have doubts if they played the original title: it will feel “fresh and unique”.
Speaking to Metro, Kitase has talked about the volume of content that we will find in this reimagining of the 1997 classic released on PlayStation. Part 1 (it is unknown how many parts there will be in total) will cover the entire Midgar act; whose duration ranges from the original title between 5 and 7 hours. This time we talk about a JRPG that wants to feel like “a complete and unique game”, and that could put at risk the balance and coherence between what is played and what is told.
Final Fantasy VII Remake
More depth in the relationships between the characters
Square Enix is convinced that they have done a job that will meet the expectations of fans, he says. "The story itself encompasses the Midgar getaway, it really comes close to what we could see in the original game," he begins. “Where we have applied the additions is in that other extra reality and depth around how the characters are shown,” he continues, and advances that they have placed more emphasis on the way in which the relationships between Cloud, Sefirot, Aeris develop, Tifa, Red XIII and company.
"So, even if it's a story you can already know, it will really feel like something new, fresh and unique to the people who played the original," he ends.
Final Fantasy VII Remake will be released worldwide in physical and digital format for PS4 on April 10, 2020. You can read our impressions after playing it for more than three hours here. In addition, a free demo with the first chapter is now available. The second part will begin its development this April.
