This year's E3 was full of long-awaited surprise announcements, and among the biggest of announcements was the PS4 remake of Final Fantasy VII. However, the remake might bring some unexpected changes from the game that fans remember. When asked about potential changes by GameSpot, director Tetsuya Nomura hinted that they could make some changes from the original game for the upcoming remake. Here's what he had to say:

"We’ve announced an HD port version on the PlayStation 4, and then we have the remake coming to PS4. You’ll have this extremely, very, very pretty FFVII existing on the same plane. We feel that if that happens, it’s like, why have the same exact game?

"We think that if a game is on a certain platform and that platform becomes obsolete, then we’d recommend playing the new port version." — Tetsuya Nomura

Do you agree with Nomura's thoughts? Would changing things from the original PlayStation game make or break the remake for you? Tell us in the comments!

I too wanted a remake of Final Fantasy VII but when I was thinking about a remake what I had in mind was adding meat to the same bones that hold the game together. Better cut-scenes, great character animations that can bring the dialogue to life, more areas to explore (but don't remove the things that already exist).

Nomura must understand that FFVII fans want to play the same game and find the same things and give them the feeling that they know the game, just in a whole different package.

Add more sidequests, add more Summons, add more magics, add more enemies, add more Weapons, add more secrets, add more bits of history, add more background story like a flashback to Jenova's arrival to the planet, etc.

Don't change the fucking game, add stuff and retell the same story a little differently.

Some changes would be welcome. FF7 was great but it wasnt perfect.

Probably will be ok, but it does make me nervous...

So a Reboot?

Added dialogue between characters, expanded and new areas, sidequests, etc is welcomed. Even adding onto the main story itself would be fine as long as they do not completely change it from the original.

Sounds good. Original was from 1997, games have advanced in many ways and there is little reason to hold back a modern game even if it is a remake

Just hope the changes they make are good ones

Would be awesome if the game had multiple endings and one of them where Aeris lives!

I'm fine with that. I've played FFVII over 10 times so I know everything. if done right, something surprising is very welcomed.

Small changes are a given, but nothing too drastic.
