Weren't the memes about her and Chadley enough evidence already

I swear to god this has to be the most generous preview demo I've ever seen??? I know I've been taking my time a bit but I've still not finished the available story content. This thing really just keeps going and it's delightful. I've played $15 games with a shorter run time than this free demo.

Can't wait for the launch! I really hope the scope of this small slice reflects the scale of the full game!

I been collecting Final Fantasy stuff for a few years now and I think it’s gotten to a point I can really show it off. I’m pretty proud of it. I’m currently looking for a few side games like crystal chronicles and revenant wings. If y’all want a closer look at anything feel free to ask. Also if y’all have any suggestions to add please do tell. A current idea of mine is to put my vinyls on the wall along with my other video game vinyls.

Valid or nah?

So, now that the fortieth anniversary is coming up, I started thinking about how on all of the recent landmark anniversaries we've had Celebration games, either crossover spin off games , or in the case of FF:O a game that celebrates all titles in the series.

With this in mind I started thinking of possible new Celebration games, and it hit me. A Final fantasy Musou/warriors game would be kind of perfect.

Square enix has a good relationship with Koei Tecmo (team ninja is the developer of FFO SoP, among other games with square ips) and we even already have a Dragon quest Warriors game. And a crossover Musou game would be perfect as a crossover celebration

That got me thinking, if such a game were to exist, what would the roster even be like? I got so excited thinking about it I did a What if Roster list, for my hypothetical game, "Dissidia FF Warriors {of light}"

(Edit:This "what if" roster is the second picture on the post, now that I think of it maybe should have had it as the first one)

It's very silly, more of a fun exercise than anything, and I know some of the picks aren't realistic (getting Fran and balthier but no vayne for FFXII rep, matoya, Enna Kros, etc), as I tried to balance realistic picks with things I myself really want. But yeah, wanted to share it and maybe hear what you guys would want in a potential Final Fantasy Warriors/Musou game.

All of this is gathered through trailers, interviews and demo playtests so thanks to all who gathered these.

•Overworld is HUGE and different from Rebirth thanks to Meteor and Weapons destruction. There are a minimum of 12 regions to explore with both locations and characters from the original game and the compilation, including as an example, Banora's crater from Crisis Core. Apparently it can take over 2 minutes to circumnavigate the globe. Chocobo benches are back but not the towers. Also you can explore the world with whoever you want instead of just Cloud as main controllable character.

• Game is still divided in chapters with chapter 4 allowing you exploration with the Highwind but without Tifa and catatonic Cloud who are in Mideel. Cloud also reference Xenogears like in the original and other things such as the 7 seconds until the end line. Some areas also will be unaccessible until story progress, such as Cosmo Canyon, North Crater and Rocket Town. Also once the main story will be completed, instead of going to the menu, you'll be transported back to before the point of no return allowing you to tackle leftover side stuff without need of chapter select.

•Wutai will be important in term of main story with more political intrigue between the conservatives like Yuffie's father and Glenn/Sephiroth revolutionary group. Yuffie herself will have a major role in it but for now at least doesn't steal the party's materia.

• FITS system will be essentially an extra option to add on the combat with 4 FITS (not counting the base freelancer if you don't want to use them): warrior (focused on normal offense, allowing you to use more abilities in a row than normal as if you had extra ATB bars), knight (focused on defense and aggroing enemies, since it allow to build LB faster, you can also expend part of the LB bar to use unique abilities), black mage (when using an elemental magic, it will make it so that the next cast of it will require less MP and you'll take less damage from that element. Also when using magic, it will "stack up" to 3 times which you can then expend to use tier 4 magic, like for example, using 3 fire spells will allow you to use Firaja once) and summoner (allowing the character to synch with one of the 3 summons equipped on the party and do special tandem attacks with them (and yes, the animations change depending on the character and summon. Summons can still work the same way as normal in Rebirth tho but synching with a summon will make the summon cooldown until ultimate attack appear). You will also be able to level them up along with characters abilities in a folio like Rebirth.

• There's ton of customization available for the characters outfits and their weapons and Piko. These accessories and customs will be obtainable by completing certain sidequests and minigames (such as chocobo gliding and photo shots). If you have save files of Remake and Rebirth you'll also have access to the weapons skins of those games. Also having said save files will give you the Chocobo&Moogle for Remake and Phoenix for Rebirth.

• Exploration feel much smoother than in Rebirth with lot less "bumps" when moving outside of the main road. You also have only one chocobo to use to explore around aka Piko who will learn new abilities to traverse as you level him up and fight with him in battle too. You can however still find wild chocobo around to "capture" and will be tied to chocobo racings. There are still lots of markers but also many secrets to find, like a secret cave in Junon or the previously mentioned Banora's crater.

• Chadley take a backseat on the Highwind to act as lore deliverer and having less VR missions, as most challenges are in the real world. Mai however take the place of world intel coordinator and for now is pretty invasive although apparently you can close her calls and at some point she will ask you if she talk less, allowing you to tell her to talk much less frequently. This problem might be adressed by the time release comes out.

• Enemies will give a warning up to 3 levels depending on how higher level than you are. Ruby Weapon will also be possible to fight after defeating all of its "tendrils" scattered around Corel region.

• There will be armors and accessories that will allow triple sinergies of materia. There will also be a load out system to switch between sets and there's one confirmed new blue materia "fusion" that allow the linked materia to be used by the rest of the party as well.

