Oct 20, 2026 6:30 AMGame director Naoki Hamaguchi talks about scale and expectations for one of gaming’s most ambitious remakes. Courtesy of Square EnixIf you're on the brink of completing one of the most ambitious projects in video game history, you're probably stressed. If said project is the decade-spanning Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, a ground-up rebuild and drastic expansion of one of the most influential games of the last 30 years, you’d probably be even more anxious. Naoki Hamaguchi doesn’t seem stressed, though. When I ask the Square Enix studio head and game director how he’s feeling as the release of Final Fantasy VII Revelation draws near, capping a series he’s worked on for over a decade, the only reply is a wry “I was just so focused, it really felt like it passed in a flash.”Hamaguchi’s calm demeanor is all the more surprising given the weight of expectation surrounding the project.

Garmin Revamps and Opens Up Connect Developer API Program: All the Details - DC Rainmaker
After some 7 months of being ‘closed’ to new entrants, Garmin has re-opened and revamped the Garmin Connect API developer program, focused specifically on 3rd-party platforms that want to receive data files from Garmin devices via Garmin Connect, or send certain types of data to Garmin devices. Things like receiving your completed activities/workouts, sending routes/courses or structured workouts to Garmin devices, receiving general health/wellness data, and so on. All of these leverage the Garmin Connect API today, and have for many years. Before we get into the details of the new program, Garmin closed it to new applications back in March due to an overwhelming number of inbound applications. With the rise of AI-generated apps, Garmin went from a handful of (mostly legit) applications each week to a tsunami of new AI vibe-coded applications each day. Fun fact: Less than half of all applications that were requesting access even bothered to use them, once granted.
