If there was still any doubt that the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy isn't going to be a 1-for-1 reimagining of the original game, Square Enix added to the pile of evidences that it isn't.
Creative Business Unit I confirmed that the upcoming sequel will introduce entirely new cities absent from the original PlayStation game. This development is a clear indication of the studio's commitment to deepen the narrative and enrich the world of this beloved franchise. The addition of new locations, including the previously unknown Crow's Nest, marks a distinct effort to broaden the scope of the game beyond its celebrated predecessor.
Director Naoki Hamaguchi, in an interview with Game Informer, detailed the inclusion of new cities like Crow's Nest, a sister town to the classic Under Junon from the classic title. The additions aren't just mere extensions but strategically integrated into the game's narrative and world-building. Crow's Nest, for example, is an anti-Shinra settlement, offering itself as a hub for side quests and mini-games, significantly enhancing the player's experience.
