Website Gematsu listed some other details from these interviews that help shed some light on what exactly is being accomplished in this remake:
-
They want add to and delver further into the Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie characters.
-
They have an idea about the number of installments that will be released, but they’re not at the stage where they can say anything.
-
They’re not talking about online right now.
-
The scenario of the first part up until its ending is already complete.
-
They’re getting technological assistance from the Kingdom Hearts team with Unreal Engine 4, since they’ve been using it with Kingdom Hearts III.
-
Cloud’s hallucination scenes will be more meaningful.
-
As for the cast, they’re continuing plans with the voice actors from Advent Children, but there are some that still haven’t been offered yet. Red XIII only made a cameo appearance, so his voice is likely to be changed.
-
Separate from Limit Breaks, there is another unique system. They can’t show it yet, but … it’ll be different depending on the player’s fighting style.
-
Nothing has been decided about guarding yet.
So there you have it. There’s a plethora of information to be taken away from this, and it seems as though a great deal of progress has already been made in this game’s development. With the assistance from some individuals on the Kingdom Hearts 3 development team, time gaining familiarity with the Unreal Engine 4 is being cut down, it appears, significantly.
