Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 could receive DLC after its release, according to director Naoki Hamaguchi. The team seriously considered story DLC for Rebirth but decided against it. Hamaguchi explained: “Within the context of a long-term trilogy, we concluded that developing the second installment’s DLC in parallel with the third would affect the third game’s schedule and quality. My primary role was to deliver the third entry to fans as quickly as possible at a satisfying level of polish.” The door remains open for post-launch content once Part 3 is complete: “DLC beyond the third installment depends on how strongly fans continue to support Final Fantasy 7. If there is significant demand, we’d be open to exploring it.” He has personally played through Part 3 more than 40 times during development.
