Development On Track

He expressed confidence that this ending will satisfy fans of the original game and the Remake series.

Rebirth's Success and Initial Concerns

Despite the critical acclaim and widespread success of FF7 Rebirth, the development team initially harbored concerns about player reception. Kitase acknowledged the pressure of following up the first installment and the inherent challenges of a remake trilogy. However, the overwhelmingly positive response to Rebirth has boosted the team's confidence and created a positive environment for the final chapter. Hamaguchi highlighted the impact of this positive feedback on the development of Part 3.

A Logic-Based Approach to Development

Hamaguchi, in an interview with Automaton, described a development philosophy prioritizing logical additions to the game's core design. While incorporating player feedback from beta testing, the team focuses on suggestions that enhance the existing vision, rather than drastically altering it.

Embracing the PC Gaming Market

The developers also discussed the growing dominance of PC gaming. Kitase highlighted the rising development costs and the need to reach a broader audience, emphasizing the global reach of the PC market compared to consoles. This shift in the gaming landscape influenced the decision to release the PC port of FF7 Rebirth more swiftly than the first game's PC version.

Hamaguchi explained the team's focus on a faster PC port release for Rebirth, reflecting the changing dynamics of the gaming market.

With the successful launch of FF7 Rebirth on PC and the completion of Part 3's story, anticipation for the final installment is at fever pitch. Fans can expect a thrilling conclusion, and potentially a faster PC release than its predecessors, ensuring a global audience experiences the complete Remake Project.
