Summary
Final Fantasy 7 RemakePart 3 is currently in development, with plans to no doubt follow up on the success and story ofFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth. At the moment, very little is known about its narrative and gameplay, apart from what is expected on account of the originalFinal Fantasy 7and thelibertiesFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirthtook in its storyand gameplay. Furthermore, based on the originalFinal Fantasy 7’s side content, players can also expect a lot fromFinal Fantasy 7 RemakePart 3’s optional content.
Final Fantasy 7 RemakePart 3’s side content is poised to be some of the trilogy’s most important, as things are already set up for one of the original game’s most beloved characters to finally be added to the playable roster, and some ofFinal Fantasy 7’s toughest fights are expected to make an appearance as well. Specifically, ifFinal Fantasy 7 RemakePart 3 does see Vincent Valentine added as a permanent playable party member and the originalFinal Fantasy 7’s Weapon battles make a return, fans could be in for a massive treat when it comes to the third entry’s side content.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s Side Content May Be the Trilogy’s Most Important
FF7 Remake Part 3 Will Likely Expand Vincent Valentine’s Narrative
While party members like Cloud and Tifa are expected to return inFinal Fantasy 7 RemakePart 3, there’s a high chance that Vincent Valentine will be making his debut in the trilogy as a playable character as well. While he was an optional playable character in the originalFinal Fantasy 7, theFinal Fantasy 7 Remaketrilogyseems to be setting him up to be integrated into the main narrative rather than having a side story for players to complete in order to unlock him. As such, it would only be natural forFinal Fantasy 7 RemakePart 3 to expand on Vincent’s narrative, just as the trilogy has for every other major character.
Vincent Valentinehas an exceedingly rich backstory, so it’s great that it will likely be seamlessly integrated intoFinal Fantasy 7 RemakePart 3’s main story. His narrative involves themes of love, betrayal, and redemption, particularly concerning his relationship with Lucrecia Crescent and his transformation due to experiments by Professor Hojo, soFinal Fantasy 7 RemakePart 3 would be remiss not to explore that fully, perhaps even more so than the original game did. Approaching his character this way would offer a few benefits:
FF7 Remake Part 3 May See Players Fighting Weapons
The originalFinal Fantasy 7introduced players to powerful entities known as Weapons, which were essentially massive biomechanical guardians created by the Planet. Some of the most notableWeapons inFinal Fantasy 7were Ruby, Emerald, Ultimate, Sapphire, and Diamond, each of which presented players with unique combat challenges that required an immense amount of strategy to overcome. Adding these battles toFinal Fantasy 7 RemakePart 3 as some of its side content would come with several advantages:
FF7 Remake Part 3’s Side Content Needs to Strike the Balance That Rebirth Missed
Apart from what is expected to show up as sidecontent inFinal Fantasy 7 RemakePart 3, the third and final entry will need to do its best to ensure that its side content maintains balance with its main story.Final Fantasy 7 Rebirthmissed the mark here, as the sheer number of mini-games and side activities was a bit overwhelming at times. As such, whatever side contentFinal Fantasy 7 RemakePart 3 adds, so long as that side content doesn’t outweigh the main narrative, it should generally be received better thanFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth’s was.
