To anyone who watches the entire closing credit after finishing a game, we thank you
Naoki Hamaguchi says he trusts FF7 Writer Kazushige Nojima with the story of the FF7 Remake Trilogy and they only make slight adjustments to help with the emotional pacing of the game. “When it comes to the overarching story, I place my trust in what Kazushige Nojima writes and have no intention of altering that based on my judgment. However, with the significant increase in visual fidelity in these remakes, arranging events and the passage of time exactly as they were in the original game can sometimes result in scenes that feel implausible. When changes in time or dates don’t feel convincing, it also breaks the player’s emotional engagement. This time in particular, we took a very critical look at questions surrounding whether a given emotion truly makes sense at a certain point in time or how much emotional groundwork the player would realistically have if a certain event were to occur. It wasn’t so much a matter of adding or changing the story, but rather adjusting things in a way that ensured that the player’s emotional pacing aligned with the flow of time. That process required revisiting scenes again and again, and honestly, it was one of the aspects of development we were most sensitive about.” comicbook.com/gaming/feature…
