Don't wait for the expansion pack for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

The director of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth reiterated that there are no plans to release an expansion pack.

According to Gamingbolt , although Square Enix has repeatedly emphasized that the profitability of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth was less than expected, it cannot be denied that it was one of the biggest and most successful launches in 2024. This game, along with Sony's Astro Bot, is one of the frontrunners of The Game Awards ceremony with seven nominations, and has managed to win worldwide critical acclaim.

However , Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi reiterated that there are no plans to release an expansion pack. In a recent interview with the Daily Star, the developer mentioned that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's development team definitely heard the fans' request for the expansion pack; Especially since Final Fantasy 7 Remake will receive the INTERmission add-on content when it launches on PlayStation 5 in 2021.

While Hamaguchi says the production team understands the fans' desire, they are well aware that what fans really want to see from a future Final Fantasy 7 remake isn't an expansion pack, and they actually want to experience the third part of the remake as soon as possible.

The director of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth added: "For this reason, we decided not to allocate development resources to the creation of additional content in the form of an add-on package. Instead we are really working hard to finish the third part as soon as possible; Therefore, this is the goal that has been our focus."

Fortunately, Square Enix has repeatedly confirmed that the development of the third part of the Final Fantasy 7 remake is going well, and in the past few days, the news of the completion of its plot was officially announced. Due to the fact that players will be able to freely travel to different parts of the map with the Highwind airship in the upcoming game, the development team has had to redesign the whole world of the third part to better match this new feature.
