Pirat_Nation 🔴(@Pirat_Nation):Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director says there’s no “clear cut” answer on whether newcomers should play the original 1997 Final Fantasy 7 before the Remake trilogy. Hamaguchi says the original story is “very much enshrined” in the Remake trilogy, so knowing what happened in the original can make it easier to notice what’s changing and “get more out of it.” He says experiencing the story for the first time with the trilogy’s “modern graphical splendor” could make its emotional impact stronger. “It’s down to people’s preferences,” Hamaguchi concludes. “It’s not as clear cut as one way or the other.”
