Whether you believe it or not, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi says the end's been planned from the start

The squad are feeling "confident" successful however they've approached it, too

Generally erstwhile a crippled gets remade, you'll presume that it'll mostly beryllium the aforesaid astatine slightest narratively, fixed however not mean tin beryllium with works that are considered uncomfortably sacred. That's surely what galore whitethorn person guessed astir the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, lone those pesky Whispers to get successful the mode offering immoderate changes present and there. Rebirth continued that present and there, staying the people successful different ways, and Revelation volition beryllium retired adjacent twelvemonth with an ending you can't change. And according to manager Naoki Hamaguchi, that ending has been planned close from the beginning, much oregon less.

"Obviously, I can’t stock existent details connected however this communicative is going to end, but successful presumption of however we envisioned the conclusion, we did person immoderate benignant of an thought of what we wanted to bash astatine the end," Hamaguchi explained successful an interrogation with VGC. "So we did person a benignant of absorption from the aboriginal days of development. The aforesaid goes for the producer, Yoshinori Kitase. He had his visions arsenic well, and immoderate of that is applied successful the decision that we’re telling successful FF7 Revelation."

Hamaguchi besides noted that the squad is "pretty confident" with the ending they've concocted, sharing excitement implicit however everyone volition react. Of course, inactive nary denotation determination arsenic to whether the trio of remakes volition opt for an alternate ending to the original. At slightest the remakes won't person to endure from the aforesaid affliction arsenic Kingdom Hearts, whereby everyone believes creator Testuya Nomura is making it up arsenic helium goes on (as if this isn't conscionable storytelling successful wide anyway).

In the aforesaid interview, Hamaguchi besides spoke of however helium responds to feedback from the wide public, which seems to beryllium a wide ethos of "not that much, really." He explains that trying to code the "median average" of feedback mightiness not effect successful a "better product," saying, "if you you were to code each the antagonistic feedback, and adjacent instrumentality the affirmative feedback into account, sometimes it’s a lawsuit that you’re seeing 2 sides of the utmost opinions, and by applying each of that, it’s imaginable that you travel up with a merchandise that doesn’t truly person immoderate character. It’s conscionable a blank authorities that doesn’t truly person immoderate beardown appeal."

This is simply a stance I appreciate, fixed my past arsenic a Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth minigame defender. As a reminder, a batch of radical didn't similar however stuffed with minigames Rebirth was, and Hamaguchi says that Revelation volition person conscionable arsenic galore if not more, hence this consciousness of quality helium talks about. Refinement is overrated! Though video games are a spot excessively agelong these days, so, I'm inactive hoping Revelation won't instrumentality maine 10,000 hours to finish.
