The final Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy is a rare thing in a lot of ways – not the least of which is the fact that its dev team has largely stayed together for the decade the project's been in development. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi thinks that's been part of what's made Remake and Rebirth special, and he's planning to keep the band together for another project even after Part 3 finally launches. Hamaguchi says "we haven't had to do this for the Remake project, definitely – certainly the key members, the core members of the team, will stay the same very much throughout all three games. And I think that really has helped us grow and evolve and become more refined and more capable as a team. Our experience really has grown as we work on each new game." After Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's controversial ending, director insists Part 3 is "in safe hands" and the JRPG's finale will "really reward everyone for sticking with us to the end" 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 director promises Part 3 news "in the not too far future" and tells fans he's "running straight to my hotel room and back to checking some of the levels" The Final Fantasy 7 remake project properly got underway in 2015, so the devs will have soon spent a full decade working together on the series. That stretch will get even longer by the time Part 3 is finally done, and Hamaguchi doesn't plan on letting that experience working together go to waste. "I think once we have got out the third game in the series, and hopefully it's a big success, we'll definitely move on to something else, and it'd be great to see what that team that we've managed to build up together produces," Hamaguchi says. "I don't know if it's the right way of talking about it, but the bonds, the relationship between the team has definitely improved a lot and strengthened that team. " Hamaguchi says he isn't sure whether the team's next project will be a completely new IP or a fresh Final Fantasy game, but whatever's next for these devs, it sounds like they're sticking together. Final Fantasy 7 Remake director promises Part 3 news "in the not too far future" and tells fans he's "running straight to my hotel room and back to checking some of the levels."
