Shinji 'Please Be Excited' Hashimoto has stated that 2018 will prove to be "a big year for Final Fantasy". The Square Enix producer lets the tease loose in an interview with Edamame Arcade Channel, which you can watch in full above.

So, what's happening with the beloved franchise next year? Well, we already know that Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is due out in January, but beyond that, we suppose the publisher must have some surprises in store. As Hashimoto puts it: "Next year will be the 31st year [since Final Fantasy's debut], and our teams are busy working on new titles." He continues: "Next year will be a big one, and we will bring exciting, new Final Fantasy titles to the world."

Of course, Hashimoto could be referring to a bunch of mobile titles for all we know, but this is the kind of stuff that's going to generate a lot of speculation. Final Fantasy VII Remake? We're certainly not getting our hopes up, but we at least know that it's in development. Kind of. Maybe.
