Nomura responded, "Not everyone may know this, but I'm remaking Final Fantasy VII… (laughs). Right now I'm concentrating on Kingdom Hearts III, but when that's finished, VII will be where I head next. I'm thinking about ideas regarding the remake's release—I even spoke to producer Kitase about it today. All of us old-timers are considering various developments in regards to what accompanies the remake. Like if we can manage to do something about the Compilation [of Final Fantasy VII] titles too. But for the time being, please wait for VII's turn to come."

This is the next big thing for SE Japan after Kingdom Hearts 3 ships right?

At least that should mean its probably only 3-5 years away.

Compilation of Final Fantasy VII Remake

This means we're going to get Dirge of Cerberus 4K/VR!

I thought Nomura was just the original artist for FF7, is he directing or producing the remake? I really hope that's not the case.

I was going to say maybe focus on getting the first game episode out but apparently making a billion side pieces of media worked for FFXV so who knows.

Hold your horses, Mr. Nomura. First let's see if you can deliver Episode 1 of the remake before you retire.

I just hope Kitase & team are doing the heavy lifting right now while Nomura is wrapping KH3.

I refuse to believe this project has just been sitting around waiting for Nomura. :(

Crisis Core and Dirge of Cerberus remasters pretty much confirmed then. Not surprising considering SE are remastering anything these days.

I'd love it if they did something with Before Crisis.

I wonder if this gives us any clues as to when we'll see VII part 1. I still think part 1 will be next Christmas or early 2020. Potentially we could see some remasters to fill the gaps between parts.

It also suggests that because they're now thinking about how to support the remake, they're in a position where they're confident it's gonna turn out well. They've been saying that for a while but it's interesting nonetheless.

No one wants the compilation stuff. Maybe have Hexadrive do a quickie HD remaster of Crisis Core but I can't see anything else being worth it.

I'd rather see Ivalice stuff remastered tbh.

Hilarious. It sounds like they are waiting for the release of KH3 before they even begin with the development of the FF VII Remake.
I know it's not the case, but considering the troubled development a fresh start could perhaps help?

Am I hallucinating or was this getting remade while completely ignoring the (snort) larger FFVII universe?

So that's where all the hubbub went. To KH3. Well based on what i've seen of KH3, it looks worth it. I can wait for FF7R if i get what im seeing out of KH3 out of that.

Also, give me a crisis core remake Nomura. And bring back ishimoto for soundtrack!

I have no faith whatsoever in this remake being anything remotely good.

I mean look at FF XV sure you gave us plenty of eye candy and bromance , but the rest of the story is disjointed the gameplay is atrocious etc etc ...

FF XII wasn't bad it was an awkward compromise but at least it still felt like you were somewhat in control of the squad. In XV your teamates are useless and you can't even control them. This obsession with getting rid of turn based gameplay led Square Astray and nothing they put out these days pleases RPG fans and others just don't join anyway because "it's silly corny weeabo shit" ...

It's about time Square admits they were wrong and back pedal and return to form really ...

It's so obvious they're going to use a similar strategy as FFXV. They're going to release 10 companion products to the actual game that will all be of dubious quality in order to have more revenue streams and it will just be another stain on the original game the same way it happened with Compilation of FF7.

I miss the times of Sakaguchi. It really seems the franchise lost it's core when it's creator left.

It wouldn't be SE if they didn't let Nomura have 10 years per game while cancelling everything else that looks good.

Maybe they will release Crisis Core as a movie to serve as prologue to the remake. This would spoil the biggest plot twist of FFVII though.

Can't wait to get the movie, free anime episode and then series to accompany the game announcement, and then Nomura being replaced by Tabata for head of the team



wait............this sounds all familiar
