Final Fantasy VII Remake: Honey Bee, cross-gen … new information about the game – News

In the pages of Weekly Famitsu magazine, Tetsuya Nomura delivers some additional details on Final Fantasy VII Remake after her presentation at E3 2019 (via Gematsu).

Finally dated March 3, 2020, Final Fantasy VII Remake will rediscover Midgar in a new light. If the main storyline will remain faithful to the original game, many additional events and elements will be introduced to develop and complete the whole. "Otherwise, there would not be two Blu-Ray discs", recalls Nomura. The director of the game mentions in particular the dark apparitions seen in the trailer These are the "Guardians of Destiny", beings who will manifest themselves regularly before our group of heroes. The man also confirms the presence of choice of dialogues, which implies that there will be much more text than in the original game. The famous scenes of the Honey Bee Inn, a brothel that is visited on the occasion of a quest asking Cloud to disguise himself, will also be part of a more "modern" form. Finally, we learn that each character has particular affinities for a certain type of enemy, that an object will be needed to recover MPs, and that the "ethical department" of Square Enix has recommended to offer an athletic morphology to Tifa and to tighten his chest so as not to give an unnatural impression during the fighting.

Earlier before this Nomura interview, Square Enix President Yosuke Matsuda suggested that Final Fantasy VII Remake could be used as a "cross-gen" game in Game Informer :

It's a hot topic right now and I was expecting you to talk about it. I think our teams have made the game support both the next generation of consoles and the current one. I think it's developed so that it's playable on both, so I do not worry too much about it and I think fans will be able to enjoy it on the next generation of consoles

It will be possible in any case to play Final Fantasy VII Remake on the future "PS5", PlayStation having already confirmed that the machine will be backward compatible with PS4 games. Recall that the story of Final Fantasy VII will be told through several games. The first, Final Fantasy VII Remake, will not go further than Midgar.
