If you've finished Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, then you'll know how weird and wonderful the story gets with its multiverse shenanigans. You need a lot of free time and red string to actually follow the events of the latter half of the title, which was delibreately left open to interpretation to get fans theorizing about what exactly could go down in Part 3, whenever it releases.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth could have rolled credits much sooner in the story if the game's writer stuck to his original idea.

A major question about the ending scene in finally has an answer, thanks to the writer and the co-director of the game. The remake of the beloved has a significant number of changes, with some being minor, like filler stories, and others being completely new character experiences and arcs. The remakes have brought new fans to the franchise and introduced even more people to the world, but some longtime players are finding themselves with a lot of questions about the changes.

Square Enix recently published a 42 minute Final Fantasy VII Rebirth “Special Talk Session” on its Square Enix Music YouTube channel. The video features series composer Nobuo Uematsu, writer Kazushige Nojima, and creative director Tetsuya Nomura.

Legendary composer Nobuo Uematsu will compose the central theme for the as-yet-unnamed third game in Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, tentatively committing to the job after being put on the spot by Rebirth director Tetsuya Nomura.

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.

Square Enix has officially begun development on the third and final part of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy.

The director of Final Fantasy 7 Remake says Part 3 is "off to the races already," but that he's ready to be "done" with this "absolute marathon of projects."

In a new interview posted to the Square Enix Music Channel on YouTube, longtime Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu assured fans he’d be returning to compose the theme song for the final entry to the Final Fantasy VII 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.

It’s been over a month since Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s launch, but the massive open world action RPG continues to occupy a sizeable portion of our headspace even now, thanks in no small part to how ambitious the game turned out to be, and how effectively Square Enix managed to make good on its vision in what was a relatively short development cycle. To shed some light on that process, the company has released a four-part behind-the-scenes series that details the development of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.

Square Enix has released a four-party documentary series for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth titled “Inside Final Fantasy VII Rebirth,” which uncovers the stories behind the making of the RPG through the eyes of the development team.

Final Fantasy 7 writer Kazushige Nojima says he "regretted" how Aerith and Tifa's relationship was handled in the original JRPG, and therefore saw Remake and now Rebirth as opportunities to make good on the friendship he envisioned all those years ago.

Publisher NIS America has confirmed a western release for action-RPG Reynatis, which was revealed during the Japanese version of last week's Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase.

Fans of Japanese action-RPGs, I bring two pieces of good news: Reynatis, the game a team of Final Fantasy veterans showed off during last week's Nintendo Partner Direct, isn't Japan- or Switch-exclusive, and it's been confirmed for a worldwide launch later this year.

Square Enix’s developers are setting expectations on the status of part 3 of the Final Fantasy VII remake.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the second instalment in Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, is out in a matter of days, and excitement surrounding its release is sky high. Given the very nature of the series and the rabid fandom the Final Fantasy 7 in particular generally goes hand-in-hand with, it’s no surprise, that there are many who also already have their eye on the trilogy’s third and final instalment as well. That, incidentally, includes Square Enix as well.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth - the second part in the trilogy remaking the 1997 classic - is just around the corner, but the inevitable third and final entry is also chugging along at a steady pace.

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.

Just as Final Fantasy VII Remake featured a predetermined endpoint – the escape from Midgar – Final Fantasy VII Rebirth players also know when their adventure will culminate in this game. The Forgotten Capital, the location that plays host to one of the most impactful moments in any video game, is the destination for the story contained within Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.

Final Fantasy VII Remake gave fans of the original game quite a shock as Cloud and the party exited Midgar. Zack, the protagonist of Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII and a key figure in Cloud, Aerith, and Sephiroth's past, appears to be alive, and helped an injured Cloud reach Midgar. This stands in stark contrast to his fate in the original continuity, where he was killed and his Buster Sword was handed over to Cloud. 

When Final Fantasy VII launched on PlayStation in 1997, it revolutionized the RPG genre and gaming as a whole. The transition from pixel art to fully animated computer graphics was a massive enough leap ahead, but the beauty of this classic title was much more than skin deep. Final Fantasy VII features an incredible cast of characters, an outstanding battle system, and a story that evokes joy, awe, anger, and grief. Final Fantasy VII is well-established as one of the most iconic and beloved video games of all time, but for Square Enix, the legacy is somewhat more important. 

Final Fantasy 7's original developers have admitted the original game's production was so chaotic that they knew things had to change going forward for future games in the series.
