It is expected that the much-awaited "Final Fantasy VII Remake" will have some changes. The game producer Yoshinori Kitase teased that the upcoming remake may be more action-oriented.
Speaking with Game Informer, Kitase revealed that as early as now, Square Enix developers have already reached a consensus on the number of installments "Final Fantasy 7 Remake" will have, but the plans are still open to changes along the way.
The producer said, "We do have an idea on the project side in terms of how many installments it may consist of, but unfortunately, we can't share that at the moment. Of course, as we're creating and developing the scenario and the stories, these are things that move in real time. So, the plan may change along the way."
Kitase precisely pointed out that the development team has not yet decided to go into full-action. However, as director Tetsuya Nomura put it, "Final Fantasy" when it comes to action games is best represented by "Dissidia" in the contemporary landscape.
While the remake will not be action-based like "Dissidia," producer Kitase indicated that the visuals and the way the gameplay feels essentially would be drawn from the "Dissidia-esque" style. "Final Fantasy 7 Remake" is reportedly in development, although for now, there is no official release date announced yet.
In other reports, game analysts said that Square Enix released "Final Fantasy 13" in three episodes, and according to user Philippo via NeoGAF, the game developer company may as well go back and follow the same trend with the remake. Although avid fans of the upcoming remake should not expect to see big changes, each episode will be the size of a "Final Fantasy VII" game.
According to the same publication, Square Enix will not make any notable changes to the pattern for the upcoming remake since it will have a huge gameplay of more than 30 hours. Therefore, almost everything will be the same, although the company plans to keep the development cycle for the remake shorter than "Final Fantasy XV."
"Final Fantasy 7 Remake" will release exclusively for PS4. Watch the sneak peek below for details on the remake.
