Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3: Story Complete, Full Steam Ahead!
Directors Hamaguchi and producer Kitase recently confirmed that the main storyline for Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is complete, and development is progressing smoothly. This exciting news ensures the trilogy remains on schedule for its highly anticipated release.
In a Famitsu interview, Hamaguchi stated that development began immediately after completing FF7 Rebirth and is proceeding without delays. Kitase echoed this sentiment, confirming the story's completion and expressing satisfaction with the outcome. He highlighted the narrative's aim to honor the original while delivering a satisfying conclusion that surpasses the original.
Despite the critical acclaim and widespread success of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (released early 2024), the development team initially harbored concerns about player reception. Kitase and Hamaguchi acknowledged anxieties about following up the first installment, but the overwhelmingly positive response to Rebirth has boosted confidence in the upcoming finale. Hamaguchi credits the team's positive atmosphere to the success of Rebirth.
Hamaguchi's "logic-based approach" to development, detailed in a separate Automaton interview, involves incorporating player feedback strategically. Suggestions aligning with the overall goal are considered for inclusion.
The team also addressed the growing dominance of PC gaming. Kitase noted the rising development costs and the need to reach a broader audience, highlighting the global accessibility of PCs compared to consoles. This led to a faster PC port release for Rebirth than its predecessor. Hamaguchi emphasized the shift in player demographics as a key factor in prioritizing the PC version.
The positive reception to the first two installments, combined with the completed storyline for Part 3, promises a thrilling conclusion to the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy. The team's experience and commitment suggest a potential faster PC release for the final game, expanding accessibility for global fans.
