For fans eagerly anticipating the conclusion of the *Final Fantasy VII* reimagining, there is significant news regarding the final chapter’s identity. The initial installments, *Remake* and *Rebirth*, established a strong thematic naming convention, moving beyond simple sequels to reflect the story’s core concept of changing fate and witnessing a world reborn through the machinations of antagonist Sephiroth. Naturally, the community has speculated heavily on what noun will complete the thematic triad.
We now have confirmation that the development team is one step closer to release, as the title for the third and final game has officially been decided. This news comes courtesy of Director Naoki Hamaguchi, who revealed that Creative Director Tetsuya Nomura made the final selection.
Hamaguchi recalled previous interviews where they had successfully narrowed down potential names to just two contenders. “It was up to Mr. Nomura to decide which it is,” Hamaguchi stated, confirming that Nomura made the choice after returning from a promotional trip. With the title now “locked,” the team has solidified the foundational branding for the long-awaited conclusion. Hamaguchi shared this update while in New York City promoting the critically acclaimed performance of *Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade* on the new Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, adding that development is pushing forward steadily.
