“I’ve taken over the development side of the Final Fantasy VII Remake.

This company decision was made wanting to control quality as well as keeping the schedule stable.”

More details about the shedule were not given. Final Fantasy VII Remake was announced 2 years ago at E3 2015. Not much information has been released since, only that the remake will be released in episodes.
