"Final Fantasy VII Remake" fans were anxious since the announcement of the game, particularly with the idea that the game may be more action-oriented.
In an interview with Game Informer, game producer Yoshinori 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.
Kitase 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."
The producer added that the development team has not yet decided to go into full-action. However, as director Tetsuya Nomura out it, "Final Fantasy" when it comes to action games is best represented by "Dissidia" in the contemporary landscape.
Kitase added that while the remake will not be action-based like "Dissidia," 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 release window announced yet.
In other reports, it was revealed that Square Enix released "Final Fantasy 13" in three episodes, and according to user Philippo via NeoGAF, the game developer company will follow the same trend with the remake. Although there will be no big changes, each episode will be the size of a "Final Fantasy VII" game.
According to the source, the game developer 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. As a result, 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. Here is footage for more information.
