Final Fantasy 7 Remake Delay Won't Cause Issues For Part 2, Square Enix Says

The Final Fantasy VII Remake is an anticipated title many are waiting for, even with all of the delays. The good news there is that Square Enix says the delays won't affect the next parts of the game.

“Due to the work already done on the first game, we anticipate the development of the second game to be more efficient," Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda said on a recent Square Enix conference call. "We have our own internal schedule and plan, but for now we’d like to focus our information on the first game in the project.”

In a different interview teased on the official Final Fantasy VII Remake Twitter account, Square Enix producer Yoshinori Kitase shed some light on how the second part shouldn't take as long. “Due to the work is already done on the first game we anticipate the development of the second game to be more efficient. We have our own internal schedule and plan, but for now, we’d like to focus our information on the first game in the project,” he said.

Kitase also explained why the first part of Final Fantasy VII Remake focuses on the city of Midgar. “The first game in the project takes place in the eclectic city of Midgar, we chose to focus on Midgar as it best represents the world of VII as a location more than any other," he said. "Midgar is full of imagination with myriad influences and surprises around every corner”

It also remains to be seen whether future chapters of the Final Fantasy VII Remake will be timed PlayStation exclusives; thanks to the delay, the first part won't appear on other platforms until April 2021 at the earliest.
