Meanwhile, there are no news or official announcements made regarding the first episode of Final Fantasy 7.

As of this writing, Square Enix has not yet released any official details regarding the Final Fantasy remake and Kingdom of Hearts 3.
Lately it was discovered that there were cut content present in Final Fantasy XV leading to its early release. Apparently, this happened when the original game was halted since the name change from Final Fantasy Versus to Final Fantasy XV and the game director change from Tetsuya Nomura to Hajime Tabata.
Additionally, fans noticed some lack of shoehorned experiences in the game, while Tabata previously confirmed that the transition from open world to linear gameplay resulted in such quality. Meawhile, having two game directors means a more creative way for the remake. Hopefully, Square Enix will not rush the production for an early release to ensure a better gaming experience for their fans.
