If we're lucky I guess. But it could be earlier as it's episodic, and there's no more Naruto games I think. So Cyberconnect2 can focus squarely on FFVIIR

Not sure if hiring Sakaguchi back would bring back what you expect from the game since I don't know what you expect out of it, maybe can share why you want Sakaguchi to come back?

Edit: Or what you feel Sakaguchi could bring to this game?

I get your point that for a lot of people, FFVII was their first experience with a FF game. Many will feel that they should have the same people working on the game before to bring back the same magic. Maybe it's my personality that I'm not a nostalgic person, played FFVII so many times over the years that I kinda wish that they would move on from VII and do something new. Which, from what I've seen of the remake has me excited because they aren't doing the same thing over again.

Would I love seeing Cloud cross-dress, or the dolphin jump into Junon, XIII trying to fit into a sailor's costume or that cat fight on top of the cannon in HD? Maybe. Would I love to see a retelling of the old story with new gameplay styles and set pieces, I want that more. Also bring in Crisis Core into the main story as well, so we know why Aerith has a soft-spot for SOLDIER, Cloud's insecurities and the whole of Wutai.

It's difficult to please both sides, but I hope that they can come to a balance of old and new. While we're at it, there's this great article on Polygon about the creation of FFVII.

Yeah, that's what I feel. Better to do what they are good at and create something memorable instead of copying and falling short. At least then we will have two versions that we can enjoy rather than the real one and the fake poser one.
