Final Fantasy VII Revelation features characters from Final Fantasy VII spin-offs

The final part of the Final Fantasy VII remake trilogy Final Fantasy VII Revelation is looking to be something special. Today, it has been revealed that characters who featured in the various Final Fantasy VII spin-offs such as the beloved Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, and Crisis Core will make an appearance in Revelation. Here’s what Final Fantasy VII remake series director Naoki Hamaguchi had to say during a fan Q&A event in Shanghai:

“Well, at this time it’s best not to say whether Cissnei will appear or not, but there is one thing I can tell you.

This Final Fantasy VII Remake series is not simply a recreation of the original work, but rather, our goal is to create a single, new Final Fantasy VII that incorporates the settings and concepts of all the previous spin-off titles such as Advent Children, Dirge of Cerberus, and Crisis Core.

Therefore the appearance of Cissnei and the inclusion of Dirge of Cerberus Soldiers in the DLC, all have that meaning.

So, since that concept will of course carry over into Revelation as well, not limited to Cissnei, for the last entry, there will be characters that have appeared in the various FF7 compilation games that I think will be there, and each of these characters has a large and dedicated fanbase, so we want to create a work that can satisfy the feelings of those people.”

“Cissnei really has a lot of fans. Whenever I talk to the media or fans they very often ask me if Cissnei will appear or say they like Cissnei. (laughs)”

    1. What do you mean? I’ve enjoyed FF since 1987 when I was 7 years old. Every decade has brought excellent artistic style, music, and story. I’ve never felt let down by the brand. I’m not everyone, so I get that it’s not for everyone. I’m looking forward to the conclusion of this story though.

    1. My only hope is that we finally get to see Genesis Rhapsodos again after the ending of Dirge of Cerberus, still got my copy on PS2

  1. FF7 remake has thus far been a big letdown for me as a huge fan of the OG. Music is mostly worse, story is definitely worse, pacing is worse, combat is worse. All they had to do was recreate the OG in modern visuals and voiced dialogue. That’s it. The whole tone has gone from bleak almost post apocalyptic to something almost cartoony. I still play the OG every other year or so. Ive had to force myself to finish the remake games

    1. Strange, I actually preferred the remakes version of the soundtrack. The only version I didn’t like was one winged angel, I feel like they stretched out and remixed that version and it’s not my favorite version of one winged angel. But the battle theme, flowers blooming in the church, and so many more are better then the original in my opinion.

    2. The remake series has surpassed the original in quality and story telling. Battle system in original FF7 was boring and the terrible localisation in original negatively impacted important scenes.

      The music in original was distorted, try playing it on a Hi-Fi system and than compare it to remake version.

      Stop being blinded by nostalgia.

      1. Stop assuming it’s peoples nostalgia, you can’t read peoples minds; besides.. Nostalgia is more likely going to make you hate the game because of unreachable expectations that they can never be achieved, cuts both ways!

        Start accepting that people like myself who grew up playing the original 3 disc game enjoy the Remake and the changes that needed to happen. I don’t want to get attacked by monsters on the world map every 4 seconds like the original, thanks! Original had poor design, certain things needed changing about it, how’s that for nostalgia?

        You don’t like it? That’s too bad.
        They’re not going to satisfy everyone’s expectations, I liked it, some things about it I didn’t, but I measured the pros and cons, it’s acceptable and it even added things that helped the original make more sense and even fleshed out certain characters that weren’t given enough love. Johnny for example, barely knew he existed in the original; has 2 appearences in the original, one at the Sector 7 Slums, the other at Costa Del Sol with a girlfriend.. I never knew that until I did my research. FF7 original did a terrible job fleshing his and other characters out, Remake/Rebirth gave him the love he deserved. Allot of things that Remake/Rebirth fixed that made sense.
        Some things it didn’t.. But overall, I fully enjoyed it.
