Nomura remains cryptic in his interview with Official Playstation Magazine, but confirms the battle system in the remake will differ from the original version. However, Nomura goes on to confirm that the system will be distinctly “recognizable;” all of the RPG elements should stay in tact, but differ in the details. In his own words:
…of course, that being said we want to clarify: We’re not going to be changing it into a shooter or something like that. We are going to be bringing dramatic changes, but we want to make sure it’s still recognizable.
