The co-director of Final Fantasy 7 Remake will reveal news related to the game during a Japanese orchestra concert this weekend, he’s said.
Motomu Toriyamashared the news via theSquare Enix MusicTwitter account on Monday, which was translated by Final Fantasy fanAitai Kimochi.
“In addition to the performance we have a special program planned as well,” Toriyama said. “There will be a few things about FF7R that will be revealed only during this concert. I will also take part in this program, so please tune in!”
The FF7R Orchestra Concert will take place on Saturday, February 13 at 5pm Japan Time (8am GMT) and will only be available to Japanese residents who have paid for an online ticket. That considered, it seems unlikely that the newsSquare Enixis planning to share will be significant.

In November 2019, director Nomura confirmed that work onFinal Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2was already underway.Part 1 is a timed PlayStation 4 exclusive for 12 months, which means that Square Enix could releaseXboxandPCversions of the game as soon as March.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s other co-director Tetsuya Nomura has previously suggested thatfuture instalments in the episodic title could focus on smaller sectionsof the original game, in order to release them faster.
The comments come from the Japanese Ultimania book, in which Nomura is quoted as saying that “if we divide the story into large parts, it’ll take longer to make. If we divide it into more detailed smaller sections, then developing it will be faster. I hope to release the next one ASAP.”

Also speaking in the Ultimania book, producerYoshinori Kitasereportedly said that the FF7R team has “a general idea” of how the game’s story will play out across each episode, following a cliffhanger ending to the first game.
“We have a general idea of how the story will play out, but we haven’t decided exactly [how many parts], nor can we confirm anything,” Kitase is reported as saying. “There’s speculation that it will be three parts, but we’re just doing things one step at a time.”
