Square Enix director Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed that the creative direction for the Final Fantasy VII Remake Trilogy existed from the very beginning of production. The development team established a clear vision for how the story would conclude long before they started building the final installment.
Director Naoki Hamaguchi confirms the trilogy's conclusion was envisioned from early development stages.
Yoshinori Kitase, who directed the original 1997 role-playing game, helped shape this concluding vision alongside Hamaguchi during early planning stages. The studio treated the remake project as a complete narrative arc rather than an open-ended series that requires constant course correction based on player reaction.
Hamaguchi stated he will not change the ending simply to appease critics who might dislike the final outcome. He believes maintaining creative integrity matters more than adapting the story to match negative feedback from players during earlier releases.
The director expressed strong confidence in how the trilogy finale has developed so far. He noted that the team feels proud of their work and looks forward to seeing how fans respond when the game finally launches.
