## Summary

Naoki Hamaguchi says the final game in the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy will use its impending planetary disaster to explore existential themes and the characters’ reasons for fighting. The story is intended to make helping people and exploring the world feel meaningful, even as the threat of Meteor approaches.

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is due in April 2027. Its large world map will load detailed areas as players approach, while Dynamic Mode scales enemies to their level; combat will also offer optional FITS traits and up to five equipment and materia presets per character. Hamaguchi said he hopes to keep working with the team, with possible future projects including another Final Fantasy game, a new AAA series or a remake.
