Square Enix Attempts The Impossible With Final Fantasy VII Revelation, As It Improves Rebirth's "Perfect" Battle System For Part 3

Key Points:

• Final Fantasy VII Revelation, set to launch in Spring 2027 on multiple platforms, aims to enhance the hybrid combat system perfected in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth by introducing the new FITS (Function Integrated Tactical Suitwear) system, allowing players to choose different classes for each character.
• The FITS system is designed to give players more freedom in character customization and gameplay, contrasting with the more guided, "on-rails" experience of Final Fantasy VII Remake.
• The game will feature a substantial open world with minimal restrictions, balancing player freedom with guidance through mechanics such as location icons shown when jumping from the Highwind airship, encouraging exploration without excessive direction.
• Director Naoki Hamaguchi emphasized the importance of offering enough guidance to prevent players from feeling lost while maintaining the excitement of open-world exploration, aiming to expand on the groundwork laid by Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
• This approach to open-world gameplay draws inspiration from titles like Elden Ring and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, promising a fresh and engaging experience within the Final Fantasy VII series.
