✭ Final Fantasy VII Remake ~ RETRASADO ~ 10 de Abril

Final Fantasy VII Remake Details, Original Launches Today on PS4

The reunion at hand may bring joy, it may bring fear, but let us embrace whatever it brings.

At PlayStation Experience 2015, we unveiled the very first gameplay teaser of Final Fantasy VII Remake.

They are coming back to Midgar… It’s still early days but we want to show you a glimpse of how the game looks and perhaps more importantly for you guys — how it plays.



There’s a lot of familiar scenes which I’m sure fans of the original Final Fantasy VII will recognize. You see the famous train from the Sector 7 slums, the Sector 1 Mako Reactor, and some of the streets of Midgar, so you get a feel for how you move around throughout Gaia. And how awesome does the Guard Scorpion look now?!



So gameplay is probably what you really wanted to know about since the game’s announcement. The new trailer gave you a glimpse into how Final Fantasy VII Remake will play and you’re probably thinking that it has changed quite a bit. It definitely looks more action oriented and has a real feeling of speed. There’s a lot going on in the trailer so hopefully you managed to pick out all of the details.

I should point out that all of the footage shown of Final Fantasy VII Remake is work in progress footage so the final game may look slightly different to what you saw. Oh, and I’m sure you recognize it but the music featured in the trailer is the “Opening — Bombing Mission” from Distant Worlds: music from Final Fantasy.

Final Fantasy VII is a very special game to me and I’m sure it is to a lot of gamers around the world, too. The reaction from fans across the globe when Final Fantasy VII Remake was announced at the PlayStation press conference at E3 2015 was unprecedented! I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like it, so I hope you like what you see in the new trailer. I know I do and I can’t wait to see more.



One other thing that was announced at PlayStation Experience 2015 is that the original version of Final Fantasy VII is available today on PS4 via PlayStation Store! It comes complete with a list of Trophies to earn.



Everyone who purchases the game will also receive a static custom Theme, featuring Cloud and the cityscape of Midgar from Final Fantasy VII Remake. I know which game I’ll be playing over the holidays! Let’s see if I can earn the Platinum Trophy before the end of the year!

“Será una serie dividida en varias partes”

La nota de prensa emitida por Square Enix en referencia a Final Fantasy VII Remake nos ha dejado una información sorprendente sobre el título de carácter JRPG que retoma una de las entregas más queridas de la serie.

“Final Fantasy VII Remake será contado a través de una serie dividida en varias partes, y cada una de ellas ofrecerá su experiencia única”, puede leerse en el comunicado. Sobre qué significa esto hay distintas lecturas, e internet se está llenando de rumores a falta de una confirmación oficial. Obviamente hay quien especula con el hecho de que podría tratarse de un juego dividido en episodios, pero también hay otros que piensan que podría ser una segmentación jugable dentro del propio juego.

El productor habla sobre su nuevo sistema de combate

El espectacular tráiler de Final Fantasy VII Remake con el que Square Enix sorprendía ayer tarde a sus aficionados en la PlayStation Experience ha dado mucho de qué hablar, especialmente por mostrar al fin el nuevo sistema de combate de esta aventura de rol, que diferirá bastante del visto en el título original.

Para aclarar un poco las cosas, el veterano productor Yoshinori Kitase ha afirmado que en ningún caso se puede decir que "el nuevo juego esté completamente basado en la acción, aunque tiene más elementos del estilo y acción en tiempo real que los juegos anteriores".

"Sin embargo, lo que hace a Final Fantasy y los RPG diferentes de otro tipo de juegos es que los usuarios tienen la capacidad de elegir armas, habilidades y magias de forma estratégica, así que aunque el nuevo juego tenga más elementos en tiempo real, mantendrá también ese toque estratégico, equilibrando estos dos factores a la perfección para mejorar la experiencia de juego".

Por otro lado, Kitase ha remarcado que el remake de Final Fantasy VII "continúa en desarrollo", lo que en pocas palabras significa que todavía puede mejorar más. "El juego todavía está en desarrollo y no hemos desentrañado todavía todo el potencial y mejoras de PlayStation 4", comenta el creativo nipón, que reconoce que el objetivo de Square enix ha sido el de mantener "la calidad gráfica de personajes como Cloud, Tifa y Aerith de la película Advent Children".

Unreal Engine 4 Powering Final Fantasy VII Remake Development

Epic Games is proud to announce today that Final Fantasy VII Remake is created with Unreal Engine 4. Square Enix fully unveiled the game onstage during PlayStation Experience 2015 this weekend, giving everyone a first look at one of the most celebrated games ever made, at last redone with high-fidelity graphics to match its lively and emotive story and cast of characters. The highly anticipated remake of the role-playing game was first unveiled earlier this year during E3 2015.

“We realize how special Final Fantasy VII is to fans, and we place our trust in Unreal Engine 4 technology and tools to help deliver this long-awaited remake, crafted for modern platforms,” said Yoshinori Kitase at Square Enix. “Working with the team at Epic and having their support throughout this process was invaluable and we’re excited to bring the product of that collaboration to long-time fans and newcomers to the series.”

