FF7 Remake Part 3 Story Complete, Prepares for Launch

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

Directors Hamaguchi and Kitase have confirmed that the main storyline for Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is complete, ensuring the trilogy remains on schedule. This exciting news follows the successful launch of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth on PC and its overwhelmingly positive reception.

Development Progressing Smoothly

In a recent Famitsu interview, the development team revealed that work on Part 3 commenced immediately after completing Rebirth. Hamaguchi emphasized the project's adherence to its original timeline, promising fans a timely release. Kitase further confirmed the story's completion, expressing satisfaction with the narrative's conclusion. He highlighted the creative director's (Tetsuya Nomura) dedication to delivering a satisfying resolution that honors the original while adding its own unique elements.

Initial Concerns About Rebirth, Now Overwhelmed by Success

Despite Rebirth's critical acclaim and widespread popularity, the team initially harbored concerns about player reception, acknowledging the pressure of following up the successful first installment. The overwhelmingly positive response to Rebirth, however, has boosted their confidence and created a positive atmosphere for the final chapter. Hamaguchi's logical approach to development, incorporating player feedback while maintaining a clear vision, has been cited as a key factor in Rebirth's success.

Embracing the Rise of PC Gaming

The developers also addressed the growing dominance of PC gaming, noting the increasing trend of simultaneous or near-simultaneous PC and console releases. Kitase highlighted the rising development costs and the need to reach a broader market, particularly considering the limited console penetration in some regions. The team's commitment to a wider audience is evident in the expedited PC port of Rebirth compared to the first game.

The positive reception of the first two installments and the completed storyline for Part 3 promise a highly anticipated and potentially faster PC release for the final chapter of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is currently available on PC (Steam) and PlayStation 5, while the original Final Fantasy VII Remake is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC (Steam).
