Square Enix’s Naoki Hamaguchi has stated during an interview with Ntower that the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 could receive DLC if there’s enough demand from fans, despite Final Fantasy VII Rebirth not receiving any additional content.
When it came to Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, we seriously considered the possibility of developing a story DLC right up until immediately before the project officially moved into the planning phase. However, within the context of a long-term trilogy, we concluded that running development of the second installment’s DLC in parallel with the third installment would inevitably affect the third game’s schedule and overall quality.
At that point, I believed my primary role was not to add DLC, but to deliver the third entry to fans as quickly as possible at a level of polish they would find satisfying. For that reason, we decided to forgo story DLC for Rebirth. As for DLC beyond the third installment, I believe that will ultimately depend on how strongly fans continue to support Final Fantasy 7 as both a title and a franchise. If there is significant demand, we’d certainly be open to exploring those possibilities proactively.
Hamaguchi-san previously revealed during an interview with Nintendo Life that he has already completed over 40 full playthroughs of the concluding chapter in the FFVII Remake trilogy, and confirmed in a separate interview that development of the project is “proceeding on time and on schedule.”
