Hamaguchi c’est quelque chose, l’obsession amoureuse évoquée non pas comme une passion dévorante mais comme un enfermement, une aliénation. Fascinant. #LastFourWatched

Here’s an 8 day old interview from Hamaguchi (FF7 Remake director) saying that he doesn’t see them using AI in a creative sense and that Square has no company wide AI policy (6:30), but sure show a photo of FF7 in your caption ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some sort of reveal of Part 3 at TGA this year is all but certain. Hamaguchi has done a ton of press in the past couple of months.

Naoki Hamaguchi quer um Final Fantasy ao estilo de Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — foco artístico, combate por turnos e narrativa intensa. Seria o spin-off perfeito para a Square Enix explorar o formato AA! 🎮🔥 #FinalFantasy #ClairObscur #SquareEnix
Naoki Hamaguchi, diretor de Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, afirmou que adoraria criar um jogo ao estilo de Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
A declaração foi feita em entrevista ao GamesRadar, onde Hamaguchi elogiou o título da Sandfall Interactive como seu favorito para Jogo do Ano. Ele destacou o equilíbrio entre ambição artística e foco de design como inspiração para futuros projetos da Square Enix. Escopo AA com excelência artística: Hamaguchi vê Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 como um exemplo de projeto AA bem-sucedido, onde a equipe escolhe um aspecto específico — como narrativa ou combate — e o leva ao mais alto nível de qualidade, sem depender de um orçamento gigantesco como nos jogos AAA.

'Final Fantasy VII Rebirth' Director Naoki Hamaguchi said he would love to do a AA game with a simliar scope as 'Clair Obscur Expedition 33' but for that he would have to ignore his role at Square Enix.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi avoids choosing between Tifa and Aerith in the iconic shipping war, focusing instead on Cloud's happiness.
Players can decide their own path in the game, with more content coming in Part 3.

FF VII Rebirth Director Naoki Hamaguchi says he'd love to make an AA game with the scope of Clair Obscur.
But it wouldn't be possible given the reality of his position within Square Enix and what they'd want him to make.