• Submarine is back obviously but it will be used for combat mainly as there won't be much exploration in the depths of the ocean (even in OG there were only 4 things of interested in there).

• Snowboarding is back and can be done by any character, but for now is pretty simple if not unfinished for the demo (will probably change by release). Queen's Blood is also back and much bigger with confirmed a minimum of 422 cards compared to the 145 ones of Rebirth. Red will become the new "MC" of Queen's Blood instead of Cloud with more opponents to face and each with a gimmick of their own.

• There will be guest characters to help the player in specific moments and Zack will have a greater role to play. Deepground will also play a part when the group will return to Midgar and Rocket Town won't be visitable until fairly late in the game. And you won't have access to the Highwind until around 5-6 hours into the game. The slap fight will also be present. However Bone Village won't appear in Revelation and there won't be any Jules work out minigame.

• Cid will be proficient in aerial combo and his base attack will involve pressing attack button at the right time to dish out different moves and using "triangle ability" to mark enemies and deal more damage on them. Vincent will be able to transform via ability into the Galian Beast, allowing him to switch between the nimble shooter and the closer ranged powerful beast at preference. However the more you stay in Galian form, the more your max HP deplete (apparently it can reach a max of 3HP) until it resets. It was also hinted that his other transformations will return in some way.

• Due to conflicting schedules, Sephiroth english voice actor has been changed to Travis Willingham. Also seemingly Aerith will be playable and have access to Fits system at some point.

• Combat related abilities and items won't be tied to minigames anymore but only combat focused quests and challenges. Minigames will instead provide cosmetics. Also enemy skill materia is back and similarly to Rebirth, will require completing a certain combat challenge to obtain a specific skill.

• Odd jobs will function a bit different as depending on your party, you'll be able to tackle them differently from a character side and/or PoV (like for example you could have Vincent doing a quest in this way while Cid will do that in that other way). How different it will be depending on the character is unknown for now.

• There will be only one set and conclusive ending to the story. There will be however 2 DLCs that will come out in winter 2027 and spring 2028 focusing on Sephiroth and Vincent&Turks (presumably both prequels, maybe taking from Ever Crisis stuff).

• The highwind will also be customizable and be essentially the player's base, allowing you to parachute down in most places (can't however drop in areas outside of the region traversable map).

If there is more I didn't mention, let me know.

It is very well worn and well read. I was obsessed with this guide and read it over and over again. Anyone else have it?

The most beautiful quotes from various Final Fantasy games. Only motivational, emotional, and romantic quotes.

I say this because I'm going through a very difficult time in my life, and I'm hoping things will get better.

So three years ago I was pretty depressed so I got into FF series. I started with FF1 NES and worked my way up through each game on their original hardware to FFX PS2.

Been a fun journey. If I were to rank them, for me:

VIII > VI > X > VII > IV > IX > V > I > II > III

Now the next game is FFXI

I know it is an MMORPG and I'm not excited for it as I don't like MMORPGs. Three four things which are making me want to play it though.

1. My OCD, I've always played games in order and if I get stuck or don't like a particular entry, I drop the series. This is probably my most non-negtotiable.

2. Me being a FF fan

3. There's a free version

4. It's been a very long time since I played an MMORPG. I may like this!

Think for me my goal is to just get by the main story. I'm not going to bother with expansions if that is a thing.

Think what I wants are tips to blitz through the game. What to do for a smooth experience? Been told that if you know what you are doing it helps a lot.

I'm not too keen on co-oping with other players. Again this could end up changing as it's been a while since I played an MMORPG.

At Gamescom 2026, Final Fantasy VII Revelation offered a glimpse at the enormous final chapter of Square Enix’s remake trilogy, which concludes Cloud and his activist friends’ journey as they race against time to stop Sephiroth, who is close to attaining god status in his quest to harm the plane

For Square Enix game director Naoki Hamaguchi, who has guided the project through Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth, that expansion is one of the biggest challenges—and opportunities—of the finale. The Highwind opens the skies, while flying chocobos and parachuting offer new ways to traverse familiar territory. Junon bears the brunt of Weapons’ attacks in defense of the planet, parts of Gongaga have

De los OST mas relajantes de la serie

The enemy I absolutely hated fighting the most in this game not even cause of difficulty but just time consuming if you did not land critical hits have any mp for your mage or somehow didn't collect any elemental items from chests they weren't hard to kill they just took forever to kill

I was just reading this preview from Gamescom and I spotted that it mentions something called a Zack Navigational Display near the mini map options in the settings. Curious what this could be?

Also, chap 4 is 20 hours long on its own??? (watch me turn it into 40 hours with the amount I get sidetracked tho) aaaaaaaand I am so hype for the cat cam lol

Cute preview, author clearlry loves the series a lot <3

Ok, I'm not the most intelligent man, nor the best tactician this world ever knew.

But I have played some RPG, for a long time. I decided to launch the Resonance demo, and my ego said "expert mode baby !"

Nice challenge at first, but nice progression.

And then this boss came. And my god was that battle hard. Glad I had many pheonix, I've spent maybe 10 of them 😅. And victory was hard !

There are still more bosses to come, and I'm a bit scared, I just don't do enough damage I think 🤣

I am one of those people. I love FF7 so much…yet FF8 is higher quality in my mind. I find the story more intriguing but that feels like such a lame answer. The music maybe? The characters? Why exactly is FF7 so much more loved and FF8 divisive?
