“The secret, Hamaguchi said, was a trait that many other video-game studios don’t seem to prioritize: team chemistry. Between 80% and 90% of the Final Fantasy VII Remake development team stuck around to make Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, which allowed for more efficient development, even during the height of the pandemic”
Even though it still took them quite some time, I think many people underestimate how important it is, to have a stable, experienced team.
I hope it turns out as great as the first Remake.
