Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi confirmed the game will likely be around 200 GB, a size he stated is necessary to overcome hardware limitations. This large installation has raised concerns about storage space on platforms like the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5. Hamaguchi later clarified that the substantial file size does not necessarily mean a better game, assuring fans that the title, which concludes the Remake Trilogy, represents over ten years of development.

Outlets differed on the game's exact title, with Gamespot and IGN referring to it as Final Fantasy VII Rebirth or Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, while Gaming Bolt, Retro Gamer, Eurogamer, and PC Gamer used Final Fantasy 7 Revelation. There was also some disagreement regarding the physical release; Eurogamer reported a digital-only release, while Gaming Bolt and Gamespot indicated a desire or commitment to still offer some form of physical product despite the large download.
