As journalist Jason Schreier noted, this is a rarity in the industry. Usually, after a project is completed, developers are transferred to other teams or new games. In the case of the Final Fantasy VII remakes, most specialists have been working on the series since 2020.
Square Enix believes that high team retention allowed them to maintain a fast development pace. For modern AAA games, which are increasingly taking 5–7 years to create, this approach has become a significant advantage.
