The director of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Yoshinori Kitase, expressed a desire for a happier ending for the iconic characters, but emphasized that the game's development involves a diverse team with differing viewpoints. The game's divergence from the original storyline, hinted at by the defeat of a key boss in the 2020 Remake, raises questions about potential changes to the fates of beloved characters like Aerith. With the release of Rebirth approaching on February 29, players can explore a demo on PlayStation 5 to get a taste of the game.
Square Enix producer Yoshinori Kitase stated that remaking Final Fantasy 6 could take 20 years, twice as long as the FF7 remake, due to the game's large number of characters and the challenge of transitioning from 2D pixel art to full 3D.
