In an interview with French creator mistermv, translated on Twitter by Genki and verified by GamesRadar+, Naoki Hamaguchi was asked about the trilogy's biggest development challenge. He pointed straight back to Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

The Remake team started at 30 people, Hamaguchi said. Rebirth and Revelation, by contrast, could build on the foundation Remake laid. They were larger and more ambitious, he said, but they had a base to work from.

GameSpot, meanwhile, describes Revelation as aiming to be the trilogy's biggest chapter in both the number of explorable regions and verticality, citing a 46-second clip of Cloud exploring a chasm beneath Midgar on a pink chocobo.
