Final Fantasy 7 Remake, which was announced at Sony’s E3 2015 press conference on Monday, might not have the exact same story as the original it is based on, director Tetsuya Nomura told GameSpot.
“We’ve announced an HD port version on the PlayStation 4, and then we have the remake coming to PS4,” Nomura said through a translator. “You’ll have this extremely, very, very pretty FFVII existing on the same plane. We feel that if that happens, it’s like, why have the same exact game?”
“We think that if a game is on a certain platform and that platform becomes obsolete, then we’d recommend playing the new port version,” he added.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake was announced this week and received a trailer with a narrator describing would could be perceived as a double entendre for the game’s story, as well as a call-out to fans who have been waiting a long time for a return to a classic PlayStation 1 game.
“The reunion at hand may bring joy. It may bring fear,” the narrator says, “but let us embrace whatever it brings.”
Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be released on PS4 first at an undetermined date, before coming to other platforms at a later date.
