Key Points:
- The Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, including the upcoming Revelation, has a planned ending that was envisioned from the early stages of development, according to director Naoki Hamaguchi.
- Both Hamaguchi and producer Yoshinori Kitase had clear ideas about the story's conclusion, which will be reflected in FF7 Revelation's narrative.
- The development team is confident in the ending they've created and is eager to see how fans will react, though it remains unclear if the remakes will diverge significantly from the original game's ending.
- Hamaguchi revealed that the team does not heavily rely on public feedback, believing that trying to satisfy all opinions could dilute the game's character and appeal.
- This approach contrasts with other franchises like Kingdom Hearts, where fans perceive the story as being developed spontaneously rather than planned.
