Final Fantasy VII Revelation Team Talks Advent Children
Final Fantasy VII Revelation Team Stays Quiet on Whether Advent Children Will Be Adapted
Final Fantasy VII Revelation will mark the final chapter of Cloud and his friends’ long journey across the remake trilogy.
After two full games expanding the original story into a much larger experience, fans naturally have one big question: what comes after Revelation?
For longtime Final Fantasy VII fans, that question quickly leads to Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, the animated film that continues the story after the original game. However, the development team is not ready to confirm whether the remake trilogy will eventually connect to that movie.
The Remake Trilogy Still Has Its Own Canon
In a recent discussion, Naoki Hamaguchi, director of Final Fantasy VII Revelation and one of the key leaders of the remake project, explained that the team cannot talk about Advent Children yet.
The reason is simple: the world of the remake trilogy has its own canon, and that story has not finished unfolding.
Hamaguchi noted that Final Fantasy VII Advent Children follows the events of the original Final Fantasy VII. However, the remake project is still moving through its own version of events, and Revelation has not yet revealed how this new journey will end.
Because of that, the team cannot say whether Advent Children will happen, be changed, or be treated differently within the remake universe.
Some Easter Eggs May Still Appear
While the team is staying quiet about a full Advent Children connection, the article notes that some small details could still appear as Easter eggs.
That means fans may still find references, visual nods, or small hints connected to the wider Final Fantasy VII universe. However, that does not mean Advent Children itself is confirmed as part of the remake trilogy’s future.
For now, players should treat any connection as speculation until Square Enix officially reveals more.
Revelation Will Feature a Larger World
Hamaguchi also confirmed that Final Fantasy VII Revelation will present a much larger world.
The new game will include locations from the first two remake entries, giving players a broader sense of continuity across the trilogy. This suggests that Revelation will not only push the story forward, but also bring earlier areas and memories back into the final chapter.
For fans who have followed Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, this could make Revelation feel like the full closing act of the remake journey.
What Is Final Fantasy VII Advent Children?
Final Fantasy VII Advent Children is an animated film released in 2005.
Its story takes place two years after the events of the original Final Fantasy VII. The film follows a new crisis involving mysterious figures who begin kidnapping children affected by Geostigma, a strange illness connected to the world after the game’s ending.
The film also builds toward the possible return of Sephiroth, making it one of the most important post-game stories in the wider Final Fantasy VII universe.
The article also notes that Advent Children has appeared as special event content in Final Fantasy VII: Ever Crisis.
The Big Question Still Remains
The most interesting part of this situation is that Square Enix is clearly keeping its answer hidden.
If Revelation follows the original game’s ending closely, Advent Children could still fit as a future continuation. But if the remake trilogy changes major events, the movie may no longer work the same way.
That uncertainty is exactly why fans are watching Revelation so closely. The final game may decide whether the remake trilogy leads toward Advent Children, moves away from it, or creates something completely new.
The team’s silence around Final Fantasy VII Advent Children makes sense. Final Fantasy VII Revelation still needs to finish the remake trilogy’s own story before Square Enix can talk about what comes after. Personally, that mystery makes the final chapter even more exciting. If Revelation connects to Advent Children, longtime fans will have a huge nostalgia moment. But if it changes the path completely, the remake trilogy could become an even bolder reimagining of Cloud’s story.
