I might think about that when this port releases on June 3, all consideration will flip to the tip of the trilogy.
In an interview with VGC again in October 2025, Hamaguchi stated that Ultimate Fantasy 7 Remake Half 3 was approaching very properly certainly, so it is extremely encouraging to listen to that is nonetheless the case.

You actually can stay up for that climax of the sequence, and it’ll be precisely what you need it to be. So don’t fear about that. It’s coming, and it’s simply nearly as good as you suppose it’s. I’m very assured within the sport that I’m making there.”
