Q&A Interview with Kitase:
Q. Why do you think the characters from VII have gained respect through all these years (5-6 years)?
A. Mostly because the VII itself was the first title for the Playstation. With that in mind, characters held their individual mysteries and questions as to what happened after the ending.
IGN's Q. What I'm interested in is why you chose to do a video art and not a game?
A. Game sequel was a possibility, but it's too cheap (lame)... I wanted to see how far it could go as a video medium.
Q. Is it a movie?
A. Haven't decided on how we will release this. Still in discussion...
Q. When did this project begin?
A. About a year ago.
Q. Is Square Pictures involved in the production?
A. Wada: Square Pictures does no longer exist, but the Know-How from the crew is helping out in the project.
Q. Why didn't you make a remake? What is Nomura's approach on this project?
A. Kitase: Remake? Hmmm... Well, FFVII can be played on the PS2 already, and if we were to make a remake, it would be better off spending that time on a new title.
Nomura: The project was already taking shape when I joined the team. My place in this project is to sort out everybody's ideas, what's good and what's not. Cloud looks very different now that he looks a lot more real. The modeling is based off FFX, but is more deformed (less realism). To keep some resemblance, I decided to deform. We're focusing on the atmosphere and the environment, so that's why it could look a lot more realistic...
