Were currently brushing up the scene from the announcement trailer, Kitase says. We can now see the line of quality that were aiming for more clearly, but theres still a ways to go. The teams goal is to carry this effort through the projects multiple episode releases.
So how will they fill the gap while waiting for each episode? Kitase says they dont have any plans to do another Final Fantasy VII Compilation-type project for now. Because they cant release each volume in just a few months of each other, however, he says theyd like to think of a way to supplement the gaps to hold interest.
As for downloadable content, Kitase notes hed like to useFinal Fantasy XV as a reference. A live stream or a program to keep in touch with the users is something Id like to do, butFinal Fantasy VII Remake will be episodic, and if we want to have it go all the way to the end of the original version, then I believe well need to devote everything we got for it, so I have no idea what will happen for things such as filler development [between episodes] and other works.
Currently the base of the battle system has been solidified. Kitase confirms both Tetsuya Nomura and Mitsunori Takahashi, who worked on the Kingdom Hearts series andDissidia Final Fantasy series, are putting their best into it. Although he cant say much at the moment, he also stresses they wont be removing any parts of the original FFVII that were well received, such as the Materia system.
In closing, Kitase hopes to show progress made on Final Fantasy VII Remake sometime this year. He thinks it would be nice if they could have it playable or a trailer for it at an event. Famitsu also asked him about a possible Final Fantasy VI Remake, to which he replied: Right now, were working onFinal Fantasy VII
The staff within the company are also saying [theyd like to remake it] but its on reserve.
