Naoki Hamaguchi Doubles Down on Connecting All Final Fantasy VII Spin-Offs Into Revelation’s Ending
Final Fantasy VII Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed that multiple spin-offs from the broader Final Fantasy VII universe will converge into the game’s ending, addressing long-standing fan theories about narrative connections across the franchise.
During an interview at the Final Fantasy XIV Fan Festival Berlin 2026, Hamaguchi acknowledged he is closely monitoring fan speculation regarding how other FF7 properties tie into Revelation. He revealed that he is deliberately weaving titles including Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core into the story’s conclusion, while also maintaining continuity with the Advent Children film.
The statement suggests that Square Enix is taking a cohesive approach to the Final Fantasy VII expanded universe, incorporating elements from its various spin-offs and media adaptations into the third entry of the Remake trilogy. This represents an effort to create a unified narrative experience across previously standalone stories, validating some of the community’s connected-universe theories.
