Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Will Have A Slightly Different Angle On Mini Games

As a gamer, I understand that repeating the mini-game formula from Rebirth to the third chapter might not thrill fans. It’s like saying, “Should we stick with this same balance in the future? Have we already reached the pinnacle of perfection? If we merely replicate the same elements for the next game in the series, it wouldn’t offer much novelty or excitement anymore. I aim to introduce a fresh twist, shake things up a bit, and give the next game a slightly distinct feel.

What’s Hamaguchi’s obsession is with integrating mini-games in Final Fantasy 7? It’s due to making sure the game doesn’t feel repetitive and how, in most open-world games, the player does the same regardless of the area visited. “I play a lot of games, a lot of open world games, and something I feel whilst playing a lot of these games is that you’ve got the core mechanics – or their fighting systems – and most of the content you’ll encounter, most of the places you can go, most of what you’ll be doing, can get repetitive. [These games] just use the same mechanics. There are no real changes, there’s nothing new to experience around the different regions of these worlds,” Hamaguchi notes.

In Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, you’ll find 21 mini-games to explore. Some might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but there are some engaging options that can help fill your gaming hours. Rest assured, the abundance of mini-games doesn’t diminish the overall quality of the game. Critics have appreciated it, and FF7 Rebirth is a strong contender for Game of the Year at the upcoming The Game Awards ceremony.
