FF7 Remake Part 3 Storyline Finalized

Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3: Story Complete, Full Steam Ahead!

Director Hamaguchi and producer Kitase recently confirmed that the main storyline for Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is finished, and development is progressing without setbacks. This exciting news ensures the trilogy remains on track for its anticipated release.

Development On Target: No Delays Expected

In a Famitsu interview, Kitase and Hamaguchi revealed that work on Part 3 commenced immediately following the completion of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Hamaguchi stated development is proceeding smoothly and according to the original project timeline.

Kitase further clarified that the narrative, initially completed before Rebirth's PS5 launch in February 2024, has undergone final polishing and is now finalized to his satisfaction. He emphasized the story's aim to honor the original while delivering a satisfying conclusion.

Initial Concerns About Rebirth's Reception

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 acknowledged anxieties about following up the first game's success, but the overwhelmingly positive response alleviated those fears and boosted confidence for the final installment.

Hamaguchi highlighted the team's methodical approach, incorporating feedback from beta testing while maintaining a core vision. He explained a focus on prioritizing suggestions that enhanced the overall goal, rather than simply implementing every idea.

The Rise of PC Gaming

The developers also addressed the growing dominance of PC gaming. Kitase noted the rising development costs and the need to reach a broader audience, particularly in regions with limited console penetration. The team's decision to prioritize a swift PC port of Rebirth reflects this strategy.

Hamaguchi emphasized the shift in the gaming landscape, leading to a faster turnaround for Rebirth's PC release compared to the first game's port.

With the positive reception of Rebirth and the completed storyline for Part 3, anticipation for the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy's conclusion is at fever pitch. The possibility of a faster PC release for the final game is also exciting news for global fans.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is available now on PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5. The first installment, Final Fantasy VII Remake, is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC (Steam).
