Initial Concerns About Rebirth's Reception

The success of FFVII Rebirth, released earlier this year to widespread critical acclaim, was initially met with some apprehension by the development team. Kitase and Hamaguchi openly discussed their initial concerns about player reception, given the game's status as a remake and the second installment in a trilogy. However, the overwhelmingly positive response alleviated those worries and boosted confidence for the final game.

Hamaguchi attributed much of Rebirth's success to his "logic-based approach" to development, incorporating player feedback strategically while maintaining a clear vision for the game's overall direction.

The Rise of PC Gaming

The developers also addressed the growing dominance of PC gaming. Kitase acknowledged the industry shift, citing rising development costs and the need to reach a broader audience as key factors driving the increased focus on PC releases. He emphasized the global reach of the PC market, contrasting it with the regional limitations of console sales.

Hamaguchi highlighted the team's commitment to a faster PC port release for FFVII Rebirth compared to the first game, reflecting the changing landscape of the gaming market.

The positive reception of the first two installments, coupled with the completed storyline for Part 3, sets high expectations for the final chapter of the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy. The possibility of a quicker PC release for Part 3 further enhances the anticipation for a global launch.
