>Final Fantasy VII Remake expands on the Midgar story arc significantly. When developing the game, how did you decide on the parts that you wanted to expand?
>Kitase: I personally envisioned quite a dramatic change overall, but our director; Tetsuya Nomura and co-director; Naoki Hamaguchi, wanted to keep the beloved aspects in the original as much as possible. Eventually the development team decided to focus on respecting the original while adding in new elements, ensuring a delicate balance between the two.

>Nomura: I sometimes watch videos where people are analyzing or reacting to things I have worked on and see the word “Nomuraism” associated with lines or concepts I didn't even write
>Nomura: I see things like “this feels very Nomura to me” being said, and I think to myself “but that literally was not me…” (laughs)
