Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Won’t “Betray the Fans of the Original,” Producer Says

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of gaming under my belt, I can confidently say that I’ve seen my fair share of remakes and reboots. The anticipation for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy has been a rollercoaster ride, and hearing about Rebirth and its potential changes has me both intrigued and slightly apprehensive.


Similar to how Final Fantasy 7 Remake did previously, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s narrative cleverly manipulates and defies assumptions, offering a captivating twist on familiar elements. Despite adhering to many of the main story points you’d anticipate, it also introduces notable alterations. However, its creators aim to reassure longtime fans of the original game that by the conclusion of the trilogy, their expectations will not be compromised.

In an interview with Anime News Network, producer Yoshinori Kitase has given promises that the upcoming third part (or whatever it gets named) of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake will maintain a consistent storyline, yet strive to offer a fresh sense of fulfillment for players that the original Final Fantasy 7 couldn’t provide in its time.

In response to various speculations among players about how different the story might be from the original, Kitase shared his thoughts: “I don’t believe the remake will stray far from the original,” he said. “We’ve always aimed to respect the source material, and I think fans of the original game can still expect a faithful adaptation. However, it’s been 27 years since the release of the first Final Fantasy 7, and we have ideas that we feel are unique to this remake project. These changes aim to offer a fresh, satisfying experience for players revisiting the game now.

Previously this year, Tetsuya Nomura, the creative director of the trilogy, announced that the team was actively working on the upcoming part. Subsequently, Yoshinori Kitase mentioned that Square Enix aimed to complete development in approximately three years, implying a potential 2027 release for the last instalment of the remake trilogy.
