Hamaguchi's 'Tough Game' Comment Casts Doubt on Xenogears Remake Amid FF7 Revelation Hype

Final Fantasy VII Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi recently stated that remaking the PS1 classic Xenogears would be 'a tough game to make,' raising concerns that the title may never receive a modern update. This comment comes as Square Enix focuses heavily on the upcoming FF7 Revelation, which is set to release on April 8, 2027, and features a massive 200GB download size. While Hamaguchi confirmed a Xenogears reference exists in Revelation, he admitted he was unaware of its inclusion, suggesting it was added by former staff for fun. The lack of confidence in a remake, combined with the impending shutdown of PS3 and PSP digital storefronts in 2027, has led fans to fear the game will become inaccessible. Meanwhile, Revelation is generating significant buzz at Tokyo Game Show 2026, with hands-on previews highlighting new combat mechanics and a focus on character banter, though its sheer size is causing storage concerns for players.
