Nomura talks Final Fantasy VII Remake in Dengeki PlayStation
- Thread starter Exentryk
- Start date
What?I don't understand the answer.
EDIT: Ah, now, I think. So, he's saying they're not planning to make it open-world? I never expected that anyway.
well as i understand it, i'm not expecting this
but i serioously hope, that when we get the highwing we'll be able to have proper control over it to explore the world, and in some cases i have similar feelings about the submarine stuff
i also fully expect to be able to see stuff like the ultima weapon flying through the skyes, emerald weapon in the sea while on the submarine, or that awesome sequence of diamond weapon coming out of the sea and slowly walking to midgar while you're on the highwind
Jenova (on the boat) is a perfect final boss for part 1. Diamond Weapon could also serve as a great final boss for part 2 if they flesh out that section a bit. They could also potentially make the rest of the weapons story bosses. That'd be a lot of content for part 3.
I wonder how they're going to handle underwater battles...

If the first episode ends at Kalm will this guy be the final boss?
That is diabolical
what?
You realize this is beyond his control, right?

Name a worse section then, if you're not going to bother with an actual response.
Holy shit!
You have singlehandedly made this thread gold. I haven't kek'd like that in a while. I love it dude

The entire chasing the huge materia section of the game was kind of dragged along the story.
tbh, I felt like the entire game got worse and worse after Disc 1. Really thought the Weapons were lame and felt like it was jumping the gun.

As of right now, this is how I'm feeling. I just hope it's not like XV, from what I played it's not fun.
There is no bad section.
After years of "we are just waiting for _____ to talk about my game! this time for realsies!!"

Yeah they really need to push him to some symbolic position or retire him. Just get him away from this game, lest it comes out on PS5.

And I disagree, clearly.
So he has zero control on how the game he's directing is communicated to the public
I feel like with some of the things that have been said in interviews Midgar could really be part 1 - I'd be slightly disappointed if that was the case but I'm also excited to actually see more of Midgar. You spend very little time in the residential areas of the upper plate in the OG, for example. There's a lot they could do with it.
Since part of the decision to split the game up was to not have to cut too much story, I'm optimistic that we'll get out of Midgar in part 1. I'd like to at least get to Junon if that's the case. The problem is that in the OG in terms of narrative the beginning in Midgar is a massive chunk of the game - more than people tend to realise because of the amount of time spent doing stuff unrelated to the main story after Midgar.
I feel like no matter what way you cut it if they follow the same narrative as the original we won't be seeing Cait Sith, Cid and Vincent until part 2. I've seen the "split by disc" argument but that doesn't quite work when in terms of story Disc 1 is at least half (if not more) of the overall arc and you're introduced to almost every environment already (sans Icicle Inn, Gaea's Cliffs, Mideel, Northern Crater, Return to Midgar, Underwater Reactor and a couple of tiny caves).

Maybe we'll need that thread after all, jesus christ.
really dont know what you guys wanted him to say on an interview about WoFF and SE doesnt want anyone to talk about it yet
you all know when they show anything substantial you're all gonna get all hype over it and start praising lord nomura
and subsequently start making assumptions about the simplest or tiniest things just because
the decision to make it in parts was to not cut anything at all

Create an action system even traditional fans can enjoy? But traditional fans want ATB.
Uhhh...I can't stand Nomura.
Uhhh...I can't stand Nomura.
I just love this game too much
For me even the parts that others probably would call filler do have their place and are what makes the game special. But I'm curious, what do you not like in particular about Midgar?
What?

Sounds more like a non-answer like everything about the combat.
Kitase says it isn't.
Thankfully it isn't.

Thank Jesus.
That's correct. It's up to PR and marketing who work on set schedules. When something changes in said schedule... it's often you see other things moved around because of it.

Everything tbh. I get that there needs to be world-building, but FF7 in particular is so slow at doing it, at least with Midgar. The game doesn't really get going for me until you leave. It's not as bad as KH2 though, which requires me to make a separate save for the end of Roxas' segment.I just love this game too much
But I'm curious, what do you not like in particular about Midgar?
Because the previous game was...oh wait.

Small miracles.
So parts of it can come out sooner.
So they can make more money.

Square also said World of Final Fantasy will be "100 hours".
I'm pretty sure time passes differently at their offices.

Here's the thing: If they are rebuilding the "world" of FF7 to a modern AAA standard, wouldn't it be a waste to have the same minimal level of interactivity with it, as found in the Playstation original?
FF7 is a huge game, but its one where a very large proportion of it is just a bunch of pre-rendered facades that you basically run across. Going from that, to a fully modelled 3D version is no small thing!
Honestly some people really need to wrap their heads around the magnitude of the amount of work required for this sort of transition. Trying to do this in a single game would inevitably involve massive scoping down to keep the budget realistic.
Even in its day PS1 FF7 had to cut a lot of corners in order to accommodate the sheer volume of stuff in it; meaning that the quality of the presentation varied drastically over the course of the game - something that you can't really get away with anymore as the audience is so critical.

What about Kitase's comments then? What is he talking about if not the volume and scale of the FFXIII games, which were around ~50 hours each? Or maybe he's referring to the FFXIII-saga's release structure, where there were 2 years between each title? Not sure.

Not really, no.
XIII-2 and LR are not 50 hour games lol.
It needs to be a suitable length to justify charging $60 per entry, otherwise they'll get more criticism for splitting them up. I would hope each one would be at least 30-40.
I think they were for me. I tend to be a slow player though.

Man something about Kitase makes me kinda sad these days. He just seems so robotic and without passion, like any sense of excitement has long been removed from him. It's hard to remember he was the man behind some of (most of) Square's best titles ever.
