Developer comments regarding "FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH"! The release date is currently being adjusted!

News

Square Enix's "FINAL FANTASY" series is scheduled to release its latest numbered title " FINAL FANTASY XVI " on June 22, 2023 (Thursday). Since the game will be released simultaneously around the world, there will be an increase in the number of requests for time off from work on the day of release. If you have a lot of vacations in the same department, you may not be able to take a vacation, so be sure to apply for FF vacation as soon as possible! Since the release of "FINAL FANTASY XVI" is coming soon, we tend to talk about "FINAL FANTASY XVI" more and more, but the FF series has been working on various projects in parallel, and information on many big projects are being released one after another. Among these, the "FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE" series, which will fully remake "FINAL FANTASY VII," one of the most popular games in the series, will be the focus of particular attention. The title and announcement trailer for the second installment of the trilogy, " FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH," will be released at the "FINAL FANTASY VII 25th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION" in June 2022. However, there has been no new information since then. As of 2022, it was announced that the release date would be next winter, in other words, from the end of 2023 to the beginning of 2024, so it was thought that there would be no more information by now, but a developer comment was announced on the official "FFVII REMAKE" Twitter!


The release date is being adjusted! A story with a high degree of freedom!

The official Twitter (@FFVIIR_CLOUD) of "FFVII REMAKE" has released a developer's comment regarding "FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH". If the release date is not postponed, it will be about 6 months before the scheduled release date, so we are very happy to hear the new information. The developers will answer each question in a question-and-answer format, and three comments will be released by June 4, 2023 (Sun.).

I'm glad to hear that the game is going to be as epic and freeform as we've come to expect, but more than anything, isn't the fact that you're "in the process of adjusting the release date" a sign that you have a certain amount of time frame in mind for development? If that is the case, there is a possibility that new information and a new trailer will be released, if not a release date, in the not-too-distant future, so let's look forward to further news!
