In an interesting interview between FFDream.com and the couple, Yoshinori Kitase and Motomu Toriyama, the french fansite came back with a good information : "If we did want to do [a FF VII Remake], we have to sit down and think carefully what would be the best possible way to do that. It could be a remaster like X/X-2 HD Remaster or possibly a full remake. This time, it’s our first ever HD Remaster attempt."
A open door for dreamers for sure.
The interview focused on FF X HD explained that a Final Fantasy prequel with Braska, Jetch and Auron was very close to be produced.
Final Fantasy VII 1997 exceeds 15.5 million units sold worldwide as of February 2026, reinforcing its legacy as the series best selling title.
I’d love to know how many units have been sold of all the Final Fantasy VII franchise games, including the original, the remakes, spin offs such as Crisis Core, and mobile games Ever Crisis. I bet a fair few copies.
Modern day publisher be like: "Failed to meet sales expectations. Pivoting to live service."
It's an absolute legend of a game. And I honestly really love how the remake trilogy is shaping up so far.
Final Fantasy 7 is one of the most iconic video games of all time, with it helping to changed the RPG landscape when it was released in 1997.
If you already own it... There, I saved you the click on a deliberately misleading article.
I bought the game yesterday on steam for $4 because Square Enix is trying to replace it with a version that has no mod support.
Prior to yesterday, I had no idea the game had so many great mods until people started making a fuss out of it.
u get the switch 1 version of the og ff7 for free if you own 7 remake for the switch 2.
lol.
But BG2 didn't emerge in a vacuum, and in a recent chat with Slandered Gaming it emerged that—while we can thank BG2 for a lot of our favourite RPGs since—we have a whole other game to thank for BG2. That'd be Final Fantasy 7, which lit a fire under BG2 director James Ohlen to go all out with the game's structure and companions, per Trent Oster—who worked on the original Baldur's Gate and has since become CEO of Beamdog, the studio behind the BG1 and BG2 Enhanced Editions.
Baldurs Gate 1&2 were my games back in the day on PC. Icewindale and Neverwinter Nights as well
Square Enix need more skills to Remake FFVII. Feel Free to give them your skills in remaking FFVII.

If they where smart and used there heads they could of still be half way by now with them showing a techibcal demo back in 2005
But then if they did I think alot of ps4 will shift alot of units since FF7 is contracted to sony
I'd rather see them create a real numbered FF game for the next gen of consoles. Name changing FFvs13 to FFXV for me was kinda lazy. I was kinda expecting FFXV to be at least within the same universe as the one featured in the latest tech demo.
