Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3: Is September the Month Fans Finally Get the Reveal?

Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting closer to the spotlight, and gamers are getting ready for what could be one of the most-anticipated news stories in years. It couldn't be more interesting when it happens.

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis will host its second anniversary live stream on September 5, 2025, at 8:00 P.M. Japan Standard Time, according to Square Enix. Fans have learned from the past to pay attention to what the development team says, even though the event is all about the mobile game.

Motomu Toriyama, the director of Ever Crisis, said last year that by the time the game's second anniversary came around, there would probably be news about how the Remake project was going. Those words still linger in the air, prompting people to think that the next part might be revealed soon. 

Right now, what's interesting is not certainty, but potential. Finally, there has been no official word that Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 will be shown during the anniversary show. In fact, there's a good chance it won't. Still, Toriyama's comment sticks out like a well-placed hint, pointing to September as a possible month for the long-awaited update.

The business world loves these times of quiet suspense, when a date on the calendar becomes a sign of what's to come. September is already shaping up to be a pivotal month for the gaming industry. The Tokyo Game Show, one of the world's largest events, returns a few weeks after the Ever Crisis show. 

Additionally, there are strong rumors that PlayStation will host a new State of Play showcase. A trusted insider, Jeff Grubb, says it's likely to happen. In the past, September has been a good time for PlayStation to release big updates. This year, the fact that anniversaries, expos, and showcase reports all happen at the same time makes people even more excited.

It's not a matter of if or where the reveal will happen. Would Square Enix pick the status of the Tokyo Game Show, which would put Japanese RPG stories in the spotlight around the world? Or would they prefer the closeness and focus on movies of a PlayStation State of Play, where the Remake project has already made its mark?

It's also possible that Square Enix will go its own way, as it did with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, revealing the project in a surprise show meant to maximize its impact. Each choice carries its own strategic weight, and the choice will reveal a great deal about how Square Enix intends to shape the discussion surrounding the end of the trilogy.

One thing is certain: the level of hope. This isn't just another update. Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is the last part of one of the biggest remakes in video game history. The original Final Fantasy VII remains a cultural touchstone, and the Remake series has been bold enough to remake it with a story that explores the very concept of fate itself.

After the events of Remake and Rebirth, the third and final movie is supposed to have the kind of emotional high point and dramatic show that defines an entire generation of players. There is a lot of talk about what the surprise might look like. At either the Tokyo Game Show or a PlayStation showcase, a teaser video would set the scene.

It would only show a small part of the story before going into more detail at The Game Awards later that year. This rhythm—tease, build, crescendo—has been used for years in the business to balance mystery and show. It's very important for Square Enix. Everything about the surprise, from where it happens to when it happens, can set the tone for the last part of this story.

Right now, there is silence. But in Final Fantasy, quiet isn't always empty. It's the quiet before the storm breaks, the pause before the orchestra rises. September seems like the right month for the curtain to go up on Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3.

It doesn't matter if the reveal happens in Tokyo, at PlayStation's showcase, or by Square Enix themselves. Until then, gamers worldwide are growing increasingly excited as they await the final installment of one of the biggest gaming trilogies to come together.
