The acclaimed open world action RPG is "underperforming" where its sales are concerned, according to industry analyst Daniel Ahmad.
Tetsuya Nomura also extends a "gentleman's agreement" to composer Nobuo Uematsu to return for the conclusion of the trilogy.
Director Naoki Hamaguchi wants to "address the same for what is likely expected from our experience with the Highwind to explore the world."
Digital sales data for Square Enix's second part in the Remake trilogy will arrive later this week and could provide a significant bump.
Square Enix's Naoki Yamaguchi hopes the team can "continue to touch on" Compilation content, but "nothing is set in stone."
Ahead of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's release, its 2020 predecessor has received a headscratcher of a patch.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth looks great ahead of its February 29th launch, but we hope it avoids repeating some of its predecessor's mistakes.
Director Naoki Hamaguchi says the trilogy's final instalment's development is at about the stage that Rebirth was at when the first game launched.
The next part in the Remake saga is a ludicrously massive step up over the first. Here are some of the major differences.
"We would probably need to prepare a lot of things, so I can’t imagine that to be a task we have the resources to take on at the moment," says Yoshinori Kitase, who co-directed the original game.
The action RPG launched for PS4 nearly four years ago, but an Xbox release has remained elusive until now.
"The overall storyline, the developments, will not go wildly out in a way that will not add up to Advent Children in the end," says Yoshinori Kitase.
The new Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth video can also be watched through the game's main menu to offer up a quick refresher on the previous game's events.
A prominent insider has claimed that though a Switch 2/Xbox port of the remake isn't an impossibility, it's not currently part of the plan.
Tetsuya Nomura assures that by the time the entire trilogy is wrapped up, it will "link up" with the animated movie.
The 2020 action RPG has exceeded 7 million in worldwide shipments and digital sales across all platforms, Square Enix has announced.
It addressed the disparity in sales compared to previous titles like Final Fantasy 7 Remake and noted the high attach rate on PS5.
Square Enix has released another brief developer quote for the upcoming sequel, this time from music supervisor Keiji Kawamori.
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth co-director Motomu Toriyama says the development team has "made preparations" to ensure that the sequel can be enjoyed by those who didn't played the first game.

These remakes made going back to these classics a better experience than any of us could have imagined.
