Square claimed it wouldn’t take as long for Part 2 of Final Fantasy 7 Remake to show up as it did for Part 1, but….Square says a lot of things. We haven’t heard a peep out of the project since the PS5 version of Part 1 with the extra Yuffie chapter was introduced. BUUUUT….that could change shortly.
Square just announced a ten-minute stream devoted to upcoming Final Fantasy projects will take place June 16. That’s next Thursday. In particular, they are promising viewers “a first look at all the information surrounding the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy 7″…an anniversary they surely wouldn’t want to let pass without some kind of hints at the future, right?
We don’t know specifically what hints they have planned, though. At the moment, Square produces quite a few things with FF7 characters in them. They’re planning to release an RPG for mobile phones called Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis, and there’s a growing line of merch with Cloud, Tifa and the crew on it. FF7R director Tetsuya Nomura has also hinted at things that have yet be revealed, that aren’t the game he’s working on. “There will be even more new Final Fantasy 7 projects that started up after the remake coming in the future too,” he said a few months ago. “The team see this 25th anniversary as a waypoint on our journey with Final Fantasy 7, and will continue pressing ahead to even greater things.”
If past presentations are any indication, what awaits us on June 16 are a bunch of trailers for mobile and merch that no one cares about, followed by one precious trailer of something good at the end. Odds are good that thing is FF7 Remake Part 2. We’ll find out.
