Square Enix held a stage event which included facebook live for Final Fantasy VII Remake during Thailand Game Show 2019 last week. Yoshinori Kitase Producer of Final Fantasy VII Remake attended the event as well and showed some gameplay of the game like the battle control/system, how summoning works and magic to the crowd as well as handling some Q and A.
On twitter, Kitase-san comments on the recreation of the mini-games especially since fans have been speculating whether or not they will be in the remake or not;
“Since we announced the remake, a lot of fans have speculated as to how far we would go in reproducing the elements that made the original great,” “We put a lot of care and attention into the cutscenes. But the fans of the original also have strong memories of things like the squats, too. So even though they are just little mini-games, the development team had a huge motivation to do them properly and remake them in a modern style.”
