By 'No new charachters' I do hope they are regarding this RE as a separate entity from the compilation. I felt it really messed with the game's symmetry to have Genesis show up with Sephiroth in the reactor in CC. It takes away from the extremely tight dynamic between Zack, Cloud, and Sephiroth, IMO. I think everything in the compilation so far, while not presented poorly by any means, does appear as fan-fiction, this is likely due to the fact that they accidentally created one of the most memorable games ever with the original haha. 
There's a typo in a poem by Nash that reads 'Brightness falls from the air' It was meant to say hair, but this typo cemented it as one of the great Elizabethan lines in Literature.
The original FF7 is kind of like that, it was a great game with a ridiculous marketing campaign, but the fact that it has stayed with us is a testament to the appropriate (and accidental) sensibility it managed to strike in us as players. The Remake, while I doubt it will capture that again, will nonetheless have better chances if they focus less on tying up loose ends with their spin offs and instead put their efforts into polishing all the rough edges the original contained, story and gameplay wise.
That's what I hope 'No New Charachters' means anyways haha

I'd be fine if the entire compilation died a slow painful death at the bottom of a cliff.
In flames.
With an extra dousing of gasoline, for good measure.

Just saw this comment of yours; thank you for making me laugh by calling Genesis gross.
I couldn't help it! Though I don't care a whole lot for his character, I actually like the Nibelheim Incident more because of his inclusion.
Anyway, not on topic, but hey.

Tetsuya Nomura apparently has something in PlayStation Magazine that mentions changing combat from the original game, though this looks like just a summary: http://www.gamesradar.com/ff7-final-fantasy-7-remake-combat-dramatic-changes-advent-children/
Anyone out there able to track down a copy of what's in the magazine itself?

I notice a lot the sites reporting/summarizing the interview have headlines that are kinda misleading to an extent.Tetsuya Nomura apparently has something in PlayStation Magazine that mentions changing combat from the original game, though this looks like just a summary: http://www.gamesradar.com/ff7-final-fantasy-7-remake-combat-dramatic-changes-advent-children/

“We’re starting to see the visual direction,” Kitase said of the remake. “On the other hand, we’re currently working out the battle system and such through trial-and-error.”
“Since there’s a possibility that the command battle system of the old days might not work today, we’re thinking hard about what kind of direction we can take it.
“Normally, when you do a remake, it becomes somewhere along the lines of a familiar action RPG, so we’re looking at how we can put out something like Final Fantasy VII while still surprising players.
“Please don’t ask about how far into development we are and such. (Laughs.)”
