Final Fantasy VII Revelation

Cid Highwind, the pilot of the airship Highwind, is playable for the first time in the remake series in Final Fantasy VII Revelation, as a lance-wielding dragoon and the party's aerial specialist: timed combos into Dragon Spin, Hyper Dive and Ground Pound, and a Target Spear (IGN calls it Mark Lance) that pins up to five spears to power his jumps. Hamaguchi says his final Limit Break ties into the Weapon battles and the Highwind.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation has a party of eight playable characters, with Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind playable for the first time in the remake series, alongside Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Red XIII, Yuffie and Cait Sith; Zack gets more playable segments, and Aerith's role is not announced. Godo, Glenn Lodbrok, Cissnei, Chadley and his assistant MAI lead the supporting cast.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation's English cast is led by Cody Christian (Cloud), Britt Baron (Tifa), John Eric Bentley (Barret) and Briana White (Aerith), with Matt Mercer as Vincent, J. Michael Tatum as Cid and Caleb Pierce as Zack; the one change is Sephiroth, now voiced by Travis Willingham in place of Tyler Hoechlin. The cast said goodbye at a New York Comic Con panel on Oct 8, 2026.

Sephiroth is Final Fantasy VII Revelation's antagonist, "nearing godhood" after Rebirth and waiting for Cloud in the Whirlwind Maze at the start of the game; Travis Willingham voices him in English, replacing Tyler Hoechlin, whom director Naoki Hamaguchi said had scheduling conflicts. Story DLC 1 of the Story Expansion Pass is named "Sephiroth".

Vincent Valentine, a former Turk changed by Shinra's experiments, is playable for the first time in the remake series in Final Fantasy VII Revelation, fighting with pistols whose abilities grow with every hit and turning into the Galian Beast at will, at the cost of a Chaos meter that lowers his maximum HP. Square Enix promises new reveals about his past, and Story DLC 2 is "Vincent & the Turks".

Final Fantasy VII Revelation has two paid story DLCs, Story DLC 1 "Sephiroth" and Story DLC 2 "Vincent & the Turks", planned between Winter 2027 and Spring 2028 and sold together as the Story Expansion Pass, which is included in the Premium, Premium Plus and Collector's Editions. Their stories, prices and dates are not announced as of Nov 7, 2026.

The bosses and enemies shown in Final Fantasy VII Revelation so far are Jenova Death (also written Jenova Deathmourner), the Tokyo Game Show demo's fire-and-tentacle boss, Gigas and Dragon Riders in the Whirlwind Maze, Malboros overrunning Gongaga, and tougher beasts in the Grasslands. A Knights of the Round storyline with a superboss-level fight has been teased. The Weapons have their own page.

The Weapons are colossal guardians the planet awakens against Meteor, and Final Fantasy VII Revelation makes them its signature fights. Square Enix has named Ruby, Emerald and Ultima Weapon, the reveal trailer gives Sapphire Weapon long screen time, and a brand-new Weapon appears whose name has not been revealed. Some are optional endgame battles.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation keeps the hybrid battle system of Remake and Rebirth, real-time action plus a Tactical Mode that pauses to spend ATB on spells, abilities and items, and adds two new fighters (Cid and Vincent), expanded synergies, the FITS outfits, and fighting from chocobo-back. Combat director Teruki Endo calls this entry "all about polish and increasing player freedom."

FITS (Function-Integrated Tactical Suitwear) is Final Fantasy VII Revelation's job system: four outfits per character, Warrior, Knight, Black Mage and Summoner, each giving a new moveset and role, chosen on the Highwind. A character without one is a Freelancer, and the outfits change how a character fights, not, by early accounts, their stats.

In Final Fantasy VII Revelation you fly Cid's airship, the Highwind, in real time over the whole planet from early in the game and parachute from its deck to land almost anywhere, with no loading. The ship is also the party's base, where you change FITS and meet Wize, Billy, Piko and Chadley.

Director Naoki Hamaguchi puts Final Fantasy VII Revelation's main story at about 35 hours or more and a completionist run at 100 hours or more. Hard Mode can be chosen from the start, Classic Mode returns, minigames get difficulty settings and a skip, cutscenes can play at double speed, and an optional prompt raises your party to the story's recommended level.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation brings back the Gold Saucer with snowboarding and chocobo racing, turns the Tifa and Scarlet slap fight into a minigame, adds a timed grapple race in Wutai and cat photography, and gives minigames difficulty settings and a skip. Queen's Blood returns too, on its own page.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation's side quests are odd jobs taken from people around the world, all new even in returning regions, and the party member you send changes how a quest's story and gameplay unfold. MAI, Chadley's assistant, announces the world's activities; previews found her notifications intrusive.

Piko is the party's chocobo in Final Fantasy VII Revelation, a mount that levels up with you, gains new abilities including high flight and an aerial dash, and fights at your side; you can attack from his back and dismount at any time. He lives aboard the Highwind with the chocobo farmer Billy.

Queen's Blood, Rebirth's card game, returns in Final Fantasy VII Revelation with a new story saga led by Red XIII (Nanaki) instead of Cloud, opponents whose abilities change the rules mid-match, and a new trump card mechanic. Wize runs it from the Highwind, where you edit your deck.

Square Enix has released six official Final Fantasy VII Revelation trailers as of Nov 7, 2026, from the Jun 5, 2026 Summer Game Fest reveal to the Sep 9 Nintendo Direct spot, about 22 minutes of footage in all. The 9:56 Combat and Exploration Deep Dive shows the most gameplay.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation is the third and final part of Square Enix's Final Fantasy VII Remake trilogy, an open-world action RPG coming on Apr 8, 2027 to PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and PC at once, from $69.99.

