Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Name Explained: Why Square Enix Picked 'Revelation' for the Remake Finale
Square Enix confirmed the title Final Fantasy 7 Revelation for the third and final entry in the Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy during its showcase at Summer Game Fest.
The announcement capped a major presentation that featured multiple trailers and materials for the studio's long-running remake project.
Director Naoki Hamaguchi later spoke to Famitsu about how the team settled on the new subtitle and what it signals for the series' conclusion.
Background and context
Final Fantasy VII Remake began as a multi-part retelling of the 1997 original and was officially described by Square Enix as a trilogy.
The publisher used Summer Game Fest to reveal the name of the concluding chapter, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, and released several trailers and assets alongside that reveal.
The development team behind the remake series includes Naoki Hamaguchi in a directorial role and Tetsuya Nomura as the series' creative director.
Why the team chose 'Revelation'
In an interview with Famitsu, Hamaguchi described the naming process and credited Nomura with the final decision.
Rewriting his comments in clear journalistic terms: Hamaguchi said that the team considered many title options, but Nomura ultimately chose the word "Revelation" because it is a familiar term across entertainment media and succinctly signals the game’s role as the trilogy’s conclusion and a point where major truths are revealed to the player.
Release platforms and related notes
Square Enix’s Summer Game Fest presentation confirmed the title and showcased the game with trailers and screens targeted at multiple audiences.
According to the announcement materials, Square Enix indicated that Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will appear on Nintendo Switch next spring.
The Famitsu interview and English translations were provided by Simon Griffin and SatsumaFS on behalf of Nintendo Everything.
Developer commentary and industry context
Hamaguchi also recently commented more broadly about the state of RPGs, noting concerns about how streaming culture can affect player expectations and narrative delivery.
Those remarks were presented alongside the Famitsu coverage of the game's title decision.
What to watch next
With the title now official, attention will turn to release windows, platform-specific details, and further footage from Square Enix.
Fans and industry observers should look to official Square Enix channels and future events such as Nintendo Direct and additional showcases for concrete release dates, storefront listings on the eShop, and platform-specific trailers.
