Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was among the biggest of the Golden Joystick Awards 2024 winners today, taking home four of the seven awards it was nominated for - the most of any game at the fan-voted event. It's also tied with Astro Bot for the most-nominated game at The Game Awards this year. Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi believes this is vindication for Square Enix's decision to turn the JRPG remake into a trilogy.
"I think when we first announced that we were going to do the Final Fantasy 7 remake project not just as one game but as a series of games, which ultimately became a trilogy, there were a number of different reactions to that - mixed reactions, I think," Hamaguchi told GamesRadar+ backstage at The Golden Joysticks.
