The development team behind the highly anticipated titles Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has kept its roster almost intact for nearly a decade, under the direction of Naoki Hamaguchi. This approach has allowed the team to build strong relationships and improve their collective work, which is expected to be reflected in the third installment of the trilogy, provisionally known as Final Fantasy 7 Part 3.
Expectations are poor advisors
Hamaguchi has expressed his enthusiasm for the future once this third installment is completed, noting that his team is ready to explore new projects, whether it’s a completely new game or an expansion within the Final Fantasy universe. “I can’t specify at this moment what it will be, but I’m looking forward to what’s next,” he stated. This leaves room for speculation that we could see both innovations within the saga and the birth of new franchises.
Although fans are eagerly awaiting the third chapter of the series, Hamaguchi has promised that information about its release will be shared in the near future, which generates even more anticipation among the gaming community. In this context, theories about the content and gameplay of this upcoming installment continue to proliferate on social media and discussion forums.
An interesting aspect highlighted by the director of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is the growing influence of artificial intelligence in the video game industry. Hamaguchi stated that his team aspires to be “good enough creators” to surpass any contribution that AI may offer, reaffirming their commitment to creativity and quality in their productions. In this sense, the team’s vision focuses on producing meaningful gaming experiences that resonate with players, anticipating that what is to come will be equally exciting.
