Final Fantasy 9 Remake Potentially Teased by Final Fantasy 14 Dev

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth enjoyed widespread critical acclaim upon its launch earlier in the year on a level that no game in the series has in a long, long time- though it seems that critical acclaim isn’t quite translating to commercial success in the manner that Square Enix would have hoped for.

It’s still difficult to wrap your head around how Square Enix managed to make a game as massive and diverse as Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in the short amount of time that it did, and it looks like the company is hoping to do the same with the remake trilogy’s final instalment.

Following the release of the Ultimania compilation for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, game producer Yoshinori Kitase stated that the development of the highly anticipated third entry in the series could lead to a shorter release window. Kitase said that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was developed in three years following Final Fantasy 7 Remake's Intermission DLC thanks to the retention of team members, which led to an efficient development period that he hopes to continue into Part 3.

Square Enix has given fans an update on the status of the third and final part of its Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy.

According to a new chat with Final Fantasy VII Remake producer Yoshinori Kitase, the third and final game in the new trilogy is aiming for a 2027 release date. This would keep a slightly quicker pace than the previous two titles in the series, with Final Fantasy VII Remake released in April 2020 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth released on February 29, 2024.

It is no exaggeration to say that Final Fantasy Tactics is one of the most successful spin-offs in the long history of Square Enix's IP.

Nobuo Uematsu, the legendary composer of the original Final Fantasy 7, recently stated that he would love to return for the third Fantasy 7 Remake game. 1997’s Final Fantasy 7 was a groundbreaking JRPG experience for its time on the original PlayStation, wowing gamers with its cutting-edge 3D graphics, emotional storyline and characters, and moving soundtrack that contains some of the Final Fantasy franchise’s most iconic themes. A modern-day reimagining was on many players’ wish lists well before Final Fantasy 7 Remake was first announced in 2015, and its release five years later was met with much critical acclaim and record sales on the PlayStation 4.

Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu has confirmed he'll be back with a main theme for the final part of the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy.

Nobuo Uematsu has agreed to compose the main theme for the third game in the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy.

With Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth out now on PS5 and earning extensive accolades from critics, the development team is focusing on the third and final entry of the Remake saga. Though it hasn’t announced a release window or even an official name, a new 42-minute video is available where Rebirth composer Nobuo Uematsu, scenario writer Kazushige Nojima and creative director Tetsuya Nomura talk about the trilogy.

The long-awaited Final Fantasy XVI crossover is coming to Final Fantasy XIV on April 2 and running through May 8. Fans have been waiting for what seems like eons for the collab, which was initially teased in a trailer back in October 2023.

Final Fantasy XVI producer Naoki Yoshida has shared much news at PAX East. To begin with, during the panel held last Friday, we learned a lot about the upcoming Rising Tide DLC, which drops on April 18 for PlayStation 5 and adds a new area, ally, and the Leviathan Eikon.
