“I think you might remember the connection system from Final Fantasy 8,” Kitase said. “The problem with this system is that the enemies level up based on the player’s level. Obviously you have to work with the connection system and how to customize it to overcome the challenges there. I think it’s a very difficult process that some people need to get into System. Depending on the skill of the player, sometimes they just don’t find the best approach.
“So I guess I want to go back to that and really redesign the combat system [Final Fantasy 8] And making it a much better balance of difficulty and approachability for some fans. So I think if I were to consider remaking it, that would be the most important thing to me. ”
Just like Kitase said about trying to remake Final Fantasy 6, Kitase also pointed out the time it would take to remake a game like Final Fantasy 7, saying: “I’ve found that trying to remake this amount of “Role-playing games at the time were really not something that could be easily accepted in the modern era. It’s a huge investment of time and effort, and we really have to think very carefully about whether to take on any type of project like this. ”
Final Fantasy 7 Reborn director Naoki Hamaguchi also joked that if Kitase said they should remake another Final Fantasy game and Kitase was involved in the project, he would “turn around and say ‘No!'”
