Final Fantasy fans in general might be in a bigger treat after the team behind the iconic game Final Fantasy VII officially announced that the game will be remade. According to IGN, Square Enix's Final Fantasy series director Tetsuya Nomura has expressed his want to reboot Final Fantasy V and VI. Nomura said in an interview that he took these into consideration because of the Final Fantasy IV and VII reboots. Nomura confirmed that he is working with Yoshinori Kitase since time immemorial and the two executives noticed that the series is missing V and VI, and it bothered him. He added that how can they miss the two Final Fantasy series or what led them to miss the two episodes.
Nomura also shared a tidbit of information about the upcoming Final Fantasy VII remake and confirmed that it would not be the same apple as the iconic 1997 Sony PlayStation game. Nomura said during an interview that the game won't be a simple remake. He also acknowledges the success of the original game when he said that regardless of the new age imaging technologies that are available today, the success of the 1997 game is unattainable.
He also said that there are some screen shots of the game that will be released soon to give the fans at least a glimpse of what to expect from the newly improved game. He added that, anytime soon, Square Enix might hold an official press conference to finally reveal the title of the remake.
CNet also published an article that Square Enix has finally confirmed that Final Fantasy VII will have a remake. The game will be initially available for Sony's PlayStation 4 and it is still unconfirmed if the game will be available for other console games or platforms.
The announcement was backed up by a short footage of the game's teaser during the E3 2015 press conference.
