Yoshinori Kitase, a director and producer for the Final Fantasy series since VI, confirmed more Final Fantasy VII Remake content will appear in 2023. People can also expect a lot of development for the compilation of FFVII. For 2023, Kitase’s key word is “VII,” and he added that this will be his keyword for several years to come. [Thanks, Famitsu!]

Though the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy VII was in 2022, Kitase still plans on celebrating it with seven different promotions and events. So far, we have seen three of the seven promotions. The first one was a Twitter campaign, and the second one was for Cloud’s birthday. The third one was for the release of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion. For the last one, you could get a Buster Sword body pillow.

More information on the remaining four will appear in the future. Kitase did not state a timeframe for them. It is not on the official Square Enix webpage for the seven campaigns either.

In addition, Kitase plans on releasing more information on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth next year. Unless something changes in the development, the game should come out at the end of 2023.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will appear on the PS5 in Winter 2023. This is the second part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy. As well, more information on the remaining Final Fantasy VII promotional campaigns will appear next year.

There is part 2 and part 3 of the game so far.

Square wants to milk this game so badly.

 

[TheUndeadGamer]

I wonder if there will be any spin-offs announced soon?

 

[Hugare]

They are gonna milk this cow until its dry

I'm definitely gonna play Part 2, but I'm way more hyped for XVI

 

[Secret of Evolution]

Buster Sword Body Pillow

 

[Celcius]

Sounds good to me, I’m buying all the new ff7 games!

 

[feynoob]

Buster Sword Body Pillow

Endorsed by the Italian senate.

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

And the milking continues...

 

[TheDrunkenMerchant]

There's a certain phrase, "too much of a good thing." Star Wars, Walking Dead, Marvel anybody?

Please don't make me despise FFVII, Square.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Dirge of Cerberus needs a remake more than anything.

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

FFVII Remake is dead to me. They ruined every major plot point of the first act of the game, there's no way this can be salvaged

 

[Klosshufvud]

FFVII has been perverted into a brand. They can't let it rest as a game with great legacy. Instead its body is dug up again and paraded through the streets. Compilation has retroactively undermined the original game.

 

[MAtgS]

At this point I half expect a Dissidia with an all 7 cast.

 

[remember_spinal]

i dont see the problem FF7 is a big universe with big ideas.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Yeah, the purists got their plain numbered VII and it sold gangbusters, so I'd say just let them experiment in a world that's wide and familiar to them. The Remake Trilogy is their bread and butter, so far that's everything I hoped.

 

[Damigos]

I would actually love to play as Red XIII in a dystopian Midgar 500 years later

 

[chromhound]

Just like GTA V

 

[poodaddy]

Dirge of Cerberus needs a remake more than anything.

Literally everything about that game was rancid. Why would anyone willingly expose themselves to that again over something more sensible and less painful, such as nerve gas or anthrax.

 

[Power Pro]

All this milking, and yet they still can't actually just recreate the story of Final Fantasy VII. I like FF7 Remake, but at the same time, it's still kind of a bummer that we're not actually a high quality retelling of the original game's story. I'm so blurry on the later parts of the original game's story, and I can't bring myself to get through it all again because of how it's aged every time I try.

They constantly want to sell us media on expanding the original game's story, but I honestly can't remember the later parts of the game anymore, so it's hard to understand.

 

[semiconscious]

i have little if any use for any final fantasy vii content beyond 1997, myself...

 

[Ozzie666]

How about Final Fantasy Tactics set in FF7, FF8 and or FF9.

 

[begotten]

Are they going to do a Yuffie style DLC for Vincent in Part 2 since they were both optional party members in the original?

 

[rickybooby87]

Me anytime I see FFVII:

 

[Boneless]

Give me a proper remaster of the original, no changes to gameplay or story.

 

[SkylineRKR]

FFVII R is its own thing. I wonder how it will pan out, and I expect the worst. But if it was true to the original, I would know exactly how. I don't know now, it seems they literally broke free of the original plot by slashing the whispers.

 

[GymWolf]

The corpse of ff7 rolling into his grave as we speak.

It seems that some still haven't realized what FF7R is suppose to be. The subtitle literally hints at the plot of the game. It was perfectly named to both get people to think it's a tradition remake, while actually meaning what the story is about.

Relax people. The original still exists and hasn't changed lol.

 

[nightmare-slain]

yeah all the major plot points of the first 3 hours of the game

the remake ends when they leave midgar. that's like the tutorial of the original.

if they don't let us visit kalm, chocobo farm, junon, costa del sol, golden saucer etc then i'm not interested. i'm playing the original for the first time and i hope we get to see all those places but it doesn't seem like that's the way they are going with the game.

