Revelation it's also likely to land with a bang for another, more emotional reason: it's the conclusion Final Fantasy VII remake saga that started more than six years ago Final Fantasy 7 Remake.

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation brings back the Queen's Blood with some key changes

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation director Naoki Hamaguchi reveals some details about the return of Queen's Blood, including some noticeable changes.

Vincent and Zack's Roles Will Be 'Even Bigger' in Final Fantasy 7 Revelation

In a recent discussion with GameRant, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation Director Naoki Hamaguchi said this when asked about the influence of the PSP game Final Fantasy 7: Crisis Core had in the upcoming game:

“Zack will have an even bigger role this time, not only in the story, but also in terms of the overall game experience for players.

It's not just about that Crisis corebut also Lament of Cerberusspin-off Vincent Valentine. These spin-off titles have quite a large impact on the remake series as a whole, as the concept of remakes is to remake the entire world FF7. So in that sense Revelation will have elements that tie into the two games and even Advent children.”

Leave the junk aside Advent children name-drop, it is clear that the two most popular singleplayer FF7 spin-offs will play Final Fantasy 7 Revelationalbeit in a circular fashion. Although the game is unlikely to be a direct adaptation of the main part Crisis core or Lament of Cerberus (if not sure Final Fantasy 7 Revelation DLC theories prove correct), will continue to focus on Zack and Vincent, further expanding the “world FF7”, as Hamaguchi said.

Zack Fair's role in Final Fantasy 7 Revelation

Zack Fair was a perfect First Class SOLDIER, aka an elite, genetically modified member of the Shinra military. Despite his often happy attitude, he took a leadership role in the military and served as something of a role model to many of the younger recruits, including Cloud Strife. Although the remake saga did not fully flesh out the character, her true fate and relationship with Cloud are ambiguous, those who played the original FF7 can confirm its meaning.

What's next for Zack Fair?

In the original Final Fantasy VIIZack had almost no screen time and was not playable, but he is much more present in the remakes. You could even play in it Final Fantasy VII Rebirthso the fact that he will return in Revelation not exactly shocking. By the same token, Hamaguchi's statement about Zack's role in the “overall gameplay experience” as well as the narrative should come as no surprise. It will probably be playable again.

But that doesn't mean there won't be Zack-related surprises in store Final Fantasy 7 Revelation players. The newcomers will find out exactly how important Zack is to them FF7 story, of course, but even series veterans can expect twists and turns. It's undeniable that Zack's role is more visible, more complicated, and more interactive in this rendition FF7so there is a good chance that they will appear in unexpected or significantly altered contexts. We can even play another replay of his story as it unfolded Crisis core.

Vincent Valentine's role in Final Fantasy 7 Revelation

Vincent may be even more mysterious than Zack, at least at this point in the remake's continuity. All players currently know is that he's seemingly been sleeping in a coffin for a long time and has “unfinished business” with Sephiroth, prompting him to join the main party. Even if it is unplayable Rebirthit will be possible to play Vincent Valentino Final Fantasy 7 Revelation.

What's next for Vincent Valentino?

Like Zack, Vincent will have his story expanded further FF7 Revelationwhich sheds light on mysteries such as his monstrous transformation, long sleep at Shinra Manor, and brooding, brooding attitude. Hard to say more without spoiling it outright Final Fantasy VIIbut suffice it to say that he is an interesting part of the “world FF7“, which Square Enix wants to recreate through remakes. It also stars in it Advent childrenso it is possible Revelation this time he incorporates aspects of that film into Vincent's characterization.
