I read through the entire long FF7 Revelation Denfamico interview with Hamaguchi. Here are some huge revelations (pun intended 😏) about the game and what we know so far, translated/summarized by me:
-Player choice will have consequences unlike Rebirth, and this will affect the storytelling of the game. Each player might end up with a completely different experience.
-The Highwind airship will be available from the beginning of the game
-The wear system (jobs) will also be unlocked early on in the game.
-New stories will be told regarding places not explored much in the OG
-There are a lot of areas you can access with the Highwind early on, but you might not be able to proceed since enemeries are incredibly strong. They want players to have the feeling of "what should I do first?"
-The scale of the 'open world' feel of the game has greatly expanded
-Vincent gameplay allows him to switch between human form and beast mode with one button. There is no time limit, similar to how Yuffie uses her shuriken mode.
-Cid is very adept at aerial combat
-Vincent and Cid have synergy elements as well as with other characters too.
-Zack will have even more scenes in Part 3 and plays an important role
-The idea of multiple timelines is conveyed through Zack's presence and his part of the story
-The replacement VA for Reno has been decided, and Reno and the Turks will have a lot of screentime in this game.
-Wutai is incredibly fleshed out this time around, and the Turks will also be a part of it. Wutai will have a very political storyline involved.
-Midgar is back in Part 3 and you can explore it again, and you may even encounter some Deepground characters as well...
-Rocket Town is indeed in the game. Hamaguchi says they actually wanted it to show up in Rebirth, but they decided to have it in Revelation instead. It will be accessible towards the latter part of the story
-The underwater area will appear in Revelation, but he can't delve into details just yet
-Hamaguchi says that OG FF7's Knights of the Round summon was something that came up in discussions in every part of the FF7 Remake series. They are currently developing the content to be worthy of its epicness, so he tells fans to look forward to seeing how it will be shown in the game.
-FF7 Revelation does indeed have an ending, and it is one that Hamaguchi is proud of that serves as a conclusion to a series that has taken more than ten years. As for what that ending will be, you'll just have to experience it yourself.
-The affinity system from Rebirth will be different in Revelation. More focus will be put to some extent for all characters to flesh them out properly.
-If you want to learn more about a certain character, you will be able to do so in a way that will deliver a different experience than the one in Rebirth.
-Hamaguchi doesn't really like the concept of multiple endings and as a creator wants to deliver a confident ending to the FF7 Remake series; HOWEVER, player choice in Revelation will heavily affect what outcome you get that actually changes the storytelling of the game.
-Mini games will not be less in number, but they are toning down the difficulty for players who had issues with them in Rebirth
-The slap fight between Scarlet and Tifa is indeed still in the game and will be a mini game lol
-The theme of FF7 Revelation is "resolve." Everyone has followed the journey of Cloud and his friends for almost a decade at this point, and the story is filled with determination as it heads to its finale. The development team has put their resolves into delivering something truly great for everyone to enjoy.

Noel shared more details about her recent dinner outing with KanaCoco, Aki, and Choco sensei!
- It was in a Michelin 3-star restaurant that requires bookings 3 months in advance
- The place requires a dress code, knowing Kanatan's "futuristic" fashion sense Noel tells Kanatan in advance. Kanatan ended up showing up in a super cute one-piece dress! She had actually gone shopping specifically for it and sent tons of photos to Choco sensei to help her choose the perfect one. She even sent a picture of her entire shoe rack because she couldn't decide on footwear😂
- Coco wore something quite sexy that even surprised Choco-sensei
- The food was so incredible that Kanatan looked like she might cry happy tears. Coco was really happy they could all gather like this for a meal, even after graduation.
- Since it was Noel's invitation, she generously paid for everyone. The group (especially Kanatan) insisted on paying her back as usual, but Noel just asked Kanatan to treat her to more meals instead.
- Noel plans to visit Kanatan's new place once she's fully moved in and settled. She intends to keep meeting up with her regularly to have fun and also check if she's doing well. After all, Kanatan is a delicate, fragile existence (儚い存在, a word Noel has been using for years to describe Kanatan which I think it fits so well)
Thank you Holomen🫶Kanatan is so loved and she's having fun everyday!!
