Square Enix has officially announced Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the concluding chapter of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy. Revealed at the Summer Game Fest, this final installment aims to bring a definitive end to the saga, arriving thirty years after the original 1997 release. Players will face a world threatened by Sephiroth and the Meteor, while navigating the narrative impact of losing an ally.
How will the new open-world mechanics function?
For the first time in the trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Revelation grants players the ability to explore the planet with complete freedom. According to Square Enix, players can pilot the Highwind airship and jump via parachute to different locations. This freedom of movement is designed to let players prioritize specific conflicts as they unfold across the map. The introduction of the formidable “Armes” serves as a narrative catalyst, turning exploration into a series of high-stakes decisions.
What is the FITS system and who are the new playable characters?
The combat system evolves in Revelation with the addition of the FITS (Final Fantasy Integrated Tactical System) and two iconic characters. Vincent Valentine, known for his beast-like transformations, and Cid Highwind, a master of the lance who excels in zone-based combat, join the playable roster. The FITS system allows players to equip outfits inspired by classic series jobs—such as Black Mage or Warrior—to unlock unique skills and deepen strategic customization.
What are the creators saying about the final chapter?
The development team views this title as the emotional culmination of decades of fan connection. Producer Yoshinori Kitase stated, “FINAL FANTASY VII, sorti en 1997, a été adoré des fans pendant des années et a obtenu le statut de légende. […] Nous espérons que vous serez témoins de l’union de nos cœurs aux vôtres.” Director Naoki Hamaguchi emphasizes “determination” as the core theme of the game, while creative director Tetsuya Nomura aims to incorporate the various interpretations fans have developed over the years into this final narrative.
How can players prepare for the conclusion?
Players can currently access the story through Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, which are available on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. These two titles have collectively earned over 140 perfect scores from critics. A Twin Pack is available for 69,99 € to help new players catch up. Additionally, the game offers accessibility features including unlimited HP/MP, permanent ATB, and accelerated skill learning for those looking to focus on the story.
