The Planet&#8217;s Crisis trailer had a lot to unpack: two beloved characters joining the playable roster, a confrontation with the Planet&#8217;s deadliest guardians, a new job-inspired outfit system, and a world opening up further than ever before.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/87TNASkXOWQ\" title=\"FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION | The Planet&#39;s Crisis Trailer\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION | The Planet&#8217;s Crisis Trailer \u2014 via FINAL FANTASY on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind Join the Party<\/h2>\n<p>For the first time in the remake series, <strong>Vincent Valentine<\/strong> and <strong>Cid Highwind<\/strong> are confirmed playable characters. Vincent, the brooding former Turk who slept in the Shinra Mansion basement throughout much of the original game, and Cid, the no-nonsense pilot with a foul mouth and a giant spear, have been teased since Rebirth \u2014 and Revelation is where they finally step fully into the action. Both were fan-requested additions, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/see-the-gamescom-2026-ffvii-revelation-trailer\/\">their appearance in the trailer<\/a> signals that the full roster of beloved FFVII characters will be present for the finale.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ff7-revelation-key-art.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Final Fantasy VII Revelation official key art showing the full cast including Cloud, Aerith, Tifa, Sephiroth, Zack and others\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Square Enix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Three Weapons at Once \u2014 and Sephiroth&#8217;s Meteor<\/h2>\n<p>The trailer&#8217;s centrepiece is as apocalyptic as it sounds: Sephiroth summons Meteor, and the Planet responds by awakening <strong>Ruby Weapon, Emerald Weapon, and Ultimate Weapon<\/strong> simultaneously. Players face all three in what appears to be a colossal multi-boss sequence fought across desert sands, mid-air dogfights, and at the bottom of the sea. In the original game, Ruby and Emerald Weapon were hidden post-game superbosses \u2014 seeing them woven into the main narrative raises the stakes considerably for Revelation&#8217;s story.<\/p>\n<h2>The FITS System \u2014 Classic FF Jobs in Remake Form<\/h2>\n<p>A new gameplay layer called the <strong>FITS system<\/strong> was shown, with Cloud donning a &#8220;Warrior&#8221; outfit and Tifa wearing a &#8220;Black Mage&#8221; FITS. These aren&#8217;t just cosmetic \u2014 each FITS grants new abilities and a specialized role inspired by classic Final Fantasy jobs. Think of it as a job system layered over the existing combat: Cloud&#8217;s Warrior FITS emphasizes brute-force offense while Tifa&#8217;s Black Mage FITS opens up magical attacks and summon-based play. The FITS system appears to be one of Revelation&#8217;s biggest mechanical additions.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/ff7-revelation-tifa-gameplay.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Tifa Lockhart in combat in Final Fantasy VII Revelation, gameplay screenshot\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Square Enix<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Open World Gets Even Bigger \u2014 Highwind, Parachute, Submarine<\/h2>\n<p>Revelation expands on Rebirth&#8217;s open-world ambitions with new traversal methods: the iconic <strong>Highwind airship<\/strong> enables seamless open-world travel, while parachuting and a grappling hook add vertical mobility. Chocobo mounts return, and the <strong>Submarine<\/strong> \u2014 a beloved feature from the original 1997 game \u2014 makes its return, suggesting meaningful underwater sections. As we reported when <a href=\"\/blog\/ff7-revelation-gamescom-onl-gameplay-august-2026\/\">FF7 Revelation was confirmed for Gamescom<\/a>, the team has been building on Rebirth&#8217;s open-world systems, and this trailer shows the results.<\/p>\n<h2>Typhon Joins the Summon Roster<\/h2>\n<p>Tifa was shown summoning <strong>Typhon<\/strong>, a powerful wind\/storm entity rooted in classic Final Fantasy lore. Typhon is a new addition to the remake trilogy&#8217;s summon lineup and appeared to deal massive area damage in the trailer beat shown. The summon roster \u2014 already expanded significantly in Rebirth \u2014 continues to grow for the finale.<\/p>\n<h2>Spring 2027 \u2014 and This Time, All Platforms at Once<\/h2>\n<p>FF7 Revelation is set for <strong>Spring 2027<\/strong> on PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store, and Xbox on PC). No specific date was given at Gamescom. Notably, this is the first entry in the remake trilogy to launch simultaneously across all platforms: FF7 Remake was a timed PS4 exclusive, and Rebirth launched on PS5 before reaching other platforms. For Singapore fans on Switch 2 or Xbox who sat out the first two games, Revelation is the first entry in the trilogy you&#8217;ll be able to play on day one without waiting for a port.
