FF7 Remake Part 3 is Now Story Complete, Smooth Sailing From Here

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

Director Hamaguchi and producer Kitase have confirmed that the main storyline for Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is finished, and development is progressing smoothly. This exciting news ensures the trilogy's conclusion remains on track for release.

Development Remains on Schedule

In a recent Famitsu interview, Hamaguchi stated that development is proceeding without delays, having commenced immediately after completing FF7 Rebirth. Kitase echoed this sentiment, confirming the story's completion and expressing satisfaction with the result. He highlighted the collaborative effort with creative director Tetsuya Nomura to deliver a satisfying conclusion that respects the original while adding its own unique flair.

Initial Concerns About Rebirth's Reception

Despite the critical acclaim and widespread success of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (released early 2024), Kitase and Hamaguchi admitted to initial anxieties about player reception. The positive response, however, has boosted confidence and created a positive atmosphere for the final installment. Hamaguchi's "logic-based approach" to development, incorporating player feedback strategically, has been instrumental in the game's success.

Embracing the PC Gaming Market

The developers also addressed the rising popularity of PC gaming. Kitase noted the increasing 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 strategic shift. Hamaguchi emphasized the accelerated PC port development compared to the first game.

With the successful launch of FF7 Rebirth on PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5, and the promising progress on Part 3, anticipation for the trilogy's grand finale is at an all-time high. The possibility of a faster PC release for Part 3 further enhances the prospect of a global, accessible experience for all fans. Final Fantasy VII Remake is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC (Steam).
