Efter mange, mange års ventetid efterhånden ankommer Final Fantasy VII: Remake langt om længe i næste måned, og dermed bliver det endelig tid for fans (samt nye spillere) at opleve denne nyfortolkning af en af branchens absolutte klassikere. Men som bekendt er det ikke hele det originale spil der fortolkes her, for det bliver opdelt i flere separate kapitler, hvoraf dette er det første.
Det er Square Enix som bekendt blevet kritiseret lidt for, og nu forklarer produceren hvorfor de har gjort som de har gjort. I et interview Square Enix har foretaget med... ja, dem selv, forklarer producer Yoshinoro Kitase
"At the beginning of the project we had two directions we could go. The first was to make the project with the highest possible level of graphics, visual quality and detail, and not remove anything that fans wanted to see. Instead, it would expand upon the original game, to make it something even more immersive. The other option was to include the entire scope of the original game in a single release. But in order to make that work as a modern game, we wouldn't be able to go for the highest visual quality and we'd also have to cut back on areas and scenes from the original. Essentially, to make a single release viable the resulting game would have ended up being a digest of the original story, and we didn't think that fans would be pleased with that."
Det lader altså til at de traf et valg om at skrue op for ambitionsniveauet, og så partitionere spillet op i flere dele. Hvad synes du om det?
