Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 has entered full development, and game director Tetsuya Nomura wants to deliver the game “as soon as possible.”
The news arrives thanks to a 15-page interview from an upcoming issue of Japanese games magazine Famitsu, details of which were posted to the Ryokutya blog and later translated by Twitter user Aitaikimochi.

According to the blog source, full development has started for the second part of Final Fantasy 7 Remake, following the first part’s release in April of 2020.

Aitakimochi pulled another interesting quote from the same interview, which details Nomura’s intentions for the second part’s release. “We know that everyone wants the next installment quickly. We would also like to deliver it as soon as possible. Since we were also able to see the line of quality from the first installment, we hope to make the next installment even better in quality that can make for an even better experience,” the quote reads. “We would to get it out as soon as possible, so please wait for it. I think we can clearly convey the direction when we officially announce the next installment.”

Perhaps more interestingly, executive producer Yoshinori Kitase also explained that “The new story of Final Fantasy 7 has only just begun.” That contrasts a little with Kitase’s previous comments, when he said the original game’s story wasn’t being drastically changed.
