Ngaphandle kokungabaza, kulo nyaka kuphume imidlalo emikhulu, eminye yayo abantu abebeyilindile isikhathi eside. Enye yalezo, kunjalo, I-Final Fantasy i-7 Isilondolozi. Ingxenye yokuqala yochungechunge lwe-RPG yanikeza abalandeli abaningi icala eliqinile le-nostalgia, futhi siyakwazi lokho Ingxenye 2 iyaqhubeka nokuthuthuka. Kodwa labo abaqede ingxenye yokuqala bayazi ukuthi isiwombe sakamuva somdlalo sithathe inguquko, okuyinto abalandeli asebehlukene kakhulu ngayo. Hhayi-ke, kubonakala sengathi esinye seziqu Abaqondisi Abadidiyeli bekufanele simise ezinye zazo.
Engxoxweni entsha noFamitsu, uTetsuya Nomura uthe sekukonke ukuthuthukiswa komdlalo kuhambe kahle ngaphandle kokungqubuzana okuningi noma izingxabano kusukela kwanqunywa izinhlelo eziyisisekelo kudala. Ngokumangalisayo, uthe ngemibono eminingi engxenyeni yesibili yomdlalo, lapho indaba iqala ukuhlukana kakhulu nesakhiwo sokuqala, "wayeyi-stopper" yabaningi balabo (sibonga umsebenzisi we-Reddit. MKillerby ukuloba nokuhumusha).
“Ngoba uhlelo lwe-I-FF7 Remake' kwanqunywa kwasekuqaleni, azikho izingxabano. Nokho, kumuntu nomuntu kwakunokwehluka ngezindlela zokucabanga ngakho kwaba nezimo lapho kwakuvela khona izingxabano ngokuthi kungakanani okufanele kushintshwe, ngokungalindelekile engxenyeni yesibili kwakunezimo eziningi lapho ngiba isivimbeli (esicabheni) [ehleka].”
Lokhu kuhambisana nalokho omunye wabakhiqizi uthe ekuqaleni konyaka mayelana nokufuna ushintsho olukhulu endabeni yokuqala. Kukhona okuhlekisayo lapha njengalabo abajwayele uNomura nomsebenzi wakhe njengomkhonto weqembu Kingdom Hearts i-franchise (esiphenduke indida ngisho nabalandeli abaqinile sekumele bathathe umzuzu), bacabange ukuthi uyena owenze izinguquko ezinkulu ezahlukweni zakamuva. Empeleni kubonakala sengathi nguyena obegcina umkhumbi eduze kwamathrekhi ngangokunokwenzeka.
