Summary
Naoki Hamaguchi said his next project after Final Fantasy VII Revelation will likely be a new JRPG, with options ranging from a smaller AA game to a new Final Fantasy or even a new AAA franchise.
Revelation, due in the first half of next year, is still his priority as he finishes the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy after more than a decade focused on the series.
Hamaguchi pushed back on fan speculation about leading a Final Fantasy VI remake, saying he is not interested in another remake and that such a project may be better handled by someone else at Square Enix.
The shift would mark a new phase for one of Square Enix's younger senior creators, whose next credited release is also set to be the first in the trilogy to launch simultaneously across all major platforms.
