Final Fantasy 7 Remake Director Tetsuya Nomura Promises ‘Even More New FFVII Projects’ In The Future

2022 is a special year for Square Enix’s Final Fantasy franchise. Not only is it the series’ 35th anniversary, but it’s also the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy VII (take a moment to breathe if you need it – that one hit us like a gut punch, too). 

Yoshinori kitase (FF7) director, and Tetsuya nomura (Final Fantasy 7 Remake) director shared their feelings about the series in celebration of the 25th anniversary. The two also revealed some new developments in the universe of FF7 games. 

“With all of these exciting projects [FF7 Remake, Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier, Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis], I get a real sense of how more and more people are supporting FFVII,” Nomura writes in a new message released by Square Enix on Twitter. “Not just the fans from the original game, but also those who never experienced it are being drawn to the unique world of FFVII. And there will be even more new FFVII projects that started up after the remake coming in the future too.” 

It is obvious what future projects might be: FF7 Part 2 or whatever the title of this sequel. Nomura stated that these projects were started after the remake. Therefore, it makes sense to have a sequel. However, Nomura said “projects,” plural, meaning that even if a FF7 Remake sequel is one upcoming game, there’s still likely another FF7-related project in the works. The director doesn’t specifically mention games, though, so perhaps he’s referring to a special FF7 orchestra show or something like that. 

Video Games ChronicleKitase, according to reports, said that he plans to unveil the sequel to FF7 Remake next year during an anniversary stream. 

“We are hart at work on Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis, so please look forward to that,” Kitase said, according to VGC. “In addition, with regards to the long awaited Final Fantasy VII Remake [sequel]…there will be more information…this year if we can.”
