'Final Fantasy 7' remake: Main scenario of game's first part complete

More details have now been revealed about the progress and the other changes that are being made to the "Final Fantasy VII" remake.

The new details come courtesy of a recent Famitsu interview with the game's director Tetsuya Nomura, producer Yoshinori Kitase, and scenario writer Kazushige Nojima and as reported on by Siliconera.

Starting off with an update in terms of how the game is coming along, it was revealed during the interview that the main scenario of the remake's first part has already been finished.

Another interesting tidbit from the interview revealed that the team behind the "Final Fantasy VII" remake already knew how many parts there would be, but that they couldn't disclose that bit of information, at least not for now.

These pieces of information would suggest that the progress of the remake is moving along nicely, although the actual rate of completion is a mystery.

Players will also apparently be able to enjoy new aspects of the game that were not available in the original version.

According to the trio, the remake will allow players to explore the entirety of Midgar and even reveal more about Avalanche members Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie. 

The "Final Fantasy VII" remake is also expected to pay more attention to Cloud's hallucinations.

As for the battle system, the folks behind the remake have apparently been unable to decide as of yet whether or not there will be a guard option being made available in the game, VG 247 reported. They also wanted to clarify that the ATB gauge would be different from the Limit Break system, and that players can also look forward to another new wrinkle that could change depending on their specific play styles.

The "Final Fantasy VII" remake will also feature the same voice actors that were in "Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children."

There's also no official word yet on whether the "Final Fantasy VII" remake will feature any online components.
