Final Fantasy 7 Part 3 is coming and the devs at Square Enix want to close out the trilogy in success. That’s why this scene will be there.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was just released on PC the other day and despite being immediately hit by pirates, it’s been a huge success. And with this, the community’s attention now goes to Part 3 of this Remake saga. Square Enix has done an amazing job so far and it seems like the studio is keeping up the good work.

Game director Naoki Hamaguchi recently confirmed in an interview that Part 3 of the series will have the iconic mini-game slap-fight between Tifa Lockhart and Scarlet. Considering the flair that the developers have put into other iconic scenes, we have no doubt that this will deliver as well.

In the original Final Fantasy 7 released in 1997, Tifa and Scarlet had a face-off on top of the Junon cannon. In an absurd and hilarious scene, the two had a now iconic slap fight which has been on our minds ever since. When we first got the announcement that FF7 was going to be remade, it was one of the first scenes that fans demanded to make it to these new-gen updates.

Despite how iconic it is, there was no guarantee that it’d make it to the remake. But now we have confirmation of the good news. It would seem that the excitement of players has removed any shadow of doubt from the developers. “Many have asked to leave it in the game (laughs). In response, I’d like to say we’ll make something really great, so please look forward to it!” Hamaguchi said with a laugh during an interview with Denfamicogamer.

This just goes to show how committed Hamaguchi and the team of developers are to bringing nostalgia forward alongside all the modernized upgrades. Because we know that these remakes haven’t been a nostalgic cash grab, there are a lot of new additions that have found favor among fans, but some have also been missed. From Rebirth’s open-world expansion to the added depth that a lot of characters have gotten, the remakes have definitely taken risks.

Square Enix is really giving its all for the finale of this fantastic Remake Trilogy. The creative team is led by producer Yoshinori Kitase and creative director Tetsuya Nomura and they have reiterated their commitment to respecting the original game. While the third installment does not yet have an official title or release date we do know some details.

Producer Yoshinori Kitase recently spoke to Famitsu in an interview translated by Eurogamer where the producer confirmed that the story for the final game is completed and that he is “very satisfied with it.” But beyond just the content, the upcoming title will also be the first Square Enix game to be an example of the studio’s changed view on exclusivity.

While previous entries in the remake series launched exclusively on PlayStation consoles before eventually arriving on PC, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 is expected to be released on multiple platforms at launch. Square Enix is moving to a new business strategy where it focuses on delivering the gaming experience to as many players as possible. And it is a welcome change.
