Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director pushed Square Enix for a physical release

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation launches April 8 on a single disc that only holds the opening of the game, with the rest requiring an internet download. Director Naoki Hamaguchi said he used his position to argue for a physical edition, though SKU decisions rest with the publishing team.

• Game ships April 8 on one disc instead of two like Rebirth
• Disc holds only the opening; the rest must be downloaded online
• Hamaguchi says publishing team, not the director, decides SKUs
• Director foresees a future where physical media is essentially disc-less
