Naoki Hamaguchi Says Final Fantasy VII Revelation Is “Extremely Well

Final Fantasy 7’s remake-era lineup has reportedly started to regain momentum as it expands beyond earlier platform limits. Series director Naoki Hamaguchi says Final Fantasy VII Revelation is performing “extremely well,” and that the game’s attention is feeding demand back into Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth.

Momentum after wider releases

In an interview, Hamaguchi was asked how the Final Fantasy 7 games are doing as they continue to appear on sales charts. He responded that they are performing “extremely well,” pointing to steady sales for both Remake and Rebirth even before Summer Game Fest 2026.

Hamaguchi says both Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth were selling steadily before Summer Game Fest 2026.
He adds that when Remake became a “hot topic” after Rebirth was announced, Remake’s sales rose in response.
He expects similar effects when Revelation generates attention, saying more players will become interested in Rebirth.

Revelation’s reveal boost exceeded expectations

Hamaguchi also described the sales impact that followed Revelation’s reveal at Summer Game Fest. He said the increase in players it brought was “several times better than we had expected,” suggesting the games are helping one another through the marketing cycle.

The player boost tied to Revelation’s reveal at Summer Game Fest was “several times better” than the team anticipated.

He did not provide specific sales figures.

Reaching multiple platforms and what comes next

Hamaguchi later noted he couldn’t share exact numbers, but emphasized that sales are “better than most people probably imagine.” His comments come amid the broader shift away from earlier PlayStation exclusivity, with Revelation launching across all systems at the same time.
