FF7 Remake director had to tell his team to 'be reasonable' because they got too excited about the FF14 crossover: 'That would be putting the cart before the horse'
Worlds collide.
Final Fantasy 14's upcoming crossover event with Final Fantasy 7 will see both the raid series and alliance raid series feature a crossover. While the alliance raid series crossover will be an Evangelion merge, the raid series crossover will be a more reasonable FF7 one. This isn't the first time the MMO has had crossovers with other Final Fantasy titles, such as events with Final Fantasy 15 or the Omega raid series in Stormblood.
However, during a recent interview with GamesRadar+, both FF7 remake director Naoki Hamaguchi and producer of FF14 Naoki Yoshida had to remind their team to "be reasonable" and "calm down" due to the excitement surrounding the crossover. Hamaguchi specifically instructed his team to assess their bandwidth to determine what is realistic and ensure they can deliver their best work.
This approach, while necessary, may have caused some strain on Creative Studio 3's resources, leading to limited resources and single difficulty settings for the first Forked Tower raid of Dawntrail. The criticism has been so severe that Yoshida and co. are now making significant changes to Evercold, a reassuring sign that things are on track.
