Hamaguchi&#39;s previous showcase appearances \u2014 at both the <em>Remake<\/em> and <em>Rebirth<\/em> reveals \u2014 consistently delivered meaningful new information rather than re-cut trailers.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ff7-revelation-parachute-drop.webp?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Characters parachute from the Highwind airship over a lush coastal landscape in Final Fantasy VII Revelation\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Square Enix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>The Highwind, Parachute Drops, and the Biggest World in the Trilogy<\/h2>\n<p><em>Final Fantasy VII Revelation<\/em> picks up directly after <em>Rebirth<\/em>, following Cloud and the party as they head for the Northern Crater to stop Sephiroth before Meteor strikes the Planet.

Official screenshots already show coastal cliffs, open ocean, island chains, and dense jungle, with submarine traversal also confirmed.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ff7-revelation-weapon-coastal.webp?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A towering creature emerges from the ocean near an industrial platform in Final Fantasy VII Revelation\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Square Enix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Cid, Vincent, Wutai, and the FITS System<\/h2>\n<p>The full original-game roster is playable for the first time in the Remake series, with <strong>Cid Highwind<\/strong> and <strong>Vincent Valentine<\/strong> now confirmed as party members.
