Highly doubt that's the case. Gackt is holding nothing hostage. If they cannot use his likeness anymore, they could very simply redesign Genesis and that's it. It's not like Genesis himself looks much different from other Final Fantasy prettyboys.

Looking forward to hearing some familar tunes with a fresh coat of paint. Especially the GOAT FF7 tune (IMO. captures the feel of the final dungeon awesomely)

Apparently the scenario for part 1 is finished.
Funny, I'm sure parts 1 to n have been finished for almost 20 years now.
I know. I know.
Now it's up to where Versus XIII was in 2008.

I wish I was the interviewer. First question I would've asked is: "Be honest, Nomura-san. The biggest reason this game isn't turn based is because you want it to carry the torch for FF 15 Versus, huh? I'm not even mad. Just asking." XP

Kagari's site has a brief write-up.
http://www.novacrystallis.com/2015/12/final-fantasy-vii-remake-part-1-scenario-writing-is-complete/
The issue contains a 8 page spread and interviews with Nomura, Kitase and also Nojima.
This should be good.

Mosey, obviously. Since its inclusion is more of a localisation choice than anything else, the amount of staff involved in that decision would be small enough to abduct and threaten in advance, as opposed to larger directorial decisions like including Genesis.

!?!?!?!?! Wait, wait!!! Are you... Maximilian Dood?!?! The YouTube Star?!?!
It's going to be very interesting. And the remake will almost certainly need new music written for it (to cover anything added to the game and underscoring for cutscenes).

"The Legendary Becomes Real"
help me understand

please understand

OH MY GOD RIGHT!? What does that mean? Its such a weird sentence, hell, I'd go as far to say its not a proper sentence. It should be The Legend Becomes Real, not Legendary.
They're still using the original translators
Weird that they forgot to mention the crisis core ending that recreated the opening scene in CG
Especially since they did note CC's opening
Still the best cloud, not this methface prompto reject we are getting
Lovely to see the little touches (like Jessie's kick), that I don't even remember, get carried over
Um... they're just using an adjective as a noun, which is acceptable. "The legendary" is the noun of the sentence. The English, the rich, the poor, the sick, the accused, the injured, etc, for example. As long as "the" precedes it adjectives can be used this way.
I don't think "the legendary" is even that uncommon. It's more proper than "The legend becomes real" imo because there is no legend and it's certainly not becoming real, whereas the meaning of "The legendary becomes real" is that the remake worthy of legend is becoming real, since the legendary refers to the remake and the years of desire for it.

English doesn't follow its own rules. Nouns are adjectives, adjectives are nouns and so on. Any adjective can be a noun. The speaker chooses simply by adding "A" or "the" in front.
Native speakers take it for granted but it's crap hard for native speakers of the strict, easy grammar of Nihongo.
"Bring us your tired, your poor, your legendary."
"They are the legendary' or 'They are the legendary ones'
... just depends on what the writer thinks sounds cooler.
Yuck. Grammar is boring. Carry on. Back to buster swords.

According to CC, the reason why he looks sick at the beginning of FF7 is explained in the game
It's explained in FF7 itself in an optional cutscene.
So then why the hate about his look? Its apart of the plot

What was Legendary, becomes real.

I watched cutscenes of Dirge of Cerberus on youtube involving the FFVII cast and it somehow made me slightly less excited for this game. Hopefully the voice work and dialogue is a lot better... lol
It's not how the majority of people imagine him, so it caught a lot of people off guard.
I still hope we see a progressive change, personally, but I'm not gonna harp on it.
Speaking of Buster Swords, I love the new design of it for the remake. Taking the original gaurd but keeping the AC version's engravings on the blade looks so damn cool.
It almost seems like Cloud bolted the gaurd over the original one.
Thanks to Mognet's Rin:

