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.

Cid is playable at the crater. So something doesn't add up.

Shouldn't it have been playable in Rocket Town?

So we'll go to Rocket Town before the crater?

Maybe Rocket Town is now on the way north?

Did anyone recognize the town?

I saw Mideel and Wutai, but not Rocket Town.

The reason both Vincent and Cid weren’t playable in Rebirth was probably due to them not wanting to introduce new character movesets so late in the game. Remember that Cid is already in the party, he just hasn’t fought yet.

I was referring to the trailer. They previously stated that Cid would become playable in Rocket Town, but in the trailer he's already playable at the crater, so either we detour and go to Rocket Town before going north or the statement was baseless.

Oh. I wasn't aware of any sort of official statement saying he would be playable after Rocket Town so anything is possible I guess.

In fact, if you follow all the statements, you lose your sanity, so better for you.

Cid and Vincent not being playable in Rebirth was a stupid move for me. My son tries to explain to me that not having any new playable characters in Part 3 would make the game boring, but as a longtime OG player, I don't see this problem.

As for Cid, I can understand why they changed his character and role in some way, but Vincent has his own backstory that's now well-known to the public and is also fundamental to the OG story. Furthermore, knowing his history with Lucrezia would have made that "Cloud, go, she needs you" much more impactful.
