While some of this was typical of an open-world game, there was widespread criticism that the world felt too bloated. With <em>Revelation<\/em>, the conclusion of the trilogy, Square Enix is fixing the problem.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<p>In an interview with IGN Japan (translated by X user Genki), director Naoki Hamaguchi revealed that <em>Revelation <\/em>will introduce an auto-leveling system that will allow players to focus on the main story. The team at Square Enix came up with the feature in response to fan feedback about<em> Rebirth<\/em>&#8216;s open-world and lengthy playtime. The new feature will make <em>Revelation <\/em>feel closer to <em>Remake<\/em>&#8216;s more linear experience by prompting players to choose if they want to automatically raise their party&#8217;s level to the recommended requirement for any given story mission. This way, the main story can be experienced without the need to engage in open-world bloat or traditional RPG grinding.<\/p>\n<p>This system will be optional, and players who want to spend as much time as possible in the game&#8217;s sprawling world can ignore it. <em>Revelation <\/em>may actually be bigger than even <em>Rebirth<\/em>, with a combination of returning and new environments to explore. That&#8217;s good news for anyone who likes engaging with every optional piece of a game, but is daunting for those who just want to see the long-awaited conclusion of the trilogy.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-else-do-we-know-about-final-fantasy-7-revelation\">\n                        What else do we know about Final Fantasy 7 Revelation?<br \/>\n               <\/h2>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-vignette\">\n        <!-- ============================================================\n     Polygon &mdash; Wishlister Newsletter Signup Widget &mdash; Markup\n     Pairs with polygon-newsletter-widget.css (shared with the\n     Switchboard widget &mdash; same component system, new copy\/art).\n     Needs Montserrat loaded once on the page:\n     <link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Montserrat:wght@600;700;800&display=swap\">\n\n     IMPORTANT &mdash; image src below is a placeholder.

It will also be getting a physical release like previous entries in the series, but there is a major catch. <em>Remake <\/em>and <em>Rebirth <\/em>shipped on multiple discs, allowing offline play; <em>Revelation <\/em>will ship on a single disc that contains only partial data, requiring a download.<\/p>\n<p>Hamaguchi has stated that the full game size will be somewhere around 200 GB. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X discs can only hold about 100 GB of data, which means that even two discs may not have been enough for all of <em>Revelation<\/em>&#8216;s files. While the need to download files isn&#8217;t great for players wanting to hold onto physical media, the inclusion of even a single disc is still better than a lot of AAA games lately. If we are lucky, a complete trilogy release will come out later down the line that puts all three games on discs.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"display-card  article article-card small  no-badge  active-content                              \" data-include-community-rating=\"false\" id=\"final-fantasy-7-revelation-preview-gamescom-2026\" data-nosnippet=\"\" wp_automatic_readability=\"0.44897959183673\">\n<p>                        <img width=\"440\" height=\"248\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"02_Tifa_re2_FIX\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/02_tifa_re2_fix.png?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=220&amp;h=124&amp;dpr=2\" src=\"https:\/\/static0.polygonimages.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/02_tifa_re2_fix.png?q=49&amp;fit=crop&amp;w=220&amp;h=124&amp;dpr=2\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                    <span data-field=\"label\" class=\"article-card-label\"><label>Related<\/label><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-content regular article-block\" wp_automatic_readability=\"13.352517985612\">\n<h5 class=\"display-card-title \">\n<p>\t\t\tFinal Fantasy 7 Revelation is approximately 500,000 times the size of FF7 Rebirth<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<p class=\"display-card-excerpt\">45 impressive minutes with Square Enix&#8217;s trilogy capstone<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/ff7-final-fantasy-7-revelation-auto-level\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the biggest questions when Square Enix announced its plan to remake Final Fantasy 7 into a trilogy of full-length RPGs was how the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":86828,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[8209,20498,336,15066,24255,463],"class_list":["post-86827","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-features","tag-ff7","tag-fix","tag-rebirths","tag-revelation","tag-worst","wpcat-32-id"],"brizy_media":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86827","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=86827"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86827\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/86828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=86827"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=86827"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=86827"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