 

[anthony2690]

I was super interested in this, as it looks like a more faithful remake to FF7 with some nice looking combat, but then I realised it was a mobile game

 

[Lethal01]

FF7 Remake is one of my top 5 games of all time, square's greatest achievement and part 2 and 3 are the games I have the most confidence in loving right now.

I thank god that square is milking this, Pizza needs to get made somehow.

 

[Lethal01]

Literally everything they have said points to the exact opposite of this being true.
What would make you think that they would be removing locations?

 

[I Love Rock 'n' Roll]

I want FFVII chatacters in a Dead or Alive (with the return of the VF cast), in KOF as a team, movies in 4k, and more games!, like a new version of the PSX original.

 

[Chukhopops]

Well they’re not going to fool the people looking for an actual remake a second time, that’s for sure. That trick only works once…

 

[The Pleasure]

No matter what you think, Ff7 R will leave us all like this

 

[delfrickintree]

Seriously. I was super hyped for this until they turned it into mobile only.

 

[The Shepard]

That will be on consoles after it's all out on mobile, same thing with the remasters which got announced recently.

 

[EDMIX]

They'll have the original in HD (the steam one) that was ported over.
FFVII remake Part 1,2 and 3
FFVII Ever Crisis
FFVII Crisis Core remake
FFVII Dirge of Cerberus remake.


annnnnnnnnnnd still fucking complain.

Its just like the people that kept crying over FFXV and then they put out that Chibi Mobile title and it got ported to Switch, PS4 etc and those same folks didn't even buy it. People will find anything to bitch, cry, moan over what have you even if all the options was given to them.

Don't any of you find it odd that Octopath or Bravely Default or World Of Final Fantasy etc is not out here fucking doing circles around FF titles in sales? So I don't really buy this idea that the older style is really, really that much in demand.

So those crying over how FFVII remake is, bet you all the money in the world that Ever Crisis port doesn't even come close to FFVII Remakes sales. I don't see that those that prefer that are the majority even remotely.


Lethal01 Agreed. If it takes 3 parts, then so be it. It was a huge game on PS1 and translating that in to 3D as we know it today doesn't sound like an easy feat. I'd rather have it with great quality, still coming out to play and them taking their time per parts, then some rushed experience.

Folks can also wait for some huge collection with all 3 games mind you (likely 5 as I'm sure Crisis Core and Ever Crisis would get packed in). Steel case, collectors edition....2026 day 1 lol

 

[Spaceman292]

Dirge of Cerberus needs a remake more than anything.

nah

 

[Shake Your Rump]

Goddamn. They said the same thing about Final Fantasy XV, then they squeezed that lemon until abruptly and completely stopping development. What’s different this time around?

 

[chromhound]

I was super interested in this, as it looks like a more faithful remake to FF7 with some nice looking combat, but then I realised it was a mobile game

I wouldn't be surprised if they release it on consoles later

 

[Werewolf Jones]

FF VII remake was bad but INTERMISSION was good.

FF VII extended universe stuff that doesn't include Cloud or Sephiroth is 100% more interesting.

Playing Crisis Core and while it's all good that Sephiroth and Zack are homies... Everything else is whacky or too silly.

 

[Synless]

The beta got pushed to summer 2023 now? God damnit.

 

[Shifty1897]

Buster Sword Body Pillow

I can't wait to dry hump mine.

 

[adamsapple]

Dirge of Cerberus: FFVII R
Unreal Engine 5
Lunite and Numen

LETS GOOOOOOOOO

 

[mortal]

A Realm Reborn is nearly a decade old?

Holy shit, time flys...

Also getting both FFXVI and FFVII Rebirth in one year would be wild. I'm expecting FFVII Rebirth to slip into 2024 tbh.

 

[Rush2112]

Never played the original FFVII. Finished the remake last night. The ending made zero sense to me and i dont even care to know what happened. im just glad its over but not wasting time chasing this nonsensical story. I wasted enough time playing FFXIII saga not gonna repeat the same mistake twice. Fuck cloud and fuck sephiroth and fuck whoever wrote that ending.

Square didn't know WTF they were going to do about the rest of the story... hence the nonsensical ending. Hopefully they have made up their mind.

I dont blame you. To be clear, the original is very different. FFVII is my favorite game of all time. The remake was enjoyable, but its clear that they raped the story.

 

[Knightime_X]

There is part 2 and part 3 of the game so far.

Square wants to milk this game so badly.

No.
FF7 is goddamn HUGE.
People keep forgetting that ff7 was at least a 50 hour game and all you did was run around in pictures.
PICTURES!
The world map was tiny.

To make the game in full 3d will expand upon this massively.
By the time all parts are out, ff7r is going to be like 300+ gigs

But… they already confirmed that it’s going to be 3 parts.
