One of the most popular installments in the Final Fantasy franchise is celebrating its birthday today! That’s right, Final Fantasy VII turns 25 today; it launched in Japan in 1997. The game was released for the PlayStation console.

On this occasion, the project producer and creative director of Final Fantasy VII have released a statement commemorating this occasion on Twitter. The game also received a remake in 2020 and has been a major hit amongst fans. Here is what the Final Fantasy bosses had to say.

Final Fantasy bosses share a special message for game anniversary

The Final Fantasy bosses are extremely elated to share a special message on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of Final Fantasy VII. Furthermore, this is also the 35th anniversary of the franchise, which goes to show just how impactful the franchise has been. Final Fantasy VII came out in the 10th year of the franchise.

Sparing some thoughts about the game, Yoshinori Kitase, the director of FFVII and project producer of FFVII Remake, says, “Personally, I had always thought of FFVII as a recent game, but it has actually now become one of the games from the ‘early series’. Even so, we were honored last year when it was voted as the third most popular game ever by gamers in a (Japanese) TV poll. That we could achieve like that is very much thanks to all the support we have had from our fans over the long years. Thank you so much.”
