Final Fantasy 7 Remake Director Says Part 3 Won't Cut Story, 'Concise' Refers to Pacing

Naoki Hamaguchi emphasizes pacing and immersion to address fan concerns over scope.

Overview

  • Hamaguchi told VGC that earlier remarks about Part 3 being “more concise” were misconstrued and do not signal the removal of original Final Fantasy 7 story content.
  • He said the team’s goal is to streamline pacing and enhance immersion so the narrative moves at a brisk, satisfying tempo without trimming core material.
  • The director described development as progressing well and said he is very confident, with further news teased for the not-too-distant future.
  • The third entry does not yet have an official name, and coverage notes it still has a substantial portion of the original story to adapt.
  • Hamaguchi highlighted that the core development team has largely stayed intact across the trilogy and may continue together on a new project after Part 3.
