## Key points

- Square Enix is prioritising new games over remakes.
- Kitase says remakes may proceed when a special opportunity arises.
- The Final Fantasy 7 remake aimed to reach new players and longtime fans.

## Summary

Yoshinori Kitase says Square Enix is more likely to invest in new games than remakes, while remaining open to revisiting older titles when there is a compelling creative reason. His comments suggest the company sees remakes as selective projects rather than its main direction.

Kitase said the Final Fantasy 7 remake brought together creators from the 1997 original and newer developers, aiming to make the game accessible to new players while preserving its appeal for existing fans. Reports said a Final Fantasy 9 remake had stalled, but Kitase did not discuss that project; the article speculates that a new mainline game may come before further remakes.
