Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth have kept more or less the same development team at Square Enix together for the better part of a decade, and director Naoki Hamaguchi doesn't want that change – not for Part 3 of the remake trilogy, and not even for whatever the next project after that will be. Hamaguchi continues, "I can't say at this point what that's going to be, whether it's going to be a completely new game, completely new IP, whether it's gonna be something new within the Final Fantasy series, but I'm really looking forward to it. I think fans who've seen what our work has been on the Remake series, the three games, will really look forward to this exciting, new gameplay experience. What we work on after that, I'm very much looking forward to working on that myself as well." Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director says defying industry norms and keeping the dev team together for the whole RPG trilogy was key to its success: "That's quite a rare thing" Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 is "shaping up nicely" with much of the JRPG "already playable," says director Naoki Hamaguchi: "Development is going extremely well" Final Fantasy 7 Remake series lead doubts that "the exact same battle system" from the revamped JRPG trilogy will make it into his future games: "We want to keep it surprising" It's likely to be quite some time before Part 3 comes our way, though Hamaguchi says news is coming "in the not too far future." Either way, that's all the more time to speculate on what the team will build afterward. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director says "however much AI might try and intrude and take part in the creative side of things," his team would want to be "good enough creators" that "we could do better than AI."
