From VGC: "Square Enix will make announcements regarding the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy 7 next month.

That’s according to director Tetsuya Nomura, who shared the news during a Japanese live stream focused on the mobile battle royale Final Fantasy VII: The First Soldier on Wednesday.

It’s possible June’s announcements could include the reveal of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2, since Square Enix has previously indicated that it would like to share details on the sequel during this anniversary year."

Excellent😁

[lelo2play]

Not really.
Final Fantasy 15 was crap.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 1 was meh.

Not very hyped for future Final Fantasy games.

Speak for yourself, FFVII Remake was my favorite game last generation. The story was bonkers in FFXV but it was a step in the right direction compared to XIII.

[Michiel1989]

Ill take XIII over XV any day, if i wanted to just mash buttons i would play cookie clicker instead of XV. It was the least interesting combat system ive ever seen in a FF game. FF XIII at least had a comprehensive story, if you wanted to really understand the XV story, you had to watch a movie, an anime and there were some kind of audio logs if im not mistaken.

At least in ff7R they improved on it so mindless bashing doesnt get totally rewarded.

15 was okay considering all the hell it went though. I loved FFVII Remake 1 reminded me of the action RPGs of Square’s past. As for 16, did you not see who’s working on it?! FFXVI is going to be one of the best Final Fantasy titles ever.

[CrimsonWing69]

I think you should replay FF 15, I started it up after getting the Royal Edition I have a real appreciation for this game. It’s really different, but there’s this immersive quality and chill vibe to it that, honestly, I haven’t seen in any other game.

It’s kind of stupid how into the game I’ve gotten. Like, I’m always trying to find new recipes, fishing, exploring for random dungeons and getting material to make OP weapons for how early I am in the game. The Easter eggs and things are fun to see if you’re a fan.

Thought the Deadeye quest was pretty cool. I dunno, I think it’s actually kind of a brilliant game. Is it my favorite FF game? No, I’m the one who thought the series was best from 6-9, but giving 15 another go, I think it’s really good.

[gold_drake]

you're entitled to your nad opinion of course, however, even objectively, FF7rR was amazing.

15 got good when the royal version came out

[MadLad]

Can't wait to spend $60 on another piece of a 25 year old game they decided to reinvent.

[SegaSaturn669]

Hopefully they'll give it away for free on ps plus.

[GoodGuy09]

Will probably be $70 actually

[Muigi]

Or you could wait for it to go on sale lol.

[andy85]

Me neither, and not in a sarcastic way 😂

[Gregero]

$70. You'll spend $70 on another piece of a 25 year old game they'll reinvent in the worst ways by pulling out content that's too "disturbing" for the players. The midgar zolem is gonna be in a little grave with Seph's sword in it because seeing the snake is too graphic like the shinra massacre scene was. Hope youre enjoyin Cancun, man.

[andy85]

Doesn't sound like you've even played it. It was a fantastic game and I got 100 hours out of it. So yes I'll revisit one of my favourite game worlds for $60. What exactly was pulled out of it anyway? The midgar section in the original game is tiny. If anything they added loads to it.

[Eonjay]

For the $60 paid I felt like I got a full game. I'm gonna buy the next part too! And when the last part releases they will probably have a box-set or something decent.

[shinoff2183]

Have you even played.

[CrimsonWing69]

Maybe I'm the minority here, but I'd rather them do these "full-game" pieces than a single game. FF7 Remake didn't feel like a short game and seeing as this is as much as they got done in a lengthy game development process I'm looking forward to what they release next.

Think of how much more grand this game will be once it's done and you can play the "Complete" version? That's beyond epic. We're actually getting more game when you think about it and I don't understand why you'd complain about that. Yea, I get the wait is painful, but man once it'd done it's gonna' be something!

[philm87]

Like everything else, don't buy it if you don't want it. And stop feeling the need to slate everything you don't like that other people do.

[TheTony316]

You obviously won't buy it anyway.

[Nacho_Z]

Someone seems rattled lately.

[dumahim]

2023

[RosweeSon]

Dec 😅🤣 dunno why my mind immediately went to 2024 tho. Sorry guys. I’m sure it’s happening but they keep announcing all these other games and yet to finish this one 🙄🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤣

[MrChow666]

Part 1 was good , I want more

[gangsta_red]

This is one of those times where I disagree with the episodic model especially for FF7.

I think Square should have just released a complete game and only did it this way to capitalize on the FF 7 popularity, but it seems the interest for this has faded.

It especially didn't sit well with people who had the game for PS4 and couldn't play the latest add on that was PS5 only.

[shinoff2183]

i doubt interest has died down. itll sell just as much. Far as my opinion i didnt like it on ps4 originally but i decided to give it another try when i got my ps5 and i enjoyed it. I personally still wouldve liked the old school system of battling and stuff like that. it was basically a hack and slash with some rpg elements. Story was pretty good. Some of us just wanted updated graphics with maybe a little extra content.

[Gregero]

They're probably gonna break it up into 4 or 5 pieces to get the maximum mount of money for what was a single game. Then they're gonna remake each one and do the same. Then they're gonna have a special edition box set that comes with a chocobo sticker or some shit.

[CS7]

The game was a 50 hour JRPG with a new story.

If that is not a complete game then I don’t know what is.

FFVII remade in 4K with the graphics and presentation of Remake is impossible.

There is no game at that scale.

[shinoff2183]

It is not impossible. No way.

[RosweeSon]

I think part1 gives it away 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦 🏻‍♂️🤣

[CS7]

@shinoff

Please name a game with

8 fully controllable characters with unique movesets

[Gregero]

They're RE-remaking FFVII Remake Retrograde. This time it's gonna have Vincente Valentine in the first few hours of the game too cuz why no shove everything into the first few hours and spoil what the rest of the game is about - and it's gonna play on your Tesla, Rivian R1 and smart watches! Pre-download today for $70!

[vTuro24]

Maybe finally a PC version?

[MADGameR]

Cannot wait!!

[Ryuk_2007]

It'll probably be something like gamepass and steam version available now.

[CobraKai]

Yes. I loved the og 7 and loved the remake. I was hoping part 2 would finish the saga, but I feel like there’s so much ground they need to cover still.

[Nerdmaster]

One can only hope they will announce they'll ignore the first part as a Nomura mushroom-trip incident, and announce a true remake instead of the pseudo-sequel Kingdom Hearts-vibe alternate timeline thing we got.

[pietro1212]

Well he got promoted in his role as director so expect nothing less

[Nuvem]

Tetsuya Nomura is not the Director of FF7R anymore sherlock.

[lellkay]

Absolutely loved FF7R. Definitely excited to see part II.
