Nintenderos has published a new interview with Naoki Hamaguchi, the lead developer behind this ambitious Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy. Mr. Hamaguchi says he is aware that they need to grow the potential of the acclaimed Final Fantasy brand as a whole for the next generation. Here’s what he had to say:
Now that the trilogy is nearing its conclusion, do you already have an idea of what kind of game you’d like to create next? Would you prefer to continue with Final Fantasy or explore something completely new?
We are constantly updating our vision on what kind of experiences we can offer next.
As the Final Fantasy VII remake project nears completion, I want to meet the expectations of fans who desire even more depth in this world and its characters. At the same time, I am very aware of the need to consider how we can expand the potential of the Final Fantasy franchise as a whole for the next generation.
On the other hand, as the creator of these works, if there is a demand for new and unique experiences that differ from what we have done so far, I am also eager to face those challenges.
While I may not be able to do everything at once, I’m not only a game director, but also head of one of the studios within Square Enix . Looking ahead, the number of projects I oversee as head of studio will likely increase. Regardless of the form they take, I will continue to deliver engaging experiences to the game fans who have high expectations of both me, Naoki Hamaguchi, and the work of my studio. That commitment will not change.
