Square Enix has finally announced, as part of today’s Summer Games Fest showcase, some more information about the third instalment of Final Fantasy 7 Remake series. It’s called Final Fantasy 7 Revelation
Whilst we knew that the title has, in fact, had a name for quite a while, it’s not something we’ve been privy to. And here we go: it’s not one of the titles we expected: namely, Reunion, Regurgitated, or Retold.
In a packed trailer, we saw some of the game’s key moments; fights with Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more, against multiple enemies (including some of the Weapons. If you know, you know).
During the showcase, Naoki Hamaguchi told us all that the key theme of this entry in the series is ‘resolve’, in that Cloud and his pals will each see through the key tenats of their journey that have carried them through to their destinations so far.
Check out the trailer below.
“As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins,” reads the blurb on a trailer.
“A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet’s fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion.
“In the final chapter of the FINAL FANTASY VII remake project, the scale has never been larger and the stakes have never been higher. Take to the skies and explore a boundless world, fight alongside a fully assembled party, master strategic and dynamic combat, and prepare yourself for the climactic finale.
“A vast planet awaits. Everything leads here.”
Prior to this blowout during Sony’s State of Play showcase, we’d managed to glean a few hints about what to expect from the game, but nothing too meaningful. We knew, for instance, that all-round nice-but-irritating lab assistant Chadley, would return in Part 3, perhaps as a way to streamline mini-games for Square Enix’s third entry in the revisited FF7 universe. We also knew that Naoki Hamaguchi has already completed “over 40 full playthroughs” of the game that the title will not “compromise on graphics whatsoever” despite move to multiplatform release.
Expect more news to emerge on the game in coming days.
