Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Developers Speak About Part 3... And IT'S MASSIVE

[@Dan3043]

If the third part is as good as Rebirth was, the trilogy will be my favourite RPG experience ever. The way they fleshed out the 'optional' characters and expanded the lore was insane.

[@hencytjoe]

I see no lies here

[@Norightnowrong1]

Same

[@NeutralGloomBot]

I'm with you on this. I mean it all depends on how they stick the landing here, but so far the FFVII trilogy is on pace to be even better than the original by a good margin. I find it hard to go back now because the OG game feels so barren and empty of story and world building. It will still always be one of the best games of all time, but its being surpassed by its own recreation and that rarely ever happens.

[@samuel.jpg.1080p]

Hard agree, hope part 3's development is going smoothly

[@carlfjnon]

Agreed

[@dream431ca]

2027 is the 30th anniversary of the OG FF7. No better time to release part 3 IMO. The real icing on the cake is if part 3 releases on Jan 31 2027, that would be exactly 30 years from the release of the OG on Jan 31 1997.

[@jackstadler7065]

I agree! This would be perfect. Hopefully, part 3 releases on the PS5, I honestly don't see any reason why the PS5 couldn't handle it, and I'd hate to buy a new system for each game in the trilogy.

​@@MarcusSanchez2525 really? I think they will play it out quite similar. Yuffie may hear of the war breaking out, panic, steal all the materia and head for home which is why the party has to go to wutai . Or they could already be on the continent when she feels the need to steal the materia. You could be right though, they seemed to make changes to cait sith, probably to avoid newcomers hating him like most OG fans do, so maybe they will do the same for yuffie. As lots of people still seem to not have forgiven her from the OG game

[@Alexriga]

I afraid they don't. Rebirth sales are weak. I bought Deluxe + normal version just to support the project but there are still so many idiots claiming that it is a cash grab and 1 game split in 3 games. In fact Rebirth has more content than original. 103 hours Chapter 12 feeling amazing about the game. OG had 40-90 depending how you play. I just hope they can keep doing the same and add all regions and islands OG had + I'd liek to see first sex scene in FF history in Witcher 3 style but that is not that important. Gameplay is so near perfection so adding more shit could spoil it so I'd prefer most mechanics to be unchanged.

[@samd2865]

When I finished Rebirth, I didn't mess around. I played it as god intended and finished the story when i reached 100 hours. Making sure all quests and region options were completed. If people played it right, everything flowed beautifully and perfectly. Been playing RPGs since the 80s. Probably the best well designed RPG in the last decade.

[@jonallbright8868]

Same. It was hard but I did a slow burn over a couple weeks. Its such an amazing game. I hope they do a PC release to help w sales and I hope its multiplat for pt3 and maybe they do a special edition w all three down the line (and maybe CC:Reunion).

[@kurisu7885]

It kind of makes sense to me now that Cid's back story and Rocket Town might be held off for the third part, because during those parts of the game Cid did get put into a leadership role while Cloud and Tifa were in Mideel, and them revealing Cid's past as the head of an astronaut program could be a good explanation as to how he got the skills of a leader. Not to mention that same rocket, Shinra No. 26, was shown as a model in Crisis Core Reunion. As for the Highwind, yeah I wanted to see more of the Tiny Bronco interior ,but I really hope the Highwind ends up being as much of a mobile base as it was in the original, I love having an airship with an interior to poke around in.

[@paleriderpalehorse55]

The Highwind will be FF7 version of Mass effects Normandy, I'm calling it now.

[@Haegemon]

I doubt the Buggy and Tiny Bronco can make it to the 3th game. Steal the Highwing probably will be one of the first things to do in the third game. There is a whole game that needs to be done for a team at level 1 again.

[@jarvis007]

Another region - Northwood, as a proper region. Includes a fully explorable City Of The Ancients, Sleeping Forest, Bone Village, and the ruins of the Temple Of The Ancients. I also think that the northern crater should be it's own region, separate from the icicle region. And maybe Midgar itself could be it's own region. So, we have - Midgar, Grasslands, Junon, Corel, Gongaga, Cosmo Canyon, Nibel, Northwood, Rocket Town, Wutai, Glacier, Crater, and Mideel. 13 regions. Plus 3 more in Ocean surface, Underwater, and the sky. Plus Space in a single chapter

[@keybladewar22]

FFVII Rebirth was so much fun & I really enjoyed the combat & the boss fight especially the 1v1 boss fights that came up. I was looking forward to seeing the 1v1 fight with Dyne & Barret just because I wanted to see how they would go about doing that fight with two guys wielding prosthetic arms for guns & they did an amazing job with not just the fight & cut scene but the arena itself. Making a cover spot for the player to duck behind was a great addition compared to the turn base version. One thing that was a missed opportunity was the moment after the Jenova boss fight & the final showdown in general was Aerith scene. What Do I mean? I was hoping to have the scene be more sad but it didn't due to the fact that Sephiroth takes away any moment to grieve over the loss of Aerith so being more alert took over being sad. Not only that but what was a missed opportunity was not seeing Cloud walk Aerith down to the water like in the OG version of the game. I know a lot had to be changed in certain scenarios but this one was sorta skipped over to them already down by the area where he placed her. I think it would have been nice to add a final objective to let the player walk Aerith down to the water slowly to really let the moment sink in especially since the OG version did it in the form of a cut scene. I only say this because I have seen other games do this like God of War for the PSP IIRC where Krato's walks blank to their resting spot & the game let the player walk them to the resting spot. That's why it didn't feel as sad to me whereas the young Aerith scene actually had me crying which I never ever done for any video game. They did that so well & I just think that was a missed opportunity for the ending is all. Other than that still a fun game & it does not take away from the joy I had with this game at all. Maybe in part 3 they might do a what happened previously type of thing or something & let us walk her down to the water while they show the post credit like they did at the start of rebirth. That would be super cool but I don't see that happening but I just wanted to mention that so I could get it out there. Did anyone else have that thought in mind or was it just me? Sorry for the long comment by the way.

I would love it, if after the release of part 3, they would release one MASSIVE compilation of all 3 games compiled into 1 that flows continuously as the original did.

[@funmylife9248]

I think we will get part 3 in 2027, 3 years from now. Here's my reasoning. They managed to create a massive part of the world within 4 years. They have probably a similar amount of world to make for part 3. However, this time it will likely be faster. They also released episode Intermission, and the pandemic struck which slowed down work. With the pandemic over and no DLC planned, I think 3 years is a safe estimate.

Aerith's side really depends on the reality around Cloud's Aerith. Is Cloud living in 2 timelines simultaneously (the sky tear suggests maybe) or is his mind filling in the blank that is Aerith's death because he can't accept it? If it's the former then there's always the chance that Sephiroth completes the reunion of worlds and attempts to crash meteor into that reunited world. In which case Aerith can return. Personally I'm hoping for a happy ending. All the shit that happened post FF7 was super doom and gloom. Even in FF7 it was like "Hooray we stopped the dude but now we're all traumatized".
