[dropcap]S[/dropcap]quare Enix has decided to make some changes regarding the development of Final Fantasy VII Remake. Square had decided to shift the development from third party developer CyberConnect2 to in-house at Square Enix.

Noaki Hamaguchi, programmer on Lightening Returns, and Project Lead for Mobius Final Fantasy, will now be leading the Remake. As of this past week, Hamaguchi has been actively seeking effects designers, a programmer, and battle and level planners to help work on the project. Development was originally focused on external help with CyberConnect2 being a partner but now Square has more of an internal focus on the game. Hamaguchi revealed during a livestream of Mobius that  “The Company has decided to shift to an internal setup, including mass production and quality, because we want to control everything, including quality, on a stable schedule.”

It is also important to note that Hamaguchi is not leaving the team of Mobius Final Fantasy which is good for fans of the mobile game.

The Remake is currently in development as a Playstation 4 exclusive.
