A plethora of Final Fantasy VII related news dropped yesterday after the Sony State of Play presentation. Square Enix had announced Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Episode Yuffie for PlayStation 5 and two new mobile games, Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier and Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis, with the former being a RPG battle royale and the latter being the entire Final Fantasy VII storyline -- spinoffs and all -- explained in one singular title. Amidst all this exciting news, a Famitsu article featuring an interview with director Tetsuya Nomura was also dropped, and with it came a bunch of interesting tidbits of information regarding the three new titles. Thanks to the efforts of Aitaikuji, who has the interview translated in full on their blogpost, we got to learn a bit more about these three titles and what they will entail.

PlayStation Plus subscribers who have yet to try out Final Fantasy VII Remake will be able to do just that in just a few days. Sony's announced the game will be coming to the service for the month of March, nearly a year after its original launch on PlayStation 4. This release doesn't come without some caveats, however. Those with the PS Plus version of the game will not be eligible to upgrade to the PlayStation 5 version when it drops on June 10. That means if you want the next generation upgrades, you'll at least need to find a way to eventually purchase a physical or digital copy of the game on PS4.

The second entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake series will be helmed by the first game's co-director, Naoki Hamaguchi, confirmed by Tetsuya Nomura in an interview published with Famitsu today.

My basic involvement in the work won’t significantly change, so please give me your continued support.” This news comes hot on the heels of several announcements including Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade for PlayStation 5.
