The new trailer highlighted the Highwind airship, playable Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind, a FITS outfit combat system, level‑99 cap, and a 32‑job “W.E.A.R.” system. Technical reviews noted the Switch 2 version runs at a capped 30 fps, while the Xbox build benefits from Quick Resume and Play Anywhere. An ongoing Chocobo glitch from *Rebirth* remains unfixed.
