## Summary

Square Enix is more likely to invest in new games than remakes, according to Final Fantasy producer Yoshinori Kitase. He said remakes can still make sense when creators have a strong connection to the original and want to introduce it to new players, as with the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy.

Kitase also said characters and their development are central to Final Fantasy’s appeal, alongside a mix of European and Japanese cultural influences. He would welcome future games or television series based on the franchise, and praised Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for drawing inspiration from Final Fantasy.
