It’s been three years since we’ve seen anything from Square Enix regarding its episodic remake of Final Fantasy VII. The game was a no-show again at E3 this year, but it remains in development, according to Tetsuya Nomura, who has a hand in the title along with directingKingdom Hearts III. “We are developing [Final Fantasy VII] in parallel, and it’s not just in the early concept stages,” he tells The Verge. “We are actually in development.”

The longtime Square Enix developer says he’s been giving equal effort to both highly anticipated games. “So right now, it’s like I’ve been putting in 100 percent into Kingdom Hearts, 100 percent intoFinal Fantasy VII, 100 percent into Kingdom Hearts... just going back and forth,” he says. “It’s just like [working on] two titles is just going to be one [after Kingdom Hearts III’s launch]. That’s pretty much how I see it.”

Maybe it will only take 13 years to develop like Kingdom Hearts 3.

You know, I have to admit, as an outsider looking in ... I don't know. There's kind of a ... beautiful mystique ... behind Square Enix's madness. Like, I'm not even into their games, but just knowing they are pouring so much talent and money into these large huge projects that take years and multiple delays is kind of oddly intriguing. You know when these launch they'll be some of the most hyped games. Perhaps even some of the most polished from a gameplay and graphics perspective.

Well I just hope with the release of KH3 early next year that Nomura can solely focus on FF7 Remake now and at least get Episode 1 out asap so we know that they're actually serious about it.

Capcom did it right with Resident Evil 2 remake. Showed the actual gameplay and a release date within 8 months! Square needs to learn from this.

Square Enix is extremely ambitious. They spent many generations setting the bar from a game and tech perspective and that fire hasnt burnt out in todays time.

"some men just want to watch the world burn" 

*Que piano music* 

*eyeroll*

RE2 Remake was announced in 2015. Then CAPCOM went totally silent about the game untill a few days ago, which is why I dont necessarily blame you for forgetting that.

For those that doubt Xxain, here enjoy the announcement. A lot of people need to stop acting like this really came out of the blue. 

Quien mucho abarca, poco aprieta, Mr. Nomura. Focus and finish one game before starting another one.
