Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Ends the Trilogy in April, Loads of New PS5 Gameplay Revealed

Note to self - book week off in April.

I think this has the potential to be incredible from a gameplay perspective, but I must admit that seeing all of the icons and completion percentages on the map made me very nervous.

I'm excited to see how the Remake trilogy ends and how it'll differ from the OG's story.

I worry they will over complicate the battle mechanics with chocobo's and Job systems (I also don't like the job outfits but I know thats a personal thing. Mainly me being used to the original outfits for 30 years. Do worry about the sheer amount of icons looks like it could be a lot of open world busy work.

The real hero of this showing is the Collector's Edition screenshot on the Square Enix Store that confirms two Story DLC (Sephiroth, Vincent & The Turks). 🫡

@ShogunRok As someone who did everything in Rebirth and loved it I really hope they haven't scaled things back much in Revelation for those who didn't want to.

I wonder how miffed Keighley is that he only got a trailer for his show, hyped it up as the runner-up highlight of Gamescom opening night... aaaaand a week later Sony steals his thunder and then some.

(I had to laugh at them 2x speeding the dialogue towards the end. I'm sure it's not the message they were going for, but 'better if you skip it' is Threemakes side chatter in a nutshell.)

@dv_xedge Thanks for the dlc info. Was going to preorder this and play it day 1 but I should have know better. They’ll probably be announcing a part 4 before too long. Modern gaming is rubbish.😝

@rjejr The DLC is for story content for other characters, doesn't seem to have anything to do with the main game, just as DLC was decades ago.

@rjejr I'm sure it'll be a full experience without the DLC... maybe even too full if Rebirth is anything to go by!

Looks incredible. It's a day-one purchase for me (on PC).

@AlexPorto I'd like to get it on PC, but on PS5 my brother and I can both play with the one digital copy. Tough decision.

Not gonna watch any more gameplay videos as i did for rebirth, dont want to spoil anything!

I'm surprised that i got bored watching the 10 minutes gameplay despite i enjoyed Remake (not yet played Rebirth).

Something really turn me off. Maybe because those gazzilions of icons filling up the map / screen? Or maybe i'm just had enough of FF VII? Hmmm.....

I’ve been waiting to get a date so I can take my customary ff7 vacation. I can finally ask for the days off

Prepare yourselves, excessive bloat incoming

@CyberneticPriest I mean this is the point in the original where stuff started opening up through a combination of Highwind

@crossbit Geoff got the better trailer, I don't think he'll be too mad. Especially as Square would have paid good money for that spot.

My heart sank when I saw all those icons during the Highwind traversal

Figured it would be important to point out that Square Enix confirmed that the game is a Key Disc:

https://www.square-enix-games.com/en_GB/news/final-fantasy-vii-revelation-launches-april-8-2027

"Final Fantasy VII Revelation is also available for physical pre-order for PlayStation 5 (one disc), Xbox Series X (one disc), and Nintendo Switch 2 (game key card).* "

@Grumblevolcano That sucks. They didn't bother use two disc like they did with Remake and Rebirth. And then there's two DLC not in the base game.

@ShogunRok what should make u nervous is having to replay the sidequest with multiple combinations of characters since it changes things

I couldn't have picked a better release date. Uts out on my Birthday!

@PuppetMaster I would expect the dlc will follow later. They surely aren’t releasing two story dlc the same day as the game.

@PuppetMaster Considering Square Enix's general commitment to fully on disc for PS prior to PS5 KH1-3, I'm leaning towards this situation being Sony's fault rather than Square Enix. Wouldn't be surprised if we heard something like Sony setting a 1 disc per game limit for 2026/2027 releases as part of their plans to wind down the disc factories.

@BentIeyma @RockLoi I think the game will be complete, but I would also like anything Sephiroth or Vincent related, but I know once the game is done I’m done with it, won’t go back for dlc, so I’d rather just wait to be able to play it all at once.

And since I saw it say 2028 for the dlc, well maybe I’ll just wait. Who knows what other improvements the game will have by then, larger font, better menu system, smoother interface.

But it’s FF7, so we’ll see.😁

Right around my birthday, yay!! My most hyped game announced currently. So glad to finally play the conclusion

Queen’s Blood is worth $70 on its own

@Grumblevolcano I don't think it's Sony fault since the same case happen for Xbox version and Switch 2 version is game-key card.

@PuppetMaster Those 2 versions never had a chance of true physical. Switch 2 maximum cart size is 64GB and Square Enix have already said that the carts are too slow (microSD express and Switch 2 internal speeds are a lot faster of which there's no installing carts to storage system like there is for discs on PS/Xbox). Meanwhile Series X discs are 50GB so would require around double the number of PS5 discs.

@rjejr This is it my friend, outside of character based DLC which is optional. Even if they make a 4th for some odd reason, it’ll be optional too! 😆

@CWill97

I want more Queen's Blood. Hope they have online play for it too
