Comments from Creative Director Tetsuya Nomura



As announced, four "FFVII" projects are currently running.
Although the roles of each of the four projects are different, the worldview and characters of "FFVII" are linked to each other with high quality. I am involved in this project as someone who knows the intentions and thoughts that went into the creation of each of these games at the time of their original development.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth" is a game that can be enjoyed by those who know the original game as well as those who do not. Perhaps you may even enjoy it if you start with this second film. Cloud and his friends' new journey begins with this film. I can't wait to share with you the subtitle of the first film, "REMAKE," and the second film, "REBIRTH," and what the third film will be about and where this journey will take us. I can't wait to share with you where this journey will take us.
Development has been progressing at top speed since we came on board, and it is rare to find a title of this scale that is connected from start to finish before production begins. Some parts have already entered the development of the third work, and I myself have begun production toward completion.
I will continue to work hard to deliver this title to everyone with the same level of enthusiasm, and to run through to its completion. I would also like to ask for your continued support for the other 25th anniversary projects that will connect "FF7R" with "FF7R".

Producer Yoshinori Kitase comments



We are pleased to announce that our second title "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth" will be released next winter, three years after the previous title was released in April 2020. 3 years may seem like a long time to fans who have been waiting for this title, but development is progressing at an astonishing speed for an HD title of this scale. However, development is progressing at an astonishing speed for an HD title of this scale.

The second film in a trilogy can be very difficult to produce, but on the other hand, there have been many masterpieces in the form of movies, which are often the best films for fans, with shocking storylines and more in-depth character portrayals.
We are aiming to make "Final Fantasy VII Rebirth" a work that will touch the hearts of fans even more than its predecessor. Please wait for a while for its completion.
