If we’re interpreting that correctly, Square Enix is still putting together target footage, meaning production hasn’t actually kicked off. That certainly matches up with earlier comments that Final Fantasy 7 still has a way to go.
Kitase went on to make a comment about raising the quality bar part way through Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s episodic release if a new generation of consoles is released. that should give you an idea of the time frame Square is expecting.
If the idea of waiting for an episodic series to finish through multiple console generations worries you, you’re not alone; Famitsu asked how Square would fill in the gaps between Final Fantasy 7 Remake episodes. Kitase didn’t have a solid answer, but said the publisher will find a way “to supplement those gaps to maintain interest” given that “the game volumes won’t be something that we can release in just a few months”.
A few years back Square Enix boss Yosuke Matsuda said he didn’t want to keep fans waiting endless years (and whole console generations) between announce and release any more, which is probably one of the reasons why Tetsuya Nomura was booted off Final Fantasy 15 sometime after the whole name change from Final Fantasy Versus 13 thing. But Matsuda only has been incumbent for less than four years, and it seems the publisher still moves at Square Enix time for now.
