Exploring the Future of Final Fantasy VII Remake: Director Naoki…

Square Enix’s Final Fantasy VII Remake has been a long-awaited and highly anticipated project for gamers worldwide. With the successful release of Part 1 and Part 2, fans are eagerly waiting for the final installment, Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3. In an exclusive interview with Bloomberg, director Naoki Hamaguchi shared some exciting insights into what fans can expect from the upcoming game.

Revisiting the Past: Rocket Town and Wutai

One of the most significant changes in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was the reordering of certain story elements. For instance, players met Cid Highwind without visiting Rocket Town, and Wutai, an optional area in the original, was missing. Hamaguchi confirmed that both locations will be present in Part 3. “Yeah, this is one of the elements we had to switch around with Rebirth,” he said. “Rocket Town is one of the main locations. Yuffie’s made a very prominent appearance, stating her case about her homeland. So if Wutai’s not featured, I think the fans are going to yell at me.”

Revisiting the Past: Airships and Underwater Exploration

Two of the most beloved and infamous parts of Final Fantasy VII’s end-game are using the Highwind airship to travel around the world map and the Chocobo breeding mini-game. Hamaguchi was more cryptic about these elements. “Flying the Highwind is a very large part of the third installment,” he said, adding that they want to “expand” on the experience for the remake. “I can’t say yay or nay on the actual breeding,” he continued. “But there is an element in the third installment involving Chocobos that is a little different than Rebirth.”

As for underwater exploration and Huge Materia missions, Hamaguchi was tight-lipped. “I can’t say much about that,” he said. “But we want to create a rich and immersive world for players to explore, and underwater environments are a significant part of that.”

Looking Ahead: The Future of Final Fantasy VII Remake

Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is expected to begin where Part 2 leaves off, at the Great Glacier. Hamaguchi reiterated that this is where the third game is likely to begin. “The Great Glacier is an essential part of the Final Fantasy VII story,” he said. “It’s where the journey begins, and it’s where the characters face some of their most significant challenges. We want to create an experience that stays true to the original while offering new and exciting elements for fans to discover.”
