Final Fantasy 7 director says Revelation’s Platinum trophy will be “easier to get”
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Director Naoki Hamaguchi revealed that the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Revelation will feature a Platinum trophy that is considerably easier to obtain than the one in its predecessor, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Hamaguchi explained that Rebirth’s low Platinum rate—about 2.6 percent—was intentional, designed to force players to master extensive content. After seeing fan backlash, he and battle director Teruki Endo expressed regret but stopped short of calling the difficulty a misjudgment. For Revelation, the team has shifted focus toward “enjoyable” combat and expects at least 20 percent of players, possibly more, to achieve Platinum. The sequel launches on April 8, 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
