‘Our performance will temporarily drop below 100% efficiency’
All eyes are not on Squall: they are on the next “part” of the Final Fantasy VII Remake.
What parts of the game will it entail? How Many parts will be? Will something move? Will the story be drastically different compared to the original work? Many of these questions have been vaguely answered, but now, thanks to a new interview from The Guardian, we have an idea of where Square Enix is in terms of the production of the second part.
When asked about how the current pandemic is affecting development, producer Yoshinori Kitase responded by saying that although the situation is “unprecedented,” the team “is still making the next game through remote work.” He gives us a standard condition, noting that “performance will temporarily drop below 100% efficiency” during this period, but they are working hard and expect the Redo gives “a moment of relief” during these stressful times.
“It still works, but not at 100% efficiency,” describes a large part of the Japanese game development scene right now. Several publishers have hinted that this is the case, especially when considering that many Japanese houses are not fully equipped to handle the rigors of game development. Curiously, Super Smash Bros. Boss Masahiro Sakurai recently led a DLC reveal at home with equipment provided directly by Nintendo; so some progress has been made on that front
In short, “Part 2” is yet to come. It may be even longer than we thought.
