Crisis Core, FFVII Remake News

Blitzballer · 09-06-2007, 08:57 AM

Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core is to be released on the 13th of this month and Famitsu have managed to get executive producer Yoshinori Kitase, producer Hideki Imaizumi, director Hajime Tabata, and character designer Tetsuya Nomura together for an interview where they discuss the development of Crisis Core and touch upon the never ending subject of an FFVII remake.

Ign have the details of the interview which are outlined below.

- Hajime Tabata noted that the game almost fills up a UMD-Rom, is well balanced that players of all levels should be able to finish it. Those more experienced gamers can look forward to over 300 missions outside of the main storyline.

- The origins of Crisis Core were that the project was going to be a port of Before Crisis. Kitase talked to him about this idea but it seems it was Nomuras suggestion that they make a game with much more meaning to the Compilation- with it centered on the soldier Zack.

- The persistant rumours, speculation of FFVII being remade was also brought up. Tabata side stepped the question by revealing that SE will be distributing a new episode of Before Crisis for mobiles at the same time as the Crisis Core release. Imaizumi remarked that it was all about a question of timing as key figures were busy with their own projects plus a new game is to be revealed at the TGS- it also seems that this new game could be separate from the KH franchise as Nomura had previously announced that an installment in the KH project will be seen at the TGS.

No, that's the Japan release date. NA release date is still unannounced.

Sigh, knew it was too good to be true.... >.>

300 extra missions? Sounds like some very time consuming ****. And fo what? Zack dies anyway...

Spira · 09-07-2007, 09:44 AM

Im guessing not all of them are... battle related.. maybe cutscene-heavy side quests or minigames that help flesh out bits of FF7 we never knew about..

maybe a honeybee inn simulation game >_>

I'm actually contemplating buying a PSP for this game.

And yeah Zack dies, but it'd still be pretty interesting.

I'm wondering if the Kingdom Hearts spin off is really going to center around Roxas. Because those were the initial thoughts going on about the spin off game. It was either the story behind Roxas or the story of where the Keyblades originated from. Hopefully we'll find something out later at TGS.

... Random much?

Annnnnyway.... I'm buying a PSP just for this game (well, this and Dissidia). The early reviews I've been reading have been surprisingly promising. It's sounding more and more like Square is putting the effort into this title that they left out of DoC.

rikku · 09-07-2007, 05:57 PM

it would be hot if i centers around roxas but even better about the key blades. i think if they make it about the keyblade there would be a lot of new characters

Garland · 09-07-2007, 06:52 PM

i wouldnt have bought one for this game alone. But Tactics: Lions, and Dissidia, were the driving force. And i might as well pick this up aswell ^^.

I think that there are probably thousands of Americans who see Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, Dissidia, and Tactics: The War of The Lions (Along with SW Battlefront III) and a remade cheap PSP who now plan of buying a PSP.

I am one of those thousands...
