FINAL FANTASY VII REMAKE
It’s been three full years since the Final Fantasy VII Remake was announced during E3 2015 with a short two minute trailer. Almost no new information save for a gameplay trailer and some concept art have been released since, causing some to wonder if its delayed production will push it back into PS5 territory.
A few months ago in March 2018, a job listing was posted by Square Enix, as translated by Gematsu, saying, “While we are reaching a satisfactory level in terms of reproducing the original title in high-quality graphics, we have come to the conclusion that we should aim for even higher quality in order to meet the expectations of fans.” So essentially, the game is going to take more time as developers work to make the Final Fantasy VII Remake reach the high-standards of anxiously awaiting fans.
Back in May 2017, the development of the remake also shifted to work only being done by the internal teams at Square Enix instead of in partnership with Japanese developer CyberConnect2 as previously stated. It’s reported all the work done by CyberConnect2 was scrapped with the Square Enix team starting from scratch after parting ways.
With so many shifts in development, and hints that even this year the game isn’t reaching the quality level Square Enix is happy with, it seems likely Final Fantasy VII Remake is a ways off and likely will not be a title we see on the PS4.
