Kitase says new games are likelier, while remakes remain possible.

Asked how Square Enix balances new games with remakes, Yoshinori Kitase said the company is more likely to invest in new titles. That’s his description of its direction, not a formal company announcement—and it leaves a route back for older games. He described Final Fantasy VII Remake as a special case: he and other original creators wanted to make something new connected to the old game so new players could discover its appeal. Kitase said there could be other cases where Square Enix invests in remakes, but he did not confirm a project.
