Final Fantasy VII Remake Is Being Made With The Same Spirit Of The Original, Series Creator Says
The Final Fantasy VII remake project is being developed with the same spirit as the original, and the Final Fantasy series creator believes the director Yoshinori Kitase's talent will lead to the best possible result.
Speaking during MAGIC (Monaco Anime Game International Conference) with Full Frontal, Final Fantasy series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi was asked about the remake, saying that director Yoshinori Kitase, who was also the director of the original, is doing the remake with the same spirit as when he made the original game, but with much better technology. As the series got better thanks to his talent, the series creator feels that Yoshinori Kitase is at his full potential now since modern technology allows for the development of games with movie-quality graphics.
Hironobu Sakaguchi was also asked about Final Fantasy XVI and its producer, mostly due to his well-known love of Final Fantasy XIV. The series creator praised Naoki Yoshida, saying that he is not only very serious and hardworking but also an excellent producer and director, with huge respect for older entries in the series and a great understanding of what makes them what they are. As such, he has great expectations for the game.
The Final Fantasy VII remake project is set to continue during Winter 2023 with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second entry in the trilogy. Much like the first part, the new game will feature story changes over the original, possibly even bigger than expected. Releasing only on current-generation hardware, the game will also take advantage of the increased power for much better visuals and faster load times.
