Entire chapters focus on what were previously side characters. Every character in Avalanche, Cloud’s team of mercenaries, now has an expanded backstory. “By narrowing down this episode to Midgar, we were able to make the story clearer, depict the city in even greater detail, and increase the depth of the acting for the characters.” If we were to remake the whole original game in one go, then we’d have to roughly trim each section down and make it a digest. Yoshinori Kitase, Producer of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE, explained why: “Being able to create an episode in Midgar in the sort of detail that modern gaming fans expect, was a great plus. Rather than completely remaking the whole game, the developers have focused all their attention on the opening city of Midgar, turning it into its own game for players to explore. This isn’t a remaster, but a complete reimagining of the original game from the ground up. Players will experience the sprawling city of Midgar as Cloud Strife and his team battle to stop Shinra corporation from draining the world of its energy. That’s next week!įINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE brings both the main release and the FF7R EPISODE INTERmission DLC together in one package. The classic RPG, that was rebuilt from the ground-up and released on the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation 5, will be arriving on the Epic Games Store on December 16. Considering how Square Enix has a bit of a dodgy success rate with remasters on non-Final Fantasy games, maybe a bit of outsourcing is the way to go on preserving its legacy titles.Square Enix just announced during The Game Awards that FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE is coming to the PC. It’ll have to shell out cash from its own pocket to develop these remakes, but it’ll pocket a cool 50% of the revenue afterwards. It’s not a Final Fantasy VII Remake-level project, but it’s one that could be potentially lucrative for the studio.
The Polish studio will use a “a new graphic design”, but the core gameplay of these titles will remain the same. Speaking of remakes, developer Forever Entertainment will be working with Square Enix on fresh updates of “several” titles based on a particular franchise that the publisher owns according to Biznes.
As for what Part 2 will focus on? Square Enix is naturally keeping its mouth sealed up tighter than a duck’s rear entrance, but f the first game was any indicator, Final Fantasy VII is ready to explore some wild new storylines and directions when it returns. We’re still in the very early days of the PS5, and the next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga will be developed with that console in mind, allowing it to further draw more of that system’s power out. However, in terms of using all of the features of PlayStation 5, please wait for the next game where we can start from scratch. “In terms of graphics, lighting and textures are the main adjustments, but environmental effects such as fog have also been added to further enhance the sense of realism and immersion in the world,” game director Tetsuya Nomura said to Famitsu via VGC’s translation.Īs for adaptive triggers, they are partially supported. You’ll have to wait until the next Remake chapter to see just how much of a visual slobber-knocker Final Fantasy can be when the dials have been turned up to 11.
