First, battle director Teruki Endo spoke about how the whole team focused on expanding battles and the wider gameplay cycle for Rebirth. For the third game, he says that he is currently thinking about how \u201cto give the player even more freedom.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Art director Shintaro Takai comments that he is already working on the third game in his head. He references all the little playful touches in both Remake and Rebirth (such as Red XIII\u2019s Shinra uniform disguise and dance during the cruise boat section) that FF7\u2019s expansive universe and lore make possible. However, Takai explains that the design team is still not 100% satisfied and plans to put everything into making the final part of Final Fantasy 7 remake even more detailed.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"577\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20240531-31772-001.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Square Enix Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth prototype footage\" class=\"wp-image-31779\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20240531-31772-001.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20240531-31772-001-380x183.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20240531-31772-001-768x369.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20240531-31772-001-600x289.jpg 600w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth prototype<\/em>.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Director Naoki Hamaguchi comments that he hopes Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth\u2019s expansive world will give players a sense of how Final Fantasy can evolve in the future. As for the final part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, Hamaguchi explains that, \u201cWe very much want to give the fans a different kind of gameplay experience to what they had in Remake and Rebirth.\u201d Regarding the fans that are waiting eagerly for the next game, he adds,&nbsp;\u201cI will strive to finish it as soon as possible, while also ensuring that it is of high quality.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first part of the remake trilogy, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, was released 5 years after it was initially announced. Fans then waited another three years for the second part, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, to come out. However, we can probably expect the third and final part to come out sooner, considering that many of the fundamental elements are already in place, including the development team, systems and assets. Rebirth had a powerful ending, with many fans looking forward to the final part of the beloved game\u2019s remake.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u30b7\u30ca\u30ea\u30aa\u00d7\u30ef\u30fc\u30eb\u30c9\u00d7\u30d0\u30c8\u30eb \u300e\u30d5\u30a1\u30a4\u30ca\u30eb\u30d5\u30a1\u30f3\u30bf\u30b8\u30fcVII \u30ea\u30d0\u30fc\u30b9\u300f \u3053\u3060\u308f\u308a\u306e\u639b\u3051\u7b97\u3068\u9650\u754c\u3078\u306e\u6311\u6226\u3010#\u30b9\u30af\u30a8\u30cb\u306e\u5275\u308a\u304b\u305f\u3011#FF7\u30ea\u30d0\u30fc\u30b9 #FF7R\" width=\"1160\" height=\"653\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j4fE8ATUr3s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This episode of Inside Square Enix contains a lot of behind-the-scenes insight, such prototype footage and in-depth discussions about Final Fantasy VII Rebirth\u2019s development process.
