Holy shit confirmed FFVII AND FFX IS THE SAME UNIVERSE!! MY GOODNESS.

VII and X take place in the same universe confirmed!!! Holy crap!!

ok, now, I will make this channel grow up a little. good job guys!!

FFX and FF7 are officially connected :) My 2 favorite FF games just became even better for me!

I loved this interview!

this was awesome

Will there ever be a final fantasy game in the future set in medieval age like FF4 or FF9?

That was awesome!! xD Kitase-san's reactions were really funny. You did well too :)

this is the most important interview for all FF fans in the world!! :) thank you!!! thank you!!!!

noooooooooooooooooooooooooo when he said false to turn based combat my heart of hearts broke in twain.

I'd like to ask, will there ever be a Final Fantasy VIII Remake?

Why this doesnt have more views? Those are sick questions.

Is tidus related to cloud? Kitase: No. Me: oh thank God!

None of us can get over losing Aerith. Great video! Very informative, guys!

I loved the VII and X answer.

Awesome video guys. I'm surprised that there aren't many viewers. People should be jumping at this!

"Turn based combat? No." Fuck, I'm done.

Spira and Gaia are connected imo. I don't think they are the same world. Nojima: ”After quitting the Gullwings, Shinra received enormous financial support from Rin, and began trying to use Vegnagun to siphon Mako Energy from the Farplane. But, he is unable to complete the system for utilizing this energy in his generation, and in the future, when traveling to distant planets becomes possible, the Shin-Ra Company is founded on another world, or something like that……. That would happen about 1000 years after this story, I think.“

i want a ff8 remaster : (

And we are FINALLY getting that Final Fantasy 8 port, a remaster for the PS4 and the Switch! I'm so glad to hear Squall is alive as well!

By any chance, you couldn't ask him more informations about FF7 Remake ? I mean, it was a great shot to have more informations about it, since you were with the producer of the remake :(

That was sure nice of him to take time out of his day to meet you in the subway for an interview. Thank you for this, Kitase-san! Chrono Trigger is the best thing you've ever made and my favorite game!

def wanna know if there will be a VIII remake lol

I really enjoyed this video! Can not wait for the ff7 remake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would love a FF8 remake and I can't wait for FF7

Is it possible to get a remake/complete version of crisis core. Or at least the psn version for vita. God I loved that game. Vita please.

If 10 and 7 are connected, the Cetra were no doubt Al Bhed. Green eyes being a trademark of both, and of course affinity for technology.

A lot of great questions! Now I can’t remember if FFX was millennium BEFORE or AFTER FFVII

Hasn't the 'VII and X are in the same world/universe' thing been confirmed for a long time now? I feel like I remember that being mentioned in the X-2 Ultimania or something.

Tell me the truth Sid is a timelord.

I don't believe that people are focusing on "VII and X are the same universe", when the real news is elsewhere. Why would they refuse to port FF8 to iOS/PS4? What's going on here..? What are they planning to do with it?? Could the reason be that Squall and co. might be making a... different form of comeback? Of the Remake variety??

FF VIII, I'll wait for it.

Most disappointing comment: “x FF will not ever return to turn based combat”.... That means an awesome part of the series and what would have made FF7 remake for me a truly perfect game.

Will there ever be a FFX prequel that focuses on the Ten Years before the main story, where you play as Braska, Auron, and Jecht?

Best interview in the history of interviews! Very well done and to get that amount of participation from the horses mouth is just mind-blowing! Good job guys! You got a sub

Squall didn't die, end of the conversation

I love that they get a chance to pick the mind of one of the best sources for the Final Fantasy universe, and then proceed to ask him the dumbest bullshit possible. Such a waste.

Final Fantasy VII's events only occur within two weeks? Really?

Here is some questions : - Is FFVIIR will come out near KHIII - They said that we were about to get news about FFVIIR this year but we almost got nothing. Will next year be a better year for news/trailer? - Can we expect a demo or a beta in the future?

Amazing moment to get som burning questions answered! Thank you so much

FF7 has to be my favorite rpg, will there be more to do on the remake?

FF8 Actually has a secret dungeon which is not shown in the map, where you can actually get Bahamut and Eden, after fighting Ultima Weapon which wields Cloud's Ultima Weapon. Also there are crazy hints that Rinoa is indeed Ultimecia, not to mention that Ultimecia's weapon in Dissidia are the Pinwheel which Rinoa used.

The fact that he confirmed FFX and FFVII being in the same universe (common link being Shinra) made me super happy. No wonder those are my two favorites. Very pleasant knowing this now. I'm happy they are taking their time with the Remake, because it's a lot to work with. There's gonna be a lot of high expectations with it. Hoping the gameplay is gonna be great (I love turn-based so I am sad that's no longer a thing) and the voice acting is my biggest concern. But still super excited. :D Great interview

Please ask him if we will ever see the classic games on PS4? I really want to play 1-6 again and feel like they totally missed this opportunity for the 30th anniversary. A lot of fans have been disappointed by the extreme focus on merchandise

💚 and hoping for the maybe to turn into a yes concerning FFVIII ps4 port.

