Grin and Barret
Square has revealed that the forthcoming remake of beloved PS1 roleplaying game Final Fantasy VII will be split into multiple, separate releases.
The developer finally gave eager fans a look at the remake this past weekend during the keynote at Son'y's Playstation Experience event. Comprised mostly of gameplay and in-engine cut-scenes, this brief, stunningly rendered snippet of footage suggested that Square was sparing no expense in bringing FFVII up to date for the current generation.
Sadly, it also means they can't squeeze the entire remake into one release.
"Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be told across a multi-part series, with each entry providing its own unique experience," the publisher said in a statement.
Apparently, releasing the game in chunks will allow Square to ensure every part of the game makes it from the PS1 to the PS4 intact. It also means they can add new scenarios, story elements and other content to the game.
The main culprit is the density and detail in the environments; remaking the game with this level of fidelity, says producer Yoshinori Kitase, would be impossible on just one disc.
