Final Fantasy 7 is a large, troublesome game to remake – which is why Square Enix is spreading the unique epic story out throughout a number of ‘full size’ releases.
The first a part of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, out subsequent month and previewed in excruciating detail on VG247 today, tells the basic game’s story up till the purpose that the heroes go away the enduring metropolis of Midgar. The metropolis of Midgar has been vastly expanded as a way to assist the adventures of a full game – sections of the unique FF7 which may’ve taken ten minutes within the unique are actually wealthy with element and would possibly take 4 or 5 instances as lengthy, such is the growth. One a part of the Midgar chapter received’t be making this game, nevertheless: social gathering member Red XIII.
Red XIII will probably be within the game, after all, and was previously revealed in a trailer. But when Red XIII enters the story, it received’t be as a playable member of Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s solid – as an alternative, he’ll combat alongside you as an AI-controlled visitor character.
“We felt the point at which Red XIII joins the party in the story is very late on so we thought okay, if we’re gonna have him as a full character and try and get the player to enjoy his character development arc and growth as a character through that, it’s not really enough time to do that,” Final Fantasy 7 Remake co-director Naoki Hamaguchi instructed VG247 as part of a wider FF7 Remake interview.
“We thought that the best way to have him involved was as a guest character. Normally throughout the game you’ll be playing as a three-man party, but you will have him as a guest character that fights alongside you during the the last part of the story,” Hamaguchi elaborated. “He’ll be using all of his old really nostalgic moves, and you’ll see that. We felt that was the best way of showing him off as a character and who he is. That’s why we felt that was the best way to include him.”
That makes Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s precise playable solid 4: expert swordsman Cloud Strife, aggressive gunner Barret Wallace, martial arts celebrity Tifa Lockhart, and pure-hearted mage Aerith Gainsborough. We’ve now performed as all 4, and every has their very own distinctive play type and moveset – although as Cloud is the primary character, participant management all the time switches again to Cloud as quickly as fight is over.
While Red XIII being a visitor character is a brand new change for Final Fantasy 7 Remake, visitor characters are a staple Final Fantasy collection custom. Most lately Final Fantasy 15 featured a trio of rotating visitor social gathering members throughout its story in Cor, Iris, and Aranea. They all had distinctive methods and particular strikes of their very personal, in order that they have been strong characters in their very own proper – however the participant couldn’t management them immediately. Aranea was finally made playable in DLC
After a delay that pushed it out of this month, the primary a part of Final Fantasy 7 Remake lastly releases on April 10. Not lengthy to go now!
