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.


Safe to say KH3 will be out first

Square being inefficient and taking forever to put out a Final Fantasy product? Truly this is a fantasy.

FF7Remake will probably be out just before Half-Life 3.

For real

Is that why the game play in the trailers looked so terrible?

I want to be upset about the delay, but imagine the riots if the game came out and it really did have shovelware quality gameplay.

who was dumb enough to think they actually made any progress on this game?

splitting with CC2 is just the excuse they use to buy time, probably paid them chump change to hold onto the project for appearances and now cut them loose once their own teams are done with KH3

Square's Western Studios: falter once even mildly and we'll take your franchise away from you or sell off your studio
Square's Japanese Studios: nah go ahead take 10 years to work on this game, that's totally fine

So if I'm reading this right:

>Give contract to company known for making shit
>Wait two years
>Realize company is making shit and scrap it

There is no wojack pink or angry enough, like how is this possible. This is your guaranteed "in case of emergency, break glass and print money" release Square, ffs.

square should honestly either keep a turnbased system or, if they go action, just give it to platinum games at this pace. it's not like they need to work on a new script - just combine the shit already there across the 5 or 6 games.

If true I'm not surprised at all since SE is a shitty company that can't develop a game without a fuck ton of internal issues and it taking an absurd amount of time that other developers don't need to make the same or bigger sized games.

Given how many huge hits Square have had in the past few years, this project was probably a much lower priority for them than what us fans want it to be.

They could cancel this project outright and it wouldn't really hurt them since they have so many other big projects lined up.
