Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy’s Part Three will have new ‘gameplay experience’
Naoki Hamaguchi has confirmed that Final Fantasy VII Remake Part Three will deliver a new gameplay experience, with development already progressing on what he describes as a “fitting climax” to the trilogy.
The third and final instalment in the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy will introduce a fresh “gameplay experience,” co-director Naoki Hamaguchi has said.
While Hamaguchi did not elaborate on exactly what form the new experience might take, he emphasised that the creative vision will remain intact even as the developers integrate lessons from Rebirth.
Speakinh with NTower, he said: “So, like I said, there's not a huge amount ... I can't make any specific announcements about the third game in the series today. It's not the time, we're not ready for that yet.
“But I can talk about it in fairly abstract terms of how we're approaching it. As you're very much aware, the first game in the series, Final Fantasy VII Remake, was a more story driven linear gaming experience and then that evolved and changed into a more open world adventure for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second game.
“And that seems to be very well regarded. People seem to like that change a lot and they like the new gameplay direction. So, we're very happy with that.”
He added: “But moving forward to the third game in the series, obviously I can't say exactly what it is, but I don't want to deliver just exactly the same style of gameplay experience as we had with Rebirth again.
“We're going to evolve it and change it again to give another different and fresh take on the Final Fantasy VII gameplay. Again, that will be revealed in the not too distant future.
“I can say we're working on it and we're trying to change that because we've actually got a build up and running in the development team right now where you can experience that new style of gameplay.”
Hamaguchi concluded the title was “going in the right direction” and “the development is going very well”.
