The producer of Final Fantasy 7 Rebicket assured that the story will not be too much different from the original
Despite some obvious changes in the script, the remake of the Final Fantasy 7 trilogy will not radically change the plot of the original game, at least according to the latest statements by Yoshinori Kitashe.
In an interview with Gamesradar, the producer once again confirmed that remakes will be associated with the animated film “Children of the Coming”, which will become a canon in the series, which could not happen if the plot were distorted.
“Ultimately, there will be a connection with the animated film“ Children of the Coming ”, which will become part of the canon,” Kitase said. “General history, the development of events will not be distorted in such a way that this connection is ultimately disappeared. I don’t think someone wants it, and this is not what we are trying to do.
But so that the story is not outdated and that people know exactly where it moves, and not just word for word follows the original, we added elements that instill doubt about the players. It is very important to find the right balance between these elements. Ultimately, we are not trying to turn the History of Final Fantasy 7 into something completely different. The general balance will not allow this anyway “.
In the same interview, Kitaseus also spoke about the role of Rebirth as the second part of the trilogy, comparing it with the film “Star Wars: the Empire is a return blow”.
“In the first part, the context, situation, characters and who they are,” the producer added. “The real role of the second part of the trilogy is to delve into these aspects and how the characters relate to each other, and this is where we concentrated”.
The statements of Kitaseus added statements by the director Hamaguti, who confirmed that the changes made to the plot of Final Fantasy 7 are absolutely necessary to keep those who played the original in suspense.
“If we do not add these changes, we will not raise the bar and do not make experience more and wider, people will think that they already know what will happen,” Hamaguti said. “I want to avoid this situation. We want people to continue to doubt. That is how we approached the transition from Remake to Rebirth, making more and more, wider and deeper. “.
