2015 Social Media Post Predicted Final Fantasy VII Revelation Title
The accuracy of an 11-year-old social media post has drawn attention to the naming logic behind the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy, which director Naoki Hamaguchi recently explained in an interview.
Reporting from 1 sources: Game Spark.
A post from 2015 by X user Caleb correctly predicted the third title in the Final Fantasy VII remake series, Revelation, before the first remake was released. The post also came close on the second title, Rebirth, and loosely matched the first game's full name. The prediction resurfaced after Square Enix announced Revelation at Summer Game Fest 2026.
At Summer Game Fest 2026, Square Enix announced Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the third entry in the remake series. Shortly after, a 2015 post by X user Caleb resurfaced. Before the first remake launched, Caleb quoted a Crunchyroll post and wrote 'Final Fantasy VII Re:Birth FiNaL REVELATION+ International.' Two of those three titles-Rebirth and Revelation-proved correct, and 'International' loosely resembles the first game's full version name, INTERGRADE.
Caleb responded to the renewed attention with 'LMFAOO.' In an interview with influencer Maximilian Dood, remake project director Naoki Hamaguchi said creative director Tetsuya Nomura chose Revelation from two or three final candidates. The title can refer to Sephiroth or to the series conclusion, meaning 'to reveal everything we have asked users through Remake and Rebirth.' Final Fantasy VII Revelation is set for spring 2027 on PC, PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S.
