Are you sure there will be the same general story, music, towns, etc? It's not sounding like it. I did like the Midgar beginning quite a bit though. That could turn out well.

They've gone on record saying that the reason the game is split up into multiple games is because they want to try to fit everything that was in the original game, into this one, with today's visual fidelity.

"If we were to try to fit everything into one installment, we would have to cut various parts and create a condensed version of Final Fantasy VII. But there would be no point in doing that," added Nomura. "For instance, players will be able to explore many different areas of Midgar in this game that they couldn’t access in the original─if we’re remaking this world, we want to add in areas like this and depict them with real detail.

I'm sure some things won't make it into the remake, but where did you get an indication that the game won't feature most of the towns, story, music, etc?

Because SE previously said that a remake of FF7 would take like 20 years to remake the towns. Also, if the story wouldn't make sense with Crisis Core or Dirge of Cerberus, then they must be changing too much. So why would Nomura stop with just the story. Nubuo Uematsu won't he back for the soundtrack. :(
