Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthwill make the original’s famed ‘date scene’ memorable no matter who you hang out with.
That’s according to co-director Naoki Hamaguchi, speaking to Italian outletEveryEyein a new interview. Hamaguchi revealed that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth would be modernizing the date scene at the Gold Saucer from the original game, and that every part of said scene would be memorable.
The game’s co-director stopped just short of revealing howSquare Enixwould be resurrecting the scene for a more modern audience, and how the scene would be “memorable” in specifics. We’ll have to keep theorizing on the specifics surrounding dates with Tifa, Aerith, and Barrett until next year.
Hamaguchi previously said in another interview last month that the development team wantedeverything in Rebirth to be on par with the Gold Saucer’s extravaganza. That’s no small feat, considering how over-the-top everything about the location was in the original game, and Hamaguchi said Square Enix wanted to take the Gold Saucer’s minigames and make them available throughout the entire remake sequel.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is out next year on February 29 as aPS5exclusive. Good news if you hated a certain ninja’s introduction sequence in the original game, becauseRebirth is changing Yuffie’s entrance to be a lot less annoying.
