Naoki Hamaguchi, game director on Final Fantasy VII Revelation, has revealed during a talk with YouTube’s Ashif’s Release Notes that the upcoming RPG will connect to the series’ expanded universe such as Advent Children and various spinoffs.
I see a great deal of that discussion. I’ve seen a lot of people discussing and speculating off the back of interviews with myself and with Kitase-san, ‘Is the ending of this going to connect to Advent Children?’ But it’s not a question. I don’t want to sit here and say it connects to this, it connects to that. But obviously, there are a lot of other titles within the 7 universe. So, we’re talking about Advent Children, we’re talking about Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core. And we want to bring all of those in and make sure we’re not leaving those out.
And then on top of that, once we have all of those in place, we’re looking towards the ending. And then the question is, what kind of ending are we going to head for in Revelation that still has those ties? And I think that’s something that I really hope players will look forward to finding out.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation will be showcased during GamesCom Opening Night Live later this month, and the game is scheduled to launch in Spring 2027 for PS5, PC, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X/S.
Hamaguchi-san revealed during an interview with GamesRadar that the job system in FFVII Revelation, known as FITS, will be limited to four jobs per character. In addition, he revealed to Automanton-Media that any potential DLC for the game will focus on ‘untold‘ stories of its cast, as the main game will conclude the story.
