Final Fantasy VII Remake producer Yoshinori Kitase says Square Enix is more likely to invest in new titles than remakes. Speaking at Lucca Comics & Games, he said the company is “more likely to invest in new titles and new games” once the Remake trilogy is done. He added that remakes can still happen when the original creators have strong feelings about a project, as they did with Final Fantasy VII. He also sees no reason future games or TV series based on Final Fantasy stories couldn’t happen.

FINAL FANTASY VII EVER CRISIS has ended service. Square Enix shut the global and Japanese versions down on Oct. 6, 2026, a little under three years after the September 2023 launch. No offline version came with the farewell. Producer Shoichi Ichikawa said the team could not keep the quality expected of a Final Fantasy VII title. The stated problem was the cost of character weapons and gear against demand, plus keeping the visuals high without one party dominating. So the servers did not die in silence. The producer said the gear stopped paying for the standard the name required.

Final Fantasy VII Remake director Naoki Hamaguchi would buy a Witcher 3 remake on day one. He does not want to build it. In a Radio Times Gaming interview, he said being put in charge would give him “goosebumps,” and that it would be “far too much to handle.” He pointed to the size of the open world and the branched quests running through it. His own work, he said, only made him respect the Polish team more.
