Final Fantasy VII Revelation's Open World Design Detailed by Director Naoki Hamaguchi

Game director Naoki Hamaguchi explained that the upcoming Final Fantasy VII Revelation will feature an expansive open‑world map designed for clear navigation. Players will use the Highwind aircraft to glide and parachute to any point on the continent, with visual cues indicating main objectives and minigames that fade as they approach the ground.

The team emphasized that the design philosophy builds on the freedom introduced in Rebirth, aiming to unify the broader Final Fantasy VII Compilation into a single, cohesive experience. Larger environments, increased player choice, and refined storytelling are intended to support the game's emotional moments. Revelation is slated for a spring release on all platforms.
