Fans looking forward to the physical release of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation should be aware that owning a disc won’t mean entirely avoiding a download. The game’s director, Naoki Hamaguchi, has recently shed light on why physical editions of the upcoming title will still necessitate an additional download to access the full experience.
According to Hamaguchi’s explanation, the sheer scope of Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is the primary factor. He indicated that in order to contain the entire massive adventure within the confines of a physical disc, Square Enix would have been forced to reduce the overall quality of the final chapter. To ensure players receive the complete and uncompromised vision for the game, the decision was made to include a required download, even for those purchasing a disc. This report is based on information initially published by Eurogamer.net.
