Final Fantasy VII Remake Game Director Discusses Sky High Expectations

Final Fantasy VII Remake Game Director Tetsuya Nomura talked about how Square Enix saw E3 2015 as the perfect timing to announce Final Fantasy VII Remake as they already had several titles already announced and planned for the PS4.

Can't wait to see this released.

[Abash]

Can't wait to see the success of the remake lead to the inevitable FFVII-2

[Mostafeto]

One good title will bring in its brother and so on till we have all the Final Fantasy games family haha

[b163o1]

What the hell is FF7 about

/S!

[_-EDMIX-_]

If anything we might get a remake of Crisis Core or even a game version of the film Advent Children.

L4D would be an excellent remaster for the PS4 being that it never made it to PS3, and Valve has stated last gen that they had something special for Sony. Mainly cause the way Sony opened up the PS3... Kudo and bubbles...

@GearsdoodooBruh

Actually, aside from Shenmue and FFVII, I'e seen way more cry for a comeback of Crash Bandicoot and Beyond Good and Evil than for all of those games (of course, excluding HL3 which top 'em all, but by now we all know we're just folling ourselves whith that).

[justlikeme]

We are gonna get trolled, the world will end the day before this releases.

[Magicite]

dozens of millions of gamers have put their expectations high on Nomura-san.

[DragonKnight]

I don't think "make 1997 FFVII with 2015 graphics" is high expectations.

[Muzikguy]

I don't have sky high expectations. These people (SE) have a habit of disappointing. I'm looking forward to this game, but the more I hear about it the more I question it. Just staying in media blackout

[RPGrinder]

I cannot wait to play this in 2020 at the earliest.

[remixx116]

Well you'll need a ps4 first......

[Mostafeto]

Hey dude I think by now most people have a PS4 or an Xbox One. I know a lot of people still play on their PS3 and like it and don't want to change but come on now, you should. The PS4 is a great gaming console to buy.

[Relientk77]

RPGgrinders lame troll attempts strike again lol

[Mostafeto]

I don't think we will wait this long bro.

[remixx116]

This guy is a troll, he's a Nintendo fanboy hence my comment.

[ApolloTheBoss]

Seeing as Wada was the main reason games took so long to get released, now that he's gone I don't think it'll take that long.

[GigawattConduit]

Don't be ridiculous. 2087 is more likely.

[Melankolis]

Even 2020 is too early if you keep hoping for a Wii U release...good luck waiting...

[grumpygamr]

Is that because your mommy won't let you play till you are 13?

[PaleMoonDeath]

It should pay off, given they do more than just a HD face lift of sorts, I wonder how this dramatic change of gameplay is going to work.. I could understand if they did FF15-ish gameplay, but the whole Advent Children thing.. ughh.

Just gotta wait and see :(

[kayoss]

This game will sale a lot on just nostalgia alone. People will buy this game because the Final fantasy 7 name is on it.

[Fullmetalevolust]

Yep, one of the most anticipated titles to be released from one of the most beloved franchises, and this was probably the first JRPG most western gamers ever played.
You gotta do right by it.

[Mostafeto]

Exactly so this game is such a delicate matter and Square Enix need to handle it like a piece of radiating Uranium.

[Officialxandr]

I'm glad Square knows what is at stake, just means they'll put in that extra (which I feel hasn't been put in a while) work in.

[ramza04]

I'm sure they are feeling the pressure developing a remake to this iconic game. The fear of alienating fans by making too many changes but at the same time appealing to the modern gaming market will be quite a challenge. I'm sure they'll find the right balance as to properly please everyone but I'm sure some of the changes will still upset longtime fans.

[FallenAngel1984]

This game is going to be quite a while before it releases. Final Fantasy X/X-2 Remastered and Final Fantasy Type-0 HD took 3 years to develop and release internationally, and those were just remasters where they had to cut corners in some areas just to meet the deadline. This Final Fantasy VII HD remake is being built entirely from the ground up where they won't have the leisure of cutting corners and will take an even larger investment of time and effort to complete.

[forgetmenot]

Nothing new to see here and no release for sometime just more of the squre-enix waiting game.7 is the new it girl im looking forward to 15

[MasterCornholio]

I can already tell that people are expecting alot from the remake. In some cases, in my opinion, a bit too much.

[ninsigma]

Really interested in how this is going to turn out. They've said they'll be changing the game play but to what extent we don't know. Could be real time in the vein of ff15 or a tweaked atb system. I'd like to see it go turn based but really I don't care all that much at the end of the day. They should do whatever combat suits the rest of the game. People have just gone into panic stations about this though and it's getting quite silly. The game will be what it'll be and we'll find that out closer to its release. What people who say it shouldn't change do need to realise is that this is a remake, not a remaster. Things are going to change. Nomura has said so himself, heck even the teaser alluded to as much.

[RPGrinder]

This is clearly an enhanced port for PS4/3DS

[Dan_scruggs]

Tetsuya Nomura hasn't completed a non handheld non remaster game since 2009. The more you know.

And that game was Final Fantasy XIII a game I know everyone loves.

[youndamie]

He did not do FF XIII, he only did the character design.

[Dan_scruggs]

He also didn't direct the original Final Fantasy 7 but no one seems to know that.

The last console game he directed that wasn't a remaster was Kingdom Hearts 2 in 2005.

Then again he was directing Final Fantasy versus 13. I mean Final Fantasy 15. I mean that game that has been in production for a decade that only exists as a demo and still has no release date.

[thebudgetgamer]

I want to buy this so bad, have never bought a collector edition but would so fast with this one. It all depends.

[CuddlyREDRUM]

Considering development just began this year and all they have is a CG trailer I wouldn't expect this for a few years. The game lead, the same for Kingdom Hearts 3, didn't even know he was on the project until this Spring.

[showtimefolks]

I know I am in the minority but I would like them to do real time combat like ff15. turned based is the only reason I never played these games. I believe if SE really want this series to reach a bigger audience Than time to bring the combat to next gen and that is doing everything in real time

maybe for this remake they can an option to switch between ff15 style combat or ff7 classic with improvements

[rataranian]

I wouldnt get too hyped yet. They already said theyre going to be changing things about it. =\
