Naoki Hamaguchi, the director of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, recently set high expectations for the upcoming game, declaring that it will be “one of the most loved, most popular games in the whole history of video games.”
This bold claim is grounded in the development team’s commitment to not only meeting but exceeding fan expectations by reflecting on feedback from the first two parts of the remake series.
“I am absolutely confident that the third game in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series will be one of the most loved, most popular games in the whole history of video games once again.” – Naoki Hamaguchi, Director of Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3
The creative team behind the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, including veteran producer Yoshinori Kitase, has been focused on crafting a game that perfectly balances nostalgia with new innovations. Kitase expressed that they have listened carefully to fan feedback and are incorporating it into the third installment to create a synergy between the original game’s beloved elements and fresh, modern gameplay mechanics.
“We really have listened very carefully and taken on board all of the feedback on the first two games on the series, and all of those learnings are going to be reflected in the third game, so it’ll be exactly what the fans are looking for.” Yoshinori Kitase, Producer of Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Hamaguchi also highlighted that the development process is being approached with great care and ambition, with the team aiming to expand the world of Final Fantasy 7 even further than before. Despite the high expectations set by the success of the previous two parts—Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth—the team is confident that the final part of the trilogy will not only conclude the story in a satisfying manner but also leave a lasting legacy in the gaming industry.
While no release date has been confirmed, the anticipation surrounding the final installment is immense. Recently, Square Enix was considering about utilising Unreal Engine 5 to develop Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3. This could enhance the game’s visuals and performance, though this has not been officially decided.
