What to expect from Final Fantasy VII: Revelation

As for what to expect from FF7 Revelation, director Naoki Hamaguchi has offered this description: "In this title, centred around 'resolve', Cloud and his companions will confront their respective convictions and continue their journey towards the final battle that will determine the planet’s fate.

"All the stories and emotions accumulated over the years will culminate in the most satisfying way with this experience, brought to you as the series’ final chapter."

As for actual plot details, the official press release also adds this synopsis: "Cloud Strife and his loyal companions face a world that teeters on the brink of annihilation.

"Grieving a beloved ally, and with their nemesis Sephiroth nearing godhood, the party takes to the skies aboard the airship Highwind in a race against time to stop Meteor, the ultimate destructive magic, and the total obliteration of the planet."

As for gameplay, the latest Combat and Exploration Deep Dive trailer showcases an impressive open-world experience that will allow you to skydive off the Highwind and land wherever you want on the continent below. A previous trailer also showed off the FITS system, which will allow you to equip different costumes that come with unique buffs. And it showed some giant Kaiju-sized enemies that you'll have to take on.
