Hopes for FFVII Remake Part 3

[Del Murder]

So it is certainly conceivable that we will get FFVII Remake Part 3 next year.

It will have a difficult challenge. Remake Part 1 was feeding a pent up demand and re-introduced us to that beloved world and its characters. Rebirth then perfected that formula with an open world experience that kept the whimsy of the original but upgraded in many key ways. It also covered the bulk of the key set pieces for the game and ended with the most pivotal and famous moment.

Part 3 does still have Wutai, Rocket Town, and the Northern Continent to cover. And how they tackle the underwater section will be fun to see, as well as the Weapon battles. And we'll also see Cid and Vincent as playable. Some good things to work with but it will be hard to follow Rebirth.

What do you all want to see in Remake 3?

[Loony BoB]

The ability to visit every location in one game.

Some kind of mechanism to use the mechanics of the various chocobos anywhere in the world, allowing us to explore and find ways to reach interesting areas of the map.

A whole lot more time with Tifa.

The bitterness in Cid to come out, because while I do like Cid, I want that tension with him and Shera to be there.

Not a single mention of Genesis, please. That never happened.

Some incredible battle arenas that aren't simply large flat areas of land.

More Zach.

More off-the-beaten-path plot that is still tasteful (the track record is there so I'm all for it).

What I don't want is a miracle "and all the people who passed away returned to life" scenario. It would cheapen the theme of loss that has always been prominent in Final Fantasy VII. But I would like to see some real funeral moments, for all those that do pass on by the end of the game.

Flashbacks of Red with his family. I was really surprised this didn't feature in the trials because every other one of the characters featured a trial based on a theme and there is absolutely a way they could have done the same with Red.

A conclusion to the Gi Tribe.

More of the good minigames, less of the... less-good minigames.
