The director of Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Naoki Hamaguchi, has announced significant changes for Tifa Lockhart in the upcoming third installment of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy. With an emphasis on showcasing her strength, Tifa is set to play a more formidable role. This development promises a new dimension to her character, which has intrigued fans and followers of the series.
Earlier reports from various sources indicate that previous installments of Final Fantasy 7 Remake had already set a high bar for character development. Comparatively, the focus on Tifa’s enhanced abilities in the third game seems to be an ambitious move to keep the series fresh and engaging. The anticipation is palpable, especially since past games had not necessarily emphasized individual character strengths to this extent.
Tifa’s Enhanced Role
Naoki Hamaguchi has stated that Tifa will be displayed as a much stronger character in the third game. This shift aims to differentiate her significantly from her roles in the previous installments. Fans anticipate a robust portrayal that will highlight her capabilities like never before. Hamaguchi shared on a social media platform,
FF7 Rebirth Director Naoki Hamaguchi said they want to show a new strong Tifa in part 3 that is different from the Tifa in part 1 and part 2!
New Gameplay System
In addition to the enhanced character portrayal, the third game will introduce a new gameplay system that integrates Tifa in some innovative ways. While specific details about this system remain under wraps, the announcement has generated considerable excitement among the community. Genki, a user known for reporting on gaming industries, mentioned,

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth saw a strong critical reception upon its release on PlayStation 5 in February. However, the game did not meet Square Enix’s sales expectations, with reports indicating it sold about half as many copies as the Final Fantasy 7 Remake within the same timeframe. This new focus on Tifa and the revamped gameplay system are likely attempts to reignite interest and boost future sales.
The third game of the trilogy is currently in production, without an official title yet. The emphasis on Tifa Lockhart’s enhanced role and the introduction of a new gameplay system could significantly impact the game’s reception. Fans eagerly await more details, which could provide insight into how these changes will shape the overall experience.
