So according to SE, FFXVI is pretty far along and we should hear more at E3. FF7R Part II is probably fairly far along as well. I'm assuming both games will come out in 2023 at the latest if not 2022. So which do you guys think will come out first?

Personally even if it hasn't been announced yet I think FF7R Part II will release first and that's because I think it will be a cross-gen title. It looks like FFXVI is next gen exclusive and SE would benefit from Sony selling more systems before releasing it and the current shortage isn't helping. I think we'll have to wait longer than expected to play FFXVI but the result will be a very full and polished game unlike FFXV which felt like it was missing a ton of story sequences (SE tried to remedy that a bit with the Royal Edition which added story content but it still wasn't enough imho).

 

[Birdo]

I want Chocobo Racing II, but I suspect we'll get FFVII Remake Part II first.

 

[Captain Toad]

Final Fantasy XVI is already listed on PSN under "coming soon" with screenshots, videos and such. It was expected this year, but due to COVID, may get pushed to early next year.

We've heard nothing about FFVIIR-2.

 

[Dad_Of_Chicken]

Wait wait wait, people here are actually expecting FFVIIR2 before XVI???
I wouldn't expect FF7R2 before 2023. Wasn't part 1 released a year ago, with an upcoming DLC?

 

[yunkaiza]

FFXVI will probably release by early 2022. I expect VIIR-2 will have at least a teaser trailer this year though.

 

[Spaceman292]

16 easily. It's the one being made by people who can actually put out a game in less than ten years.

 

[SkylineRKR]

XVI is very likely a 2022 title. Square has worked on it since 2016 or so. They've shown gameplay and last year they completed the scenario.

 

[nightmare-slain]

there are too many damn FF games it's confusing with all they roman nurmals. for some reason i was thinking xvi is to replace xiv. i couldn't see them ditching xiv so voted vii remake part ii. i actually would vote xvi not vii part ii.

[SSfox]

Super obvious it's gonna be FF16.

Would be more interesting to debate which one will come first, FF7-2 or DQ12.

 

[Myths]

FF16 seems more complete, a feat not too well met these days.

 

[Valonquar]

The first will prob be some additional taked on extra scenario with a Kingdom Hearts title like "FF7R Integrade We aRe TurkS: UndergroWth"

 

[AV]

You've already seen 16 advertised, you haven't seen a peep of 7-2. Guess.

 

[Andodalf]

FF XV : The Nomura Cut

 

[Cert.in.Death]

FFXVI, either Q4 2022 or first half of 2023.

VIIR is 2024 at the earliest.

 

[McCarth]

XVI. It's being done by the only competent (in terms of timelines) developer unit in SE.

 

[NahaNago]

FF XV : The Nomura Cut

is their even a complete edition?

FF16 will release first. We are getting that dlc or expansion with Yuffie first. FF7R yuffie is this year, FF16 is next year, and FF7R2 will be the year after next.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

We've heard nothing about FFVIIR-2.

It will take place outside Midgar?

 

[Captain Toad]

It will take place outside Midgar?

I meant as how far development is coming or possible release window.

 

[GymWolf]

I have some light curiosity for ff16 just because people told me that the team behind is the one that was behind ff14, the only decent FF game after IX, but the memory of the cold, raped corpse of FF7 is still too fresh in my memory so i'm probably gonna wait for a big discount and many many positive feedback from trusted users.

 

[Nankatsu]

FFXVI. I don't expect Remake part 2 before end 2022, at the very least.

 

[Jaxcellent]

I would love to see 7 remake part 2 first, I'm not fully engaged with the new FF yet, I'd like to see more...

 

[Boss Mog]

You've already seen 16 advertised, you haven't seen a peep of 7-2. Guess.

Plenty of games announced after mainline FF games ended up releasing before them.

 

[EverydayBeast]

For some reason game releases need time between them there’s a lot of speculation on release dates, FF7 Remake Part 1 was a good opportunity to bring in new fans

 

[Celcius]

They've shown FF16 but not FF7R part 2

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

.

 

[Manji Uzuki]

I think we will get XVI in 2022 and VII part 2 in 2023/2024

 

[VALCON 82]

ever crisis

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Whatever comes out first.

 

[sublimit]

Hopefully FFXVI. I don't give a shit about FFVII Fanfiction Part 2.

 

[MrS]

Both gonna suck like VIIR and 15 so who gives a shit?

 

[Astral Dog]

FF XVI looks more advanced, but i bet its gonna be a shorter time from FFVIIR to FFVIIR2, than VersusXIII to XV or FFVIIHD PS3 to FFVIIR

 

[Varteras]

Final Fantasy XVI almost certainly. SE is being very careful with the remake, even if some people don't like its direction. Which was bound to happen no matter what they did. Naoki Yoshida being a producer on it and the same division that does Final Fantasy XIV working on it tells me FF XVI will have a good development pace.

 

[Fbh]

FFXVI looked way further along than I expected, so that.
Unless the reveal trailer was complete bullshit like FFXV

 

[swaffles23]

FFXVI because Yoshida knows how to manage a project and he wouldn't have shown it off it was years out. FFXVI will be the better game too

 

[Sophist]

where ff7r-2 will end in the story? first part was only in midgard, what come next has a lot of more diverse stuff to implement. i think the second part will stop at cosmo canyon or when they leave it after red13 arc

• world map
• Kalm
• Nibelheim Incident flashback
• chocobo farm
• Mythril Mine
• impaled Midgar Zolom
• Fort condor
• Junon
• Cargo ship
• costa del sol
• Mt. Corel
• Corel reactor
• North Corel
• Goldsaucer (lot of mini games to implement)
• Corel prison
• Gongaga
• Cosmo Canyon

 

[Ikutachi]

FFVIIR is milking DLC, so XVI.

 

[CamHostage]

It's so crazy that Square seems to have had no real gameplan for the FF VII Remake project. Just, "Let's redo the Shinra infiltration because that's the part everybody loves and actually played, and then, fuck I don't know, we'll figure it out...maybe?"

The way we all thought about this when they started talking about really doing Remake and using an episodic approach, you would have thought they would maybe have had all the chapters planned out and would have known what parts would be expanded upon? And maybe they'd have a some side-games already in development alongside the first FF7R chapter (they already said the Turks might get their own playable bit and maybe that would have worked as a side-game or chapter,) as well as remasters of a few pieces of the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII product line (hopefully a remaster of Crisis Core, also Dirge of Cerberus if they had to, or perhaps 3D remake of Before Crisis?) Maybe they'd even think ahead that this PS4 game is releasing the same year the PS5 is coming out and so maybe, maybe they should think of for a platform strategy of having a next-gen version when next-gen comes out, or not releasing one chapter on past-gen and then abandoning that platform to move all the future chapters to next-gen...

Nope. It's Final Fantasy VII. How has "having a plan" ever worked out well in the past?

 

[megreotsugua]

Forspoken will come sooner.
