The original story follows below.
The new book Final Fantasy VII Remake Ultimania recently launched in Japan, featuring factoids about the game and interviews with the development team. Some of those snippets confirm what we already know, while others have co-director Tetsuya Nomura and producer Yoshinori Kitase commenting on Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s story and where it goes from here.
There are some spoilers for FF7 Remake’s ending here, so if you haven’t finished it yet, just go read our FF7R review instead.
The translations of these tidbits come from Gematsu.
The big takeaway from these interviews involves Final Fantasy 7 Remake part two. Nomura and Kitase confirm part two’s development is well underway, which we already knew. What it looks like and how many subparts it has, however, is another matter.
When asked how many parts FF7 Remake will have in total, Nomura said:
Kitase was asked the same question and responded:
So we may get two more big-ish games or some smaller ones… or who knows really.
Either way, the remainder of FF7R’s story is equally up in the air it seems. Twitter user @DHKF_ mentioned another quote from Nomura that says, “I can’t let you know the true meaning of “Remake” yet. Talk to me in a few years (laughs).”
USGamer picked up on a tweet from @aitaikimochi where Kitase says the next parts of the story won’t deviate much from the original.
And yet Kitase also said in the snippets Gematsu translated:
So basically, we have absolutely no idea what we’ll get with the rest of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Maybe that’s for the best though. The original story is over on Gematsu. Stay tuned to GameSkinny for more Final Fantasy 7 Remake news as it develops.
