Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 development well underway - game director

Game director Hamaguchi recently provided an update on the highly anticipated sequel, urging fans to exercise patience as new details will be revealed at a later date. The team is diligently working on the project.

Hamaguchi highlighted the success of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in 2024, noting its numerous awards and global player reception. This success fuels the team's ambition to expand the FFVII fanbase further with the unique challenges planned for the third game in the trilogy.

Interestingly, Hamaguchi also mentioned being impressed by Grand Theft Auto VI, expressing his understanding of the pressure on the Rockstar Games team given GTA V's phenomenal success.

Specifics regarding the third installment remain under wraps, although Hamaguchi assures fans that development is progressing smoothly. Given the recent release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, this news is encouraging. However, he promises a truly unique experience for players.

Despite this positive outlook, the May 2024 launch of Final Fantasy XVI fell short of projected sales targets, though the exact figures remain undisclosed. Similarly, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth sales also underperformed initial forecasts, though Square Enix has refrained from labeling it a complete failure. The company remains confident that Final Fantasy XVI can still meet its sales goals within the allotted 18-month timeframe.