We’re humbled that Square Enix has chosen Unreal Engine 4 to recreate one of the world’s most beloved video games of all time,” said Taka Kawasaki, territory manager for Epic Games Japan. “It is a joy to work with the talented developers behind the franchise, and this marks an unforgettable moment in Unreal Engine history.”

First released in 1997 on the PlayStation computer entertainment system, Final Fantasy VII is universally regarded as a hallmark title of the RPG genre. The original title received high praise for its epic storyline, unique characters, and movie sequences that utilized the most cutting-edge technology of the time. Since then, the game has sold over 11 million copies worldwide and continues to receive widespread acclaim from critics and fans around the world. The popular game has been extended with spin-offs, films, and merchandise.

Square Enix's statement

It means instead of concluding in one entry, multiple entries are being considered in development. Each entry will have its own unique story. As a gaming experience, each entry will have the volume of content equal to a full-sized game.

FINAL FANTASY VII Remake | PSX 2015 | Message from Yoshinori Kitase

For many years, people around the world have asked me “Will you ever remake FINAL FANTASY VII?” For many years I gave the same answers and on a personal level, having made the original FINAL FANTASY VII, did I really want to spend so many years making the same game again?

With FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE, we have the opportunity to go beyond the story, world and experience of FINAL FANTASY VII in ways we’ve always dreamed of - from the depths of Midgar to the skies above the Planet. The multi-part format enables us to expand the original story and turn it into an epic experience for fans and new gamers alike.

 

This past weekend at PlayStation Experience we were thrilled to present more of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE. It was great to see so much excitement when we surprised everyone with the first gameplay footage and it was a treat for us to show that development is going well, and further along than perhaps many had realised. Just like when we revealed the announcement trailer at E3 earlier this year, we like surprising you.

One thing that we wanted to be clear about during this weekend to accompany the new trailer was the scale of this project. We wanted to tell you this now and not in the future so that you’d share our vision for what we want to deliver. The biggest reason why we haven’t done a remake until now is because it’s a massive undertaking to reconstruct FINAL FANTASY VII from the ground up with the current technology. Producing a proper HD remake of FINAL FANTASY VII that maintains the same feeling of density of the original would result in a volume of content that couldn’t possibly fit into one instalment.

We’ve seen everyone’s comments and reactions to the news that FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE will be a multi-part series and many have speculated correctly as to the reason why we have made this decision. If we were to try to fit everything from the original into one remake instalment, we would have to cut various parts and create a condensed version of FINAL FANTASY VII. We knew none of you would have wanted that.

I hope that by explaining a little more about our design decisions that you can appreciate the size of this project and what we have planned for this remake. Going beyond the scale and depth of the world, narrative and gameplay from the original to deliver something that feels familiar yet new. As I said before, we like delivering surprises. :)

See you all soon and Happy Holidays!

Nuevos detalles

El último número de la revista japonesa Dengeki PlayStation incluye una entrevista con el director y productor del esperadísimo Final Fantasy VII Remake, quienes confirman que en esta aventura de rol todos los personajes contarán con su propio doblaje a cargo de actores.

"Básicamente, tendremos un doblaje completo. Todavía estamos decidiendo las voces de los personajes que no estuvieron en Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children", ha declarado Tetsuya Nomura. Y entre risas también confirman que se mantendrán las estrambóticas citas en la casa de Don Corneo, donde por supuesto los personajes tendrán su propia voz.

"Sería imposible no hacerlo", ha declarado entre risas el veterano Yoshinori Kitase, que sin embargo apunta que el paso del tiempo y los cambios sociales que ello implica les obliga a actuar "cuidadosamente" a la hora de "reproducir los eventos del original".

Otra de las preguntas más interesantes tiene que ver con la opción de convertir a Final Fantasy VII en un juego de mundo abierto. "No podemos decir nada todavía", comenta Kitase, pero no parece ser esta una cuestión que obsesione a Nomura. Los escenarios serán más grandes, o al menos eso parece, y también más interactivos con "acciones de los protagonistas que afecten" a los mismos. El cuánto lo harán todavía es un enigma. Y con razón, ya que el juego todavía se encuentra en sus primeras etapas de desarrollo.

¿Se estrenará a tiempo para el 20 aniversario del original? "No puedo decir nada en este momento", comenta entre risas Kitase. Tampoco Nomura ha sido claro al respecto. "Personalmente, estoy esperando por Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 y World of Final Fantasy en 2016. Creo que cuando estén completos, seré capaz de ofrecer nueva información".

Por último, cuestionados sobre la presencia de minijuegos en este remake, ambos han confirmado que los más conocidos estarán, aunque algunos podrían sufrir cambios y los menos conocidos directamente desaparecer. "El equipo de desarrollo también está pensando acerca de qué hacer con los minijuegos", afirma Kitase.
