Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 is now 'in full development' confirms game director

The news was confirmed in an interview with Famitsu
Square Enix

New light has been shed on the next part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake project, with game director Tetsuya Nomura quoted as saying the game is in "full development."

According to an interview published in Famitsu, Nomura has said he wants to deliver us the second part of Final Fantasy VII "as soon as possible".

Famitsu, a hugely popular gaming magazine published in Japan, conducted a 15-page interview with developers Square Enix about the upcoming sequel.

Once the interview landed online, Twitter user @Aitaikimochi diligently translated the interview to share with fans.

If the translation is correct, which is sometimes a bit difficult with Japanese, Nomura has confirmed that Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 is now fully in development.

The first part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake was released earlier this year in April and it only gave us a small section of the original game.

In the interview, Nomura also went on to say that the team is hard at work trying to deliver the next instalment as quickly as possible. "We know that everyone wants the next instalment quickly," he said. "We would also like to deliver it as soon as possible. We hope to make the next instalment even better in quality that can make for an even better experience".

Where the game will be heading overall and just how many parts it will have could possibly be confirmed when Square is ready to show off the second part of the remake. Nomura explained: “I think we can clearly convey the direction when we officially announce the next instalment".

As ever with Square Enix and Final Fantasy, there's some form of confusion surrounding the entirety of this remake project.

It dates back to the first announcements of the game being broken up into different parts, that they didn't know just how many parts and, without spoiling anything, how true to the original the story will stick.

It appears that Square Enix is trying to get as much as possible out of the story. Executive producer Yoshinori Kitase said: "The new story of Final Fantasy 7 has only just begun".

If you've played the remake, you'll know why this is interesting, especially considering previous announcements that said the game actually wouldn't change the story too much.

There's plenty to love (and hate) about the Final Fantasy VII Remake, but we ultimately gave it our first 5/5 in our review, saying that: "Seeing these iconic and beloved characters from 1997 back in their original setting is the best thing for any fan".
