Will FF7 Remake Part 2 Actually Be Final Fantasy 16

Now that Final Fantasy VII Remake has been out for a few months, all eyes are turning toward Square Enix’s next big game. The real question: Is that next big name going to be Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 or Final Fantasy XVI? Recent rumors seem to suggest that the next mainline Final Fantasy game will be announced and released before the follow-up to the FFVII Remake. But what if Final Fantasy 16 and FF7 Remake Part 2 are the same game? There’s evidence this could happen, and Square Enix has pulled this move before.

When Final Fantasy VII Remake was initially released, it garnered mostly favorable reviews and impressive sales numbers. FF7 Remake’s ending, which differs greatly from the events of the original game, was a bit of a controversy and left the story a bit open-ended for Part 2. Overall, though, fans seemed to be excited about where the sequel would go.

At the same time, expectations have been high for Square Enix to announce Final Fantasy XVI, the presumed title of their next mainline game. It’s been four years since the last numbered entry was released, and despite a slew of Final Fantasy XV DLC (some of which was delayed or even cancelled), Final Fantasy XV has reached the end of its lifespan. It’s unusual for Square to wait this long before announcing another mainline Final Fantasy game, which has led some fans to speculate about where the series may be headed next. It’s also turned up the heat for Square to announce their next game soon.

Is FF7 Remake Part 2 Turing Into Final Fantasy 16?

There’s certainly precedence for Square Enix changing a spin-off title into a mainline game. Due to development delays and internal issues, Final Fantasy Versus XIII was eventually altered and made into the next mainline entry, Final Fantasy XV. It remains a somewhat controversial move, but Final Fantasy XV was the company’s fastest-selling game ever at the time, so the gambit seems to have paid off. Still, Square Enix has become notorious for long development times and delays. Even the first FF7 Remake was delayed multiple times. Because there’s pressure to release both the Remake sequel and the next numbered entry, Square could decide to turn FF7 Remake Part 2 into FF16 as a countermeasure to those delays.

Within the confines of Remake’s story, there’s still evidence to suggest this may be where Square Enix is heading with Part 2. Since the first game’s ending hints at an alternate timeline and a possible multiverse, this could be Square laying the groundwork for FF7 Remake Part 2 becoming FF16. It could make sense from a narrative standpoint, and it would blow the door wide open for where FF7 Remake’s story goes next.

Square Enix has teased announcements for new titles in the coming weeks, and fans are understandably anxious to see if there are release dates for Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 and Final Fantasy XVI. Until an official announcement comes, it seems increasingly likely that Square may merge their two biggest upcoming titles.
