The development team behind Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth didn’t always know when the game was going to end, and it could have left off at a different point in the original’s story. After almost four years, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has finally been released, continuing the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, Sephiroth, and the rest of the cast that fans know and love from the original Final Fantasy 7 and its many spin-offs. Just like Final Fantasy 7 Remake before it, FF7 Rebirth only retells a fraction of the 1997 PlayStation classic’s plot, picking up where its predecessor left off with Cloud and his friends escaping Midgar.
First Draft Of Final Fantasy Remake Part 3's Story Is Already Done

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's creative director, Tetsuya Nomura, has revealed that the first draft of the final game in the Remake trilogy's story has already been completed.
It's only been a year and a half since Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was first announced, but it's certainly felt a lot longer than that since Remake launched all the way back in 2020. As excited as most fans are to finally get to reunite with Cloud and spend hundreds of hours in Rebirth's game world, it seems that the developers are already looking ahead to the third and final game in the trilogy.
As reported by Twitter user aitaikimochi, Tetsuya Nomura and several other developers on Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth recently spoke to Famitsu about the game's impending release. Although most of the focus was, as you'd expect, on Rebirth, there were some questions about the third and final game in the trilogy, which were surprisingly answered.
During the interview, Nomura revealed that the first draft of the main storyline for Final Fantasy 7 Remake's third entry has already been completed but that there is "much to be done" on the game still. Don't go expecting to see it any time soon after Rebirth launches, but it seems like the main plot has already been set in motion.
This isn't the only planning for the third game that's been done, either, as Nomura also revealed while talking to Famitsu that airships are going to be introduced in the next game .
After Nomura noted that work on the third game is already underway, Rebirth's producer, Yoshinori Kitase, said that the trilogy's main writer, Kazushige Nojima, has submitted a complete outline for the game for the team to follow and that it's up to them to make a reality. Kitase also said that he and Nomura are there to supervise the process and provide ideas for it.
During the interview, Rebirth's director, Naoki Hamaguchi, also noted that he prefers if the story in the Remake trilogy is taken care of by developers who worked on the original game like Nomura, Kitase and Nojima, and that it's his job to take what they give him and deliver the "best gaming experience". It's not yet been confirmed who is leading Rebirth, but if it does end up being Hamaguchi again, then it seems like it's in very good hands.

Final Fantasy Boss Explains Why He Stayed At Square Enix After Key Departure
In the video game industry, many people stick around with the company they’re attached to for quite a while for multiple reasons. They might just like the company they work at. Or, they might be trying to gain “higher ranks” there. Another reason might be they know that their talents or ideas might be more appreciated at that particular company because they’ve worked there for so long. But, on the other side of things, people sometimes depart gaming companies somewhat randomly, including because they want to “move on to a new challenge,” which is what the creator of Final Fantasy did after a while at Square before it became Square Enix.
