In an interview with Famitsu magazine to discuss the recent announcement of Final Fantasy VII Revelation, director Naoki Hamaguchi was asked about the possibility of DLC for the Remake trilogy closer. If you’ll remember, Final Fantasy VII Remake received DLC when it was ported to PlayStation 5 in its Intergrade form, so this isn’t completely out of left field. As you would expect, Hamaguchi didn’t confirm anything, but said the possibility exists should fan demand warrant it.
“Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will conclude the series,” Hamaguchi explained, “but if there is significant demand and requests from users after release, we would like to actively consider addressing the requests for more details and exploring aspects that haven’t been depicted yet, including previous spin-off titles.” To me, that reads more like additional FF7 Remake games, but it probably means DLC is on the table for Revelation.
Why did Rebirth not receive DLC? Well, it seems Square Enix was more focused on finishing the massive title rather than expanding it. It also wanted to work on Revelation instead of making fans wait because of DLC. “We received many requests for DLC for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth as well,” Hamaguchi told the outlet. “However, we decided that it would ultimately be better for our users to invest all our development resources into Final Fantasy 7 Revelation and release it to the public as quickly as possible, rather than creating DLC at that time.” Certainly makes sense.
