Square Enix revealed that the plot for Final Fantasy Remake Part 3 is already complete and that the game is ready to enter full production.
Director Naoki Hamaguchi and producer Yoshinori Kitase shared the news with the public during a recent event in South Korea.
The development of the game at this stage is not surprising as there is not as much effort needed in the pre-production period of the third installment.

The duo also teased that the development team was working hard. This was so that the third game in the trilogy can give players the option to freely fly around its world. It is currently unclear what this could actually mean in the game.
Another thing that is worth noting is that all of the new information about the game was received through translation. This means that there is a chance that some meaning via context could have been lost in the process, according to Comic Book.
Fans are speculating when the third installment in the trilogy will be released. There was a four-year gap between Final Fantasy VII and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Following the same pattern means that the upcoming game may not arrive until 2028.
What makes this even more noteworthy is that various leaks claim that Sony's PlayStation 6 console could be coming out sometime in 2028. This could mean that Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 could be a cross-gen release.
Kitase also noted during the event that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth featured a massive in-game map.
He added that the Highwind airship is set to make an appearance in the third game, which lets players experience its world from a higher point of view, the Video Games Chronicle said.
Flying Freely in the Highwind
He added that they are not planning to "cheat" with the airship system but instead face it head-on to give players more freedom. Hamaguchi noted that he was confident that the third game in the trilogy would be one of the greatest video games in history.
The cheat the system comment from Hamaguchi seemingly suggests that Square Enix considered not allowing players to use the Highwind airship to fly around. This is something that fans may be relieved to hear has been scrapped altogether, according to The Gamer.
Many players loved the second entry of the trilogy as it was considered an excellent RPG that featured some of the best characters in the industry. The time that players spent with the characters was fun and contributed to the hundreds of hours of gameplay.
