Final Fantasy VII Nomura Tetsuya Interview

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade

Press L2 to change to co-op mode with Sonon when the gauge is full

-There'll be new materia and summon in Yuffie's episode.

- No DLC planned currently. They didn't treat Yuffie's episode as DLC.

They're prioritizing the schedule until the remake is complete.

If we think DLC is important, it'll be after the main game is complete.

- In FFVII Remake sequel, Shinra's executives story when they were young will be told. 

The other chars story will have more depth and expanded than the original

- When Remake Intergrade has released, they will release the broadcast restriction. 

Sonon character design & concept

- Sonon was born and raised in Wutai and will join the Avalanche. We borrowed the motif from Asian appearance, army like attire and armor.

I proposed he'd use stick as weapon to match the balance with Yuffie. That's why he's wearing lightweight equipments to support his look and movement.

Originally he was designed as delicate slim pretty boy but we decided it'll be more fun to pair him with Yuffie than Cloud or Vincent so we can see a new side to the story.

The First Soldier

- Each player have playstyle similar to job that can be set(fist, sword, staff icon in the screenshot)

- Each style have special abilities, skills exclusive to that style.

There'll be advantages to using one style continuously(EXP?). Details about that will be revealed in the future.

- Closed Beta Test planned.

Ever Crisis

- Story is free to play.

- Weapons are from gacha mostly. 

- There'll be special weapons not in the original, they can be obtained as a set with original costume.

- More original stuffs planned.

Each chapter volume?How big is it compared to FFVII?

- 10 chapters if we compared it to original FFVII.

Escape from Midgar in chapter 3.

The other compilation chapter will be more or less the same volume.

In the screenshot we can see Aerith fighting against Guard Scorpion.

- There'll be special dungeon, battle aside from the main story.

The playeer can form the dream party against them.

Will there be original episode in Ever Crisis?

- Yes. First, we're preparing The First Soldier original episode for Ever Crisis.

First Soldier setting is set around 30 years before the original FFVII game. Of course we can expect the hero in younger days(Sephiroth?) will make an appearance.

BGM.

- Arrange ver. based on the original FFVII BGM
