Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Lets Players Shape the Story, But Trilogy Will Have a 'Singular Ending' for All

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi has confirmed that the remake trilogy's finale will feature a single ending for all players, but fans will have plenty of freedom to shape Cloud's final chapter. In a conversation with GamesRadar+, Hamaguchi discussed Square Enix's approach to player choice in the recently announced game. Like Remake and Rebirth before it, Revelation will present Cloud with choices that affect the world around him. Hamaguchi explained that as Square Enix aimed to emphasize the theme of "resolve," the team wanted each fan to have a unique experience leading to the final battle. "We didn't want to just deliver a singular storytelling experience for every player," he said via translator. "We wanted each player to have a unique experience as they head to the final battle." This means a return to the freedom seen in Remake and Rebirth, with choices potentially affecting the story up to the end. Hamaguchi teased that moments like Cloud's date at The Golden Saucer could have deeper impacts in Revelation. "The idea is to change the approach and depth of these story moments for these characters in the final chapter," he said. The reimagined story began with Remake in 2020, but fan anticipation dates back years before Square Enix announced the trilogy in June 2015. As the end approaches next year, Hamaguchi acknowledged that the final moments will "receive a lot of attention" from fans, many of whom are curious or worried about how it will play out. Despite the team's commitment to personalized experiences, he clarified: "There won't be multiple endings that change depending on players' choices. But the process of getting to that singular ending might be different based on choices, so some players might have a different emotion as they reach the story ending." Final Fantasy 7 Revelation was announced at Summer Game Fest 2026 and launches in spring 2027 for PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Recent details include a new English voice actor for Sephiroth and a tweaked approach to mini-games.
