Final Fantasy VII Remake sequels will be “quite different from the original” in some scenes

The co-director of the game points out that they intend to adapt to the new times and modernize the approach of the RPG.

Final Fantasy VII Remake was released a year ago with the difficult challenge of living up to the 1997 original, considered one of the best video games in history. Above all because they have not limited themselves to making a version step by step, but because they have built a new universe, adding some scenes with a very own style. Motomu Toriyama , co-director of the game, has spoken about that and the future .

The creative indicates in an interview published by Square Enix that he is sure that the future parts of the game that are to come – they have never confirmed how many sequels there will be – will differ “significantly from the original.” This is because they want the game to be an example of how to update and change parts of the original and adapt it to the new times and the most modern public.

Square Enix plans to modernize some sequences from the 1997 gameThese statements come as a result of the famous and funny dance scene at the Honeybee Inn in Mercado Muro, where there is a quite original musical minigame with Cloud wearing different costumes as the protagonist . Toriyama, as we already told you, said that they had to cut that scene out of fear of censorship , but it was an iconic moment of the original and they had to include it and improve it.

“Given how famous cross-dressing was in the original Final Fantasy VII, we knew people would have high expectations for the remake,” says Toriyama. “We knew we had to do it in a way that lived up to those expectations , but we took modern sensibilities into consideration,” he says.

Although we still do not know when the sequel to FF7 Remake will arrive, what has just arrived is InterMISSION , an additional chapter starring Yuffie that comes along with the improvements of the game for PS5 .
