Nomura, on Final Fantasy VII: "I can't tell you the true meaning of the Remake yet"

The co-director talks about the future of the Final Fantasy VII Remake and summons us to ask him "in a few years".

Tetsuya Nomura, one of the directors of Final Fantasy VII Remake, has left statements that refer to some of the relevant changes that have been seen in the game, especially at the plot level and in the final stretch. In an interview collected in the official guide of the game published in Japan, the co-director has assured the following: "I cannot tell you the true meaning of the Remake, yet. Let's talk in a few years (laughs)". In this way, the unknowns that revolve around the end at the plot level of the game remain open, with important changes despite the fact that Kitase, producer of the game, asserts in the same guide that "we are not going to drastically change the story to turn it into something completely different".

Thanks to the translation of different users, other interesting details have been collected in the same guide. One of them is that they don't want to remove locations and scenes from the original that fans expect to see and remember that the game will not be completely different, that Final Fantasy 7 will follow in the remake. Kitase also relates that it is not realistic to expect the game to come out within a year if the current quality is to be maintained.

"A character that is alive will lead to a great mystery"

Another of the recurring questions is how many parts will the game have, something that even they do not know. What Nomura has indicated is that "we wanted the last battle to take place on the Midgar road, with questions that we cannot answer now. There is a character that is alive, and that will lead us to a great mystery." If you have played the game, you know who it is, so there are more open doors and questions to answer for the remake.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is exclusively available on Playstation 4 until April 10, 2021. The game received an 8.5 in Meristation and currently has an average of 88 in Metacritic with more than 100 reviews posted to date.
