Yoshinori Kitase Says Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 Won’t ‘Betray The Fans Of The Original Game’

Speaking during an interview with Anime News Network, Yoshinori Kitase, the director behind Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy Rebirth, has assured fans that the story in the final chapter of the remake trilogy won’t betray fans of the original 1997 epic.

Kitase-san noted however that there will be some new elements brought to the table as it’s been 27 years since Final Fantasy VII came out, so the opportunity is there to “bring a new happiness,” as he puts it.

We do hear a lot of players’ different conjectures, saying, ‘Oh, how much will this story change from the original?’ And I do want to comment that I don’t think that’s how it will be. We’ve always kept the original in mind, and I don’t think it’s going to be a storyline that will betray the fans of the original [game].

But also, at the same time, [it’s] been 27 years since the release of the original Final Fantasy 7. There are these things that we feel we can only do now in the remake project that can bring a new happiness, a new sort of feeling of satisfaction to the players playing this game now 27 years later. What this will entail exactly is something we hope players will experience soon.

Last month, both Kitase-san and Naoki Hamaguchi attended the Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Summoning A Masterpiece live presentation, and expressed confidence that Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 will be ‘one of the most loved, most popular games in the whole history of video games once again.’

Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is targeting a 2027 release on PS5.
