Chances of a Final Fantasy VII Compilation Remake
That’s right, we’re talking about the Final Fantasy VII Remake and its relationship to the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII again.
The last time we talked about this was in February 2017, when Nomura said there would be no continuity between the Compilation and the new remake.
However, it left open the possibility that Compilation material still could be incorporated into the remake.
As reported by Gematsu, Nomura was answering fan questions on October 30 when one fan said they want to play Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII again.
(Before Crisis was a Japan-exclusive prequel for mobile phones that followed the Turks. As of March 31, it can no longer be played.)
Nomura responded by addressing the matter of the Final Fantasy VII Remake, which he will be focusing on after Kingdom Hearts III’s release, and said:
All of us old-timers are considering various developments in regards to what accompanies the remake. Like if we can manage to do something about the Compilation titles too. But for the time being, please wait for VII’s turn to come.”
This caused some fury among fans, who seem to think Nomura is implying they’ll spend time focusing on the Compilation instead of the main game.
Personally, I don’t think that’s what this is. I think he wanted to respond to the fan in a way that didn’t rule out the possibility of the Compilation eventually being remade, so he said they’re considering it.
The “please wait for VII’s turn to come” sounds like they’re going to focus on the Final Fantasy VII Remake before any side material.
It also sounds like the Compilation is still completely separate, rather than being incorporated into Final Fantasy VII’s story. (I’m still not sure why the remake can’t be released as a single title.) Will the Compilation be remade? Maybe eventually.
But it doesn’t sound like it’s one of Square Enix’s currently plans.
What do you think about the Final Fantasy VII Remake, the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII, and Nomura’s answer to the question?
(Also, Happy N7 Day! When will we get some Mass Effect news?)
