Square Enix has kept a low profile regarding the development status of the third part of Final Fantasy VII Remake, but director Naoki Hamaguchi has shared some details that suggest the project is still progressing. During his participation in the Brazil Game Show 2025, Hamaguchi expressed his confidence that the game’s ending will be satisfying for both fans of the original 1997 title and new enthusiasts who have joined the saga through recent installments.
An impossible game in less than three installments
Hamaguchi emphasized that the decision to split the story of Final Fantasy VII into three parts was made in order to narrate the saga appropriately, using new technologies without cutting the essence of the story. “It’s a game with a truly large fan base. If we wanted to tell this story completely, it wouldn’t be possible to do it in a single title,” he commented, reaffirming Square Enix’s commitment to the community’s expectations.
Regarding gameplay, the director indicated that, although there will be no radical changes, new features are being implemented that will offer a different experience from what players have seen so far in the series. This intention for evolution is also reflected in Square Enix’s multiplatform strategy, which, according to Hamaguchi, will not affect the development of the installment, thanks to the adaptation to the technical differences between consoles, including PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S.
Finally, the development team is optimistic about the progress the game has made so far, describing it as “to perfection”. Although Square Enix’s official silence on the project prevails, Hamaguchi’s statements suggest that fans can expect an experience that “will be loved by all”.
