- Final Fantasy 7 director has confirmed plans to expand the Remake series further.
- He says they are exploring possibilities of a 4th game or a DLC as fans would want it.
- Originally, it was supposed to be released as a trilogy, with part 3 being the conclusion.
The Final Fantasy 7 games have been in development for quite some time. The first remake was released back in 2020, and now we’re gearing up for Part 3. However, for the fans of the franchise, there is some great news.
The game director has confirmed that Final Fantasy 7 won’t end with the third instalment, rather they are open to continuing the series with the 4th game or a DLC in the future. So, they want to expand the story further.
Why it matters: Part 3 was deemed the conclusion of Final Fantasy 7 Remakes; however, it seems that Square Enix wants a lot more for the franchise and has already decided more for the future.
Talking to Wccftech, Naoki Hamaguchi talked about the future of the series. He was asked if there were any plans to connect with the Rebirth series using a DLC, which he denied, but revealed plans for something else.
Once we release the third installment, there is the possibility of having a DLC for that third installment (or a full title).

He said they do want to expand the Final Fantasy 7 games further, but whether it will be an expansion or a full title is yet to be decided, as they’ll decide it after the release of Part 3. So, there is still plenty of time.
Hamaguchi stated that he still considers Part 3 the conclusion of the series; however, after that, there will be a wider audience for the series, and they will want more. Therefore, they want to cater to them.
Currently, we can’t really guess what the future project will be about, considering the upcoming part will conclude most character arcs. There are always some loose ends that need to be tied up, so let’s wait and see.
