  "account": "Final Fantasy 7 Revelation's director, Naoki Hamaguchi, has revealed that the game's conclusion could easily take over a hundred hours to beat for completionists. Speaking with GameSpot, Hamaguchi explained that he had completed 46 full playthroughs in preparation for the April 2027 launch. In a standard playthrough, devoting attention to every game asset and element, he estimated it would take over a hundred hours. While he cannot complete such a thorough playthrough in every session due to time constraints, he often skips combat to focus on the main story. The 2027 RPG installment, concluding the trilogy, is poised to be even larger than its predecessors, Remake and Rebirth. Players will navigate the game using a massive airship, the Highwind, engaging in numerous mini-games, battles, and exploring various areas.",
