FF7 Remake Part 3 Story Completed, Development Smoothly Progressing

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 smoothly. This exciting news assures fans that the highly anticipated conclusion to the trilogy remains on schedule.

Development Remains on Track

In a Famitsu interview promoting Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's PC release, the team revealed that work on Part 3 commenced immediately after Rebirth's completion. Hamaguchi stated that development is proceeding without delays, adhering to the original project timeline. Kitase echoed this sentiment, confirming the story's completion and expressing satisfaction with the results. He emphasized the team's commitment to delivering a satisfying conclusion that honors the original while adding its own unique elements.

Initial Concerns About Rebirth, Now Allayed

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 the pressure of following up the first installment and the inherent challenges of a remake trilogy. However, the overwhelmingly positive response to Rebirth has boosted the team's confidence and created a positive atmosphere for the final chapter. Hamaguchi highlighted the team's logical approach to development, incorporating player feedback strategically while maintaining a clear vision.

Embracing the PC Gaming Market

The developers also discussed the rising prominence of PC gaming. Kitase noted the increasing development costs and the necessity of reaching a broader audience, particularly considering geographical limitations on console distribution. The team's swift release of the PC port for Rebirth reflects this strategy, aiming to deliver the experience to a global player base more rapidly than with the first game's PC port. Hamaguchi emphasized the shift in gaming demographics as a key factor in prioritizing the PC version.

With the successful launch of Rebirth on PC (via Steam, and PlayStation 5), and the positive progress on Part 3, fans can eagerly anticipate the grand finale of the Final Fantasy VII Remake project. The possibility of a faster PC release for Part 3 further enhances the anticipation for a worldwide simultaneous launch. Final Fantasy VII Remake is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam.
