He then mentioned that due to the depth of Final Fantasy 6, its content, and characters, it would take twice as much time as Final Fantasy 7 Remake to develop and market it. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth will arrive on February 29, four years after the previous game and nine years after its announcement. However, the project would be very challenging, and Kitase indicated that he could not think about it until the trilogy was completed.
The same factors affecting the remake of Final Fantasy 6 could apparently apply to the remake of Final Fantasy 7. The story, world, quests, and practically all other elements of the remake have been changed to create a modern version. So, Square Enix certainly didn’t mind completely reorganizing the original in this case.
