Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3: Genesis voice tease sparks hopes for a September 5 reveal
Fans hungry for a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 release date may be edging closer to real news. The latest spark comes from Gackt, the performer behind Genesis, who recently shared a photo from a recording studio and remarked it had been over a decade since he’d worked there. The timing has set forums buzzing ahead of Square Enix’s Ever Crisis second-anniversary livestream on September 5, where many expect updates across the wider FF7 projects.
Anticipation has been building since 2024, when Motomu Toriyama, a director and writer on the remake project, noted solid progress and hinted that more information could arrive by the Ever Crisis anniversary. The new voice tease fits that window neatly, though it leaves room for multiple interpretations. Genesis could be returning via the Ever Crisis mobile title, but fans are equally convinced the character might appear in the final chapter of the remake trilogy.
Genesis is best known for a major role in 2007’s Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 and a cameo in Dirge of Cerberus. He wasn’t central to the original Final Fantasy 7, yet the remake series has embraced a broader cast from the Compilation of FF7, making a Part 3 appearance plausible.
Momentum around Part 3 has been growing in other ways, too. Earlier this year, director Naoki Hamaguchi and producer Yoshinori Kitase confirmed the story was complete. Meanwhile, voice talent activity has fueled speculation: Cloud Strife’s actor, Cody Christian, briefly posted a studio shot on social media, complete with a small Cloud illustration, before removing it. Because voice sessions typically occur deeper into production, some fans believe recording for Part 3 could be underway or even wrapping up.
Of course, none of this is official confirmation. Gackt’s studio visit could be tied to Ever Crisis or another Final Fantasy project entirely. Still, the September 5 livestream is perfectly placed to clarify what’s next—whether that’s a tease, a trailer, or the long-awaited Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 release date window.
Bottom line: keep expectations measured, but the signs are promising. With the story locked, voice actors active, and a timely livestream on the horizon, there’s good reason to watch September 5 closely.
