The Final Fantasy VII Remake title has been teased for a really long time, but at last Square Enix has finished the first part of it now. In March 2020, this title will be officially released on the PlayStation 4 platform, and the trailer of the game has made fans of Final Fantasy game series around the world go crazy.
E3 2019 was also a chance for Square Enix to show off more about this remake title. During an interview at E3 2019, Yosuke Matsuda - president and CEO of Square Enix – has truthfully confessed that this Final Fantasy VII Remake project was way much harder than he thought at first (perhaps that is why the project takes so long for Square Enix to finish). Yosuke Matsuda said making a successful remaking title was even more difficult than making an original title.
This is true, considering what we have seen from the trailer of the game, as well as the new teasing pictures of this title from the game. Instead of keeping the original turn-based gameplay like the original title, the Final Fantasy VII remake will offer RPG gameplay, with much more combat and action, even hack and slash, than the original title in 1997. And the graphics features have been dramatically improved, just look at the design of Tifa Lockhart and Cloud. The graphics features have been improved so much that Square Enix has to make a lot of changes in the plot of the original title to fit with today standards (even the breast size of Tifa Lockhart has to be reduced)
With all of those changes, you can basically say that this is a new game now. But the fan of the original title still can find this remake title familiar. Square Enix has successfully kept the vibe of the original title, and bring it to the Final Fantasy VII remake. That also means we are going to see a lot of sad moments in the game once again, and they can be even much more touching and tearful than in the original title (partly because of the graphics improvement). Nevertheless, if the game is good, then the fans will welcome it (common, we are going to see Tifa Lockhart die in HD)
Hopefully that we now have a game that can entertain the old fans and the newcomers to the Final Fantasy game series.
