Director Naoki Hamaguchi is encouraging players to shift their focus away from speculating about the conclusion of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation. As the third and final entry in the remake project approaches, Hamaguchi expressed a desire for fans to appreciate the trilogy as a complete work rather than obsessing over how the narrative wraps up.
Focusing on the Full Experience
In a recent interview with Automaton, Hamaguchi addressed the persistent theories regarding the trilogy’s finale. While acknowledging that fans are eager for answers, he emphasized that he has not disclosed the specific direction of the ending. He noted that he wants players to be satisfied when looking back at the entire trilogy, rather than fixating on the final moments alone.
Regarding the nature of the conclusion, Hamaguchi stated that it “might be fully faithful to the original” or “something completely different.” He reiterated that the team is aiming for a definitive ending that avoids the cliffhanger approach seen in previous installments.
Development and Release Context
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is currently scheduled for release in 2027. The project, led by Square Enix, represents the culmination of the remake series that began over a decade ago. While the team has confirmed that the title will feature a large-scale open world, Hamaguchi’s recent comments serve as a reminder to manage expectations regarding the narrative's final departure from or adherence to the source material.
