According to Nomura, the remake had more action than before and he would definitely have to explain the specifics of what the battle system had become to the players.

"I think right now that nobody is really able to imagine a concrete battle, so I'm in the middle of coming up with steps that I can show and explain to people.," Nomura said. "It's this kind of battle," he added.

Developed by Square, "Final Fantasy 7" was initially released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, Microsoft Windows, Android, and iOS in 1997.
