Hamaguchi, the game director, assures fans that development on the sequel is progressing well, but urges patience for further updates. He highlights the success of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth in 2024, noting its award wins and global appeal. The team aims to broaden the FFVII fanbase with the unique challenges planned for the third game.
Hamaguchi also mentions being impressed by Grand Theft Auto VI, expressing empathy for Rockstar Games' team facing the pressure of GTA V's immense success.
Specific details about the third game remain scarce, though Hamaguchi confirms smooth development. This is noteworthy given the recent release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. He promises a unique experience for players.
However, the director acknowledges that Final Fantasy XVI's May 2024 launch underperformed, failing to meet initial sales projections. While specific sales figures remain undisclosed for both XVI and Rebirth, Square Enix maintains that Rebirth's sales aren't considered a complete failure, and that XVI still has potential to reach its targets within its projected 18-month timeframe.
