Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 2 trailer confirms a trilogy

According to a statement attributed to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth creative director Tetsuya Nomura, the sequel is being designed so that people can enjoy it “whether they know the original game or not.”

He said: “In fact, new players might even enjoy starting their Final Fantasy VII journey with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Cloud and his friends embark on a new journey in this game, and I believe that the scenes that they witness after leaving Midgar will give players a fresh, new experience.

“I can’t wait to share the intention behind naming the first title, “REMAKE,” and the second title, “REBIRTH.” In time, I hope to reveal what the third title will be called, and where this journey will ultimately lead.”

Nomura also revealed that “some development” has already begun on the third title in the Remake series, and that the team has been “progressing rapidly since we adopted a new development structure.”

Naoki Hamaguchi, the director of the second game, said that his team is “developing [Rebirth] with all the passion and dedication needed to create an original game.”

The final message, this time from Yoshinori Kitase, the producer of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, claimed that the game was “proceeding at an astonishingly fast pace for such a large-scale HD title.”

He added: “Making the middle part of a trilogy has its own challenges, but there are plenty of classic second instalments in the world of film that are defined by stunning story twists and deeper explorations of their characters. Often these second instalments become a favourite amongst the fans.”
