Hamaguchi, the game director, recently provided an update on the highly anticipated sequel, urging fans to exercise patience as new information will be revealed at a later date. The team is diligently working on the project.
2024 proved a triumphant year for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second part of the trilogy. Its critical acclaim and global player engagement were significant achievements. The developers now aim to broaden the game's appeal and introduce fresh challenges in the upcoming third installment.
Hamaguchi also shared his admiration for Grand Theft Auto VI and expressed empathy for the Rockstar Games team, acknowledging the immense pressure they face following GTA V's phenomenal success.
Specific details about the third game remain undisclosed. However, Hamaguchi assures fans that development is progressing smoothly. While the team is currently focused on the recently released Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, players can anticipate a unique experience in the next game.
Despite the positive outlook on the upcoming sequel, it's worth noting that Final Fantasy XVI's May 2024 launch sales underperformed, falling short of initial projections. While precise figures remain unannounced, Square Enix clarified that neither Final Fantasy XVI nor Final Fantasy VII Rebirth are considered complete failures, and both titles still have potential to meet their long-term sales goals within their projected timeframe.
