The Story Is Being Saved
One of the goals of the team behind Final Fantasy VII Remake is to keep all of the fond memories fans have of the original in tact. That means hitting up the Golden Saucer Casino, dressing up to infiltrate the Honey Bee, watching your love get shanked, and more. Often times when a game is “remade”, there are some aspects of it that are cut out due to lack of time or because it didn’t fit the developer’s new vision for the remake. The fact that the FF VII Remake team is intent on delivering that same experience that fans fell in love with over 15 years ago is amazing, even if it does mean ruffling a few feathers when it comes to format and release.
This should definitely restore a bit of faith if you’re lacking any because it means they aren’t trying to cut any of the moments you may be fond of. Not only that, but they’re also adding in story content (whether it’s from other Final Fantasy VII products is unknown at the time). There are literally hundreds of hours of content in Final Fantasy VII, so this is great news indeed. If every moment is going to look just like that amazing gameplay reveal from PSX, then fans are in for a treat.
