Remaining Fantasy 7 Rebirth goals to retain the unique recreation’s zaniness with “a number of gimmicks thrown inside like a large toy field.”
In an interview with the Japanese web site Den Fami Nico, translated by Redditor glowinggoo, the sport’s builders make clear Remaining Fantasy’s identification, and extra pertinent to this recreation, Remaining Fantasy 7’s personal distinctive flavour. Director Naoki Hamaguchi stated that “placing in a ton of minigames and facet content material” is without doubt one of the recreation’s important targets, together with the epic fantasy shenanigans, in fact. “Leaving sufficient house to immerse your self in issues past the principle story permits you to take up the environment of the unique FF7,” he continued, “and it’s one of many targets of Rebirth.”
Producer Yoshinori Kitase in contrast the sport and the collection at giant to a “big toy field.” Kitase mentions that the old-school SNES and PlayStation 1 video games had a number of “zany” components, however these endearing quirks grew to become more durable to incorporate as {hardware} superior and “portrayals obtained extra life like.” That hopefully received’t be an issue with Rebirth, as Kitase says “We’re placing in gimmicks that felt like they belong within the previous days.” Remaining Fantasy 7’s spirit is balancing the playfulness with the “sense of actuality,” in accordance with Kitase.
Tetsuya Nomura’s reply harks again to the collection’ granddaddy, Hironobu Sakaguchi. Apparently, Sakaguchi as soon as had a saying that goes: “Remaining Fantasy is a collection with the whole lot and something.” When a developer had a random concept, the group would “attempt our greatest to place it into the sport.” That philosophy is one thing that Nomura says continues to be alive with Rebirth, which makes me very completely happy, personally.
Remaining Fantasy mini-games have at all times been nice enjoyable, stuffed with persona, from Remaining Fantasy 9’s deck-building card recreation to Remaining Fantasy 10’s underwater soccer and past. The shortage of mini-games (or normal wackiness) was a serious criticism of Remaining Fantasy 16, too, so I’m glad to see that Rebirth is displaying off extra persona.
That loveable spirit has been on present in current trailers. Cloud on a segway. 19 inches of Sephiroth. New Gold Saucer. Want I say extra? Remaining Fantasy 7 Rebirth involves PS5 on twenty ninth February, 2024.
