With all this in mind, it’s not really surprising that Square would eventually be tempted to remake the game for modern audiences. “That was something that we wanted to address with Remake - to fill in all those gaps, show how the different parts of the city are connected, and make it a continuous experience.” One of the bespoke areas in Remake is an entire new upper floor for the Shinra Building, which - according to Remake’s co-director Naoki Hamaguchi - adds “a climax that was not in the original.” Interestingly, this upper floor apparently relies on Red XIII to explore, a character Square Enix has confirmed to be unplayable in this first game.
