So, Tokyo Game Show 2019 was last week and there were trailers! Specifically, Final Fantasy VII Remake and Kingdom Hearts 3: Re:Mind, two upcoming releases for which I am very excited. Unfortunately, the KH3 DLC still has no release date, only the Winter release date. FFVIIR, however, maintains it’s release date, but I think they’re hiding something. More about that in a minute. Let’s get into these!
There is not a lot in this trailer. It’s a lot of quick shots of what appear to be some extra story segments and secret boss battles. Cool. I loved all that stuff in the previous games. The trailer seems to imply that the final story segment is being retconned or some of these battlesare non canonical. We know that the Power of Waking can retcon events because it rewound time following the Lich battle. I would be in favor of Sora’s quest to save Kairi rewriting how the ending plays out, but not the actual outcome. Give all the other heroes something to do, Nomura. Especially Aqua! Let her win a fight!
So, here’s the thing about this game: I’m not sure it is only the Midgar portion of the original. They keep showing scenes from what appears to be the escape from Midgar in the original. Could that be the end of this game? Maybe. Would Tetsuya Nomura show the end of the game in a trailer? Well…
But what if this game actually includes the entire, or majority of, the first disc? That would be a cool surprise given that the team has stated this is a game about Midgar. And it can still be that if the first 20-30 hours are in Midgar and you return at the end. It feels like something is being kept from us about this game and that the full scope of this game is being obscured from us.
