Final Fantasy 7 Remake made it abundantly clear that Square Enix’s trilogy of FF7 remakes was going to have no qualms about deviating significantly from the original game’s storyline, but in the end, the trilogy is still going to link up with Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children, the animated CG movie set after the events of the original PS1 title.
“We are finally going to link up with Advent Children, that is going to be part of canon,” Kitase said.
“The overall storyline, the developments, will not go wildly out in a way that will not add up to Advent Children in the end.
Ultimately, we’re not trying to change the Final Fantasy 7 story into something really different.
