In a recent interview with Final Fantasy XIII director Yoshinori Kitase, he explains the difficulty in recreating the masterpiece that is Final Fantasy VII on PlayStation 3.
“This issue is related to whether a Final Fantasy VII remake will happen or not,” Kitase told Ultimania Magazine, “It is very hard to make games on PlayStation 3 in the same style as the games in [the PSone] era had. Making graphics will take enormous time.”
In that same interview, Motomu Toriyama explained the lesser amount of towns in Final Fantasy XIII, also blaming the high-definition era.
“Yes, [a ‘non-stop’ story] is one of the reasons [of the game's linearity],” Toriyama said, “but more importantly, it is a result of considering high-definition graphics will be the mainstream. Considering the amount of work to make graphics that deserve high-definition, it is hard to make towns in the conventional style.”
Thanks, The Lost Gamer.
I say they need to take their time. As long as we get a FFVII remake, I’m cool with it.
Man what a Bunch of lazy devs SE has lost me as a HUGE fan this gen…RIP SQUARESOFT RIP
i would blame the DVD for lesser amount of towns and you SE
I would agree with you. Final Fantasy XIII has undergone alot of changes thanks to Microsoft.
I don’t want to even think about this but this time Square Enix might have made and error, a huge error.
SE: Boohoo, I actually have to do my job. :(
I love FF7 one of my Favorite games but to think the now square-enix is going to remake it i’d say wake up people this ain’t gonna happen……. and will never happen unfortunately
To be honest I’d rather have a decent and polished Remake than just one made to cash in. In that respect I can understand SE very much; altough surely creating the Remake is exactly what all fans (myself included) would like to see?
