New information about Final Fantasy 7 Remake will be revealed this weekend, according to the game’s co-director.
Just yesterday, on February 7, Square Enix released the video just below the co-director Motomu Toriyama of Final Fantasy 7 Remake (as translated by the always reliable @aitaikimochi) In the video, Toriyama details how there will be “some things” about Final Fantasy 7 Remake that will be revealed during the next orchestral concert, which will take place this Saturday in Japan at 5pm JST.
FF7R’s Co-Director Toriyama’s message about the next FF7R Orchestra Concert is VERY interesting. He mentions that there will be a special little section of the show where he will talk about some information about FF7R revealed only during the show 👀Here are the subscriptions for the video! pic.twitter.com/YAZJAUufrKFebruary 8, 2021
“In addition to the presentation, we have a special program planned as well,” says Toriyama, according to the fan translation. “There will be some things about Final Fantasy 7 Remake that will be revealed only during this show,” adds the co-director, saying that he will be present during the show, which is taking place entirely remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan.
About what these “few things” about the game could be, nobody knows for sure. Speculation surrounding social media has a PS5 version of Final Fantasy 7 Remake being announced at this weekend’s show. Square Enix actually updated the remake to fix some form of PS5-related support last year, before Sony’s next-generation console was released, but no updated features or added bonuses were revealed.
Last week, Final Fantasy 7 Remake co-directors Yoshinori Kitase and Naoki Hamaguchi talked about what they wanted to achieve in Part 2 of the remake. Kitase said the development team wanted to go “beyond” fans’ expectations, while Hamaguchi commented that they wanted to take the level of detail in Midgar and apply it to the rest of the world in Part 2 of the remake. This is certainly no small feat.
