Upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake is a reimagining of the original title and will feature the well-known characters fans got to know in FF7. According to an interview withVG247and co-director Naoki Hamaguchi, Red XIII won’t be aplayable character.
However,Red XIIIwill battle alongside you as a guest character that acts as AI, rather than you being able to control it like you can with characters such asBarretorTifa. This decision was made as Red appears quite late in the story and making him a “full character” this late in the game, would be a bit time conscious for “character development and growth as a character”. So while Red XIII won’t be a fully playable, at least will be part of the gang in the remake.
We got a chance to check out the demo which released free on Playstation 4 last week, and also have anImpressions videoif you want to know what our thoughts were on gameplay and even classic mode.
