Final Fantasy 7 Remake series lead doubts that "the exact same battle system" from the revamped JRPG trilogy will make it into his future games: "We want to keep it surprising"

Naoki Hamaguchi, the director behind Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and its long-awaited sequel – the officially unnamed, so-called "Part 3" – isn't sure his future games will use the remade JRPG trio's battle system, so as to keep things "fresh" for fans.

Speaking in a recent interview with Easy Allies, the Square Enix developer first explains that he isn't sure just what he'll be working on after the hotly anticipated threequel to the Final Fantasy 7 Remake arrives – but he doesn't think he'll incorporate the trilogy's combat into it. "I don't know what kind of project I would be working on after the FF7 Remake project, but at this point in time, I don't think I will use the exact same battle system," he says.
