Director Reveals Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Storage Requirements
Covered by 3 sources · 3 articles
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's scale has outgrown traditional disc constraints. Director Hamaguchi disclosed that the upcoming sequel requires roughly 200 GB of storage - a figure that would have made a two-disc physical release impractical. That estimate doesn't account for post-launch DLC, suggesting the installed footprint could grow substantially after release.
- Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth demands around 200 GB, exceeding what two discs could reasonably hold.
- The 200 GB figure is a baseline before any post-launch content gets added.
- Physical media limitations have effectively dictated the game's digital-only or substantially digital approach.
Modern AAA production has reached a scale where physical media is becoming a storage liability, not a solution.
