More Final Fantasy VII new projects will be coming in the future, according to Tetsuya Nomura.
In a new message shared on social media to celebrate the Final Fantasy VII 25th Anniversary, the character designer and Remake project creative director confirmed that these new projects coming in the future started up after the remake.
And there will be even more new FF7 projects that started up after the remake coming in future too. The team see this 25th anniversary as a waypoint on our journey with FF7, and will continue pressing ahead to even greater things, so please keep supporting us going forward!
Director and producer Yoshinori Kitase also teased even more exciting developments in the future for Final Fantasy VII.
FF7 has re-emerged as the latest game in the series once again, with titles like Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 The First Soldier, and you can look forward to even more exciting new developments in future!

Interestingly enough, neither Nomura nor Kitase made any mention of the second part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake, so it seems like it will still take some time to learn more about it. With more information on Final Fantasy XVI coming later this year, it’s likely that Square Enix will focus on the latest entry in the series before revealing what will be next for the remake project.
The first part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake is now available on PC, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. You can learn more about it by reading my review of the PlayStation 5 release.
While it is the same game at heart, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade brings the first part of the remake to new heights with a 60 FPS gameplay option, some quality of life enhancements, much improved visuals, and a very fun new story episode starring Yuffie. The new tweaks and additions do not alter how the game feels and play, but there is no denying that they do make Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade the best way to enjoy one of the best role-playing games put out by Square Enix in the past few years.
