Final Fantasy VII: Revelation to Fold Spin‑Off Characters Into Remake Finale

Naoki Hamaguchi said the team will integrate characters and settings from Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core with some material possibly released later as DLC tied to player demand.

Overview

  • Series director Naoki Hamaguchi said at a Shanghai fan Q&A on June 24 that Revelation will pull characters and concepts from Final Fantasy VII spin‑offs into the remake trilogy’s final entry.
  • Hamaguchi declined to confirm specific appearances when asked about Cissnei, saying it is best not to say at this time.
  • He indicated content connected to Dirge of Cerberus, such as its soldiers, could be included in Revelation or offered later as DLC depending on sales and player interest.
  • Square Enix still positions Revelation as the trilogy’s planned finale, with development ongoing for a spring 2027 release across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and Switch 2 that aims to expand exploration and endgame systems.
  • The comments continue a deliberate reinterpretation of FFVII that merges the original game and its compilation works into a single, new version of the story, a move meant to reach varied fan communities but likely to shape post‑launch plans and expectations.
