Final Fantasy VII Remake Producer Says Future Entries Will Be Released on a Quicker Basis

Gamers don't know how many games the Final Fantasy VII Remake will be split across, but the title's producer has said that those future entries will have a quicker development time than the experience that kicks things off in March 2020.

Good news I trust Kitase, every game he's directed has got 90-95 on metacritic. Chrono Trigger, FF6, FF7, FF8 and FF10.

[3rdstar]

Except he's not the director this time. Merely the producer

I wish he would go back to directing.

as long as they r perfectly polished and complete ok .....if they just make the 1st one well made and the rest quick cheapy DLC like then i wont buy

[Eamon]

It's Nomura and Kitase. I'm pretty sure despite their titles, they're working very closely together. After all, Kitase directed FF7 and Nomura was a part of the core team.

[I_am_Batman]

While that's true, in practice those positions aren't always as cut-and-dry as they sound on paper. Nomura and Kitase have known each other for decades and clearly respect each other. Kitase was the game director on the original, so I'm sure he is consulted in a lot of key decisions during game development.

Considering that Kitase hasn't directed a game in a long time and that the remake takes a more action oriented style it probably makes more sense to have Nomura direct it and have Kitase in a supervisor and consultant role.

Adding the world map for the next-generation of consoles is a smart move. Imagine how seamless everything will be with that hardware.

And the game engine is complete a long time ago. So I think this will go smoothly.

[spambot0815]

obviously... if the base is set, you can expand from there.

Man I am not buying a Quarter of a game for 60 dollars I am one of the biggest ff7 fans there is it’s just seems like this is a big cash grab for Square. Notice that they never Mention how much the order episodes will costs we may be paying 180 for this remake when its all done

[NovusTerminus]

The first release runs 2 blurays... That is not a cash grab, this is just the only feasible way to remake a game of this scale with devs costs as high as they are now.

Would I prefer a single release? Sure.
Would SE be able to fund it like that for a $60 game? No.

how ignorant are you? lol you realize this game is fully 3d? that means no more painted and static backgrounds to walk into in midgar; it means they had to fully realize every nook, every npc. This isn't a simple HD port Snake, the producers said midgar alone will be the size of a whole final fantasy game. The fact that the game will take up 2 discs for just midgar (Something never done on any ps4 or xbox game ever) should be telling. Not to mention that but the fact that everything is voiced now and there are new story elements. This will be far superior to the original if it goes as it is going.

this entry will be 60+ hours of gameplay while the original ff7 can be completed in the whole story in the same time. So think about that; we are getting a much expanded universe. Stop being so self entitled lol. Though if you want to wait for the trilogy collection then go for it.

[Snakeking33]

Yeah 60 hours of gameplay that was not important in the original or have any relevance to the main game you are just getting a padded 1st disk of the original game that did not happen and of crap you don’t really care about I can tell from the trailer the going to have back stories of barret buddies that dies in the first disk let’s be real do you really care

[Applejack]

Hopefully that’s really the case especially since KH3 is off their shoulders.

[Gardenia]

What? I just read the opposite on the same page here

[Kaedro]

Exactly, me to. Their messaging is highly worrisome. They are sending mixed messages and haven't even planned how many parts the entire game will be divided into nor until which part the second game will be. I want this to succeed so much. But I'm very worried.

[XxSPIDEYxX]

Oh it definitely will get quicker releases once they see how ridiculously well it sells. With the scale they're going for, I wouldn't be surprised if we got more than 3 games.

[MadLad]

I mean, I'm 27.
I don't exactly want to be finishing this f****r when I'm nearing 40.

[AnnaDea]

I was 12 years old when FF VII was released back in november 1997.

No worries mate, you will love the game in whatever age you will be in.

[MadLad]

True.
But we got to play it all in one go then, lol.

[Chaosdreams]

I highly doubt it. There's already conflicting messaging on what their plans are for the following games. I'd like for the games to be released within a reasonable amount of time but with Square Enix, I've learned that a reasonable amount of time means sometime during the remainder of my life.

[Horseygamer]

probably started on the concept dev already

[Sgt_Slaughter]

Just the other day we were told this isn't the case, so which is correct? Will it be quicker or will it still be slow?

[pietro1212]

Square is going all out on the remake, and I can't wait to see how it all turns out.
