We recommend to those who wish to discover Final Fantasy VII Remake in the most virgin way possible to avoid reading these lines.
The first owners of the book hastened to broadcast on the net some comments from producer Yoshinari Kitase and director Tetsuya Nomura concerning the end of the game which has generated a lot of discussion since its release, as well as on the big question of the number of opus that Square Enix will have to make to transcribe its story in this format.
If it is obviously not possible to discuss too openly the events of the end of the game, whether here or in the guide, Yoshinori Kitase reveals that it was the co-director Naoki Hamaguchi who insisted that this chapter Midgar ends up against this end boss on the highway, raising countless questions. "I can't say anything more since we haven't finished telling the story. The final scene showing a certain character still alive is one of the key moments in the mystery of this game.", adds Yoshinori Kitase.
"We don't radically change the story and we don't make it completely different from the original. Even if this is a remake, please assume that the history of FF7 will now continue as FF7 has always done", says yet Yoshinori Kitase, which could relieve (or disappoint) some, depending on the point of view where we stand.
Regarding further development, Yoshinori Kitase admits to having "a general idea"of the number of games needed to complete the remake of Final Fantasy VII, but"we haven't decided exactly yet"according to him."The most common theory seems to be that it will be a trilogy, but we are doing it one after the other.", he notes.
The remark of Tetsuya Nomura does not necessarily help to see more clearly, because according to him everything depends basically on the volume of the following episodes. "If we divide the story into bigger games it will take longer to do, while if we make smaller and more detailed games we will be able to develop the second game faster. Personally, I prefer the second solution", confides the director.
In a lighter area, fans can note for the record that the ages of some characters have been officially established for the first time. Be aware that Rufus, Tseng and Rude are 30 years old at the time of the events of the game, while the turbulent Reno is 28 years old. Another little piece of deepest lore essential, Andrea and Jules from the Wall Market (who call themselves Anyan and Jinan in Japanese) are brothers.
