While I pretty much agree FFVII remake is going to be a disaster because it’s going to remove a lot of the quirkinesses and charm of the original (not to mention the probable rewrites to make it compilation compliant), two things:

1) why wouldn’t they reuse assets. Most of the industry does this, that’s why they’re there.

And 2) nomura is 1 person. You wanna blame anyone blame square for their gross mismanagement and constantly throwing nomura on 5 bazillion projects, demanding he finish 1 project before he moves on to the next, then getting impatient when he doesn’t,
scrapping years worth of work and then cutting corners to meet deadlines they couldn’t fulfill from day one. He’s a hack writer for sure but square can’t manage worth shit seeing as how FFXV almost fucking bankrupt them. Again.

how did XV almost bankrupt them?

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT

It didn't, I'm really not sure why they think so. It's classic Squeenix bullshit, sure, but it's not actually XV's fault. XV has sold 8.1 million copies, which is a raging success for the series, and every small amount of merchandise that was released also sold like hotcakes. However: drama, seniority issues, and infighting occurred, the director "stepped down" (read as: he was forced out) when the last wave of DLC was supposed to drop, and now Squeenix treats XV as the redheaded stepchild of the series and pretends none of that ever happened. They had a rough year entirely because of their own choices.

ayrt

I heard the director was fired and that cancelled some of the planned DLCs? (I'd heard there would be an Episode Luna for example?)

[(Anonymous)]

He was definitely fired, but the official party line is that he (and his entire department??) "stepped down to work on other projects." This when, yes, an entire set of DLC (Episodes Luna, Aranea, and Noctis) was still in active development and on track to be released. Rumors all indicate that it was more or less a power move by Nomura's people, due to lingering bitterness over being taken off the initial VsXIII project and the fact that he still has a lot of flex at Squeenix for being a Big Name.

It's all kind of a mess, really, but nothing they haven't done before.

I just started my OG replay, and man, I love the original Final Fantasy 7. There's so much thought and detail put into it. I don't trust the remake to capture it at all.

I just want the endless staircase to still be there.

[(Anonymous)]

What endless staircase?

[(Anonymous)]

Presumably one of the two entrances into Shinra HQ when you're saving Aeris.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh! I remember it now.

I've replayed this game at least 50 times and I only took that staircase the first two play through.

[rudehannibal]

oh god that endless staircase

[bur]

Seeing Tifa and Barrett puffed out and cursing would make the price of admission worth it. /sage nod

[(Anonymous)]

Maybe be more mad at Square? Nomura is one man who can only do so much but he ends up with like. Ten different projects pushed on him, impossible deadlines, etc.

[(Anonymous)]

YES, I am fucking SCARED.
Because we all know how it goes when they things are remade, especially because it needs to be more compilation-compliant: they change a lot of important script parts, keep those small little things that made the whole shine out of it, and more often than not dumb down the whole thing for the sake of improved graphics/era-adequate gameplay etc. But what scares me the most is that the fandom becomes ridden with a different canon, yes.
Not gonna lie, I'm scared.
