Yoshinori Kitase, the director of the unique Ultimate Fantasy 7 and producer on Ultimate Fantasy 7 Rebirth, has stated he hopes the collection doesn’t finish with the remake trilogy, even when he’ll now not be concerned with it.

This comes from the Ultimate Fantasy 7 Rebirth Ultimania guide, which just lately launched in Japan and supplies extra context and perception on the characters and story. It additionally contains feedback from key workers members like Kitase, which have been shared on X (previously Twitter) by famous translator Audrey.

In keeping with her, Kitase hopes “the world of FF7 could proceed on even after ending the FF7 Remake Mission trilogy.” Mentioned venture started with 2020’s Ultimate Fantasy 7 Remake, with the second installment—FF7 Rebirth—launching this previous February. Does this imply the story gained’t wrap up with the third sport? No, Kitase has additionally stated he needs to deliver the trilogy “to a detailed,” and even hopes to see Cloud and his companions get a cheerful ending, which they completely deserve after all of the trauma and heartbreak they’ve endured thus far.

Given the recognition of the Ultimate Fantasy 7 collection, it wouldn’t be shocking if Sq. Enix saved issues going with new spin-offs as soon as the remake trilogy is completed and dusted. I wouldn’t say no to seeing Tifa get her personal sport, or how about remaking the Vincent Valentine-centric Dirge of Cerberus? Any such tasks possible gained’t contain Kitase since, as a result of his age, he thinks half three of the remake trilogy might be his final involvement with Ultimate Fantasy 7. That is the explanation why he needs to “end the trilogy on a constructive notice with out abandoning any unfinished enterprise.”

Particulars in regards to the third remake are extremely slim, however there’s a lot to be enthusiastic about. Apart from persevering with the emotional rollercoaster of a narrative and clearing up that whammy of a cliffhanger in FF7 Rebirth, we’ll be seeing Vincent and Cid change into totally playable social gathering members. Plus, we should always achieve entry to an airship, very similar to within the authentic FF7, so we are able to freely fly all over the world, although it’ll be fascinating to see how this might be carried out for the remake. The truth is, in one other translated put up by Audrey, Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi stated he’s “questioning how precisely to signify the liberty of flying in an airship with a sport in such excessive graphic element.”
