Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Director Feels the Weight Lifting as Game Nears Completion

Exciting news for fans of the Final Fantasy series! Naoki Hamaguchi, the director behind the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, has revealed that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is getting close to the finish line. In a recent chat with YouTube creator Ashif from Release Notes, Hamaguchi opened up about the journey of developing this iconic RPG, sharing that he feels a sense of relief as the project nears completion.

After dedicating 12 years to this ambitious project, Hamaguchi expressed how the responsibility and pressure have been immense, but now he senses that burden easing. He mentioned, “Having been able to announce FF7 Revelation at SGF, I hope that people out there can look at it and think this looks like it will be pretty good.” As he plays through the game, he feels a renewed sense of satisfaction with the results, saying, “I can personally pick it up and think, ‘yeah, this feels good; this is satisfying.'”

The stakes are high for this final chapter in the trilogy, especially since it coincides with the original game’s 30th anniversary. Hamaguchi is aware of the significance this release holds for fans, noting, “Of course, the final judgment is in the hands of the players… but I feel confident.” He added, “I can see the end. So my honest state at the moment is that I can finally feel that pressure lifting.”

Despite some mixed feelings around previous entries in the remake series, including the cliffhanger ending of Rebirth, it’s hard to ignore that the games have delivered a fantastic experience for many players. With Revelation on the horizon, there’s hope that it will tie up loose ends and clarify some of the more confusing elements of the remake timeline. Fans are eager to see if the ending will remain true to the original or if it will veer off into new territory. Only time will tell, but for now, the excitement is palpable!
