Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Director Focused on Executing Vision, Not Debating Aerith's Fate
- Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director felt no pressure over Aerith's anticipated fate, credits writer Kazushige Nojima for the direction
- Director Naoki Hamaguchi focused on executing Nojima’s vision for the story rather than sparking internal debates
- Hamaguchi took over directing duties from Tetsuya Nomura, who retains a vital creative role and came up with the "Rebirth" subtitle
- Development lessons from FFXVI were hard to implement due to Rebirth's structure being locked in early on
- Rocket Town may appear in the third remake installment; Compilation of FF7 characters and story beats will likely continue to be incorporated
