Square Enix Says Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Will Be Roughly 200GB and Ship on Disc with Day‑One Downloads

The director says larger files let the team avoid cutting content and deliver last‑minute fixes while confirming two paid story DLCs and new optional material.

Overview

  • Director Naoki Hamaguchi told press at Tokyo Game Show on Friday that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is likely to be about 200GB, a size he says exceeds current Blu‑ray disc capacity and forces a hybrid physical-plus-download release.
  • Square Enix will sell physical editions that include only partial game data on disc, requiring players to download the remainder before they can play so the studio can avoid trimming content and apply day‑one fixes.
  • Hamaguchi confirmed two paid story DLC packages focused on Vincent Valentine and Sephiroth, which he compared to the earlier Intermission expansion in purpose and scope.
  • The studio is staging different demos to communicate scale: a media demo beginning around Chapter 4 shows the game’s breadth while a narrower public demo presents an earlier, focused chapter to introduce gameplay and story.
  • Revelation’s size and distribution choices follow the growing file sizes of the remake series and raise clear storage concerns for players, especially on consoles with limited internal space such as Nintendo Switch 2, while also allowing easier post‑release patching.
