Remake Interviews: Catch-all Thread

[The Twilight Mexican]

Popping in as (hopefully) a fellow recognized voice of reason, but I also thought the implication of the "a lot of stuff riding on this" comment was related to other projects -- at least future projects, even if not current ones.

Probably best just to acknowledge bad delivery here, hian, if you meant something else. We're crossing into aneurysm territory where italics and bold lose all meaning. =P

I'm not sure what the fuck they've been thinking to call it "This Year" when there's barely 4 months left.

I believe that is because said excerpts are just from a French interview that took place at the Monaco Anime Game International Conferences (MAGIC) back in February. It just recently got translated into English. It's basically old news being repackaged as new information.

*reads interview*

That's a lot of words for "Please be excited". Did Shinji Hashimoto lose his touch?!

This gave me PTSD flashbacks of the Final Fantasy’s 30th Anniversary / Final Fantasy VII’s 20th Anniversary event.

Here's to hoping they give us an update at the TGS next month.

Not much info, but it does mention fans' expectations for the crossdressing scene, and their intent to exceed those expectations.

Also, wanting to replicate the awe we felt jumping from 2D sprites to FFVII's 3D.

It also apparently said (according to this Twitter user): "Final Fantasy VII Remake will introduce the latest technology that will surpass FFXV, says Yoshinori Kitase."

 

[Lulcielid]

For a game not coming out for another few years I would fuckin hope it surpasses a 2016 games tech, like how every high budget FF has been doing.

I was looking for that bit in the article but didn't see it. :/

 

[ChipNoir]

My hype engine is rumbling...

 

[Unit-01]

Hmm, it be nice to see something in the next 3 1/2 months left of this year.

Cheeky teasing at things from Nomura: https://www.dualshockers.com/final-fantasy-7-kingdom-hearts-3-tetsuya-nomura-tease/

That article is plumbing old news.

2 months until PlayStation Experience. BRACE YOURSELVES.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

"Nomura teases at something"? Wait one second while I file this with "dog shits in yard."

There was something going around on twitter that he was annoyed that SE wouldn't let him show anything, but the source didn't seem that credible.

Tabata:

GameRevolution: Would you take over the Final Fantasy VII Remake if [Square Enix] offered that one to you?

Tabata: No.

GR: No, you wouldn't!?

Tabata: No I wouldn't.

GR: Can I ask why?

Tabata: It's something I couldn't make, myself. That's about it.

GR: Would that be a lot of pressure?

Tabata: Final Fantasy VII is a special game.

GR: It's the big one.

Tabata: It's such a special numbered game that I don't think I can remake that one. There's so many fans out there, if I were asked to satisfy all those fans, I don't think that's something I could do, 100%. If [Square Enix] asked me to make a new Final Fantasy and take it in a new direction, I'd be happy to accept that one, but if they asked me to remake Final Fantasy VII — to release as if it were a modern game, just released today -- no, I don't think that's something I can do. I think the only people who could do that are Mr. (Yoshinori) Kitase and Mr. (Tetsuya) Nomura.

GR: And you say that even though you did such a good job with Crisis Core?

Tabata: Well that wasn't VII itself.

GR: A spinoff... a prequel.

Tabata: Yeah, it wasn't the main game. Now, if they asked me to do Final Fantasy VII-2, that might be different.

GR: Which brings us back to your new project!

*Laughter in the room*

Tabata: We haven't got that planned!

Cites the same Famitsu interview, I think, but implies an announcement at Paris Games Week. We'll see

 

[EriCkloud]

No Final Fantasy 7 remake at Paris Games Week..

 

[Cthulhu]

FFVII Remake is dead, RIP in peace.

 

[Ryuman]

Well, guys. There's always [INSERT NEXT MAJOR EVENT HERE].

 

[cold_spirit]

Someday, when the entirety of the Remake project is completed, we'll look back on these posts and laugh...
