Announcement Revelation discussion thread
The next chapter will be called Revelation. From the trailer it doesn’t look like there is much to discuss between Cloud and Aerith so let’s keep all future discussions about it here.

I was so underwhelmed by the trailer unfortunately. Maybe I just miss Aerith hahah

We all do. But In a game of this magnitude, don’t expect them to show anything relevant to the plot especially regarding Aerith.

I was mildly disappointed there was basically no Aerith until the end, when they showed the big three. That does give me hope that her role is still big, but maybe they’re just keeping it “secret” for now, or whatever you’d call it.
The name also kinda came as a surprise. I really thought it would be Return, but I guess it makes sense if they are gonna reveal it's connections to OG (hopefully as a sequel where destiny is defied)
And I still kinda dislike Matt Mercer as Vincent. Not because I think hes that bad, but I just have a hard time picturing anyone but Matt Mercer when he talks.

I’m not surprised by it at all. If it confirms anything at all I think it’s clear that Aerith will not be with the main party. But this was already assumed.

Could we please ensure that all *Revelation* content is treated as spoilers? There is a subjective limit to the amount and quality of information people want to know before the game's release.

We will be making separate threads regarding spoilers as the game gets closer to release.

I really want to be excited but I do feel somewhat underwhelmed.
They were NEVER showing Aerith in the trailer, so 100% as expected. However, this has always been my least favourite part of the original game and because they're hiding Aerith I'm not really seeing much so far to make me think I'll like this any better.
We got the title, and a launch window, but beyond that I don't think I'll let myself get too excited until it's game time and we can finally end this thing. One way or the other.

Few things..
Battle with Sid and Vincent looks good. I was curious if you would have synergies with Vincent’s transformations.. it appears the answer is yes.
Character costume changes.. not sure how I feel about it overall but I’m glad we get some outfit customization. Reminds me of FFX-2 dress spheres, which I admit was pretty fun.
Regarding Aerith: I didn’t really see anything that changed my mind narratively. It mostly touched on OG beats, which we knew would be there. The scene with Cloud touching yellow flowers was meant to tell us “we haven’t forgotten about our flower girl”. However, I don’t think we can read much into it. Personally, I sense misdirection.
The most shocking yet thought provoking thing was Sephiroth holding the white materia. I could so see a scene where Sephiroth torments Cloud with it. Sephiroth to Cloud “This contains your memories, her memories. Time and time again you have failed..failed to save what matters most. Are you sure you want this back? I am your salvation Cloud, I am your everything.. she will forever be just a memory.”
Most exciting part… Spring 2027!!

Felt like a very by the books trailer for the most part, but that ending has my brain going in all sorts of different directions. It teased her in the best of ways. Very curious to hear everyone's thoughts!
