Check Out 46 Seconds Of New Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Gameplay (And A Pink Chocobo)

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation aims to be the biggest chapter in the remake trilogy, not only in the number of regions players can explore, but also in verticality. Square Enix had previously shown off how the game's cast will be able to skydive into new locations on the world map, but for a taste of just how much verticality the game will have in certain areas, you can check out this new slice of gameplay set in the Midgar region, which features Cloud exploring a massive chasm underneath the city--and atop a pink chocobo, too.

While that's a lot of empty space to fly through, it's still impressive just how much of it there is. Of course, this is only one part of the game, and there's no guarantee every region will have caverns this massive. But considering how Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth greatly expanded on the environments of Final Fantasy 7 Remake with its open-world design, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is expected to raise the bar by increasing the size of the world around Cloud and the rest of the gang. Revelation will also introduce Cid's iconic airship, the Highwind, which will serve as the gang's base of operations, and unfortunately, Chadley is there too.

All that "planetary-scale" content will take up a lot of space on your PC or console, with game director Naoki Hamaguchi estimating the game will be "around" 200GB.

One of the big games to look forward to next year, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation will launch on April 8, 2027. It's estimated that a complete playthrough could take as long as 100 hours--something Hamaguchi had done 46 times already when last we spoke to him--and two post-launch expansions starring Vincent Valentine and Sephiroth will follow in the game's wake.

"My time with the final chapter of the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy clearly shows that the team at Square Enix has plenty of story left to tell. We’ll just have to wait until April for the rest of the Revelation(s)," Jason Fanelli wrote after going hands-on with Final Fantasy 7 Revelation earlier this month.
