It has been a long time coming but the modern remake of the classic role-playing game Final Fantasy VII will be released in March of next year.
The latest trailer (shown below) covers more of the gameplay and it is indeed more action-oriented. While the game itself looks lovely, I am not sure about the change in functional approach over the original game.
In that, Final Fantasy VII utilized the Active Time Battle system that was introduced back in 1991 for Final Fantasy IV. Instead of discrete turn-based battles, the Active Time Battle system was built around of a continuous flow of actions and variable wait times.
The result was a more fluid form of strategy that became the mainstay for many of the later Final Fantasy games and even Chrono Trigger.
What we have here in Final Fantasy VII Remake is closer to a full-on action role-playing game in the same vein as Final Fantasy XV or even Kingdom Hearts.
It’s not as though this more action-oriented approach is necessarily bad but it’s not how the original Final Fantasy VII was functionally structured, so a remake that changes that up does feel somewhat odd.
After all, if you are expecting a remake of Final Fantasy VII, you would expect that it would play the same way but just with updated graphics. It seems that in addition to updated graphics we now have a different approach to the game itself.
Whether the gameplay will turn out okay remains to be seen but we at least finally have the game scheduled for release for March next year.
What’s more, this is only meant to be the first episode of the remake but that’s not something that has been clarified in this new trailer, so I am curious what’s happening there.
In any case, it looks like we will be able to return to a much shinier version of Midgar next year and that does make me happy.
Final Fantasy VII Remake is released for PlayStation 4 on March 3 next year.
