Director Naoki Hamaguchi has detailed new gameplay mechanics for Final Fantasy VII Revelation, the upcoming third part of the remake trilogy. To prevent combat from feeling stale after Rebirth's perfected system, Revelation introduces 'FITS' (Function Integrated Tactical Suitwear), allowing characters to swap outfits to access classic Final Fantasy jobs like Warrior and Dark Mage. Additionally, the game features the Highwind airship for open-world traversal, utilizing a two-phase fast-travel system where players parachute down to the ground using memory and visual markers.
In their words
“I am pretty confident to say that in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, the hybrid combat system reached a perfected state, so to speak.”
