Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Finale Will Easily Eclipse 100 Hours for Completionists, Director Teases
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Square Enix director Naoki Hamaguchi reveals that completionist runs for Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will easily surpass 100 hours of playtime.
Square Enix is making sure the final chapter of its massive remake project lives up to expectations. In a recent interview with GameSpot, director Naoki Hamaguchi revealed that completionist playthroughs for Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will easily take over a hundred hours to finish. As Cloud and the rest of the party gear up for their definitive showdown against Sephiroth across PC and consoles, players will have access to the iconic Highwind airship to traverse a sprawling world packed with side content, minigames, and heavy exploration.
Hamaguchi noted that even checking every asset and element during development requires massive time investments, forcing him to occasionally skip combat just to review the narrative pacing. The director has already cranked out 46 full playthroughs ahead of the April 2027 release date, carrying a PS5 controller on business trips to test build updates during downtime. That sheer scale comes with a technical footprint to match, with the team previously warning that the final installment could demand around 200GB of storage space.
While linear runs through the main story will vary in length, the sheer volume of optional content guarantees that modern RPG fans will have plenty of hours to sink into the virtual economy and progression loops. As we get closer to the April 8 launch across multiple platforms, players can expect another monumental adventure that treats its sprawling runtime as a core part of the social and entertainment experience.
