Final Fantasy 7 Remake devs say other FF remakes would likely need more than three parts

The team behind Final Fantasy 7 Remake has suggested that remaking other entries in the Final Fantasy series would probably require more than a trilogy to do them justice. The comments come as the FF7 Remake project itself is wrapping up with its third and final installment.

The developers didn't name specific titles, but the implication is clear — the scale and ambition that went into expanding FF7 across three full games would apply to other beloved entries in the franchise as well. If Square Enix ever turned its attention to, say, Final Fantasy 6 or Final Fantasy 9, players should expect a similarly sprawling multi-part commitment rather than a single release.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake launched in 2020, followed by Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in 2024, with the third and concluding part still in development. The project took the original 1997 PS1 classic and expanded it dramatically — adding new story content, reworking the combat into a real-time action system, and splitting what was one game into a multi-year, multi-title saga. Square Enix has built a reputation for ambitious remakes and remasters across its catalog, but the FF7 project stands as its most expansive reconstruction of a legacy title to date.

The comments will fuel ongoing fan speculation about which Final Fantasy game Square Enix might tackle next — and serve as a heads-up that anyone hoping for a compact, single-game remake of a classic entry should probably adjust their expectations now.
