《最终幻想VII 启示录》支线任务在 PAX Aus 2026 后令我更期待

Final Fantasy VII Revelation’s Side Missions Have Me Even More Excited After PAX Aus 2026

After going hands-on with Final Fantasy VII Revelation at PAX West, I was admittedly pretty hyped. I mean, I was allowed to go free for all for 40 minutes which unfortunately felt more like 5 seconds… such is the plight of the FFVII fanboy (me!), but, while at PAX Aus, I got to check out some previously unseen footage that gave me another reason to be excited: what’s happening with the side missions. 

It’s easy to focus on the big story moments in a game like this. The Remake trilogy has certainly given us plenty of those already. These smaller adventures, though, could give us more time with the characters we love – and a different way to experience the world alongside them.

A different leader, a different perspective

One of the most interesting things shown in the preview was the ability to choose who leads the team during a side mission. The footage switched between Cid and Vincent, showing how a mission could be experienced from different characters’ perspectives. Differing dialogue choices were also part of what I saw. That immediately got me thinking about who I’d want to pick and why. I love the idea of giving different members of the party a chance to take the lead, especially if it means seeing more of their personalities come through in these smaller moments. 

How much those choices will change each mission remains to be seen. But the possibility of getting fresh insight into familiar characters is enough to make me want to experiment with different leaders.

Back to Gongaga with a familiar face

The preview also took us back to Gongaga, where Cissnei was helping defend villagers from a Malboro.

Seeing her involved was another highlight for me. Returning to a familiar location feels more exciting when there’s something happening there and characters we care about are part of it.

It also left me wondering who else might turn up along the way. The preview alluded to some more fan-favorite characters returning, so seeing Cissnei, who is a series standout character, return in a way that feels meaningful has me hoping those appearances will give us new moments with familiar faces, rather than just a quick cameo.

Optional adventures I’ll want to take

What excites me about these additions is the opportunity to spend more time with Final Fantasy VII’s world and its cast. Choosing a party leader and hearing different dialogue could make a side mission feel like a little adventure with that character.

I know a lot of people were really shocked at the sheer amount of stuff there was to do in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and I can certainly understand that. I usually don’t dabble in the “fluff,” but I went all in – that’s how much I love this world. Call me a fanboy, sure, but I’ve been a die-hard FFVII fan since the original was released!

If you’d prefer to stick to the main story, these missions are 100% optional.

For me, though? Between different character perspectives and familiar faces turning up along the way, I’ll be doing everything!
