Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 Well Underway, Director Confirms

Hamaguchi, the game director, assures fans that development on the highly anticipated sequel is progressing well, but urges patience for further updates. He highlights the success of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in 2024, citing its award wins and global appeal as a springboard to expand the game's fanbase with unique challenges in the upcoming third installment.

Hamaguchi also acknowledges the impact of Grand Theft Auto VI, expressing admiration for Rockstar Games and understanding the pressure they face following GTA V's phenomenal success.

While specifics remain undisclosed, Hamaguchi offers reassurance that the third game's development is proceeding smoothly. This is noteworthy given the recent release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. However, he promises a truly unique experience for players.

Despite the positive outlook on the sequel, the director acknowledges that Final Fantasy XVI's May 2024 launch sales underperformed, falling short of initial projections. While precise sales figures remain unannounced for both Final Fantasy XVI and VII Rebirth, Square Enix maintains that neither title is a complete failure, and that Final Fantasy XVI still has potential to meet its targets within the allotted 18-month timeframe.