Awesome! After just some minutes already clicked the subscribe button. May you ask again some time about the relation of FFII and FFIV? Seems like Kain was raised by Ricard from FFII... And DK Cecil's sword belongs also to a dark knight from the past...

Try and ask, will there be a remake for final fantasy vi?....

More on FF9! Best game

Yeah let's not freaking ask when will we get news on Final Fantasy VII Remake… let's not… OF COURSE

What event are they thinking about talking about FFVII Remake news? Also can they say how many fans based ideas they are putting into the game at the moment? Percentage if is possible.

Im a huge FF3 (FF6) fan, its by far my favorite by far. Ive beaten it so many times. There are so many things I need to know. Like since they hinted that Relm is Shadow's daughter then who is her mother?? Its never even been hinted at any point. SO many things I need to know!

4:09 FF7 is said to take place in around 1 month, the wiki shows a timeline that appears to be a month.

Lots of fascinating questions and answers. Well done 😊

Will Cloud's Crossdressing also be a feature? XD

this was awesome he is so open about the development!

knowing square's history with releasing ff games, I'd say it be a smart move to save money for a ps5 just in case, cause it wouldn't be a surprise if it ends up being a ps5 game due to the release taking too long.

No need to bother Kitase to debunk such dumb theories like "R=U" or "Squall is dead". Even a fetus can debunk those. They were debunked even before the game was conceived. I must admit it though: the FFVII and FFX relation surprised me.

i thought ffvii story took place Dec.9 - late January, about 6 weeks

Thank you for making this video

I would cry like a little baby if they announce a FF8 remake !!! I would pay 500 euros, Im obsessed with this game

I want to know if we can get a final fantasy 8 remake after ff7 and a final fantasy7 crisis core HD on the ps4.

Aaand Squall is not dead and Rinoa is not ultimecia. that should end the long time life theories tho

This is a big "Stop fucking theorizing"

Very interesting q&a Gotta say... Having subtitles on. Was hilarious what the system thought was being said

Preety underwhelmed with a lot of his answers. And honestly, some of them he didn't exactly knew what to answer because he didn't exactly write the story. Saying X and VII are on the same world because of one loose character from X-2, an extremely lazy and terrible game, is ridiculous. It should be a small nod like Cid appears in numerous titles. These two games don't deserve to share the same universe, imo. Also, while I think that the Squall is dead theory is kinda pathetic, the Rinoa = Ultimecia theory sounded so much more believable and added a lot more to the lore. A big shame that Kitase shot it down like that. And honestly I'll miss ATB Final Fantasy.

Snow Villiers is obviously still a popular character given to his recent Nissan commercial too, so will Snow have his own game in the future relating to his adventure during his disappearance in FF13-2, and how he ended up at the Colosseum and becoming the Patron at Yusnan? He should, it sounds like a great opportunity of an incredible game, it would also show us how he matures and copes with his own failure.

Are Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy VIII in the same world? 👀

Wow, an interview with the great man himself! Nicely done guy's and what amazing questions to ask! I'm so glad that we got yet more confirmation that FF7 and FFX are the same world. Although I remember another Square Enix staff member saying that it's the same universe but not necessarily the same world. These are important facts for me and my friend as we are currently working on a FF7 fan game called Rise of Shinra forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/final-fantasy-vii-rise-of-shinra.88257/

Will Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD and Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age see a port to Xbox One or Switch?How about the upscaled ports FFVII/IX ports?

