At the Brasil Game Show 2025, Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy game director Naoki Hamaguchi revealed development details for the series' final chapter, confirming the third installment will deliver a "brand new gaming experience" and explaining the decision-making process behind splitting the classic work into a trilogy.
Innovation and breakthrough in the final chapter
Naoki Hamaguchi assured long-awaited fans that the final installment in this remake project will satisfy both new and returning players. He emphasized that the third installment will not simply continue the open-world design or traditional story-driven format of the previous game, but will instead innovate upon the foundation of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and offer a different gameplay experience.
The unique design concept of the trilogy
According to Naoki Hamaguchi, each game in the trilogy has its own unique design focus:
• The first installment, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, focuses on plot advancement
• The second part, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, focuses on a vast open world and high degree of freedom of exploration.
• The third installment will offer innovative gameplay based on the previous installment
Reasons for the decision to split the trilogy
Naoki Hamaguchi also explained the key reason for splitting the Final Fantasy 7 remake into three parts. The development team felt that condensing all the content into a single work would inevitably require cutting out many fan-favorite scenes, a situation they didn't want to see. Hamaguchi admitted, "Fans would never forgive us for that." Ultimately, the development team made this difficult but necessary decision.
Currently, the final third part of the "Final Fantasy 7" remake is under active development. Although the specific release date has not yet been announced, Naoki Hamaguchi's remarks have provided important guidance for the direction of the game for fans around the world, and people are looking forward to how this epic remake project will come to a perfect end.
