I actually hope the reply is “sure”

A Last Fantasy VII Remake open world affirmation is coming finally for “Half 2” (Rebirth), as Sq. Enix has mentioned that they’ll inform us with the subsequent announcement. Till then, we now have a bit extra data! Gematsu rounded up interviews from 4Gamer, Dengeki On-line, Famitsu, and Gamer.ne.jp, and whereas some feedback concerned “extra data to return,” we did get some kernels of stuff, which, for Last Fantasy followers, is usually thought to be a meal.

Sq. Enix says that one of many causes they waited so lengthy to announce Rebirth is as a result of “they weren’t certain if it was going to be a two-part” Remake or a part of a trilogy, which strains up with just about the whole lot we’ve identified about their planning course of up to now few a long time. Additionally they reiterated the event technique, noting that the “half” construction allowed not simply key members of the staff to proceed on into Rebirth, however the bulk of the squad as effectively. At present, Rebirth is within the “mass manufacturing stage,” and the “fundamentals” are completed — so This autumn 2023 appears cheap (although with Sq. Enix, I’d realistically count on one other delay). As for the third recreation, “plot and situation work” is already being executed.

So we don’t have open world affirmation but, however we do know that Sq. Enix is being very protecting of the “picture of the unique,” and that the second half might be “fairly large.” That quote sort of shifts the Last Fantasy VII Remake open world potential to the “sure” aspect (as does the affirmation that the “PS5 was wanted to journey the world comfortably” as a consequence of its SSD velocity), however I’m not anticipating it at this level.

Exterior of that no main alterations are being executed to character fashions (past “touch-ups”) and the “point of interest of the story hasn’t modified,” however there “might be some adjustments” to accommodate the trilogy basis. The purpose is to “basically not reduce something,” so issues may seem out of order, however ideally, the crux needs to be there (so snowboarding then?).

When coupled with the Disaster Core confirmations, it’s clear that the Last Fantasy VII sub-universe is alive and effectively, and right here to say for the foreseeable future. I wouldn’t be stunned to see a number of extra spinoffs by the point we get to the third “half” of the remake trilogy.
