FF7 Revelation’s Opening Invites Deeply Intriguing Questions About The Trilogy’s Conclusion
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the third and final installment of Square Enix’s FF7 Remake trilogy, has left players with more questions than answers following its first playable demo. GameSpot’s hands-on experience with the opening 25 minutes revealed intriguing narrative mysteries, suggesting the trilogy’s conclusion may diverge further from fan expectations and the original story.
The demo placed players in control of Cloud alongside returning characters including Cid Highwind, showcasing the continuation of the reimagined Gaia story. The author, who has invested over 100 hours across the previous two entries (Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth), expressed particular intrigue at how the narrative appears to be developing. Rather than providing clarity on long-standing questions about the trilogy’s direction, the opening sequence deepened the narrative mysteries.
Revélation represents the culmination of an 11-year development cycle, with origins tracing back to Final Fantasy 7 Remake’s E3 2015 announcement. The demo suggests Square Enix has maintained the narrative ambition that characterized earlier entries, presenting complex storytelling rather than straightforward conclusions. While specific plot details remain sparse, the opening indicates the developers remain committed to expanding themes and character development established in previous games.
