FF7 Remake Trilogy Director Says Its Scale May Never Be Matched

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi says the remake trilogy's massive scale makes it an industry anomaly that's unlikely to be repeated.

Think you've seen ambitious game projects? Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi reckons the remake trilogy might be the biggest one we'll ever get.

Speaking in a recent interview reported by Nintenderos, Hamaguchi opened up about the decade-plus remake project he's been steering at Square Enix. His take? The sheer scope of rebuilding Final Fantasy 7 across three full-scale games is something the industry probably won't see again.

"From the perspective of its impact on the entertainment industry, this remake trilogy is destined to be remembered for a long time," Hamaguchi said. "The original Final Fantasy 7 already had deep foundations, and the overall scale of this trilogy remake project is unprecedented."

He didn't stop there. In his view, it's hard to imagine another game project spanning three separate titles and matching this kind of scale ever being born again. That, he says, is what makes the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy a true industry exception - and he's proud of it.

It's a bold claim, but you can see where he's coming from. This isn't just one remake - it's a full reimagining spread across three massive RPGs, each one built from the ground up. Few studios have the resources, the staff, or frankly the nerve to commit to something like that.

And the finish line is finally in sight. Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is set to launch on April 8, 2027, arriving on PC, PS5, Switch 2, and Xbox. That's a wide spread of platforms for a series that started life as a PlayStation exclusive, so plenty of you will get to see how this saga wraps up.

Whether Hamaguchi's prediction holds true or not, one thing's clear: the team behind this trilogy isn't thinking small. And after years of waiting, fans are about to find out if all that ambition pays off.

What do you think - is the FF7 Remake trilogy really a one-of-a-kind project, or will someone else try to top it someday? Let us know in the comments.
