Game director Hamaguchi recently provided an update on the highly anticipated sequel, urging fans to exercise patience as new details will be revealed at a later date. The team is diligently working on the project.
Hamaguchi highlighted the success of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in 2024, noting its numerous accolades and global player reception. The developers aim to broaden the FFVII fanbase with the third game, promising unique gameplay challenges.
Interestingly, Hamaguchi also mentioned Grand Theft Auto VI as a noteworthy title this year, expressing his admiration for Rockstar Games and acknowledging the immense pressure they face following GTA V's phenomenal success.
Specifics regarding the third installment remain undisclosed, though Hamaguchi assures fans that development is progressing smoothly. This is noteworthy given the recent release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. However, he assures players that the upcoming game will offer a distinctive experience.
While Final Fantasy XVI's May 2024 launch sales fell short of projections, Square Enix has refrained from disclosing exact figures. Similarly, sales for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth also underperformed expectations, though the company maintains that neither title is a complete failure. They remain confident that Final Fantasy XVI can still meet its sales goals within the allotted 18-month timeframe.
