## Summary

Square Enix is changing parts of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation’s story to preserve suspense and keep the remake trilogy feeling both familiar and new. Director Naoki Hamaguchi says the changes are guided by a small group of original creators, rather than by broad fan feedback, so the team can pursue its own vision.

Hamaguchi says major story decisions require approval from figures including Yoshinori Kitase, Tetsuya Nomura, Kazushige Nojima and Motomu Toriyama. Elements such as the Whispers and Zack appearing in another dimension illustrate the trilogy’s altered timeline and expanded narrative. Revelation is planned as the trilogy’s conclusion in early 2027, following Remake and Rebirth.
