Final Fantasy 7 Remake: 10 Story Changes That Have Already Happened

10. Hojo Is Watching

In Square's most recent FF7 remake trailer, there appears to be some further expansion on the character of Professor Hojo. His appearance in the original game was limited to a few moments of exposition and a boss fight, so his beefier role in the remake is a welcome one.

Hojo has a deep connection to the overall FF7 mythology, being the devious man behind the SOLDIER program. As one of the major catalysts to the events that led up to FF7's story, it's worth noting that his role in the original game is a little underdeveloped.

So the remake looks to be altering that by showing him keeping a close eye on Cloud, providing his own running commentary.

This allows for Hojo to be a secondary threat after Sephiroth; looming in the background, and should help to further the machinations of Shinra whilst adding some depth to Cloud's storied history.
