* RoleReprisal: Steve Burton and Creator/TakahiroSakurai are set to return as Cloud Strife in their respective languages, as is Beau Billingslea as Barret.
* TrollingCreator: Square Enix comes on stage during the 2014 [=PlayStation=] Expo and announces a remastered release of ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', with 1080p original UsefulNotes/PlayStation graphics, to universal derision. Around six months later, at [[UsefulNotes/ElectronicEntertainmentExpo E3]], after an even more derisory CuteEmUp [[VideoGame/WorldOfFinalFantasy version]] of the ''Final Fantasy'' formula... they reveal that the 2014 announcement was, more than likely, to completely obfuscate leaks of THIS game...

George Newburn also reprises his role as Sephiroth in the trailer, although it's yet to be confirmed if he'll remain on in the main game (although, given Square Enix's insistence on retaining voice actors for their respective characters whenever possible, it's pretty likely).

* CreatorBacklash: Much like with ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII'', Creator/TetsuyaNomura has stated his belief that the remake was announced much too early. The reason the for the 2015 reveal was because it was beginning to spread throughout the industry that Square Enix was working on the game and they decided to announce it earlier than they wanted so that they wouldn't be upstaged by the game leaking out.

* CreativeDifferences: Noted by the development staff, as CyberConnect2's style is noted to clash a bit with Creator/SquareEnix's. Nomura was originally going to show off more of their style for the gameplay trailer, but he didn't really like the full result, so more of Square Enix's style was showed off for the gameplay trailer instead.

* IKnewIt: Jim Sterling has anonymous sources at Square Enix, and if you're a long-time viewer of his show ''The Jimquisition'', you probably suspected that this game would be released in episodes, because he more or less said it would happen [[https://youtu.be/vqNuS03k6gI?t=6m55s way back in August 2013]].
** However, while the above can be applied to the 2016 Hitman game, his words are somewhat subverted in that the Final Fantasy VII Remake is being designed to be episodic from the very outset, rather than fully built and retroactively cut into pieces by the publisher.
