For players who pride themselves on uncovering every secret and completing every side objective, the game is shaping up to be a monumental time investment.<\/p>\n<p>### A Completionist\u2019s Dream: 100+ Hours of Gameplay<br \/>\nIn a recent discussion with GameSpot, Hamaguchi revealed that the final chapter of Cloud Strife\u2019s journey will be dense with content. When asked about the expected playtime for those aiming for 100% completion, the director noted that players should prepare for a journey that will &#8220;easily take over a hundred hours.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This massive runtime reflects Square Enix\u2019s ambition to provide a definitive, feature-rich conclusion to the saga. While modern AAA titles often fluctuate between 20 and 40 hours for a standard narrative run, *Revelation* appears to be positioning itself as a sprawling epic designed to keep fans engaged long after the main credits roll.<\/p>\n<p>### Behind the Scenes: The Director\u2019s Perspective<br \/>\nHamaguchi\u2019s estimation comes from a place of deep familiarity with the project. As the director, he has personally navigated the game\u2019s development builds dozens of times to ensure quality control. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In a standard playthrough from beginning to end, if I were to review and check every single asset and element in the game, it\u2019ll easily take over a hundred hours,&#8221; Hamaguchi explained. He noted that while he has reached the credits 46 times during the development process, he often has to streamline his sessions-skipping combat encounters or side activities-to focus specifically on the core narrative flow and technical polish.<\/p>\n<p>### What to Expect from the Final Chapter<br \/>\nWith the final confrontation against Sephiroth looming, the stakes have never been higher. The development team is clearly prioritizing depth, ensuring that the world-building, combat mechanics, and exploration elements feel substantial. <\/p>\n<p>For context, the previous entries in the trilogy set a high bar for side content, from intricate mini-games to deep lore-expanding quests. If *Revelation* follows this trajectory, the 100-hour estimate suggests a level of density that could rival the most expansive RPGs in the genre. Whether you are a casual fan of the story or a dedicated completionist looking to master every system, the final installment of this trilogy is shaping up to be a massive undertaking when it arrives on PC and consoles next year.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"echo_read_more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/final-fantasy-7-revelation-will-easily-take-over-100-hours-for-completionists-to-beat-director-teases\" target=\"_blank\"> \u00bb More Info >>><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Naoki Hamaguchi has already seen the credits roll 46 times, but he\u2019s warning players that the final chapter of the *Final Fantasy VII* remake trilogy will be a massive undertaking.
