Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade will soon release on Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2, expanding considerably the lineup of available platforms.
The game is perhaps one of the most relevant examples of Square Enix’s past policy of releasing many of its major titles as temporary exclusives for PlayStation consoles, followed by ports at a later time.
Yet, times appear to be changing, and we talked with the Director of the Final Fantasy VII Remake series, Naoki Hamaguchi, at Tokyo Game Show 2025.
Hamaguchi-san shared some interesting insights, including his view on the opportunity presented by expanding to more platforms and by the popularity of portable PCs.
He also mentions that he believes it’s “very important” to release games on all platforms at the same time.
Of course, we also had to ask Hamaguchi-san about the development of Final Fantasy VII Remake part 3, and while he could not say much, he expressed confidence in the game.
Without further ado, we leave you with the interview, which you can find in the video below.
