Game Informer asked Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's game director, Naoki Hamaguchi, 129 rapid-fire questions about the party's next adventure while visiting Creative Business Unit I during our recent cover story trip in Tokyo. During our chat, we inquired about the original Final Fantasy 7's rumored N64 version, Zack's importance in the remake, whether mainline entries will ever return to Nintendo consoles, and 126 other burning questions. Oh, and we also try to guess the next game's subtitle. My money is on "Reloaded."

    LMAO I am barely into this video and it’s making me so happy. I absolutely LOVE that you’re bringing some good humor and editing into this interview. Hamaguchi is quickly becoming very beloved by the FF7 community, this is epic.
  • Hamaguchi-san has won me over, this was hilarious and he seems like a genuinely nice dude and a passionate director
  • @amyroser
    4:40 The fact that Cloud was annoyed with Donkey Kong the most in Smash is the most random but funniest thing to me 😂
  • @cloudtg462
    I love Hamaguchi so much, man. He was a fan of FFVII back in the day, which makes him relatable. But also, as a dev in marketing and interviews, he shows that he is really passionate but super chill. Definitely my favorite Square Enix employee at the moment
  • @Tryhardblackguy
    I love how passionate he is about this game, it was probably a dream of his to work on a game like this. Also I called the multiverse story when I saw that the stamp chip bag had a different dog from the Remake timeline and people called me crazy. This stuff is always thought out. I cant wait for this game!
  • @OniLink99999
    I'm a really big fan of Hamaguchi (both as a personality and his design philosophy), and this interview only reinforces that! I really hope he gets to make a new numbered entry in the FF series one day =) This was really great fun guys - great job!
  • @sherlock.117
    As a Kingdom Hearts fan, I ironically never got into Final Fantasy until last year when I played FFXV and FF16 for the first time. I loved them. Then I noticed that I had FF7 Remake in my library for free from PlayStation with an additional free PS5 upgrade, and seeing that Rebirth is coming, I started Remake last night to know the story. I told myself that if I liked it, I’d get Rebirth. And I’m so getting Rebirth.
  • All of us during that scene according to hamaguchi: 😮 Edit: he was right 😮
  • @DirtyDandino
    15:10 Hamaguchi-san’s impression on this question is hilarious to me 😮
  • @KJames2345
    "How do you think people will react with that scene, you know the one" "😲"
  • @conleybaker3864
    Love the interview setup, your questions and Hamaguchi’s whole vibe. Fantastic interview!
  • @mickey8152
    Great interview, can´t wait to play FF7 Rebirth.
  • @burtwonk
    He’s the man! Once he’s done with the remake trilogy I hope they give him the next main line FF title if he wants it
  • This is how I expect us to communicate with outer space aliens when asking questions about life and afterlife and the universe. 👾
  • @hynad81
    That was a very fun interview. Love the lightheartedness of it! Hamaguchi seems to be a very fun and nice guy to be around. The candidness of it all was very enjoyable! Thanks for that.
  • @DarthKrytie
    I always love the rapid fire interview, but this one was especially wonderful because of how much Hamaguchi seemed to enjoy the interview himself.
  • @travisnorman
    This was delightful! So many laughs, and what a fantastic interviewer! Thank you so much for this, I can't wait to play FFVII: Rebirth!
  • @Franktasy7
    This was so enjoyable to watch and those were some fantastic questions and answers! Both of you's were on the same energy level! 😄
  • @bend.7590
    Such a good interview. The questions were lightning fast and kept me hooked
