Tetsuya Nomura, character designer on the original game and creative director of the remake, said the recent releases have given him “a real sense of how more and more people are supporting Final Fantasy VII” — not just old fans, but also people who have never had contact with the original games. He wrote:
“There will be even more projects to Final Fantasy VII, which started after the remake, which will arrive in the future as well. The team sees this 25th anniversary as a starting point on our journey with Final Fantasy VII, and will continue to move forward with even greater things.”
It is worth remembering that the first part of the remake only has the story that takes place in Midgar, covering about seven hours of the original game. An expansion called INTERmission, was released in 2021 and added a side story to parts 1 and 2.
