Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi has confirmed the remake trilogy's story will conclude within the main game when it launches in spring 2027.

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi is actively advocating for a physical release, but platform regulations and industry trends toward digital-only distribution have left the final SKU lineup undecided.

Hamaguchi acknowledges the challenge but remains committed to delivering something tangible for fans.
Square Enix developers Naoki Yoshida and Naoki Hamaguchi revealed that remaking Final Fantasy 6, 8, or 9 in the style of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy would likely require four to five installments per game.
