One of the best parts of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth was its open world.
There was plenty to see and do in the game, and best of all, most of it had a purpose. Sure, there were some Ubisoft-style chores, but there was enough worthwhile side content that made it all worthwhile.
Nothing, however, holds a candle to Queen’s Blood, the popular in-game trading card game that I lost countless hours to.
Why Final Fantasy 7 Remake Director Refuses To Choose Between Cloud’s Love Interests
It’s one of Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s most important questions, and the game’s director “absolutely cannot answer” it.
Like Gwent with The Witcher 3, Queen’s Blood is arguably more addictive than the game it is featured in. It’s familiar enough to something like Magic: the Gathering while still being its own, unique thing, feeling fresh and new.
One key question leading into the eventual release of the third and final entry of the Final Fantasy VII trilogy will be back in a big way. “Queen’s Blood is a very popular and beloved minigame, and I believe a lot of people are still wanting something like that,” director Naoki Hamaguchi told Polygon. “I want to expand on Queen’s Blood so that we are enhancing it, and giving you a more powered-up version of it when you see that third installment… Queen’s Blood is still going to be available in the third installment. We just want to expand on it.”
Another Popular Final Fantasy VII Minigame Will Also Be Introduced
That’s not all, sports fans. Hamaguchi adds that minigames, which were a large part of Rebirth, will continue to be a big focus in the trilogy’s third entry. Final Fantasy VII snowboarding is being done as well.
“This is something that fans have really deep memories about!” Hamaguchi said. “I’m afraid I can’t delve too much into the details, but we understand that it’s not going to be just a simple snowboarding minigame. We want to make sure that it’s incorporated into the story to have that sort of connection with the theming of it.”
FF7 Remake Trilogy Director Is Open To A Fourth Entry
The Director of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy has said that DLC for the third game or even a fourth game could be released in the future.
Beyond that, details on what’s in store for the final Final Fantasy VII game are still sparse. Hamaguchi adds that he believes that things are “coming along very smoothly” and the team is on track for internal milestones. While the game is technically playable, it still needs some polish.
In the meantime, you can now play Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is currently in development for both systems. Both games are available now on PlayStation 5 and PC.
