Meanwhile, there are reports suggesting that the combat system for the 'Final Fantasy 7' remake will incorporate some 'dramatic changes." This was revealed by the game's director Tetsuya Nomura, who stated that the changes that to be introduced to the game's combat system will be designed to give it a new feel. Gamespot report that at the same time, Nomura said that they would be cautious not to change things too much.
