As Square Enix revels in the critically acclaimed release of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on the PlayStation 5 on February 29, the development team is currently basking in the praise and glory following a job well done. But this is a temporary reprieve.
According to the insights shared with The Washington Post, FF7 Rebirth Game Director Naoki Hamaguchi has revealed that the development for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 is well underway, with significant advancements already achieved.
Apparently, a key focal point for the threequel is the integration and enhanced role of the Highwind, the iconic airship from the originalFinal Fantasy 7.
The Highwind, known for its critical role in the latter part of the original game, will receive a more prominent place in the remake trilogy's concluding chapter. The airship facilitated exploration on a grand scale in the 1997 classic, allowing players to traverse the vast world with freedom previously unseen in the narrative. Hamaguchi's intention to spotlight the Highwind doubles down on the expansion of exploratory elements and an open-world experience that transcends the ambition of FF7 Rebirth.
