Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a highly anticipated sequel that promises to redefine gaming for lovers of the original game. Learn more about the intriguing updates confirmed by FF7 Rebirth Director Hamaguchi that players may look forward to.
New Outfits For Renewed Adventures
Ensures Clothes Appropriate for Current Situation
One of the most fascinating new features in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will be the option to dress up your characters in various clothes. In a recent interview with SaudiGamer, Director Naoki Hamaguchi indicated that the characters will be dressed differently than in the original game. He also explains that players can unlock and alter costumes obtainable in specific game areas. The developers have ensured that characters only dress according to their current condition as a consideration for new players. Thus, this feature shouldn't affect the plot.
Balanced Gameplay and Player Freedom
Gameplay and story will be balanced in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, bringing back memories as a throwback to the original, while still offering a novel gaming experience. According to Director Hamaguchi, the trilogy's goal is to feel the past in a new way.
The team hopes to portray the original game's features in a new and modern approach that would stir players' emotions while giving a new and exciting experience. Such consistency will be visible in all three sections of the trilogy.
Compared to Remake, Rebirth will have a much more linear progression structure, with new regions opening up as the player progresses through the narrative. The seamless and connected universe will then be available for exploration before the game's conclusion, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that went into experience-building.
The Square Enix team has taken user feedback seriously and understands the need for more freedom and content. This realization led to a substantial change in Rebirth's strategy. According to Director Hamaguchi, gamers now have greater freedom to decide how to complete tasks. Players can even ignore the plot and focus exclusively on side missions, due to the sheer abundance of side material the game introduces. This produces a solid and compelling story, but a different experience from Remake.
Reason for Secret Characters to Join the Team
In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Yuffie and Vincent are guaranteed to become party members, unlike in the original game where they were optional. Director Naoki Hamaguchi explained that this is to focus on the relationships between characters and their pivotal roles in the story. He stated that the team wants to highlight all the relationships, the interaction of the characters with each other, and their greater role in the events.
This will include many moments that embody the strength and development of these relationships, which should please many players.
With new outfits, enhanced narrative freedom, and a reimagined character dynamic, fans can anticipate a gaming experience that pays homage to the original, all the while delivering something fresh and exhilarating.
