According to the Final Fantasy VII Remake producer Yoshinori Kitase, the game was delayed to allow the team “a few extra weeks to apply final polish.” He continued, “I, on behalf of the whole team, want to apologize to everyone, as I know this means waiting for the game just a little bit longer.”
Final Fantasy 7 initially released on the PlayStation in 1997 and is considered by many to be one of the best games in the series. The Final Fantasy 7 Remake was first announced at E3 2015.