I have trouble understanding how FF7 and FFX could exist in the same universe and be connected, let alone in the same world. Shinra is confirmed as 67 during FF7 and indeed couldn't be more than 70 in appearance. Assuming that Shinra in FFX was preteen (to give the best possible scenario), we're saying that in ~60 years: Blitzball (which the whole continent revolved around) was forgotten almost completely and devolved into nothing more than soccer; Spira was renamed to Gaia; the Al-Bhed got rid of the gene that caused a swirly iris pattern; Shinra was able to build a gigacity that not only produced more power than the rest of the world combined, but also got the rest of the world hooked on their power; and people turning into fiends if they're not sent or don't accept their death just stopped being a thing. None of this adds up. Even if we go with the info that @Süheda states below me, we're still throwing a lot of FF7 canon out of the window. The game itself states that the Cetra were the natives of Gaia and those that grew tired of the endless migrations settled to create the world we see during the game. There was no interplanetary travel ever mentioned in the game's history books that Sephiroth himself poured over, unless you count Jenova. Frankly though, it's not that big of a change. What is a big change is that Shinra was TRYING to get into space for the FIRST TIME a few years before FF7 occurred. That's Cid's whole story arc gone! You don't just forget space travel existed if you landed on a planet and had the wherewithal to build a megacity, even if you passed quite a few generations on that rock. The only alternative I can think of is that the Cetra were actually interplanetary travelers from Spira who landed on Gaia, lost ALL of their technology (again), renamed themselves the Cetra, had the gall to call themselves the original peoples, AND had mystical powers to heal the land. That's still a hard sell, especially since they had no such power during FFX and would likely grow to rely more on machina after its events. Even if this did happen, then we face another problem of how did the Shinra of FF7 ever learn of the technology that the Shinra of FFX prototyped if all of that was lost? That was still a thousand years before LANDING on Gaia, nevermind the time it took to reach their current tech level. That info would likely not be included on a space ship's database; a millennium-old dead-end doesn't seem that necessary for space travel. Even if it WAS included, what hope does FF7 Shinra have of even interpreting the information of a long-lost civilization if it was unrecoverable to the original peoples? That would be like losing our technology for HDDs and SSDs, finding them in a crypt, and then not only correctly guessing their power supply, but also the exact amount of power needed to not only interface with them, but also not fry them in the process. Oh yeah, never mind all the bits between your drive and your monitor AND they'd be in an unknowable language because there's not exactly a Rosetta Stone. Okay, but what if the FF7 Shinra reinvented the tech without ever knowing about FFX Shinra's research? The answer is that them being connected then serves no purpose to any story, because nothing from Spira makes it to Gaia apart from its peoples' genetics. Might as well have just stick to the original story. I'm all ready and willing to bend some lore to make it fit, but we're talking about core concepts and logical hurdles, here; the only things that match are Shinra's name (which FFs borrow each others' names as homages, anyway), an afterlife (which doesn't even follow the same rules, but being a different world and entity could work), and similar warfare tech. tl;dr No scenario logically adds up to Spira and Gaia being the same world or even the latter being a settled world. The same goes for the Shinra of FF7 being or knowing about the Shinra of FFX-2.

this was great. thanks

Are we getting Crisis Core HD for the PS4?

Final Fantasy VII release date 31 January 1997 Dissidia Final Fantasy NT Release Date 30 January 2018 on WW (World Wide) the next day 31 January 2018 will be immediately announced "Final Fantasy VII REMAKE" Release Date !!!! as a 21th birthday of FINAL FANTASY VII !!!!

Why are we never going back to the classic ATB battle system in the main Final Fantasy series? And why is Hiroyuki Ito not on the team like he was?

This Q and A is awesome. If possible I would like them to ask if it's possible to have a ff vii - 2. An alternate story or an IF story where Zack survived the crisis core story line and once again our main hero to use.

the Biggs and Wedge question is hilarious.

the turn based comment made me die a lil inside, i was so sad. I was actually excited about this remake because it would hopefully be turn based combat. why be like everyone else? They go turn based combat on games again sales will sky rocket.

WOW. I was right about ffvii and ffx being in the same world! You guys are awesome! SUBBED!! I too have a question. Is cloud in final fantasy tactics actually cloud from final fantasy vii? And if he is, why is he there?

I got a question: When is the official release date of Final Fantasy VII Remake?!

Jan 2018 FF7 Remake release date announce?

Mind blowing that final fantasy vii and ffx are in same world

Here's a question for Kitase-san. When will Square Enix work in collaboration with Bandai Namco to create a Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest & Namco Tales collaboration game? They talked about it in 2013, and have been silent ever since.

I hope they will remake ff8 too.

The denial of a return to turn based combat broke my heart. After FF15 I think I've finally given up on final fantasy.

I have a serious question, could you ask him next time, if Sephiroth and Cloud Strife was loosely inspired by the Chinese comic characters wind and cloud from Fung Wan?

No confidence in turn based? What fans are they listening to?

What? Gogo is not Daryl? Now I'm sad :(

People really thinking that they are gonna spare Aerith this time, when that was not only one of the most iconic things in gaming, but she would also be useless after because she wouldn't have anything to do in the world, but being just another party member with no purpose (if they can't make her do stuff when she's alive, but it's a thing that I highly doubt)

What about the 500yrs later scene after the credits in FFVII? It shows RedXIII with his two cubs looking at Midgar

When can we see more FF7R trailers / gameplay videos?

Great interview!

I thought it was already confirmed years ago FF7 and FF10 were connected? There is even a Buster Sword for Tidus in the game's files.

Maybe a short Gilgamesh anime that shows him travel through every game he has appeared in

No more turn-based? Square is giving in to the dew-drinkers! Feel bad for those who have to constantly mash buttons and have flashing colors. If you comment on this saying "goodbye," I'll already be gone.. but I can't expect to get the last word out on a dew-drinker, can I? Hah. Pathetic.

Great interview I got a question what was the 1/35 solders actually for in ff7 ✌️

Great video! Yohsinori-san is a good guy

FFVIII PS4 PORT?!... MAYBE?! BRUH THEY CANT JUST FORGET ABOUT FFVII! 😟

oh cool you guys asked my question, nice

He said the game is base on fans how they want it, so why the haters hating? Game looks great, same story, same scenes. What u want? Turn base? But the story and scenes are same...

Will we ever get free control of the airships and an open world map that was available from 1-9 on modern platforms?
