Square Enix has long been saddled with a reputation for taking far too long to develop its games — especially when those games are called Final Fantasy — but it does feel like the company's turned a bit of a corner over the last console generation or so. And while the third game in the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is probably still at least two or three years off, it's felt like the development of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth has gone rather smoothly.
According to director Naoki Hamaguchi, that's down to the fact that between 80 and 90 per cent of Remake's team have stuck around for the sequel, which has led to a real sense of togetherness throughout the studio. "We were able to work together as a team, achieve this great flow and tempo of game development," Hamaguchi told Bloomberg.
Of course, it'll also help that most of Rebirth's core systems were put in place by its predecessor; this certainly isn't a case of starting over from scratch. Having said that, we wouldn't want to undermine the clear effort that's being poured into Rebirth. Everything we've seen of the game so far suggests a labour of love, with an impressive eye for detail.
How are your hype levels for Rebirth? Do you think it's destined to transcend Remake? Clean off that Buster Sword in the comments section below.

Well... can't get a better game on the resume.
Also, just goes to show the love everyone has for FF7.
Really nice to see Final Fantasy actually get a smooth development process, from FF16 to hopefully Rebirth. Lets hope it keeps it up.
I never would have thought that keeping a team together would result into a easier development cycle. 🤣
I kinda feel like an outsider having only played 7 Remake and 16. That said this is absolutely a day one purchase. I still want to try and play Crisis Core first.
There have been some amazing games released this year but nothing makes me more sweaty and excited in my underwear region than the prospect of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Kupo
@Splat I'm in the same boat with you. Right now I have only played through 15, 7R, 16, and now in the middle of the 14MMO.
Can't wait to play this game on Playstation Portal!
@Nepp67 ffx is a good one to try out
What a wholesome article
