Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Confirms the Return of Everyone's Favorite Lab Assistant
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Trilogy lead Naoki Hamaguchi has confirmed that the divisive materia researcher Chadley will return in Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3, though his exact gameplay role remains under wraps.
Development on the final chapter of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy is moving steadily forward, and the team is already pulling back the curtain on familiar faces. According to an interview with trilogy lead Naoki Hamaguchi on Restart, everyone's favorite hyperactive materia researcher, Chadley, is officially returning for Part 3. While Hamaguchi kept quiet on whether the relentlessly chatty lab assistant will finally step up as a fully playable party member, he confirmed that Chadley will play a major role in the story as the trilogy reaches its conclusion.
For better or worse, Chadley has become a central pillar of the modern Final Fantasy 7 experience. Originally introduced as a simple vendor for optional combat data, he evolved into the mastermind behind sprawling side content like Queen's Blood and Fort Condor. While his constant chatter and endless list of tasks have earned him a reputation as gaming's ultimate overachieving teacher's pet, his deeper narrative ties and secret motivations hint at a much larger payoff in the final game. Expect to feed him plenty more battle intel when the next installment drops.
Outside of Chadley's guaranteed comeback, Square Enix is keeping major details about Part 3 under wraps. However, Hamaguchi has already put in serious work behind the scenes, having reportedly completed over forty full playthroughs of the game in development. As we wait for an official title and a clearer look at how the open world and minigame loops will evolve for the grand finale, you can catch the full interview over at Eurogamer to read more about what is shaping up to be a massive conclusion.
