Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi has confirmed the remake trilogy’s finale will feature “one singular ending” for everyone, but players will have a lot of freedom to shape Cloud’s final chapter.<\/p>\n
The developer commented on Square Enix’s approach to choice in the recently announced game during a conversation with GamesRadar+. Like Remake and Rebirth before it, Revelation will put Cloud in situations that require him to make choices that can affect the world around him.<\/p>\n
Hamaguchi suggested that, as Square Enix aimed to drive home its theme of “resolve,” the team didn’t want fans to finish the story feeling like everyone had the same experience. For Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, that means making this last leg of the journey feel just as personal for the players controlling the story as it does for Cloud, Tifa, Barret, and the rest of the gang.<\/p>\n
“This goes without saying, but our heroes, Cloud and his companions, are beloved by a lot of fans around the world,” he said via translator. “But when we thought about that, we didn’t want to just kind of deliver a singular storytelling experience for every single player around the world. We wanted each player \u2013 each fan \u2013 to have a unique experience as they head on to the final battle.”<\/p>\n
That means a return to the kind of freedom that let players guide the story in Remake and Rebirth. Instead of taking Cloud’s crush on a date at The Golden Saucer, Hamaguchi teased that, in Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, some of these player choice-driven moments could affect the story up to the final battle.<\/p>\n
“The idea is to kind of change the approach and the depth of these story moments for these characters in this final chapter,” he said. “We hope players look forward to that moment in the game.”<\/p>\n
