The director of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy has recently talked about the state of the game, confirming that development has been progressing well. The last entry in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy still does not have a release date, but it’s eagerly awaited by gamers who played the first two parts of the story.
Released in 1997 for the original PlayStation, Final Fantasy 7 is often considered one of the best games in the Final Fantasy franchise. The title was so successful that it spawned a few spin-offs, such as Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy 7 and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7, as well as the Advent Children movie. In 2015, a new remake trilogy was announced, with the release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake in 2020, followed by Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth early in 2024.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s Scrapped DLC is a Double-Edged Sword for a Beloved Character
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s lack of DLC leaves one character’s story in a precarious position, raising questions about their role in part 3.
Now, gamers are eagerly awaiting the release of the final entry in the Final Fantasy 7 trilogy, which does not have a release date, but it seems that its development is progressing without issues. According to a recent interview with Famitsu (via Twisted Voxel), FF7 Remake’s director Naoki Hamaguchi has revealed that the development of the final entry is “progressing well,” and the team would like to take on new challenges to further expand the fanbase. Unfortunately, Hamaguchi did not provide any new details about the game, but asked fans to “please wait a little longer” for more announcements.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3's Director Confirms Game is "Progressing Well"
This is the latest of a few comments Hamaguchi shared about the upcoming FF7 Remake: Part 3. Back in November, the director and the producer Yoshinori Kitase revealed that the game’s plot is already entirely mapped out and that its pre-production phase is complete. At the time, he also confirmed that gamers would be able to fly with the airship around the map, emulating what they were able to do in the original game.
Before the end of the trilogy is available, however, gamers will be able to play Final Fantasy 7: Rebirth on PC. The game recently had its PC port confirmed for January 23, and gamers can already pre-order it. It’s also possible that the FF7 trilogy may come to Xbox Series X/S eventually, as Square Enix recently showed interest in reaching more platforms, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
While the development of the last entry in the trilogy happens, the developers are still supporting the first two games. Last week, Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth also received new updates, which fixed DualSense vibration issues on both games.
