According to Final Fantasy XIII-2 producer Yoshinori Kitase, he’d be tempted to “change things” in Final Fantasy VII, and not leave it as fans would want. Quick, quenchable quotes below the break.
“If I may speak as a game creator, if we were to produce a remake of VII, for example, I would be really tempted to delete things and add new elements, new systems or whatever because if we were to make exactly the same thing now, it’d be like a repeat.
It’d be an issue of repetition and not as much fun to make such a game. So I’d be really interested in rearranging games or reshaping games into something slightly different even though it’s supposed to be the same game. But if we did that, the fans might be disappointed or ‘this is not what I was expecting’ so in that sense maybe some might say that it’s better to let memory be memory.”
Thanks, GameInformer.
sigh…..
why does this not surprise me?
I long for Square-Soft
join the group.
its not only $E though, almost every dev this gen would do the same thing!
there in the mindset sequels have to be different.
why?
if i wanted a different game then why would i be buying another game in the same series?
just makes no sense what so ever!!!!!!!
