Final Fantasy VII Revelation Producer Yoshinori Kitase Hints That Square Enix Is Interested in Movie Adaptations and New Games

Yoshinori Kitase, producer of the Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy and director of the original Final Fantasy VII, was optimistic about the possibility of more movie adaptations for Final Fantasy games and hinted that Square Enix is likely interested in pursuing original IP moving forward.

It seems like every major video game developer is hawking out their IP for TV and film adaptations these days. And, for the most part, many of these have been quite successful: Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil movie has become one of the most profitable horror films of all time, and the Sonic film franchise is so popular that a fourth movie is on the way.

One developer that’s been notably absent from this trend is Square Enix. While the Final Fantasy games have had their fair share of adaptations over the years to mixed reception from fans (The Spirits Within is a good movie, dammit, and I’ll die on this hill), we haven’t seen one on the big screen in quite some time.

IGN’s Michael Peyton got the chance to speak with Yoshinori Kitase at the Lucca Comics & Games Festival 2026, where he asked about Square Enix’s plans for future movies. And while Kitase couldn’t tell us much, his response was optimistic.

“Given the fact that we created this game, the remake of Final Fantasy VII, which explored the world of Final Fantasy VII way more than the original version, I think that it would be nice to have in the future games or TV series inspired by the story of Final Fantasy.
