Final Fantasy 7 Remake Update Emerges

Producer Yoshinori Kitase is giving gamers a small update on how the Final Fantasy 7 remake is coming together

When developer starts to develop a remake of one of the most famous titles in gaming history they end up under a huge amount of pressure. If they fail to keep the spirit of the original alive they can be sure gamers will be at their doorstep with torches and pitchforks. So its understandable why we’ve heard so little about the Final Fantasy 7 remake. Even though its the same team of developers who created the infamous title in the first place this remake has them under pressure.

Until know the most we have been told is that they won’t be using the usual in-house Square Enix game engine and that combat will no longer be turn based. That information alone made plenty of fans nervous about how the remake of their favorite title would turn out. This week producer Yoshinori Kitase tried to ease fan fears with a small update on Final Fantasy 7 remake dev process.

He told Famitsu (through Gematsu) that the visual direction the team wants to take is coming along nicely. So it sounds like the team has found a balance between the old and new graphics that they believe fans will enjoy. The battle-system, according to Kitase, is a whole other beast that needs to be tackled.

In his statement to Famitsu, Kitase said: “we’re currently working out the battle system and such through trial-and-error. Since there’s a possibility that the command battle system of the old days might not work today, we’re thinking hard about what kind of direction we can take it.” Its been said recently that the Final Fantasy 7 remake would be dropping turn based combat altogether.

Now the developers don’t sound so sure saying “Normally, when you do a remake, it becomes somewhere along the lines of a familiar action RPG, so we’re looking at how we can put out something like Final Fantasy VII while still surprising players.” It seems as if the Final Fantasy 7 remake team is feeling the pressure of appeasing new and old fans.

At the end of his statement to Famitsu, Kitase says “Please don’t ask about how far into development we are and such. [Laughs].” Making it sound like we won’t be getting new updates on the remake for quite a while. These details on the combat system and graphics will have to hold us over until then.

Just like most other people are here, Ryan is very passionate about gaming and technology. When he's not writing about video games, you'll likely find him talking about the latest gadgets.

ReFantazio Takes a Different Approach to Romance, Setting Itself Apart from the Persona Games

Atlus’ highly anticipated RPG, Metaphor: ReFantazio, appears to incorporate familiar systems reminiscent of the developer’s acclaimed Persona series. The game features turn-based battles that heavily rely on exploiting enemy weaknesses. Additionally, players have the ability to summon warrior spirits during combat. However, the most significant aspect of this game, which will be discussed in this article, is the bonding system. Through this system, players can spend time with important characters and gain deeper insights into their personalities and stories.

In contrast to the Persona games, the bonding system ends at that point. Unfortunately, players will be unable to pursue romantic relationships with their beloved waifus, which may come as a disappointment to those who have developed strong feelings for Hulkenberg, the party’s charismatic red-haired elven knight.

According to Siliconera, the absence of romance came up during a recent question and answer session. Atlus emphasized the continued opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with your allies while also introducing additional narratives through substories. In addition, familiarizing yourself with the supporting characters will grant you access to new archetypes, which serve as the game’s character classes.

In the Persona games, romance is not obligatory; rather, it serves as a means to customize your playthrough. However, it is quite unexpected that Metaphor has chosen not to pursue such a venture, considering the significant amount of discussion it typically generates!

Were you anticipating any romantic elements in Metaphor? If you’re not satisfied with your pre-order, feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

It appears that many

are eagerly anticipating the launch of the highly anticipated PS5 exclusive, Stellar Blade. Shift Up, the developer, has shared a lengthy video showcasing the “secrets” found in the physical box of the game for PS5. From what we can gather, these secrets include a reversible cover/dust jacket and a download code for cosmetic items.

We must clarify that while we do appreciate the variant cover, it may be more appealing than the game’s standard art. However, it is not something we would typically classify as a “secret.”. However, what’s interesting is that Shift Up has confirmed through the comments section that this will be the case in all regions. Additionally, the visually striking action RPG will remain uncensored worldwide.

It’s refreshing to witness a developer going the extra mile for physical collectors, and it’s evident that the developer is determined to leave a favorable mark in the console realm. Stellar Blade is set to make its highly anticipated debut this Friday, April 26th, exclusively on the PS5.
