Square Enix producer Yoshinori Kitase has said that he hopes to share Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 news this year and has asked fans to keep an eye out. During the ‘Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier Official Live Stream #1: Final Fantasy VII 25th Anniversary Celebration’ (yes, that’s the title), Kitase teased that people will get the news that they’ve been waiting for… “maybe.” He then added, “I’d like to get the Final Fantasy VII excitement going with everyone over the next year, and so I hope to share more news this year, so please look forward to it.”
We’ve seen several different translations of Kitase’s comments but are going with Gematsu’s translation given the publication’s history. Nevertheless, Square Enix is planning to share something about Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 this year and that’s the gist of it.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 news will mark the game’s 25th anniversary
The original Final Fantasy VII released 25 years ago and further news about its remake will be the perfect way to celebrate its silver jubilee. Both Kitase and Tetsuya Nomura released statements reflecting upon the original release yesterday, thanking fans for their support over the years.
“Final Fantasy VII has re-emerged as the latest game in the series once again, with titles like Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier, and you can look forward to even more exciting new developments in the future!” Kitase said.
Expect more Final Fantasy 7 projects in the future
With the success of Final Fantasy VII Remake and its mobile projects in the works, Square Enix is eyeing even more Final Fantasy VII projects in the future. Nomura confirmed as much in his 25th anniversary message. “There will be even more new Final Fantasy VII projects that started up after the remake coming in the future too,” he wrote. “The team see this 25th anniversary as a waypoint on our journey with Final Fantasy VII, and will continue pressing ahead to even greater things, so please keep supporting us going forward!”
