Square Enix has reached a significant development milestone, officially finalizing the subtitle for the third and final entry in the acclaimed Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy.
The news, confirmed in a recent GameSpot interview with director Naoki Hamaguchi, follows months of anticipation from fans eager for the next chapter in this celebrated series. The Final Fantasy VII Remake project, a bold reimagining of the iconic 1997 RPG, began its journey with the original remake in 2020, followed by the upcoming release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, scheduled to launch on platforms including the Nintendo Switch's successor and Xbox Series X|S.
The trilogy, guided by Square Enix's industry veterans, has been praised for its ambitious storytelling, graphical upgrades, and expanded narrative scope. Director Naoki Hamaguchi provided insight into the naming process during his discussion with GameSpot.
According to Hamaguchi, the team narrowed potential subtitles for the third installment down to two options by the time Paris Games Week concluded in October 2025.
The ultimate decision was entrusted to creative director Tetsuya Nomura, who has served as a pivotal figure in the project's direction, alongside Hamaguchi and Motomu Toriyama.
“The final choice was left to Mr.
Nomura," Hamaguchi explained.
"After returning from Paris Games Week, he made the selection, so I can confirm the subtitle has now been set.” While speculation continues to swirl around what subtitle Square Enix has selected, fans immediately began guessing possible names.
Terms like 'Reunion' have been suggested, though they have already seen use in titles such as Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- Reunion and Life is Strange: Reunion.
For now, Square Enix is keeping the official subtitle under wraps, coordinating its reveal with the release cadence of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and the evolving strategy across platforms like Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S. The Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy continues to be a flagship project for Square Enix, reinforcing the publisher’s commitment to revitalizing classic properties with modern gameplay and narrative innovation.
As the series nears its conclusion, anticipation for the trilogy’s final entry remains at an all-time high, with fans and industry professionals alike looking forward to more details in forthcoming Nintendo Direct presentations or future Square Enix announcements. For now, as the subtitle for the climactic third installment is now confirmed behind the scenes, the community awaits the moment when Square Enix will make its official unveiling, further shaping the legacy of one of gaming’s most influential RPG franchises.
