Final Fantasy VII Remake Director Tetsuya Nomura Shares Gorgeous Cloud Artwork to Celebrate Release

The first game of the Final Fantasy VII Remake officially releases tomorrow (today in Japan), and Square Enix is celebrating.

I feel like he wasn't the full director to this game. Way too much of this game is competently made. (The bad filler feels like him). I wonder if they left his name in there, cus some people know who he is.

Vanfernal1481d ago

Nomura can't tell a story. The less input he has on the actual plot the better, lol.

TheSocietalAnomaly1481d ago

You’re basing this off of what? Kingdom Hearts?

lol, this man must really intimidate people.

NukeDaHippies1481d ago

Yea. I heard the production for versus 13 was such a mess, because he kept changing what the game was gonna be.

Sounds like the George lucus of the game world lol

TheSocietalAnomaly1481d ago

So much ignorance in such a short comment.

1. The man made most of what you probably liked about the original.

2. Did he touch you or something? You seem actually hurt.

3. He’s the ONLY reason there’s a somewhat turn-based mechanic in the game, and I know how much that tickled the weebs.

NukeDaHippies1481d ago

How can one man be so wrong?

Elda1481d ago

There are 2 co-directors as well.

NukeDaHippies1481d ago

Must be it. I remember at E3 when they showed the game off. They introduced Nomura and made him stand in the corner for the rest of the presentation.

It comes across in the game too.

Original Final Fantasy 7 - Is it Worth Playing in 2024?

Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?

Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.

Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...

ravens5221d ago

... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.

VIK212121d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

@ravens52
80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣

ravens5220d ago

Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.

ravens5220d ago

Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.

Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.

Barlos21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.

I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.

Tapani20d ago

Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.

Rebel_Scum21d ago

Yes, play this, skip remake, start rebirth for new players.

I_am_Batman21d ago

Skip Remake? That's terrible advice.

leahcim21d ago

Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.

Rebel_Scum21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

I disagree Batman

Rise of the ronin sold twice as much as Dragons Dogma 2 this week...but no articles about that. It's only news if a PS exclusive is being outsold.
