'Final Fantasy 7 Remake' release date news 2016: Launch still unconfirmed; Remake will consist of multiple full-sized games

Although Square Enix has yet to formally announce the release date for the much-anticipated "Final Fantasy VII Remake," a string of interviews with the people behind it have revealed some new information about the upcoming action role-playing game.

"Final Fantasy VII Remake" was initially announced at Sony's conference during last year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). Since then, gamers have barely heard anything about the game and, disappointingly, it was a no-show at this year's just-concluded E3.

Nonetheless, some have taken the radio silence as indication that Square Enix may be about to drop a major revelation about the game.

In an interview with Famitsu, "Final Fantasy" original character designer Tetsuya Nomura spoke about what fans can expect from "Final Fantasy VII Remake." While Nomura admitted that he didn't really have much to reveal about the game, he did indicate that the studio could be gearing up to drop some major details about it.

In the interview, which was translated by KH Insider, Nomura said that the game is coming along well and that when the team behind "Final Fantasy VII Remake" does share details about it, it will be a major information drop instead of a trickle of minor details.

Meanwhile, original director Yoshinori Kitase has also spoken up about the long-awaited game. In an interview with GameSpot, Kitase talked about the studio's plans of dividing the remake into multiple full-sized games.

"It will essentially be a full scale game for each part of the multi-part series," he said. "In 'XIII,' each installment told the story from a different angle. It was kind of like approaching an unknown territory in a sense. Whereas with 'Final Fantasy VII Remake,' we already have a preexisting story, so it wouldn't really make sense if that isn't encompassed in a multi-part series."

Kitase also said that he, Nomura, and script writer Kazushige Kojima could alter some aspects of the game to modernize it.

"We were the people who created it, so in that sense, we don't think anything is untouchable," he explained. "That isn't to say we're changing everything."
