The same thing I complain about every year. The lack of an FFVIII remake. ;)Woot! What will SE haters complain about once KH3 and FF7R have been released? Any unreleased announced projects left on the list?

RDR2 is far from being the rule, c'mon. FFVIIR wont be as big, engrossing or have as high a budget as that game. Few companies can throw hundreds of millions of dollars to produce a single game as Rockstar does.Woot! What will SE haters complain about once KH3 and FF7R have been released? Any unreleased announced projects left on the list?
Red Dead Redemption 2 apparently took 8 years. I dunno if that's true or not.

You have ppl here saying its a 2019 game, lol.How can anyone be saying early 2020 after what happened with FFXV
This shit is 2021 at the earliest
This was about 2018.
I believe these comments when I see actual reveals.
Kitase-san mentioned that the game's development is going well. Asked his goal for 2018, he explained that about the remake he'd like to work on "comfort," also playing on words by mentioning that on a personal level hopes to take it easy (using the same word, "raku" which means "ease" or "comfort") if possible.

Hamaguchi goes on, after Nomura leaves, to comment on the long draught of info since the first trailers, and apologizes. He goes on to say that the project has moved completely in-house, and is again, progressing very smoothly. At the current point they're at the stage where they're basically cramming a bunch of stuff into the game, but once they hit the stage of polishing up the look of things and can deliver something with suffuciently high quality, they will be releasing new footage.
He anticipates this will be in the near future due to how smoothly things are progressing.
Kitase then signs us off by making the joke previously mentioned in the thread, saying he wishes to keep on polishing up the game for the 35th anniversary, to which they all laugh and Hamaguchi responds objectingly "Hey that's a long ways off!"
He then however, also goes on to say that a lot is hanging on the next (presumably big) event, and that they're hoping to show off (the game) by then.

It's been three years since we've seen anything from Square Enix regarding its episodic remake of Final Fantasy VII. The game was a no-show again at E3 this year, but it remains in development, according to Tetsuya Nomura, who has a hand in the title along with directing Kingdom Hearts III. "We are developing [Final Fantasy VII] in parallel, and it's not just in the early concept stages," he tells The Verge. "We are actually in development."
The longtime Square Enix developer says he's been giving equal effort to both highly anticipated games. "So right now, it's like I've been putting in 100 percent into Kingdom Hearts, 100 percent into Final Fantasy VII, 100 percent into Kingdom Hearts... just going back and forth," he says. "It's just like [working on] two titles is just going to be one [after Kingdom Hearts III's launch]. That's pretty much how I see it."

Final Fantasy VII Remake director Tetsuya Nomura commented on the status of the game's development in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu.
Here are the tidbits:
"We're trying to figure out when we will put out the next news release.""Production is going well.""The scenario will also delve into the members of Avalanche.""[Development] is moving along more than expected, so please wait for the next news release with peace of mind."

Square Enix Holdings 38th General Meeting of Stockholders [June 2018]
Question: Regarding Final Fantasy VII Remake, it's been three years since it was announced at E3 2015. About what percentage has development progressed?
Shinji Hashimoto: "I can't say a single word about that. As it has been reported, we took a second look at the development structure and continued from there. It's certainly hitting its milestones accordingly."
Yosuke Matsuda: "There is a lot being said about it, but it's progressing as it should so please don't fret. Things are coming along well."

When asked about Final Fantasy VII Remake during a recent interview, director Tetsuya Nomura said he acknowledges that there's been some fake news [Likely about the rumored 2023 release window] and fans may feel uneasy about it but he said the development is going favorably and solidifying.
However, Nomura said that the lack of new information on Final Fantasy VII Remake has nothing to do with its development Status. According to the director, the reason for this is because Square Enix is prioritizing the release of other titles, including Kingdom Hearts III.
Square Enix is currently looking ahead for a possible timing to release new information on Final Fantasy VII Remake, and Nomura asked fans to wait a little while longer. Kingdom Hearts III releases in January 25-29, 2019, so hopefully we'll get a more steady flow of news on the game after its release.

Kitase:
Keyword: Long-awaited!
Thoughts: Development on Final Fantasy 7 Remake is progressing smoothly! I would like to try hard to meet the expectations of fans.

But what we really care about is 16 directed by Ito. Where is it?
This was about 2018.
I believe these comments when I see actual reveals.
We got Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, FFXV:Pocket Edition, and World of FF:Maxima!! Aren't those good enough for you?! ;P
Exactly! Yuji Horii is the one person from Square Enix Japan that does this. How much time did it pass between him announcing DQXI and releasing it over there? I dont think it was more than two years!
Anything more than that between announcement and release is stupid. Sony also does this but not as bad.
NT is doesnt really count since its just a port lolWe got Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, FFXV:Pocket Edition, and World of FF:Maxima!! Aren't those good enough for you?! ;P
I'm sure the game is mulplatform at this point.
And he also delivered a spectacular game, without any behind the scenes drama, delays, engine or team changes and he did it while delivering basically two very different versions of the same game on two very different platforms.It was exactly two years. Dragon Quest XI had its first reveal in the summer of 2015.
A déjà vu every year for more than a decade whew.The date in which we will share the next piece of information about the game has already been decided and we would like to ask the fans to just hold on a little longer.

tbf, it's been a lot of these comments all year long now even from the SE president at a shareholder meeting - here a compilation:No idea how some vague lines about the games development proceeding smoothly is any sign of a 2019 event? I just see FF7R as FF Versus XIII redux.
I fully expect this to have been pushed to be a day-one title for PS5.
December 31st, 2019: "We are pleased to announce that development on FFVII Remake Episode 1 is progressing smoothly. We estimate the game is 60-65% complete."
Because FFVIIR is being worked on for real now unlike Versus XIII in the 2000s ?How can anyone be saying early 2020 after what happened with FFXV
And miss the enormous user base of PS4? lol.I fully expect this to have been pushed to be a day-one title for PS5.
That said, it's probably worth mentioning that DQ and FF had their positions reversed during the SNES/PS1 era. DQ was constantly delayed, by years at a time, and that only recently changed (which Horii attributes to working on the MMO, and the efficiency that has given the team).It was exactly two years. Dragon Quest XI had its first reveal in the summer of 2015.
