At Lucca comics and games, Shinji Hashimoto was on stage during the panel where he talked about FF13-4,FFX-3, Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 and of course-Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

 

 

He has said that the game is well into development and that fans just need to wait a little longer for more information, he has also said release dates for FF12 Zodiac Age and FF7R haven't been decided.

Could we be seeing the game in late 2017 or early 2018?

In the name of the Lord FF13 ended oké! The sales opening wasn't even that good for Lightning Returns if I can remember definitely compared to the previous FF13 games. I am not a fan of the 13 trilogy but I know it ended well so just let it end for once

And square enix knowing 2025

As much as you hate it, they made Lightning a model for Louis Vuitton, she's an icon in Japan and is loved by the entire company, I don't think they will ever let 13 go.

But it ended well right? why ruin the ending they had a hole new world right?

If they released it in 2017, then hoooooooo boy, that year is going to be a major fustercluck of Square hype. I guess it would make sense, what with it being both Final Fantasy's and Kingdom Hearts' anniversaries, so have the biggest games you could possibly hype up after FFXV come out within the same year. Hopefully they just don't go and release them within the same week or month of each other, that'd cause some problems.

FF7R would cause KH3's sales to flop. With 1.5+2.5 as well as 2.8 I don't think KH3 is coming out next year. With XV they said in late 2015-it's definitely coming out next year. That hasn't happened with KH3 and I doubt it will. But that doesn't bother me, next year will be full of KH3 promotion anyway as promised.

Well, I guess we'll see. I personally still have a gut feeling about KH3 coming out that year, but nothing's been set in stone yet, so they wouldn't exactly be breaking any promises. I mean, it'd be awesome if they had it out in time for the anniversary, but quality comes first and all that. If sales end up being the issue though, then yeah I'd understand, but really I think it'll all depend on when they release each of these titles. I mean by that logic, just releasing 2.8 two months after XV would still limit sales, so if they feel confident enough that 2.8 could make it in that amount of time, couldn't it be reasonable to assume that they might try something similar with KH3? I mean, I guess it depends on how far they are in development for both 3 and 7R, but 3's definitely had more time to build up momentum and hype, so I'd be kind of surprised if it took second seat to 7R (unless we're talking pre-announcement/development hype, then it's about even). Guess we'll see in the coming months.

Well into development, eh? I wonder if that human is referring to the first part of the planned multiple part game, or the whole game in general? Because if it's well into development in such a short period of time, then I'm impressed by these humans!

 

This should mean that their other top dog, Kingdom Hearts III, should also be equally into, if not more so into development!  But since we're talking about Blonde Spiky Haired's game here, then well, we could be seeing at a late 2017 release! Depending on the info we get soon enough, we can more or less guess!

But it ended well right? why ruin the ending they had a hole new world right?

I dunno about ended well, but it definitely ended lol. The story of LR is pretty bad imo, at least as a sequel. I think the original XIII had a perfect ending and left nothing unresolved, so I like to think of the sequels as their own canon. I mean, they're so insane and off the wall they're practically their own separate things and just act like sequels so that they can reuse assets and characters.

 

Personally, at this point, I'd be much more interested in remastered versions of the XIII games, in particular the first one. I agree that the series should die with Lightning Returns, attempting to make a sequel to that mess would surely result in a trainwreck of a story, if you don't already consider it one, anyways.

 

EDIT: Actually, now that I think about it, a prequel or simply some sort of other story taking place in the original XIII universe could be really cool. But enough of the original characters, please.

I'm guessing KH3 will release sometime in late winter 2017 while FF7R Part 1 will release in 2018

I think the other way around.

No. And if KH3 doesn't come out in 2017, we won't see FFVII Remake until 2019 at the earliest.

 

PS: I know that a lot of people think FFVII Remake is further in development than KH3, but that simply isn't the case. A lot of what we saw in the trailers was even done with help from the KH3 team.

KH3 will come out after the FF7 remake now I think. He said the game was well into development which no one has said about KH3. Next year is the 20th anniversary of final fantasy 7 and the franchise, there's also no major title to release (KH3 is not a major title) next year besides that. It's the perfect time.

I updated my original comment with details suggesting that KH3 is further in development than FFVII Remake. Sorry about leaving those out originally, but you should read them and tell me if you still agree or disagree.

The staff for FF7R is larger, the focus is more on that, they have the foundation done considering they just need to recreate most things rather than inventing new ones, the KH3 team are constantly being made to work on other things-1.5,2.5,2.8 1.5+.2.5 which takes assets, time and resources from the development of the game. The XV team will go to FF7R rather than KH3 since it's more of a priority.

Do you have sources?

1. ,The staff for FF7R is larger, the focus is more on that, they have the foundation done considering they just need to recreate most things rather than inventing new ones 
2. the KH3 team are constantly being made to work on other things-1.5,2.5,2.8 1.5+.2.5 which takes assets, time and resources from the development of the game.
3. The XV team will go to FF7R rather than KH3 since it's more of a priority

1. Doesn't need a source, bigger game=more people. The game is a remake therefore things will be recreated rather than invented from scratch.

2. That's clear as day. If you constantly take people away from KH3 to work on small projects you're losing people to work on KH3 aren't you? Doesn't matter if it's 1 or 10, you're losing staff and slowing down the development, even if it's only a little.

3. Also clear, why would they prioritise KH over FF?

 

1. Doesn't need a source, bigger game=more people. The game is a remake therefore things will be recreated rather than invented from scratch.

 

1. I mostly agree with this point, but the fact that the game is bigger also means that it should take longer to make.

 

 2. That's clear as day. If you constantly take people away from KH3 to work on small projects you're losing people to work on KH3 aren't you? Doesn't matter if it's 1 or 10, you're losing staff and slowing down the development, even if it's only a little.

2. 0.2 was a part of KH3 originally, so making it doesn't take away any development time, and the HD remakes would have had to delay development for at least two years in order for KH3 to lag behind FFVII Remake.

 

3. Also clear, why would they prioritise KH over FF?

3. The FFXV team will probably work on something completely different once they're done, and if the were to join another team, it would probably be the KH3 team, like they originally planned to do. And if they did join the FFVII Remake team, it should be seen as an indication that the FFVII team is lacking enough man power to finish the project on time.

 

One last point, the article said that FFVII Remake does not have a release date in mind, KH3 on the other hand, has been confirmed to have a scheduled release date. If anything, that should indicate that KHVII Remake is at an earlier stage in development than KH3.

Ah the story always was a train wrack, I took multiple breaks during the dialoge sections and turned off my console sometimes to

In a sense the 13 sequals are there own thing. 13's happy ending was changed in an altrente timeline that then that timeline followed the events of 13-2 and LR, and in the other timeline universe 13 Is done and over with its happy ending and proalby leads in FF V 13 since V12 was going to be the original 13-2
