Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Director Says Minigame Decisions Rest on Him Alone

Director Naoki Hamaguchi has addressed fan concerns about the next game. He speaks about the small games included within the main story.

Many players argue over how many side activities should appear in the release. Hamaguchi states that the final count comes from him alone. He believes taking responsibility for these choices is part of his job.

Player opinions do matter for other parts of the experience. The team listens when fans say a challenge is too hard or not fun to play. They want players to join in because they want to, not because they must.

Adjustments have been made since the last title called Rebirth came out. The goal now is smoother interactions with the side content fans will find. Difficulty settings will help those who do not like these challenges skip them.

Money and items players earn from activities also changed to feel easier. Rewards will mostly no longer depend on combat supplies. This allows fans to enjoy the work without extra stress from losing gear.

Hamaguchi recalls a rule set for the previous Remake series. The plan was always to keep the rich style of minigames found in the original story. He stands by that policy even when people debate its worth.

The new game will arrive on April 8th, 2027. It launches on PC and consoles including the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Fans will also play it on the Nintendo Switch 2 system.

This release marks a shift from past titles that stayed with one brand. Hamaguchi calls this move inevitable as the series continues across more devices. The team is ready to share this final chapter widely.
