After the Ultimania compilation release for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, producer Yoshinori Kitase hinted at a potentially shorter development period for the much-awaited third entry. Kitase credited the efficient three-year development of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth post Final Fantasy 7 Remake's Intermission DLC to team continuity, aiming to replicate this success for Part 3.

Ranked among the top video game releases of 2024, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth stands as Square Enix's latest solo addition to the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series. From Kalm's meadows to poignant moments in the Forgotten Capital, the game covers much of the original's initial disc. A month post-launch, Square Enix unveiled the Ultimania compilation for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, offering glimpses into the development process while leaving fans curious for Part 3.

Although the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Ultimania is Japan-exclusive, translated excerpts circulating online reveal Kitase's commitment to quality over speed, aiming for a streamlined production akin to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. Notably, Kitase clarified the four-year gap between FF7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, with one year dedicated to the former's Intermission DLC. If Part 3 follows a three-year cycle post Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, it could launch in 2027, coinciding with the original's 30th anniversary.

Exciting Potential for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3

Despite Square Enix's denial of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth DLC plans, fans find hope in the completion of Part 3's main script, hinting at imminent voice recording. Director Tetsuya Nomura shared insights on Kitase's envisioned concepts for Part 3, sparking anticipation among enthusiasts.

While DLC is off the table, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth undergoes updates to address lingering issues. The wait continues for the much-anticipated third chapter of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake series.
