Nomura told Famitsu (via Gematsu) that enemy encounters in "Final Fantasy 7" remake are not as random as it was in the original "Fina Fantasy VII" as it is more "seamless" and players can see the paths laid out in front of them. It may not make as much sense for players to just wander around aimlessly and expect that doing so will still work.

The game director noted that player's need to take cover in order to avoid enemies or at least give the element of surprise when players attack them unnoticed. Nomura stated that exploring certain areas and whether or not players will choose interact with enemies might bring something different in "Final Fantasy 7" remake, separating it from the original.

Specifically, these new mechanics could be hinting that the random encounters that were prominently featured in "Final Fantasy VII" may no longer be included in the remake, or at the very least, they may be limited this time around.

Potentially doing away with random encounters or even just having them take place less frequently would certainly help make exploration easier. Players who were previously frustrated by how certain areas could feature seemingly higher encounter rates may be pleased by this possible change as well.

Nomura stated before that "Final Fantasy 7" remake will be more action-based and will not longer need for turne-based gameplay. Materia will be something different in the remake as it is "skill" based and it will be separate from magic.
