Will There Be A New Compilation?

[Sephiroth]

There will not be a "new" Compilation as far as it means really new. They will surely just adjust the old one to finish the Final Fantasy VII universe in this new continuity and say "that's what the COFFVII is now and how it ends".

- Sephiroth in AC was not defeated, hinting his return with his final sentence
- Genesis returned in DoC
- Yoshinori Kitase said in 2008 (!) "the Compilation's finale will need a different form"
- Tetsuya Nomura said there is no sense i making HD remasters because they are currently not coherent with the story which is no wonder because of adjustments and the fact that, and that was the only real time why I thought it might only be Midgar, because as "not far" as they are now they do not need the Compilation right now as nothing in Midgar demands it
- Yoshinori Kitase said they will incorporate Compilation stuff if they can; the least thing I think that will be included will be some cliffhanger for Advent Children (like some Black Lifestream or whatever) as it was the first real thing they made that had nothing to do with cameos or whatever

Which they already did on a small scale. But not as far as relevant story goes. Cloud has the Compilation SOLDIER emblem for example and not his old one that in CC Nero and Weiss have.

So to answer your question, if you mean by "new Compilation" just a remake of the old one through slight adjustments in the main remake or maybe even their own retellings with adjustments, sure. If you mean "fully retconned beyond recognition so nothing of Geostigma or Deepground is to be seen anywhere" then no.

But hey, I am all in for more new stuff. I am not waiting for the Remake primarily but for a Final Fantasy VII-2 that happens after DoC. For years.

If I were a betsman I'd say they "renew" the Compilation and then announce a sequel.

Making one game out of On the Way to a Smile and Advent Children would be an option. But I am also fine if OtWtaS stays the book it is. It does not need a renewal. Same for the Turks story.

Or finally bringing out Before Crisis on something that is not a Japanese mobile phone.

Of course if they actually do decide to make HD remasters and ignore the inconsistency, which is nothing new for anything fictional and then bring the sequel, I'll also be down for that.
