The Final Fantasy VII Remake is going to be a massive undertaking, as the soon to be released first part will only cover the events up to Midgar. Director Yoshinori Kitase is committed not only to the project but to the saga as a whole, as he is ready to work on it for the rest of his career if necessary.

Speaking with GameSpot, Yoshinori Kitase revealed that they want to keep the original Final Fantasy VII updated so that it continues to be loved by future generations. And he's willing to continue working on the game for as long as possible.
