Final Fantasy 7 Revelation devs were "able to remain true" to the original 1997 JRPG, lead says, even if the story order "might be shifted up a bit"

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation.

One of the biggest highlights of this year's Summer Game Fest was none other than the reveal of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the third part of the JRPG remake from Square Enix – a part that'll apparently stay as true "as possible" to its 1997 predecessor.

Or, at least, it sounds that way. Director Naoki Hamaguchi tells tells VGC as much in a recent interview, confirming that Square Enix is pressing on with its philosophy to live up to the PlayStation original's memory – even if the developers themselves feel as though axing a certain cutscene or two might work as they're "less important." After all, they might not be interpreted as less important by the fans… and they're who matter to the devs.
