Square Enix's highly anticipated remake could premiere on June 5th, perhaps finally revealing its official title among other details.

Naoki Hamaguchi still believes that turn-based RPGs should be around, since they offer a strategic layer missing in real-time games.
Naoki Hamaguchi also noted that the decision to make a trilogy also led to the studio needing to decide on clean breakpoints for each game.
While Naoki Hamaguchi prefers to use the "very versatile" Yuffie whenever possible, he "can't wait" for fans to try out the newcomers.

Naoki Hamaguchi said that storage space and transfer speed requirements prevented the game from getting ported to the Switch.
The team is currently in the "final push phase," and Naoki Hamaguchi thinks "it won’t be too long" before it can share an update.
Director Naoki Hamaguchi outlines how the team creates assets for high-end environments and then tunes them for each platform.
