Final Fantasy 7 Remake Director Addresses Concerns About Multiplatform Release Strategy

Naoki Hamaguchi, the director of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, recently announced that the game is nearing completion and is still on track for its planned release. He also hinted that Square Enix will share more information about the final installment in the FF7 Remake trilogy soon.

Square Enix hasn’t officially announced the name of the third installment in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series yet, though creative director Tetsuya Nomura has already chosen it. The development team is keeping the title a secret for now. However, they’ve confirmed the game will be built using a modified version of Unreal Engine 4 instead of the newer Unreal Engine 5, as the team is more familiar with the older engine. Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 is in development for all current gaming platforms, and there’s speculation it will be released on all of them simultaneously.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Development Update

After the successful release of Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade on Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S, director Hamaguchi provided an update on Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3. In an interview, he stated that development is proceeding well and is currently on track with the original plan for the entire Final Fantasy 7 Remake project. He explained that the game is now playable and the team is focused on polishing and enhancing the experience. Hamaguchi anticipates that Square Enix will be able to share more information about the final installment soon.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Will Not Compromise Its Graphics

Following some fan worries about the graphics of the next Final Fantasy game, Hamaguchi assured players that releasing the FFVII Remake series on multiple platforms won’t reduce the quality of the third game. He explained that their development process is designed to maintain high standards regardless of the number of platforms. The team always considers the technical specifications of each console – like processing power, graphics card, memory, and storage – during development. While the Xbox Series S has less memory than the Series X and PlayStation 5, Hamaguchi stated they optimize games for each system individually, ensuring that limitations on one console don’t affect others with more capacity. Regarding storage, he believes the Switch 2’s new Game-Key Card system won’t impact other platforms because game data won’t need to be compressed to fit it.

As a huge fan, I was really curious about how Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth would run on the Switch 2 when it was announced for that platform and Xbox on June 3rd. Apparently, the team decided to target 30 frames per second on the Switch 2 and Xbox Series S, which makes it easier for the more powerful consoles to hit 60 FPS. They’re also carefully tweaking things like how detailed the environments are on each platform to avoid any slowdowns. What’s cool is that Square Enix is sticking to their approach of making the PC version the best-looking one, and they’re actually building the game with high-end PCs in mind first, then adjusting it for consoles. From what I’ve heard from Hamaguchi, it sounds like they’re making amazing progress – he said the game is improving daily and that each playthrough feels fresh and exciting, which is incredibly reassuring!

It May Not Be Long Before FF7 Remake Part 3 is Finally Unveiled

The unexpected reveal of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth during the February 5 Nintendo Direct led many fans to ask when Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 would be announced. While some predicted the February 12 State of Play presentation, Square Enix didn’t showcase the game there. Although it’s still several months away, Summer Game Fest, scheduled for June 5th, will happen just two days after Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth releases on Switch 2 and Xbox.

It’s unclear if Square Enix will respond to recent events, but fans eager to experience the Final Fantasy VII Remake story can now do so for less. Starting February 9th, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is permanently priced at $49.99 on PC and PS5, well before its release on the upcoming Switch 2 and Xbox consoles.
