Guesstimations of When the Remake will finish?

[Smoothie King]

There are two things that I consider: narrative and tech.

Not like I think anyone pays close attention to me on here, but anyone who has read my posts knows that I'm a strong proponent for a trilogy. I believe that the technology of the PS5 can allow Square to produce the FFVII saga, in full, over the course of three games.

So that leaves us with: how long will it take? If they knocked out the majority of Remake in 2.5-3 years (which seems to be the consensus after bringing everything in house), I don't see any reason why each game shouldn't take three years to make. Maybe four? With the battle system in place I believe it won't take as long, and I am not counting on any recycled assets being used at all. These games are built from scratch.

So that leaves us... late 2023 for part II, probably. And then... late 2026/early 2027 to wrap this thing up in a neat bow in time for the games thirtieth anniversary.

That’s all pretty much where I’m at, I think the amount of reusable assets between part 2 and 3 will be a lot less if it’s a trilogy considering the locations we return to in the later part of the OG so that’s why I’m expecting a fairly long wait for part 2 (2023 is my guess), and then 2027 just makes sense to end on for the anniversary. If it’s four parts though, I’d guess 2023, 2025, and 2027.
