Square Enix and the Japanese Anniversary Association announce “Final Fantasy VII Day” is now officially registered in Japan as an national anniversary day.
The ground-breaking JRPG from the original PlayStation will be celebrated on January 31 in Japan, which is now registered as Final Fantasy VII Day. Square Enix made it official on Final Fantasy VII’s 26th anniversary in Japan.
To celebrate the inaugural Final Fantasy VII Day, Final Fantasy VII Remake project producer Yoshinori Kitase shared a special message to fans. Additionally, a photo of Kitase and the official anniversary certificate were taken alongside Cloud, Sephiroth, Moogle, and Chocobo plushes.
Kitase’s full message may be read below:
The 31st of January 1997, the day that Final Fantasy VII came out, was not just a significant day for the Final Fantasy series, but also marked when so many big things started moving for those of us who worked on the game.
I remember being overwhelmed at the breakneck speed with which video game technology was evolving, but also dreaming big things for the future.
With the establishment of this official anniversary day, I will now always remember these things, and hold them dearly in my heart.
Yoshinori Kitase
Director, Final Fantasy VII
Producer, Final Fantasy VII Remake project