Summary of information from the latest Kitase & Nomura interview from Famitsu (12/31 weekly edition):
- Nomura says he didn't know when he'd appear on the PSX stage until the day of the event, after he'd entered Moscone (name of the center in San Francisco where PSX was held).
- Right about when the 7R project was gearing up, it was Hashimoto who said that he wanted the remake to have AC-level visuals. Since Nomura is AC's director, the decision to have him direct 7R was a natural one.
- Nomura knows that we (the fans) are worried about the remake project's schedule, and he says that they (Square Enix) also want to play it ASAP. This is one of the contributing factors to their decision to split the game into several parts.
- Some parts in the Compilation that have been difficult to understand will be connected better in the Remake.
- Nojima was impressed by voiced Biggs, Jessica, and Wedge, and he sent a message to Nomura saying, "I want them to talk more!"
- Part of the escape after the Bombing Mission will serve as a tutorial for the game.
- Nomura says that he and Kitase are not able to discuss online components of the VII Remake at this time. They have to focus on the game first.
- Nojima has finished the main scenario of the first part of the remake. All the team have left to do is add side stuff and flesh out side characters such as Jessica, Wedge, and Biggs.
- Kitase: "I hope to resume voice recording in January. Is that all right with you?" Nomura: "Are we even allowed to say that here? (laugh)"
- Real ≠ Photoreal "Real" is an important keyword for 7R, but Nomura says this does not mean photorealism. The "real" comes from maintaining integrity and unity of the world.
- CC2 may have put together the latest PV. Nomura complained about CC2's difference in directing taste, and so they changed the trailer's style to fit more of SE's.
- The Osaka KH team are in what seems to be frequent contact with the VIIR team back in Tokyo. Specifically, the KH team relay to the VII team about what successes they've had with UE4.
- Nomura says the Shinra soldiers will not reappear in future promotion because they have yet to be refined. Compared to Barret, their design is still very rough, and Nomura says that the soldiers need to be detailed or else they won't appear real.
- Nomura mentions that grains of asphalt looked too big when compared to the size of the characters. He admits that he spent forever getting them to look finer. Kitase also says they're working hard to make the roads look good.
- Nomura says the quality we've seen in the PV will only get better. This is not representative of the final product.
- VII's famous opening, where the camera zooms in all across Midgar, etc., will probably be changed in the remake.
- The remake will have more scenes of people actually living in Midgar.
- The Guard command is being investigated, but the option to dodge is still available.
- Kitase says that VIIR's "ATB" is different, and while they still call it that, its formal name will likely change.
- Another system that is not yet shown involves your party. It is different from party cooperation, though.
To end, here's part of Nojima's message to VII fans:
"This enormous train, FFVII, will take a bit longer to reach your station. Please use this time to prepare yourselves for the journey and battles ahead."

^Thanks for sharing.
I'm incredibly excited for the game, but I'm also concerned if they're paying just a tad much attention to graphical quality. I can't speak for everyone, but the road could look more pretty or less pretty, I don't give a damn. Focus more on the gameplay, not visuals.
I'm also one of those who much rather have one completed game in one disc even if it takes 2 or 3 or 4 years longer than splitting up the game into multiple parts for faster release.

Glad to see all that information in the article, thanks for posting.
Very glad to see that they are connecting and streamlining a lot of the compilation stuff to make it fit much more smoothly to the remake, i always wanted the universe to be more consistent in tone, and this seems to be them addressing that in part

Guys... the original is like 10 seconds. How could it not be changed?
If you put that in the modern game, it would feel far too brief for the spectacle at hand.
They need a new opening with far far more meat to it. I personally hope it includes elements from the zoom out/zoom in original, but it should be massively expanded.

We're talking about everything before Cloud's appearance, yar? That's basically just an establishing shot and a title; of course it'd be brief. Even then, it still actually lasted 2 minutes.
For comparison, the intro to Final Fantasy XIII (the establishing shot of the sky panning to the train, the narration and the title) lasted even shorter with just over 1 minute before Lightning appeared.
