FF7 Revelation Director Fought for Physical Release

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director says he argued for a physical version, but understands why some fans are disappointed.

Ever been bummed that your most anticipated game is digital-only? You're not alone. The director of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation recently revealed that he actually pushed for a physical version of the game.

In a candid comment, he said, "I did my best" when it came to arguing for a disc release. That simple phrase says a lot — it shows he was on the fans' side, even if things didn't work out.

He also acknowledged that he gets why some fans are disappointed. After all, plenty of players still love having a physical copy on their shelf. There's just something about holding the case, flipping through the manual, and knowing you truly own the game.

But here's the thing: going digital-only isn't always the director's call. There are business decisions, manufacturing costs, and platform strategies at play. Sometimes even the creative team can't make it happen, no matter how hard they try.

So while it's a bummer for collectors, at least we know the director had our backs. He didn't just shrug it off — he actually fought for it. That's worth something.

For now, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is still coming, just without a physical option. Will you miss having a disc, or are you all-in on digital? Let us know in the comments!
