FF7 Revelation’s Opening Invites Deeply Intriguing Questions About The Trilogy’s Conclusion
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation, the third and concluding installment of the FF7 Remake trilogy, has released a playable demo of its opening 25-minute sequence. The game represents the culmination of an 11-year journey that began with the initial E3 2015 reveal trailer, following the 2020 release of FF7 Remake and the subsequent FF7 Rebirth.
Despite anticipation for answers about the trilogy’s conclusion, the demo’s opening segment instead introduces new questions and mysteries rather than providing narrative clarity. The sequence features Cloud as the playable protagonist, alongside what the demo describes as “the new crew,” suggesting potential new character additions to the established roster. Cid Highwind, a returning character from the original Final Fantasy 7, appears in the opening.
The demo’s intriguing and enigmatic tone suggests that Revelation may prioritize narrative complexity and unexpected developments in its approach to concluding the remade saga. With players having invested over 100 hours across the first two entries exploring the reimagined world of Gaia, the opening appears designed to deepen rather than resolve the storyline’s mysteries.
