Whoever decided to let this damn cat throw boxes needs to be thrown into the stream of life.

“The level of excitement, anticipation and intrigue towards the third part of the series has been built up properly,” says Kitase. “So yeah, I'm relieved. And it's really a weight off my shoulders to know we didn't screw it up.”



What We Know About Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 So Far

Various leads and producers of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake franchise have been surprisingly open about the third installment, giving us some details about the game. For starters, we know that it should be faithful to the original game's ending, despite differences in the first two parts. The plot is already written too.

We also know that the Highwind airship will play a big role in the game. More specifically, we will be able to “fly freely around the map”, which should make crossing much easier.

There's no word on a release window yet, but that's hardly surprising since Rebirth only launched this year. If we expect a similar wait time between games as we had last time, then there are still a few good years left.
