Nomura on FFVII Remake Changes: "unexpectedly there were many instances where I became a (door) stopper"

I GAVE MYSELF TO JENOVA, HYUCK! LAY DOWN YOUR WEAPONS AND PREPARE FOR THE REYOU-HOO-HOO-HOO!
I mean I would of enjoyed the game if it was a 1:1 remake but the changes made this a much better experience.
The final boss, phase 1 is the same character model, phase 2 he starts to get "weird" and phase 3 you get Jenova. Have your cake and eat it too without blowing the stakes out of the water in the first chapter.
I've had to come to terms with this. It's easy to blame Nomura but the whole team seems kinda like they're on that Otaku juice where the "impression" of things is more important than the actual original content. That being said it raises many questions why many of the changes and elements in the new game reflect very similarly to Nomura sensibilities, and if it was star power of people working under Tetsuya trying to replicate him or other possible issues with trying to capture the same lightning in a bottle. Either way it's definitely more complicated than "Damn you Nomura."
Guys, I got it.
Part 2 will consist of Aerith throwing Cloud and Tifa into the lifestream, so that Cloud regains his self, and never gives the black materia to Sephiroth.
They defeat original Sephiroth, tell him he was being manipulated by Genova. They become friends and nobody dies.
The end.

If Nomura is the voice of reason in the room, you've got problems.
Nomura : Stop you all with these nonsensical ideas !
*Procede to make even more nonsensical stuff.
Ff 7 had musical moment and it was damn awesome. Heck, I wish we got more musical number as side quest
I bought the new issue of Famitsu this morning and have been reading the interview with the developers, I found a comment from the producer Kitase that is directly related to the current discussion in this thread.
Here is a quote from Kitase from the recent interview:
"Director Nomura, Co-directors Hamaguchi and Toriyama basically wanted to keep as many parts of the original as possible that were loved by fans. We wanted to build a balance that adds some surprises to the Remake. Some fans may want to have the exact same experience as they remember, but if it's really the same, it will be just a re-experience of memories losing its significance as a remake. By adding new elements, we were able to revive FFVII for the new era."
The direction of the Remake is not all Nomura, it's a team effort discussed by all the key staff. As a fan of the OG, I really like the way Kitase is thinking, hoping they can deliver an even better installment whenever the release date for part 2 is.

First Mickey, now Aerith... How many more times will goofy sacrifice himself for Nomura's madness???
people in this thread will rant about this game every chance they get instead of just moving on and playing games they like
Glad he did so, but I'm someone who doesn't dislike the endgame stretch so in my mind he stepped in exactly enough. lo
I have my full trust in namura after this game, do whatever u want we will still have the original.
Also I'm really tired of all the negativity surrounding gaming this year, i think gamers are becoming more entitled by the year complaining about every decision the developers make, like if they decided early on that anything but what was expected is shit.
Tlou2: bad story
Ff7r: they butchered the original
Doom eternal: more of the same
Got: assassin creed copy
What about just accepting what u got and if u don't like it then fine it's not the end of the world.

A doorstopper in a business context is just someone who says no a lot--everyone else is spinning new ideas but he just says no.
They should changed even more, rather than the mess we got.
As always, the problem was not the idea (changing the 'final boss') but the execution.

I can't even get mad about the ending. I wasn't crazy about it, but I don't think it's exactly Kingdom Hearts levels of insanity. And while the same sort of content bores me today, my thirteen year old existential self would have been reeling at that ending. If it can make someone like me feel the way I would have at that age and leave a lasting impression on them I can live with it. And I'm happy because it's a better playing game than the original and they nailed the characterization of the cast. In that sense I can't wait to see what's next.

So you're saying all the theory videos might have a chance? Can't to wait see more characters from compilation showing up then!
*especially certain character from CC, wink.
People are allowed to have criticism for products they consume.
That said, people are a bit more negative this year for reasons I assume you haven't missed
As someone who regards FF7 Original as one of their favorite titles and played them all the way back in 1997-1998 I think the remastered game was phenomenal. Probably my personal favorite game this whole year and the second part is easily my most anticipated game. I was totally on board with the deviations. I found them enthralling, exciting and intriguing. They reimagined and improved the characters in ways that far exceeded my expectations. The combat was fantastic and the way they combined real time with turn based had great synergy and worked surprisingly well.
I think it's great that the unknown journey will forge its own path, where I am left just as clueless as the rest of you to ponder on how the story will continue.

Of course they do i'm just saying that this year was a lot more negative despite having a lot of good to great games and we also have 5 more months of new games and a new generation around the corner.
I guess your right about this being an abnormal year.
