It seems like the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake will be changing things up even more, in regards to its combat formula.
In a recent interview with Official Playstation Magazine UK (via PSU), Tetsuya Nomura revealed that they’ll be bringing dramatic changes to Final Fantasy 7’s combat, but they are also striving to keep it recognizable to the fans.
From the interview:
We are bringing dramatic changes to the Final Fantasy VII Remake so we’re hoping that you’ll look forward to additional information that we’ll be able to release when the time comes. And of course, that being said we want to clarify: we’re not going to be changing it into a shooter or something like that. We are going to be bringing dramatic changes, but we want to make sure it’s still recognisable.
We still eagerly await the announcement of a release date, and will keep you posted.
