Biggs however gets [[spoiler:transported to the Terrier timeline because of Cloud's party defeating the grey whispers.

A rather conservative one, but a prediction nonetheless. It posits that in addition to the six explorable regions in ''Rebirth''[[note]]The Grasslands, Junon, Corel, Gongaga, Cosmo Canyon, and Nibel.[[/note]], there will be more added throughout ''Final Fantasy VII'''s world. Some potential possibilities include:
* Icicle Area, featuring places like the Icicle Inn, Bone Village, and perhaps the Forgotten Capital.
* Mideel, featuring Mideel village and maybe the ruins of Banora.
* Wutai
* Rocket Town.

Banora. Perhaps there can also be an entirely new settlement in the area where survivors relocate to after Ultima Weapon destroys Mideel.
* Wutai
'''Wutai''': this one likely depends on Wutai town's scale. If it's a smaller town like in the original game, then it could be a central settlement to an explorable area. If it's made bigger to account it being the capital of an entire country, then it could be a more linear location like Midgar in ''Remake'' and Junon in ''Rebirth''. Either way, it has been confirmed that it will be visited thanks in part to Yuffie now being an integrated party member.
* '''Rocket Town''': as Rocket Town.
Town was relegated from being visitied in ''Rebirth'' with its various events getting spread out,[[note]]Cid and the Tiny Bronco are first introduced in Gongaga, the Materia Keeper is fought in the Nibelheim flashback, and the fight with Palmer is in the Corel area.[[/note]] its visitablility is most likely reserved for part 3. Whether or not it will have side content is another question: while its absense in ''Rebirth'' only makes it have one event in the original game remaining (the Rocket Launch), it could be expanded upon drastically in order to tell Cid's story, and meeting characters like Shera. It could also be where the cave Lucrecia rests in can be, in order to help expand Vincent's story.

[[WMG:The Weapons in part 3]]
In keeping with the theme of ''7'', the Weapons will number [[RuleOfSeven exactly seven]], but with a catch: Ultima and Omega may be amalgamated with each other, to avoid a blatant redundancy (Ultima = the '''Ultima'''te Weapon; Omega = a letter meaning 'ends, conclusion'). This gives an opening for a new Weapon, exclusive to part 3.

The prediction goes that Cloud's camaraderie with the Seventh Infantry will cause them to defect against Shinra at some point and provide aid to the party in various ways. The lategame sidequest "Beneath Still Waters" reveals the unit and their commanders know Cloud and the gang's true identities, but this fondness allows them to stay free off the hook. Additonally, the sidequest reveals that they were ordered to stay stationed in the Junon area rather than return to Midgar. These sets of circumstances combined with what happens in Junon in disc 2 (Barret and Tifa getting captured, Sapphire Weapon's attack, et cetera) could allow a window of opportunity for the Seventh Infantry to defect and help Cloud's party through capturing the Highwind with Cid during Yuffie and Cait Sith's rescue operation.

[[WMG:The Midgar Seventh Infantry will defect from Shinra and become the crew of the ''Highwind'']]
Much like how ''Rebirth'' keeps a bunch of side characters from ''Remake'' around (some examples being Roche, Chadley, the Wallmarket triad, and Kyrie Canaan), it's safe to assume that Part 3 will do the same thing. The lategame sidequest "Beneath Still Waters" reveals the unit and their commanders now recognize Cloud and the gang's true identities, and that they've grown on them enough to keep them free. This, combined with the initial order to stay in Junon, leads to the prediction that they will eventually defect from Shinra and take over the ''Highwind'' during the Sapphire Weapon's attack on Junon upon seeing Barret and Tifa set up for execution.