We think Final Fantasy VII Revelation ends at the North Crater with Holy against Meteor but with Zack and Cloud's worlds brought together, and that its Sephiroth DLC retells Ever Crisis's First Soldier story with young Sephiroth playable.

Press who played Final Fantasy VII Revelation at Gamescom, PAX West and Tokyo Game Show in 2026 praised its combat, Cid and Vincent, and the freedom of the Highwind, and worried about side-content clutter and constant interruptions from Chadley's assistant MAI. No public demo is announced as of Nov 7, 2026.

The Final Fantasy VII Revelation Collector's Edition costs $349.99, is sold only by the Square Enix Store in limited quantities, and adds a statue of Cloud, Zack and Sephiroth, the Story Expansion Pass and four in-game items to the Deluxe Edition, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S or Switch 2.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation costs $69.99 for the Standard Edition, $99.99 for the digital Premium Edition or the physical Deluxe Edition, $109.99 for Premium Plus, $84.99 for the digital Trilogy Edition and $349.99 for the Collector's Edition. Digital pre-orders get the Mecha-Chocobo & Moogle summon; the Square Enix Store's physical pre-orders get Sylph.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation launches on Apr 8, 2027 on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store and Xbox on PC), with no PS4 or Xbox One version. Director Naoki Hamaguchi expects the install to be "around 200GB", Switch 2 needs at least 130 GB, and every boxed copy needs a download.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation comes out on Apr 8, 2027 on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and the Premium and Premium Plus editions start 24 hours early on Apr 7. Square Enix has announced no launch hour as of Nov 7, 2026; Steam's data points to 14:00 UTC and the PlayStation Store's to midnight local time.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation comes to Nintendo Switch 2 on Apr 8, 2027, the same day as every other version, for $69.99. The boxed copy is a game-key card, the game needs at least 130 GB of free storage, and Nintendo eShop pre-orders opened on Sep 9, 2026.

The Compilation of Final Fantasy VII is Square Enix's set of spin-offs announced in 2003: Before Crisis (2004), the film Advent Children and the anime Last Order (2005), Dirge of Cerberus (2006) and Crisis Core (2007), later joined by The First Soldier and Ever Crisis. Hamaguchi says Revelation adds connections to all of them.

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII Reunion is Square Enix's Dec 13, 2022 remaster of the 2007 PSP prequel about Zack Fair, on PS5, PS4, Switch, Xbox and PC, and on Nintendo Switch 2 since Sep 9, 2026. Its story ends where Final Fantasy VII begins, which makes it the most useful extra before Revelation.

Final Fantasy VII is Square's 1997 PlayStation RPG, out Jan 31, 1997 in Japan and Sep 7, 1997 in North America, later ported to PC, phones, PS4, Switch and Xbox One, and sold more than 15.1 million copies. Revelation remakes its final third.

Final Fantasy VII Ever Crisis was a free-to-play retelling of the Final Fantasy VII story by Applibot and Square Enix, on iOS and Android from Sep 7, 2023 and Steam from Dec 2023, which ended service on Oct 6, 2026. Its new story about young Sephiroth, The First Soldier, is the likely source of Revelation's Sephiroth DLC.

In release order the Final Fantasy VII games run from the 1997 original through Before Crisis, Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, Crisis Core, Remake, The First Soldier, Crisis Core Reunion, Ever Crisis and Rebirth to Revelation on Apr 8, 2027. Before Revelation you need Remake (or Intergrade) and Rebirth; everything else is optional.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second part of the remake trilogy, came out on PS5 on Feb 29, 2024, on PC on Jan 23, 2025 and on Nintendo Switch 2 and Xbox Series X|S on Jun 3, 2026. It scores 92 on Metacritic and won Best Score and Music at The Game Awards 2024; Square Enix has published no sales figure.

Final Fantasy VII Remake, the first part of the remake trilogy, came out on PS4 on Apr 10, 2020; its PS5 version Intergrade (Jun 10, 2021) adds Yuffie's INTERmission episode and later reached PC, Switch 2 and Xbox. It has sold more than 7 million copies.

Spoiler warning. Final Fantasy VII Remake follows Avalanche's war on Shinra in Midgar and ends with Cloud's party breaking "destiny" by defeating the Whispers; Rebirth crosses the world after Sephiroth, adds Yuffie, Cid and Vincent, and ends with Aerith killed by Sephiroth at the Forgotten Capital while other worlds, including one where Zack lives, press against theirs. Revelation begins after that.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation tells the last part of the remade Final Fantasy VII story, in which Cloud's party, grieving a friend and flying the Highwind, races to stop Meteor and a Sephiroth "nearing godhood" while the planet's Weapons attack everyone. As of Nov 7, 2026 Square Enix has shown the opening hours and an early chapter in Wutai, not the ending.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation is developed and published by Square Enix, directed by Naoki Hamaguchi, produced by Yoshinori Kitase, with Tetsuya Nomura as creative director and Teruki Endo leading combat. Yoshitaka Amano drew the logo, and Nomura and Roberto Ferrari designed the characters.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation's world map is the whole planet as one seamless open world, flown by the Highwind airship with a parachute drop to any open spot. Square Enix has shown Wutai, the Mideel Archipelago, Rocket Town and the Northern Crater as new areas, and the Grasslands, Kalm, Junon, Gongaga, Costa del Sol and the Gold Saucer as returning ones, changed by Meteor and the Weapons.

Wutai is Yuffie's homeland, the warrior nation that fought Shinra, and a new area in Final Fantasy VII Revelation, built as a large capital of tall vermilion buildings, cats and grappling points. In the press demo it hosts Yuffie's Chapter 4 quest, with her father Godo Kisaragi and Glenn Lodbrok, while tensions with Shinra are at a fever pitch.
