FF7 Revelation: 100+ Hours for Completionists, Director Says

Ever cleared a Final Fantasy game and thought, "That was epic, but I wish there was more"? Well, if you're a completionist, the final chapter of the FF7 remake trilogy might just eat up your entire gaming calendar.

Director Naoki Hamaguchi recently teased that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation—the concluding part of the remake saga—could "easily take over a hundred hours" to fully beat. That's not just the main story; we're talking about doing everything. Every side quest, every secret boss, every tiny piece of materia. If you're the kind of player who refuses to leave a map unexplored, you're in for a massive ride.

For context, Final Fantasy 7 Remake (the first part) took around 30-40 hours for the main story, with completionists sinking 80+ hours. Its sequel, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, ballooned that even further—some players reported over 100 hours just to see the credits, and way more to finish all the optional content. So Hamaguchi's comment about Revelation isn't just hype; it's a pattern. The team clearly loves packing their worlds with things to do.

But what does "over a hundred hours" actually mean for you? If you're a busy gamer with a backlog, that might sound intimidating. On the other hand, if you've been waiting for a game that justifies your investment, this is music to your ears. It suggests Revelation will be the biggest, most ambitious entry yet—a proper send-off to Cloud and the gang.

Of course, Hamaguchi didn't specify exactly how many hours or what kind of content pads that number. Could be optional dungeons, mini-games, or new story beats. But given the team's track record, we're betting it's a mix of everything. And remember, this is the finale—they know fans want closure, so expect plenty of emotional payoff alongside the grind.

One thing's for sure: if you plan to 100% this one, you might want to clear your schedule. Maybe book some vacation days. Or just accept that your social life will take a hit. Either way, it sounds like an adventure worth every minute.

What do you think? Are you ready to sink 100+ hours into Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, or does that sound like too much? Let us know in the comments!
