With
Square Enix prepping to release the first part of its ambitious
Final Fantasy VII Remake, comes word that both players and fans can expect to find some new faces thrown into the mix. Although these wont come in the form of main characters, director Tetsuya Nomura notes that it came from fleshing out Midgar.
As per
this update even though this first installment will focus on early parts of the original game, the scope is still quite large.
With regard to the size of the game that many are asking about – there’s no reason at all to worry. Even in this Midgar portion alone, the density and volume are so great that I had to give directions to lighten them.
With regard to new characters, of whom I said during past interviews that there would be “none” – though they aren’t main characters, their numbers ended up growing considerably in the process of creating a rich depiction of Midgar. When you think of Midgar’s final boss, you probably think of the M.O.T.O.R., but in this game new bosses will appear and add to the excitement of the story even more.
So, new characters in the city and bosses too. And on a final note Nomura adds that work on the next installment is already underway.
