Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Director, Naoki Hamaguchi Asks for Modding Restraint, Opens Up About DLC

With Final Fantasy VII Rebirth set to launch on PC on January 23, 2025, director Naoki Hamaguchi shared insights about the release in an interview with Epic Games. He discussed the modding community, DLC possibilities, and the team’s broader development focus.

Hamaguchi acknowledged the passion and creativity of fan modders, expressing admiration for their work. However, he urged modders to exercise restraint, particularly when creating or sharing offensive or inappropriate content. He emphasized the importance of preserving the game’s integrity and maintaining an enjoyable experience for all players.

Regarding DLC, Hamaguchi revealed that the team had initially considered releasing episodic story content alongside the PC version. However, resource constraints led to a strategic decision to prioritize completing the trilogy’s final installment. While there are no immediate plans for DLC, he mentioned that the team remains open to exploring it if there’s significant post-launch interest from players.

The PC release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is poised to be a landmark moment for the series, building on the success of its predecessor, Final Fantasy VII Remake. Rebirth promises an expanded open world, immersive storytelling, and enhancements tailored for PC gamers.

This release also highlights Square Enix’s growing commitment to the PC platform, following recent titles like Final Fantasy XVI. For fans eagerly awaiting the continuation of this beloved RPG, January 2025 marks the chance to experience Rebirth in all its glory.
