In a recent Famitsu interview, Nomura briefly discussed Final Fantasy VII Remake, mentioning mistaken information about the game’s development. Famitsu clarified whether or not this mistake info was a report that stated Final Fantasy VII Remake development had not progressed and that it would begin in earnest after Kingdom Hearts III.

“That was not official info,“ Nomura told Famitsu. “As I said at E3, development is progressing favorably.“ However, he went on to say that Square Enix’s PR is currently focused on KHIII, but after that, it will focus on Final Fantasy VII Remake so he asked folks not to worry and to wait a bit more.

Sure it is, Nomura. Sure it is.

I’m going to chalk “Final Fantasy VII Remake is going well.“ alongside “Kingdom Hearts III is a game that is coming out", “Imagine Dragons is a band people enjoy" and “NBC’s Chicago Shows are real, and have viewers" as entertainment stories which just aren’t true.
