If there’s one thing that’s become daunting <\/em>about the modern RPG, it’s the ballooning time investment. There’s no better example than the Final Fantasy 7 Remake trilogy, a reimagining of a classic that has stretched itself out between three entire fully-fledged games.<\/p>\n

Final Fantasy 7 Revelation<\/a> just had its release date dropped alongside a 10-minute gameplay deep dive during PlayStation’s State of Play<\/a>. In it, we got to see a closer look at the airship overworld.<\/p>\n

It’s pretty dang impressive. Your airship’ll let you zip around the open world in record time, showing you a charming mini-model of each zone\u2014it’s not one hundred percent seamless (there’s a cutscene between choosing a landing spot and parachuting down that’s doubtless there to disguise some loading) but the ability to parachute down anywhere is neat, and it feels like a modern-day realisation of what the classic airship overworld of older RPGs were trying to do.<\/p>\n

We saw this in practice in a couple of locations, including Wutai\u2014wherein Yuffie was able to grapple hook to a nearby roof and have a roam around. And yet, despite how impressive this all looks, I can’t help but feel a certain dread set in.<\/p>\n
