Explained simply
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is the next instalment in Square Enix’s remake project, which retells the 1997 role-playing game Final Fantasy VII across several releases. The story follows Cloud Strife and his companions as they confront the Shinra corporation and the threat posed by Sephiroth.
Square Enix is the Japanese publisher behind the series, and Naoki Hamaguchi directs the new game. Its earlier instalment, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, continued the group’s journey beyond Midgar, a city controlled by Shinra. The next chapter matters to fans following how the remake project will reshape the original story and bring it to a close.
