Video games take longer and are harder to develop compared to when SquareSoft was around. They'd take just as long to develop the FF7 Remake as Square Enix is.

My best guess is 2020-2021. Square Enix took over development from CyberConnect2 in 2017 and likely scrapped a lot of what they worked on. They also likely didn't have Tetsuya Nomura involved with the project too heavily until he completed Kingdom Hearts III development near the end of 2018.

I think the first installment ends up on the PS4, but the second episode of FF7R ends up on the PS5.
