Next Final Fantasy Game Already Has One Confirmed Feature

Director Naoki Hamaguchi said the next Final Fantasy 7 entry will make rewards for optional activities more explicit.

Combat-focused tasks will grant battle upgrades, while Queen's Blood will reward cards, tying rewards directly to the activity type.

That should let players engage with the content they actually want without chasing unrelated progression items.

The change may reduce open-world fatigue and make side content feel more purposeful, while answering criticism of Rebirth's reward design.
