From a magazine, but I don't think we are allowed to post scans here. Here's the quote.

" >FFVIIのコンピレーション作品で判明した設定が新たに盛り込まれたりと、ストリーの面でも厚みが増やしている"
">Settings established in the FFVII Compilation works are newly incorporated and the story has been delved more deeply into."

Didn't Nomura say he would focus on the original game instead?

What is the point of a remake if you're going to include all the terrible filth that came after?

Just because the game is going to incorporate some elements from Compilation materials doesn't mean it's going to incorporate everything from them.

But yes, Genesis was pretty bad in Crisis Core.

I wouldn't be surprised if those Guardians of Fate black ghosts things are retconned to be the non-corporeal form of the Sephiroth remnants (The Advent Children trio) before they are actually willed into a physical being... but serving the same role the Jenova renuion creeps originally served in early versions of FF7's script (which matches up to what we've seen so far)

That's good, Zack was very undersold in the original so it's good that they'll push more into his story. Curious if Genesis will show up or not.

Because this isn't a 1:1 remake. Yall gotta stop acting like it is. The main story of the game will not be changed. That doesn't mean they won't add things to flesh out certain things. You'll probably get more Zack and I wouldn't be shocked if things from Dirge are brought in to help flesh out Jenova and Sephiroths origins.

Haven't played Compilation, anyone give a brief explanation as to why this Genesis character is so hated?

The Sephiroth hallucinations you see in the game that throw Jenova body parts at you are totally gonna be these clowns huh, GIVE IT TO ME.

Combined with Jenova DNA these dudes pretty much become him anyway, so why not. Maximum fuckery

Fixed that for you. Disc 1 itself is gonna be 3 games at this rate.

Hopefully this means more Zack and less...everything else in the complication, lol.

We need more Zack in the story.

And I never played Dirge of Cerberus, but maybe there's some stuff of that game that they can use to Vincent

Just keep Genesis and everything about Advent Children out of this game

Turning a neat little My Bloody Valentine reference into some possibly prophetic Shakespearean play the proto-Cloud/Sephiroth wannabe obsesses over sums up everything lame about the Compilation.

God no. They should clean sweep everything but the original source material (FF7).

I mean, we should have known this already. In the first Remake reveal trailer in 2015, they showed a train to SOUTH EDGE which was part of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.

Honestly, as long as it's Zack and not Genesis, Angeal, and Deepground, I can handle it.

Fuuuuuuuuck Genesis. I have been fully on board with this remake and them fucking with anything/everything. But, that piece of shit character is an absolute hype killer for me. I don't even want to see his name written on a piece of paper in the shinra building.

While Dirge takes place after FF7, a vast majority of the story is backfill information about Sephiroth, Jenova, Lucretia, etc etc. Which of course adds a lot to Vincent as well. But I'd fully expect a lot of that stuff to find its way into the remake in some form as part of fleshing out Sephiroth.

A lot of Dirge is really bonkers compared to FF7 and feels very FF13-ish in terms of the visuals (like, look at Omega compared to a Shinra tech or even a Weapon... it's a very different style), the Regenesis org looking like fuckin' Star Ocean characters, etc.

You can talk shit about a lot of what Square Enix and Final Fantasy games do (hell, they had fodder for many years with 13 and 15). To me this stuff was the worst.

Nomura: WH-WH-WHAAAAT UEMATSU WROTE A SONG CALLED """ ONE WINGED ANGEL""".... AAAH THAT'S COOL.

*draws it on a bunch of characters*

*creates Genesis Rhapsodos based on J-rock-pop star Gackt*

latest


Nomura:
HEY REMEMBER THAT ONE ENGLISH POSTER IN THE FF7 INTRO? NOW IT'S A THING!

ALSO, WOULD THEY NOT JUST FLY IN CIRCLES???
I used to love Nomura so much as a teen, but I'm kinda just seeing a lot of cheese in his work these days.

I mean if yall want to play the original game. It's there. I'm all for them expanding the story. There's still a bunch of people out there straight up confused about a bunch of shit from the original game either due to poor translation, or it not being explained enough.

It's more than likely a few story references like more Zack and more stuff about Jenova and Sephiroths origins.

They said this back when the game was revealed. Of course, they will use things from the compilation to flesh out character backstories and the like.

Well there is the disappointment I needed to keep my hopes in check.

Even the good parts of the compilation are things that I think make the original story and characters worse. As much as I enjoyed Crisis Core I prefered Zack as a chump that died to two grunts instead of what they turned him into.
