PlayStation Experience 2015: Final Fantasy VII Remake Conversation

During PSX 2015, FF7R producer Yoshinori Kitase spoke on the team’s approach to modernizing the game from the original Final Fantasy VII. 

“I can’t say the new game is completely action-based, but it has more of that element and real-time than the previous game,” said Kitase. “However, what makes Final Fantasy and RPG different from other games is that the players have the ability to choose weapons, capabilities and magic to be strategic minded, so while the new game has more real-time element, it will also maintain that strategy building element, balancing these two factors perfectly to enhance the gaming experience.“

He also went on to mention, “The way we harnessed the power of the PlayStation 4 was to maintain the graphic quality of characters like Cloud, Tifa, and Aerith in the movie called Advent Children in our game, and this was the starting point. So, what we’re aiming for with the Final Fantasy VII Remake is to have the same quality of these characters in real-time.”
