Final Fantasy
A new look at Final Fantasy VII Revelation is out there to show off some of the biggest enemies we will face from Final Fantasy VII
It is time to get excited that gamescom has kicked off, as we have a big look at Final Fantasy VII Revelation out of the convention. Well, maybe not big in terms of length, but big in terms of what Square Enix is showing off to the world out there. Here we go with a new bit of story, some new summons, and the Weapons coming back into action. Fans of Final Fantasy VII from back in the day already know where it is all going, but new fans are going to be in for a treat. These are the big planetary defenders that will roam the world, and we are going to be on their kill list when the game lands on the PS5, Xbox Series X|s, Switch 2, and PC this coming Spring. Kick back and get ready to see just what the Ruby, Emerald, and Ultimate Weapons are going to be firing off at us.
All who played the original Final Fantasy VII will know how much of a bane these Weapons were the first time around, but it was an amazing challenge for us all to try to make it through. In this version of the remake, though, it looks as if they will not all be optional fights and part of the bigger story for us to complete. Thankfully, we will have the airship, the full cast of characters, and some new Summons to use along the way. I am still not seeing Hades or Knights Of The Round in the list, but we do have the new Typhon Summon to look at. Along with some of the parachute, grappling, and other mechanics we will get to employ against all of these Weapons in Final Fantasy VII Revelation. Also, a slight nod to the new FITS system that we will get to use. A system that will give us different outfits for the characters that will, in turn, give us new abilities and bonuses for each fighter. Long-time fans of the whole IP will know this to be close to the Job System or maybe even the Dress Sphere from past titles.
Final Fantasy VII Revelation — The Planet’s Crisis
In the trailer, enormous guardians called Weapons emerge to defend a world in crisis. Making no distinction between friend and foe, the Weapons wreak catastrophic destruction upon the planet and its people. Upon desert sands, in mid-air dogfights, and at the bottom of the sea, Cloud and his fellow heroes must stand against the colossal Weapons even as they toil to save the world from Sephiroth. A late-game element of the original Final Fantasy VII, the Weapons return in reimagined glory as standout battles in Final Fantasy VII Revelation, some of which appear in ultra-challenging endgame battles as an homage to their original forms.
The gamescom trailer also showcased the powerful new Summon Typhon and open-world exploration via parachute, grappling hook, and Chocobo mounts, plus Cloud and Tifa in their Warrior and Black Mage FITS. New to Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the FITS system introduces unique outfits that bestow new abilities and greater heights of power, with specialized roles evoking classic Final Fantasy jobs.
In Final Fantasy VII Revelation, Cloud Strife and his loyal companions face a world that teeters on the brink of annihilation. Grieving a beloved ally, and with their nemesis Sephiroth nearing godhood, the party takes to the skies aboard the airship Highwind in a race against time to stop Meteor, the ultimate destructive magic, and the total obliteration of the planet. The final battle has begun. Everything leads here. Final Fantasy VII Revelation delivers the unforgettable, breathtaking finale to one of the most ambitious projects in video game history and the culmination of 30 years of Final Fantasy VII storytelling.
In the game, the entire planet is freely explorable via the Highwind airship. Players can drop in via parachute anywhere, seamlessly transitioning from air to land. With Meteor descending and the Weapons unleashing terror, the planet’s conflicts are many, and the party will need to divide and conquer. Choose where to go, who to help, and in what order as the planet itself fights for survival. Make one last stand alongside a beloved cast of legendary heroes, making decisions along the journey that can impact aspects of their stories. Customize combat by switching between real-time action and Tactical Mode in the series’ acclaimed hybrid battle system, now expanded and perfected with new playable characters and powerful new abilities.
Newcomers and fans alike can catch up on the series before Final Fantasy VII Revelation arrives by playing the first two entries, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, out now across PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, XBOX Series X|S and PC.

Were you worried that all of the Weapons were not going to make it back from Final Fantasy VII, or is it more surprising that we will need to fight them all to truly beat this version of the game? Will we get all of the other Summons that were massive before, or are we going to lose out on the mini-movie-length Summons that captured us all from before? How do you feel about the new FITS system, and will it be something that truly enhances our experience in the game? Let us all discuss this and much more down in the comment section of the game. We still have a lot to go for Final Fantasy VII Revelation, and we will be there the entire way of it. Please follow along on the website and with all of our social channels so you do not miss out on any of the fun updates that we have. I am sure you are not going to want to miss out on a single thing.
