Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 1 to explore the world outside

Kitase confirmed that Part 2 will explore the world outside the game’s metropolis of Midgar. Players can play the game as Cloud Strife and his feud with Shinra in locations not just in Midgar. They also confirmed that there will be a great detail to the outside world, as was the case with Midgar in Part 1.

Hamaguchi commented that there has been a major shuffle in the internal staff present in the development for Part 2. He further commented that the current crop of developers’ primary inspiration comes from Part 1 and not the first game in 1997. Hamaguchi also confirmed that the development of a new battle system.

Dubbed as the “Action Combat”, Hamaguchi confirmed a change to the famed combat system of FF7. FF7 Remake Part 1 released for the PS4 on March 2020. There are also rumors that an upgraded FF7 Remake Part 1 for the PS5 will release in the upcoming months. Fans of the franchise are to be sure looking at some exciting months ahead.
