Story & Timeline FAQ
Revelation picks up immediately after the events of Rebirth. Cloud and AVALANCHE race across Gaia aboard the Highwind to stop Sephiroth and Meteor, visiting iconic locations including Wutai, Rocket Town, Mideel, and the Northern Crater.
The Remake trilogy has significantly altered canon compared to the 1997 original. Aerith's fate, Zack's expanded role, and multiverse timelines remain the most searched topics. Hamaguchi confirmed that while player choices affect how events are perceived throughout the journey, Revelation has a single definitive ending — not multiple branching finales.
Wutai receives a major political storyline tied to Yuffie's homeland. Vincent Valentine and Cid Highwind join as fully playable party members with unique combat roles. Weapon battles — super-boss encounters from the original — return at planetary scale.
Does Revelation have multiple endings?
No. Director Naoki Hamaguchi stated the game has one definitive ending. Choices influence perception and events along the way, but the finale resolves into a singular conclusion.
What happened to Aerith in Rebirth?
Rebirth altered the timeline around Aerith significantly. Revelation continues that narrative thread. Avoid spoilers from leaked materials and wait for official chapter guides at launch.
Do I need to play Remake and Rebirth first?
Yes, strongly recommended. Revelation is the trilogy finale and assumes familiarity with Remake (Midgar) and Rebirth (open-world Gaia exploration). Save data bonuses reward returning players.
Does this game have redeem codes?
No. FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION is a single-player premium RPG, not a live-service or gacha title. There are no promo codes or Trello boards — those searches refer to unrelated mobile games.
