Final Fantasy 7 Remake director Naoki Hamaguchi during an event at the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth exhibition held in Saudi Arabia said the team is currently working hard on the third and final installment of the Final Fantasy VII remake series.
"The development team is hard at work as we speak, and we’re going to make the game something that even beats any expectations that you have towards the game," said Hamaguchi (via VideoGamesChronicle).
"I’m absolutely confident that the third game in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series will be one of the most loved, most popular games in the whole history of video games, once again."
Hamaguchi added, "We’ve done all of the ground work now, all of the story which has been built up through Remake and Rebirth. And now we’re in a great position so all the fans are wondering and expecting how the story’s going to end, where it’s going to go from here."
Producer Yoshinori Kitase added, "We really have listened very carefully and taken on board all of the feedback on the first two games on the series, and all of those learnings are going to be reflected in the third game, so it’ll be exactly what the fans are looking for.
"We hope you can look forward to that new synergy we’re coming up with right now, that merging of nostalgia and new innovation which will create something incredibly special.
"We really are looking forward to a date in the future when we can reveal more about what the third game will be, but I really can promise right now that it will be a game that perfectly reflects all of that passion that the fans have for Final Fantasy 7, so look forward to great things."

Man, could I pick apart much of this with passion as a fan of Final Fantasy 7. Alas, FF7Remake+R2 aren't for me.
Good. Then they can focus on a vagrant story remake.
I hope so, but pride comes before a fall.
I prefer SquareEnix stop making hype with words like "best in bla bla bla history", why they dont just make the game, do the marketing and then let the gamers decide if it will become the bla bla in history. I hope for the best, but if the sales again are lower, that quote will become a meme.
Glad to hear the somewhat soft sales did not deterr inbestment. Male it the best you can! Currently playing rebirth and like it quite a bit.
Well i mean they can do it, i like this have this mindset so they will give it all to the project. Ffvii is top 5 games of all time for me and this remake trilogy is pretty epic
should of just completed the story instead of the 50 hours of repetitive side quests but i did enjoy the 105 hours i put into it and i played through the part one a month before it come out
trash game 3 parts ruined it, made it long and boring
If the gap between this and the second part is 4 years like the gap between the first two parts was, it'll be 2028 when this is released. That's probably PS6 time, making this a three-gen remake of the original.
Yea.i dont think soo..rebirth got boring soo fast
It'll be the part of FF7 in most need of improvement, IMO. The first third of FF7 was phenomenal, the middle area was a mixed bag, but the last third (or so) of the game was kinda dull - I'm talking the stuff after Rocket town, when Cloud goes into the coma, all the long dungeons, Yufi's town, and the empty ancient ruins stuff. Although, there are still some diamonds in that final quarter, like some of the Airship scenes, the return to Midgar, the Winter town, and such.
For the critics perhaps, but for gamers it will likely be another good to great, but a somewhat controversial game. Probably a bit too padded for it's own good. Still the foundations are solid and the ABT system is a nice combat system.
