Square Enix has given itself a monumental task with the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy. You would think simply retelling the story of the 1997 PS1 RPG classic with modern production values would be a tall order in itself, but this reimagining ambitiously pulls in elements from the metaseries that is Compilation of Final Fantasy 7 while also expanding it with multiple, even infinite, timelines.

In a GamesRadar+ interview, game director Naoki Hamaguchi told us, "The mission the team has is to basically recreate a new Final Fantasy 7 that includes all of that wider universe content from the start. So that's all consistently part of the world in the games that people will be playing."

With Final Fantasy 7 Revelation being the final part to this trilogy, and reportedly no DLC to follow, it's essentially the last chance to, as Hamaguchi puts it, "give the fans as much of the things that we know they want to see, the content that they want to look at, and we've included quite a lot of those references and connections to the wider Final Fantasy 7 universe in the last game."

It won't however just be a case of dolloping fan service for the sake of it, because if this finale is to truly stick the landing, it will also need to resolve the many new dangling narrative threads it has created in the previous instalments. Here's just 8 questions I have that I hope Final Fantasy 7 Revelation answers before I finally see credits on this epic reimagining.
