Report Square Enix abandoned all of CyberConnect 2s work on FFVII Remake and started fresh
The issues with Final Fantasy 7 Remakes development are apparently due to Square Enix abandoning all work completed by CyberConnect 2 (well known for producing shovelware licensed anime games) and restarting from scratch.

Square Enix partnered with CyberConnect 2 for assistance with the action gameplay and video quality. However, in 2017 development shifted back to Square Enix internally and ceased to be a cooperative production.

With a change like this, its expected that there will be delays as staff are caught up on the project and work is transferred, but according to one source, the delay was much more significant.

Dan Tsuka is a game designer, living and working in Japan. In a recent Reddit thread discussing the Remakes Art Directors comments, Tsuka posted some eye-opening comments.

Tsuka wrote that Square Enix doesnt have 4 years of work, [it has] 2. He explains that Square Enix didnt take CyberConnect 2s two years of work on the Remake and continue, rather Square Enix started it again because cyber connects(sic) work was just so useless and not far enough along.

Tsuka also claims that CyberConnect 2s work on Final Fantasy 7 Remake was unusable.

Right? idk what the fuck happened. They used to be able to produce quality games at an efficient pace, then the PS3/360 generation came around and it all went to shit

From the article, it looks like the shovelware company they hired was the one screwing up.

Either way, from what we saw before, starting over from scratch is probably a good thing.

Why would they contract one of their most highly anticipated titles out in the first place? And to choose a company with such a bad reputation, it just defies logic

I think people even spotted a cover system in the remake. It's like... wtf?

Well if this news is true I guess we can throw out everything we've seen since it was all trashed

I'm not hard to please I just wanted FFVII with beautiful graphics and the same battle system, maybe some extra stuff added like new bosses or dungeons

They already made something good. Just release it with nicer visuals.

All I want is for them not to fuck up something that's already perfect

lmao.

I'm playing thru FFX at the moment (first time since 02-03) and man I really like what they did with the battle system and sphere grid. Having the option to use all the party members is a lot of fun ----wish they would do that with the remake, but they're going XV's route...so..no TBB for me :(

All they have to do is commission some people to redraw the backgrounds to modern quality standards in HD and insert new models and sell it for 25 dollars on Steam and PSN and people will be happy.

FF7 remake was never going to set the world on fire and is not worth all this development. >_>

I disagree. I love the first game, but I've played it so much it's downright easy now. They should spruce it up a bit to give us FF7 veterans something new to tackle.

Sony sells consoles on false promises. I doubt they care, because they'll just use the delay as a way to sell the PS5.

Honestly? I argue its Enix, even before the merger, the Dragon Quest series was archaic AF and even titles like Star Ocean and Valkyrie Profile could barely gain publicity. FF10 was the last of its kind as well; even FF13 has issues and I personally hate the autobattle wannabe-mmo FF12.

I wonder how many PS3s got sold by Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

But at least KH3 is most definitely indubitably irrefutably coming out this gen.
