Speaking in a new interview with gaming podcaster Danny Peña, he said: "I've been hearing things about creators out there who are very interested in the property who love the Final Fantasy 7 universe. And so, yeah, personally, I would love to see something come out of these creators in terms of a cinematic or some kind of visual piece."
The hit game was already turned into the anime film ‘Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children in 2005.
The animation was helmed by Tetsuya Nomura and only released on DVD.
