They are switching to UE5. I remember reading this a bit back. I hope they had initial team working on it once Rebirth finished and had full team on the game once DLCs were done.
But with engine upgrade I think it’s going to be late 2027 at best.
Also, where the F is the PC version of Rebirth and I really hope SE pulls their head out of their rear and releases 3rd game Day 1 on Steam.
E: ah nvm skipped past the other post

It has to be his ultimate form. No more phases. Just him at his prime. I’ve been thinking about how that will turn out since part 1.I hope it is as insane as possible.
...more insane than FF16's highest moments.

They have to somehow make his ultimate form more intimidating. He always felt way more intimidating in his base form compared to it, regardless of player level it just looked goofy and the game just sort of handed you a win at that point.
I need to feel the same fear I felt in FFX when fighting Seymour in the snowy mountains when he combined with his summon. That fight was grueling.

I wonder how they will handle, Knights of the round.

The fact they started talking publicly about how they are heavily considering using it, plus multiple statements confirming a fully functional, free flying airship, I kinda took that as indirect confirmation they are totally gonna do it.
Like I'd be shocked if they don't

Surely ingrained in the story somehow. Perhaps as a means to fight against the Weapons.

Especially since they confirmed it to be once more a PS timed exclusive. Hopefully their last. Day 1 on PC, for fuck's sake.

I actually think it's going to be UE4. Clearly the game is going to sell less than Rebirth did and sticking with UE4 means they can finish the game quicker. Plus it'd be easier to make it work on Switch 2, which I imagine is a priority even if it ends up being a PS5 timed exclusive.
The Highwind can just work like the Tiny Bronco did, except in air compared to on the water.

It will all depend on the benefits and retooling costs. I’ll say that I would be perfectly happy if they remained on UE4 with no graphical upgrade compared to Intergrade and Rebirth. I don’t need huge improvements, though if it looked and performed more like Rebirth on the Pro, that would be nice.

Ehh you might be right, we'll see. That was just my interpretation of that statement.

I am obliged to play it, since I beat the previous 2. But really the original is better. It has more charm, better pacing and you could actually hunt for Enemy skills, chocobos and breed them etc. The remakes are fanfic versions almost, and nearly every new character or story addition sucks. The game gained a lot of things, but also lost a lot of things. You can't really go out and hunt for certain drops, morphs or equipments. And each game gimps you back to level 1. I just think cutting it in 3 parts was wrong and the sales probably agree with me.
Honestly after DQIII and Star Ocean 2 I would give up this bloated trilogy for a HD-2D version of FFVII. Who's with me?

They may be eager to switch to UE5 purely to get this team and other studios at S-E up to scratch with the engine that will probably most 80% of their games going into next-gen.
Next gen give me single game FFX Remake on UE5 on PS6 and if that's my last game ever I'll retire from games a very happy man.

To complete the Choboco Breeding sidequest in the OG you need the Highwind. That alone made it an easy call to keep it for Part 3, if they decide to do it.

They talked publicly cause the question is brought up alot and have already customised the engine a ton id say the odds are 50/50 at best, far from confirmed.

We just got XVI.How bout that Steam release for Rebirth SE?
Rebirth ain't hitting Steam/EGS for at least five more months.

I’m excited about it since I really enjoyed both Remake and Rebirth.
But the most exciting part is…..
When SE release next 3rd of FFVII, Vanillaware will also release new game. 13 Sentinels released same year as Remake and Unicorn Overlord also same year as Rebirth…..coincidence?

Im guessing the team has already been working on some of the story and world already

I just wonder if after the third part has been released, they are willing to port the first 2 parts to the same engine and release it as a single game, where they cut the 3 parts into a single massive game..

Isn't anybody else a little concerned that a remake of a 25~ year old game and the third part of a remake trilogy was this far along without being plot complete? It seems they're just making it up as they go, despite having the best source material you could ask for. Did they not consider the entire story at the time of creating the first part of Remake? I always pictured one of those big posterboards in a conference room somewhere with post-its and pictures tacked on it with the connecting threads.
It sounds crazy to me.

Why is it clear that it'll sell less than Rebirth?
asdasdasdbb

I imagine it's like Rebirth. While it likely follows the same story beats more or less, they still have to create the scenarios, new dialogue, etc.
They are more or less making it up as they go, yes.

Scenarios, dialogue, encounters sure. But what they specifically said was "plot". That's the part I'm having a hard time getting my head around. I know time ghosts shenanigans and there have been some significant changes, but still, to not have a completed vision of the entire story - until now - is wild for such a big ambitious project.

The amount of people who will play Part 3 without having played through Parts 1 and 2 is... not much.
About 40% of people who bought Rebirth completed the main scenario... that is a decent % for a game of it's length I think but it's still only 40%. There's going to be people who drop out.

Not really. They've been following the outline of OG fairly closely while adding in elements of plot that kind of recontextualize the events and make it seem different. The plot ghosts are a bit of a whiff in execution in the first part of Remake but they can still pull it off I think.
Pejo
Gold Member
I agree that they can probably pull it off, but to wait until this long after part 2's been out already to finalize the plot of part 3, I dunno. Seems VERY late by gamedev standards. Maybe they're trying to be reactionary with the story after they see how the audience handled part 2, since part 1 was very divisive. Who knows if that will pay off for them (or us), though.

Looking forward to how it all ends and connects back to Advent Children! Hopefully we get to play a bit more as Zack this time around.

True... can't deny that. In your opinion do you think people have dismissed this remake project from the get-go because there were too many liberties taken with the story compared to the original, the combat isn't turn-based, the game is split into 3 parts or something else?
asdasdasdbb
Member
People have complained about the story of Part 1 ending at Midgar ever since it was announced.
I wouldn't be surprised if Square offers some sort of Part 3 preorder bundle including the first two parts... but given that the first two are 30+ hour games, that's a lot of FF7 if you were to play them back to back to back.

A story they make up as they go along and shitty filler content. Awful.

Was praying rebirth would do better on the stupid ghosts and sephiroth rewrites and plot changes but they doubled down and did the same overdone ending that actually lessens sephiroth's impact just cause they wanted to do another lame protracted multi part boss fight.
I'll play the 3rd one for the gameplay and beauty of it but I have 0 faith they won't butcher this ending

FFVII Rebirth is part 2 of the FFVII Remake, you absolutely need to play FFVII Remake first for it to make a bit of sense. FFVII Remake already didn't sell gangbusters, and quite a bit of players peaced out or lost interest after this one. And rightfully so, its a bloated mess that makes no sense to newcomers and pissed off a lot of FFVII fans.
FFVII Rebirth was met with critical acclaim, yet its sales are mediocre. I don't see how the 3rd part is suddenly going to sell great.
In my opinion this remake was simply too late. Fans clamored for it when the PS3 was shown, and FF was still in a very good place back then. Times have changed and since XIII the franchise has been very hit and miss, with more misses than hits.

I would go for that too if not for the Crisis Core Remaster already taking that.
