So there are no new characters, then, but, because he's a sly cheat, Nomura has since qualified his historical comments to only refer to main characters - ie, major, plot-relevant chaps such as Cloud, Aerith, and Big Bro.

The creative visionary wrote on the official Square Enix blog that although he said in past interviews there'd be no new folk, basically, he lied. "Though they aren’t main characters, their numbers ended up growing considerably in the process of creating a rich depiction of Midgar,” he admitted.

Nomura didn't go into further detail about any of the fresh faces set to populate the slums, but he did note that the game's first third will boast all new bosses, bolstering the drama of the story.

"When you think of Midgar’s final boss, you probably think of the M.O.T.O.R.," he mused. "In this game, new bosses will appear and add to the excitement of the story even more."

Again, the Square Enix veteran remained mum on exactitudes, but on the basis that less is more, more can only be even more, right?

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
