Many, many RPG fans are patiently awaiting the next installment in the Kingdom Hearts franchise. And a lot of those people are waiting for Final Fantasy VII Remakeās third and final installment, too. As you might expect, some are worried about how development is proceeding on these two massive Square Enix RPGs, and to help calm those players down, FF7 and KH4 director Tetsuya Nomura has attempted to reassure us all that things are going āsmoothly.ā
As reported by Gematsu, during Fridayās Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis 2nd Anniversary broadcast, Nomura hopped in toward the end after seemingly spotting comments in the chat asking about FF7 Remakeās third installment. While he didnāt have a release date to share, he wanted everyone to relax. The game is on schedule, okay?
āRight, so, looking at the comments, Iām seeing people ask every so often about the third entry in the [FF7]Ā Remake series,ā said Nomura. āApparently, [FF7 co-director Motomu] Toriyama mentioned in an interview that something might be released around the second anniversary [of Ever Crisis]. So thatās probably where those expectations are coming from. Right, so things are progressing really smoothly. I canāt really say moreāif I suddenly went, āWell, actuallyā¦,ā everyone would be really surprised!ā
He then added: āSo yeah, things are moving along really smoothly, and the release timing has already been decided. Weāre moving forward according to that schedule right now, so please rest assured and be patient.ā
And donāt worry, fans of Kingdom Hearts, Nomura also had a small update about the Disney RPG, which was first announced back in 2022.
āAnd this has also come up in the comments here and there, but Kingdom Hearts IVĀ is likewise steadily moving forward according to schedule, so please look forward to it.ā
