Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — TechPowerUp

It ranks mainly on source trust: TechPowerUp is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.

Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.

Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it and the subject could not be identified from the text. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.

Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.

What happened

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation may need around 200 GB of storage, according to game director Naoki Hamaguchi. Speaking to VGC at Tokyo Game Show 2026, he was asked whether the download would be larger than the two Blu-ray discs used for the previous games. Things are still getting worked out, but it's probably going to be around 200 GB of game. I understand there are a lot of opinions about this topic, but at the end of the day, the fact is we need to overcome the hardware to a certain extent. One thing I want to say is, even though the game will not be on the full disc, in the position we're in, because discs may be dying out, or maybe staying, with Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, we definitely wanted to deliver some kind of physical product.
