Square Enix has officially announced Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the final installment in the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy. The title is scheduled for a simultaneous global release in the spring of 2027 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
What is the story of Final Fantasy VII Revelation?
The narrative concludes the journey of Cloud Strife and his allies as they face the total extinction of their world. According to Square Enix, the story centers on the threat of the ultimate destruction magic, Meteor. The party boards the airship Highwind to confront Sephiroth, who has reached the realm of the gods. Players will navigate a world teetering on the edge of collapse while honoring the memory of lost comrades. The plot promises a race against time to save the planet from complete annihilation.
Who are the playable characters in the final chapter?
The final entry expands the playable roster to include the entire core group. Square Enix confirmed that iconic characters Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind are now fully playable, joining Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Red XIII, Yuffie, and Cait Sith. The game follows the events of the 2020 Final Fantasy VII Remake and the 2024 Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
"White-haired marksman Vincent Valentine and the hot-tempered ace pilot Cid Highwind join the fray, allowing the heroes to embark on a free-roaming adventure across the entire planet," Square Enix stated in its official release.
How does the FITS combat system work?
The game introduces the "FITS" combat system, which ties character abilities directly to their attire. By changing outfits, players can alter a character’s combat style and unlock unique strategic capabilities. Square Enix explains that this system allows for deep customization, where specific outfits grant new movesets—such as the Warrior class for high-damage melee or the Black Mage for long-range spellcasting. Players can combine these outfit-specific abilities with existing weapon and Materia systems to build their ideal party.
What defines the scale of the world in the final title?
Final Fantasy VII Revelation features the largest open-world environment in the series to date. Players can pilot the Highwind to travel across the planet, transitioning seamlessly between aerial navigation and ground-level exploration. The game includes familiar locations from the franchise alongside new, previously unexplored regions like Mideel and Wutai.
A major focus of this installment is the introduction of the "Weapons"—massive, planet-born guardians that awaken to protect the world from the threat of Meteor. As Square Enix noted, these creatures do not distinguish between friend and foe, forcing the protagonists to treat even the planet’s defenders as formidable enemies.
