With two games in the trilogy down, it’s become clear that the Final Fantasy 7 Remake project is one of the most ambitious reimaginings the game industry has ever seen. And while fans wait eagerly for the third and final part, the first two games are expanding to a whole new frontier — Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox. Both Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth were notably PS5 exclusives, but a wind of change seems to be coming for the series, for a multitude of reasons. Part of that comes from the company’s new CEO, Takashi Kiryu, appointed in 2023, and is pushing the company in a new direction. But branching out to other systems does present a prime opportunity to grow the Final Fantasy franchise further — especially important as the series has seen its fair share of struggles in recent years. |
