Something for everyone.
With FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE available now on the Nintendo Switch 2, along with a demo, Director Naoki Hamaguchi, recently sat down with Nintendo for an interview. Much about FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE and the remake series was discussed. One such topic was Hamaguchi commenting on the appeal of FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE INTERGRADE for new fans and old fans alike. His full comments can be seen here:
Naoki Hamaguchi: I was one of those people who played and loved the original game. I was wowed by FINAL FANTASY VII when it first came out all those years ago and really enjoyed playing it. Now I’m in the position as the director of the remake trilogy, and I’m very lucky to be in that position. I understand what the fans are looking for from the fan perspective. All those important memories, what was valuable to them about that game and what they really want to see again. I’m very much dedicated to bringing that to the fans: making it still authentic and still feel like FINAL FANTASY VII, while also making a new fresh experience at the same time. The whole development team really has that level of passion and excitement for remaking this game in that way. If you wanted to play FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE and you haven’t had the chance, it would really be a great opportunity to pick it up on Nintendo Switch 2, and I’m very confident that we can deliver all that satisfaction and what the old school fans are really looking for in this game. I’m very confident and I’m proud of the passion of my team and what they’ve put into it, and I think you’ll have a really great experience of FINAL FANTASY VII all over again.
Even if you haven’t played or heard of the FINAL FANTASY VII, you might have encountered Cloud and Sephiroth in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and maybe you’ve been drawn to them without quite knowing who they are.
Through the remake series, you can discover the origins and stories of these characters. It’s a really tight, focussed, story-driven experience that allows you to delve into and understand these characters, and hopefully come to love and appreciate them even more. So, if you’re at all interested in these characters, this is a really great way to discover where they came from. I very much invite people to try out FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE on Nintendo Switch 2 just to experience these really cool characters.
