Final Fantasy VII Remake is multi-part to avoid cutting content, says director

Square Enix is releasing its highly anticipated Final Fantasy VII Remake as a multiple-part series.

According to director Tetsuya Nomura, releasing the remake in this way — which sounds almost episodic — will avoid the need to cut content from the role-playing game that’s sold over 100 million units since its 1997 release. Square Enix confirmed to GamesBeat that Final Fantasy VII Remake will come in installments, translating an interview from Famitsu magazine. “Producing a proper HD remake of Final Fantasy VII that maintains the same feeling of density of the original results in a volume of content that couldn’t possibly fit into one installment,” producer Yoshinori Kitase said.
