Final Fantasy 7 Remake Trilogy Director Shares Update About Part 3

by

So, the director of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, Naoki Hamaguchi, just revealed they’ve already picked the core idea – the keyword, if you will – that’s going to drive the story and gameplay of the third game. He mentioned that the first game’s keyword was ‘reunion’ and Rebirth focused on ‘bonds,’ and both of those really shaped what those games were all about. It sounds like this new keyword is going to do the same for the final part of the trilogy!

Okay, so for a while, *Final Fantasy 7 Remake* and *Rebirth* were only available on PlayStation, but Square Enix seems to be changing things up. They just announced that the first game is coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S on January 22, 2026, and that *all* the games in the *Final Fantasy 7 Remake* trilogy will eventually be on those consoles too. The big question now is whether the third game will still launch first on PlayStation, or if they’re going straight to a multi-platform release this time. We’ll have to wait and see!

The Keyword For Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3’s Design Philosophy Has Been Decided

Following an earlier update about a potential release timeframe for *Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3*, producer Yoshinori Kitase shared another detail about its development. In a recent interview with JPGames, Kitase revealed that the development team has already chosen a central theme, or “keyword,” to guide the gameplay and story of the next installment. While he didn’t disclose what that keyword is for *Part 3*, Kitase did explain the keywords used for the previous games. For *Final Fantasy 7 Remake*, the keyword “reunion” focused on reintroducing players to the characters and world. For *Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth*, the keyword “bonds” highlighted the importance of relationships between characters and how those relationships evolved throughout the story.

Hamaguchi revealed that early, playable versions of *Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3* hinted at the game’s overall theme. He also confirmed that this third installment will be the epic conclusion to the *Final Fantasy 7 Remake* saga, promising a satisfying ending for the series. The story will continue directly after the events of *Rebirth*, picking up immediately following what happened in the Forgotten Capital.

Despite not being officially scheduled for the 2025 Tokyo Game Show, Square Enix hinted that updates on *Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3* are coming soon. Fans will have to wait and see exactly when Square Enix reveals more about the final chapter in the trilogy.
