He quickly introduced the concert, and mentioned he’ll be watching from home as well. Nothing newsworthy here.Secondly,another messagefeaturedFinal Fantasy VII Remakemusic supervisor Keiji Kawamori. Here too, nothing groundbreaking.
However, the third message, published on February 8, is pretty intriguing.

" target="_blank" rel=“noopener”>message is from Motomu Toriyama - co-director ofFF7R. In it, Toriyama first quickly introduced the concert as well, mentioning FF7R has many new BGM compared to the original game. So he’s looking forward to hearing an orchestra version of it all.
However, Motomu Toriyama also revealed theFinal Fantasy VII Remakeconcert will include a bonus talk show with the developers, and he’ll be participating as well. He explained elements related toFF7Rwill be revealed there. It’s possible we might get some news or announcement through this part of the concert. However, it’s likely he simply meant development stories.
It’s likely the future messages until the concert this weekend will expand a bit more on what this developer talk will be. Moreover, seeing the staff appearing on the videos so far, it’s likely one of the messages will feature Tetsuya Nomura.
TheFinal Fantasy VII RemakeOrchestra World Tour was firstannouncedback in January 2020, with the first concerts held in Los Angeles in June 2020. The concerts include several orchestrated tracks from theRemake, including the gameâs theme song,Hollow, by Nobuo Uematsu. While the Japanese dates of the concerts have beencanceled, an online version, with a paid ticket system, is still happening on February 13. This is what everyone should keep their eyes on.
Personally speaking, I believe the most likely scenario would be a simple developers talk onFF7R, with no real announcement. However, Square Enix could definitely seize the occasion to announce the PC version ofFinal Fantasy VII Remakeat the concert. A PC version has been all butconfirmed. While a PS5 version was much less hinted at than a PC version, it has a very high chance of happening as well.
