As part of a Q&A session, the team behind FF7 Remake 3 made ambitious statements that should delight fans about a finale that promises to be apotheosis.
It was in particular the responses to fans from Motomu Toriyama, co-director of FF7 Rebirth, that caught the attention. He believes that FF7 Remake 3 could be better than the second opus, and even than the legendary original game, on many points.
Greater freedom in FF7 Remake 3
If we are to believe Square Enix, FF7 Remake 3 might not be as desired as Rebirth compared to the first opus. A large part of the work would indeed have been shortened thanks to the direction taken by the second episode. This one not receiving DLC, the finale of the trilogy could arrive in 2027. However, the team clearly does not intend to rest on its laurels, in order to offer a final episode that fans will remember.
This is particularly what the well-informed Nagia reported, translating a Q&A session around FF7 Remake 3. Motomu Toriyama, co-director of Rebirth, first returned to the fact that Square Enix intends to offer in the next game more freedom for players. This will include, among other things, the Highwind, the last vehicle in the game, which has the luxury of being flying. Cloud and his friends should therefore be able to explore each area of the third episode in any order.
A truly apotheotic finale?
However, this would not impact the quality of the story, far from it, according to Motomu Toriyama. In particular, it would be a question of proposing an ending “ even more memorable and moving » than that of the original game. This perhaps comes in response to Rebirth’s controversial ending. We saw this precisely with the two previous episodes: the Remake tells a story quite different from that told in the basic work released in 1997 on PS1. In this sense, the interviewee promises that all the mysteries still unsolved will also find an answer in FF7 Remake 3.
On paper, this final episode of the trilogy therefore looks particularly promising for fans. However, you will need to have a little patience to see the final result. Likewise, the question arises regarding the exclusivity of FF7 Remake 3. Square Enix recently announced that it wanted to maximize its profits by opening up to other platforms. Since Rebirth will probably have been ported to PC by 2027, a simultaneous release of the last opus of the trilogy on PS5 and PC would not be entirely excluded, unless an exclusivity agreement signed with Sony from the genesis of the Remake of the legendary Final Fantasy 7. We have time to see all this coming, however.
