- A complete experience including the campaign, side activities, and endgame content could take up to 100 hours, Hamaguchi estimates.
- By the interview, Hamaguchi had completed 46 playthroughs during the game's development.
- For different tests, he sometimes skips combat and instead focuses on the story or other game elements.
- Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is scheduled to launch on April 8, 2027, for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2.
In a standard playthrough from beginning to end, if I were to review and check every single asset and element in the game, it'll easily take over a hundred hours.— Naoki Hamaguchi, game director, said to GameSpot.
