Naoki Hamaguchi Confirms No DLC For Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Speaking toThe Daily Star, Hamaguchi acknowledged fan calls for Rebirth DLC, saying, “We definitely do hear the desire from fans, the voices out there that want that kind of thing.”
However, while fans may seem desperate for extra content for Square Enix’sGame of the Year nominated title, Hamaguchi parses their enthusiasm as something else. “I understand it completely, but I think, from my perspective, what the fans really want to see the most is not necessarily DLC. They want to see the third part of the series as quickly as possible,” he says.

It’s this feeling, that fans would prefer Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 over DLC, that has dictated Hamaguchi’s development efforts for the game’s third and final entry.
“So that’s why we’ve decided not to focus the development resources on creating additional extra episodes for DLC at the moment. We really are putting all our efforts into getting the third game out as quickly as we can. So for the moment, that’s where we’re focusing our time.”

After constant rumors, Final Fantasy 7 Remake was announcedduring E3 2015. In the years that followed, information on the title was limited, leaving fans in an impatient limbo. The game was finally released in 2020to a rousing reception, and four years later, Rebirth wasreleased to similar acclaim. It’s during these development cycles that the Remake team almost certainly realized the necessity of getting the games out as quickly as possible— to satiate the needs of its rabid fan base, and it’s because of this, you may see why Hamaguchi is focused on getting Part 3 out as soon as possible.
