Final Fantasy VII Remake director says his next project is probably going to be a RPG

Final Fantasy VII Remake director Naoki Hamaguchi has a lot on his plate at the moment as he and the team are busy working on the recently revealed, Final Fantasy VII: Revelation. Game Informer spoke with him about his future plans once Final Fantasy VII: Revelation has wrapped up development and he seems pretty certain that the next game he will work on will probably be a RPG. He’s not sure if it will be an existing franchise like Final Fantasy or something else entirely though he’s looking forward to it and he hopes that the fans are too.

“In terms of what I personally want to do, obviously, I think my next creative work is also going to be a JRPG,” he says. “When you look at all the other titles that we have released at Square Enix, not just the FFVII Remake series, I think Square Enix, as a brand, as a company, is more than capable of delivering this grand-scale RPG that could resonate to gamers across the world. Fans might have a lot of different expectations, but for me personally, I do want to take on this new challenge with another RPG title after this, whether it be Final Fantasy or a different IP. Again, we don’t know. But personally, if it’s not Final Fantasy, that’s also exciting, because that could be a challenge for me. So, whatever it is, I hope fans look forward to it.”
