Final Fantasy 7 Director Talks Future Beyond the Remake Trilogy
Naoki Hamaguchi, director of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, has revealed he is looking ahead to his next project once the series concludes. The trilogy, which began with the 2020 remake of the 1997 classic PlayStation title, will wrap up with Final Fantasy 7: Revelation scheduled for spring 2027.
In a recent interview with Game Informer, Hamaguchi discussed his plans beyond the ambitious trilogy. While he expressed readiness to move on to something new, he indicated a desire to remain within the JRPG genre rather than venturing into entirely different game types. The comments suggest Square Enix’s director is eager to apply the experience gained from helming one of modern gaming’s most high-profile remake projects to a fresh title.
The Final Fantasy 7 Remake has been one of PlayStation’s flagship releases, with significant critical and commercial success. Hamaguchi’s willingness to discuss future endeavors signals Square Enix’s continued investment in the director’s vision and his importance to the publisher’s gaming portfolio.
