Final Fantasy 7 crossdressing scene took the most work in Remake development Square EnixPreparing the Final Fantasy 7 Remake\u2019s crossdressing dance sequence was more trouble than first thought according to the game\u2019s co-director who detailed the lengthy process. The Final Fantasy 7 Remake took many years of development and underwent many changes from the original to modernize it for current-day audiences and newcomers alike. Combat was given a big overhaul while the size and scope of the original title were expanded, leading to a three-part trilogy with Final Fantasy Rebirth up next. Given how much has changed in terms of culture and societal norms, there were question marks over whether or not Cloud Strife\u2019s crossdressing quest would be scrapped, instead, the game\u2019s co-director has revealed how much the team embraced it to the extent it ate up a ton of development time. Famous Final Fantasy 7 scene was given a bigger spotlight Motomu Toriyama, one of the remake\u2019s several co-directors, recently outlined in a Square Enix post how much effort the team actually put into the Honeybee Inn part of the game, specifically, the dance routine. \u201cWe had decided to change the original FFVII\u2019s Honeybee Inn episode from a gender free perspective right from the start of development. We remade the whole scene as a song and dance show, in order to make it the big stage for Cloud\u2019s cross-dressing event and to give it a \u201cmaximum showbusiness\u201d vibe as part of the Remake story,\u201d Toriyama said. In the original game, Cloud needs to acquire women\u2019s clothes and infiltrate Don Corneo\u2019s mansion, but the FF7 Remake goes one step farther and makes a literal song and dance about the scenario. Toriyama also added: \u201cWe collected together references of dance shows and decided on an overall direction, then tentatively edited that footage together while adding music and lyrics, before going even further and setting down the choreography. I think that just that preparatory phase here took up the longest period in the whole development.\u201d The game\u2019s cutscene director Hidekazu Miyake also said: \u201cWe put together a concept video based on cabaret show reviews and then had the choreography worked up based on that reference and the music.\u201d No time or expense was spared for the sequence, clearly, and it shows as the section of gameplay was widely praised and celebrated. Square Enix definitely added new touches and changed things up with the Part 1 remake, so all eyes are on Final Fantasy Rebirth, as well as Part 3, and maybe Crisis Core too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
