Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy Director Praised as the Guy Fans Want Square Enix to Put in Charge of Final Fantasy 17

At a Final Fantasy XIV fan event in Berlin, Naoki Yoshida praised Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy director Naoki Hamaguchi as a fan favorite to direct Final Fantasy XVII.

Yoshida jokingly cut off the discussion before it went too far, avoiding deeper speculation about the next mainline Final Fantasy.

He also said that applying the VII remake-style approach to other classic Final Fantasy games would likely take multiple installments.

The comments fueled franchise leadership speculation and spotlighted how Square Enix may shape Final Fantasy’s future after the VII remake trilogy.
