The developers drop new hints!

Square Enix has not officially announced Final Fantasy 17 yet; however, some of the recent comments from the franchise’s biggest names suggest that discussion about the next mainline game might be on the table.

It’s been three years since the release of Final Fantasy 17 and currently the developers are focusing on the latest part of the Final Fantasy VII Remake. Let’s learn more details about the possible next game in this article.

Square Enix hints at Final Fantasy 17

During a recent public discussion, Final Fantasy 16 producer Naoki Yoshida (Yoshi-P) and Final Fantasy 7 Remake director Naoki Hamaguchi suggested that it might be time for a new generation of developers to take charge of the next numbered Final Fantasy title instead of the veterans.

When talking about the future of the franchise, Yoshida also mentioned the director of the hugely successful Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy Naoki Hamaguchi. Fans quickly started to wonder if Hamaguchi could lead the direction of Final Fantasy 17, but before he could get a response, Yoshida cut him off.

This was enough for the fans who had already started to speculate. Yoshida’s reaction might have hinted at something already happening behind the scenes. Not confirmed, but the next game in the series might already be in the early development or concept phase.

Conclusion

For now, nothing is confirmed yet and all the information is currently speculative. There is no doubt that the next entry in the Final Fantasy franchise might bring a lot of hype.

This game can also be a multiplatform release at launch, following Square Enix’s recent commitment to a multiplatform publishing strategy.

Has Square Enix officially announced Final Fantasy 17?

No. Square Enix has not officially announced Final Fantasy 17, but recent comments from senior developers have fueled speculation that work on the next mainline game is being discussed.

Could Naoki Hamaguchi direct Final Fantasy 17?

It’s possible, but nothing has been confirmed. Hamaguchi is currently leading the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, though recent comments have sparked speculation about his future involvement.

Will Final Fantasy 17 be turn-based?

Square Enix has not revealed the game’s combat system. Fans remain divided between traditional turn-based gameplay and the action-focused style introduced in recent entries.
